A food contest? Well, this show pulls out more gimmicks but it was a fun episode when you realize they had to improvise after some trouble.

The episode was kinda cute, in particular for Lammis and her personality. This feels like a really chill episode, even compared to some the others.

5:56 "Oh, you have to eat it quickly, too!" Isn't this what makes this a contest in the first place tho?
Lol I wonder how that performance went in the LN
The first thing that popped into my head was giving food to people in need so this was nice (I just wish he gave them healthier food)

Lol wasn’t expecting a food eating contest but this was a pretty chill episode.

Shui and Lammis were eating everyone under the table. The introduction of coke to the world was also cool.

We get a new form from Boxxo, an onsen machine. I know a lot of his forms are based on real designs, not sure if that one is or not. But it was nice giving back to the orphanage. I can definitely see Shui taking it over some day.

The Eating contest looked really fun and am glad we got some focus on Shui this episode she seems such a nice girl her cares deeply about the Director and the children of the Origin stratum

The eating contest made me hungry. Shui deserved the prize. She used Boxxo as a charity to those children in the form of foods and other things too.

Boxxo improved in self defense.

Will the first strata get some lightning or something?

Damn, I'm hungry after watching that eating contest. Not what I was expecting.

The Origin Stratum is pretty interesting. A massive cave basically. It's great how Boxxo fed everyone there too.

Boxxo nearly got himself kidnapped, until he attacked with the washing machine and barrier, pretty funny really.

Oh hey, there's the jukebox.

We sure saw a lot of Shui the archer girl here. I wasn't expecting any of the Menagerie characters to get development, so that's a pleasant surprise.
Also some really good world building with the Origin Stratum's role in the dungeon. It's the dungeon's entry point, and any adventurer who's strong enough to survive has already moved on to the other strata. The end result is a land stricken by poverty. Good on Shui, Lammis, and Boxxo for helping out those orphans.

The director must have sniped the hell out those criminal scums. Anyone who gets respect from the Bear is not someone to be messed with.

It seems that Shui is an orphan. I can't help but wonder if her insatiable appetite might be a result of psychological trauma from frequently experiencing hunger during her childhood.

Based on the preview for the next episode, it looks like Boxxo plans to gift the orphanage with a collection of intricate figurines inspired by Japanese mythology as a farewell gesture. This appears to be a fitting way to spark their imaginations, especially since they essentially live in a cave-like environment.

The eating contest was goofy but a good time, I wasn’t sure why Boxxo would end up becoming a jukebox after seeing the preview for this episode but just to play fitting music during the eating contest makes sense, it’s too bad he didn’t play Surfin’ Bird or something tho lol. And Shui being the one to win the contest was nice to see, especially after seeing the 2nd half of the episode where she helped those unfortunate kids in the origin stratum.

And I gotta say, I wasn’t expecting Boxxo to scare those bandits away the way he did but it was definitely funny lol, the hot spring vending machine was also unexpected, makes me wonder if that’s actually a thing, knowing Japan it probably is tho lol. It was very nice getting some Shui focus today.

It's funny how earlier in the series I always believed Shui was an elven character. Not because anything related to that was ever stated as such, but I think it was just because in many fantasy series, wearing vibrant green, the color of the forest and nature, along with having white/silver/blonde/general light-colored hair usually denotes an elf character. Plus, archery.

A somewhat relaxing episode, I liked the part about the eating contest but the most remarkable thing was the second part of the episode.

We got to know a little more about Shui; and in fact I find that very interesting, it seems that she was also an abandoned child in the first level.

On the other hand; I would like a little more world-building, now I'm very interested to see how the level and dungeon thing works.

That seems dangerous having people consume soda in an eating contest as if massive amounts of food isnt an issue in itself you have gas bubbles trapped among it that could make it expand in the stomach

I feel like Boxxo is stupid for still not figuring out he can say more things as a jukebox through music and hasnt tried yet. Although difficult to pick the right songs and he probably is limited on what songs he plays.

I'm so surprised how fun this serie is. I look forward to every episode.

Nice backstory of shui. No wonder she loves eating when you are used to have nothing but scrams.

Just wondering but wasn't boxxo limited to certain amount of transformations? Cause he transformed a lot this episode.
Fun to see his new transformations however. And how he communicated with music. He can talk way more that way so wonder if we will see it more often.

And looked up if the hot spring vending machine exists and it really does lol might want to try one once im in Japan again

@Gyarutsundere His limit is 2 hours per day, not the amount of transformations, so it's all good. Maybe there's a limit for the amount too, but he hasn't discovered it yet.

Woah, a food contest? The Chains Restaurant is not giving up their farce, and the Restaurant Union wants to take this a step further.

As to why Boxxo is there, it's because of the Band of Gluttons and Shui for their big stomachs, and for now, selling cola would help ramp up revenue needed for the contest. The bears lived up to their name and while Gocbuy cleared the first block, the second block has Shui and Lammis, though they easily clear the heats. Hah, that twist where the program started and ended altogether, that's a very good twist I was not expecting. Boxxo turning into a jukebox to provide BGM to add to the tensity, Shui makes this look so easy and easily beat the Band of Gluttons. The first prize was good indeed...using Boxxo for a day, the privilege.

A date to the Origin first stratum, it's a place the Shui frequents a lot, and turns out that place holds a makeshift orphanage for orphaned kids, it's a really nice gesture for once. Boxxo transforming into different types of vending machines, and the new one is an onsen generating machine that provides hot water. Everyone has to make it through the Origin stratum, thohough the abandoned are left back in the cave that will see no sun, that's bad. Some hunters came around looking for free stuff, and the orphanage caretaker director is so scary she goes to take care of them, then back with a strong conviction.

Well, with such a director, Shui is in good hands to take over the orphanage one day.

Really nice and wholesome episode. Its a shame theres only two episodes left of this cause its one of the most unique isekai that have come out. Hopefully it gets a season 2 since quite a lot of series these days are getting them.

Although this anime was a weird but surprisingly entertaining isekai series up to this point, this was probably the most wholesome episode with that 2nd part, and it's nice to see some background with Shui and of the different strata. I almost felt heartbroken about those kids, but thankfully Hakkon was able to bring some smiles to them, and even one to me as well. And that caretaker though, she is not a force to be dealt with—considering she's a better archer than Director Bear—so how she was able to make the bandits "listen to reason" was pretty badass.

And for any one who is wondering, Sora News 24 did uncover an onsen vending machine, so it just goes to show the Japanese are insanely obsessed with vending machines.

Solid episode but docking points for him turning into a Jukebox. I am also happy to see more of him be clever than do what you typically expect in an Iseaki.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

It makes sense these hunters are such big eaters. That supernatural strength has to be replenished from somewhere! Shui is such a sweetheart bringing Boxxo to that orphanage, It's also a bit of tragic worldbuilding with how those kids ended up there.

Honestly, I was just expecting a punchline where Shui goes wild with ordering food or something, but taking Hakkon to the kids like that was really wholesome. I also like the little dialogue with Hakkon and Lammis where he wonders if he's just teaching the kids to take handouts but she tells him that he's made the kids smile, so pretty much don't worry about it.
A nice episode!
