Will's plan sounds fundamental this epsiode. However, what excited him more is the chance to visit his hometown again.

It's great that Augustus is still around this season. I feel like he and Will always had a special relationship in this series ever since appearing on-screen together. Just glad they met again this season.

Holy damn Will finally told them about his past lmao
So good to see Gus again. All of his lines are gold.
And I loved that ending lol. No romance here so far.

Aw man Will and Gus's reunion made me tear up a bit.

With determination to confront the dragon, Will and the gang depart from Torch Port and head towards the Rust Mountains. Will plans to ascend a tributary of the river to infiltrate the mountains from the rear, aiming to outmaneuver the demons. Along the way, Will, who hails from the city of the dead, decides to make a stop in his hometown. His heart pounds with anticipation as he is about to reunite with Gus, separated for two long years.

The humorous banter between Gus and Will is delightful. Gus's proposal to lure the dragon adds a classic DnD Bard touch, albeit without the usual romantic twist (or maybe there's a hint of romance?). It's amusing how Gus's thoughts have been what we've thinking all this time. In any other Isekai, he'd probably have a harem of girls by now. I'm glad Gus remains unchanged, lol. I burst out laughing when he listed all the cliches, only to realize they were all male. Initially, I thought Anna would be Will's love interest, but the Castlevania vibe they're giving isn't a bad twist at all.

Gus remains the same and that makes me happy.

The world building is just amazing, isn't it?

I don't think Gus will have any problem if Will introduce Meneldor as his lover.

So nice to see Gus back. The nostalgia for season 1 was strong in this episode. Seeing everyone getting their weapons together for the hunt was cool as well. I’m really excited for what’s coming next.

W Gus for being based. It is kinda sad that a hero can't even land a gal. It goes to show even with status women don't know a value of a man.

Behold of my awesomeness~

Glad he isn't the type of protagonist to keep his origin story secret for 5 seasons! Gus is still great and everyone realizes the significance of where they are. (Possibly, because they're on their own journey that could end similarly for them.)

I've been thinking the show plans to place Menel as the romantic lead but never see it through.(His hair and style of dress reminds me of an old-timey brothel worker.) With all Gus's questioning, I wonder if they'll do that, have MC with a girl down the line, or just keep everything platonic and carry out a heroic adventure without introducing romance.

Its good to see Gus again, and he wasn't stingy on that equipment upgrade. I liked how Gus reinforced that the undead god actually allowed Gus to live on to take care of Will and also pass on the other two heros properly. Added a lot of credence to what he said in earlier ep. Question is now, will what he say be true and best Paladin going to die if he fights!

"So, ou are the "bandit girl"" (c) Gus is perfect.

But we all no Will is Gracefeel-sexual.

On the other hand it was calm but pretty eventful episode. Let's see where it will go.

I almost forget that they visited old Gus on the way to the dragon. However, the anime established Stagnate as a goddess far earlier than the manga did, and Will was surprised about it too.

Nice to see Gus again after all that time.
And I share his frustration - the only person closest to a beautiful girl that Wil can ever meet is in fact a dude (Meneldor) or a goddess he is simping on (Gracefeel).

Heck even the best girl in his land did not even make a connection with him.

With the dawn of a new day, everyone preps for the armed assault to the Rust Mountains, which to Will, travelling to the lakeside city is like a homecoming to his guardians, the Three Heroes. Blood and Mary might not have been alive now, but only his grandfather Gus is, which gives Will quite a scare. And the first thing he's concerned of is money, and also, his relationship, which Gus is rather amused that he made friends with guys instead of girls, the typical wizard lols. Ghelheis also got his moment with Gus being the one saved by him, which bears all the nostalgia. To Will, it's home sweet home for him, though Gus easily mistook Menel for the bandit girl (due to his hairstyle).

Will asking Gus about Valacirca, it's valuable intel worth remembering, though to Gus, money and women are all he cares about. An armoury that Gus has kept hidden from Will from warriors defeating the High King, all these will come in handy, though each and everything has its own story imbued of valiant courage.

Slow burn, but getting there.

I feel Guys. I wish Will would find a girl, start a family and have a child. But so far he met only guys and his friendship with Bell is just to precious to go any further.

I feel you Gus, if this goes on you and us viewers are going to die before seeing Will with a grandchild. Though when they talked about taking the borrowed money back, I do feel author was hinting at a potential romance partner. It will be a really long wait...

@Rasco No it doesn't. This is a fictional story, and the only reason Will doesn't have a wife is because the author decided not to give him one, and there are plenty of stories where the hero MC ends up with a harem of girls.
