| Being provided endless snacks courtesy of your endless worshippers really is nice huh. Those envoys from the kingdom really were a nasty piece of work. Nice to see Mr Black admin again. Seems he's finally learned how to speak natively. At least he's humble this time but its also nice that Kumoko is also aware of the dire straits that the planet is in though. Sniping that envoy though was such a satisfying move. But to think that the enemy were cunning enough to use that the assassination as a pretence for an invasion with their allies. Back in their original world Filmo's really was an excellent teacher. Smart but one that tried hard to connect with her students and understand the culture that they live in as well in that stage of their lives. Student Roster while appropriate for her was also a doubled edge sword as well. Being able to see the lifetimes of someone that you cared for was way too harsh. Overall an interesting ep that while doing well in showcasing how dire the world currently is in via the mass invasion by the allied forces also did well to expand greatly upon Filmo's as a character via her past, doubts and the unfortunate side effect her unique skill caused to her prized bonds with her students. On the horizon looks like there's nothing but war. |

| That is one nasty skill to have. To see the whole student roster and knowing what will happen to them in the future, cause some of them were fated to die. I get where she is coming from, however to go to such lengths to strip them of their freedom and lock them up in a village seems a bit much. Now she gotta hope it hasn't all been for nothing with this war heading their way. I am slightly confused with the events this episode though. First we see that Kumoko killing that pig actually started a war between 2 countries. However, the post credit scene seems to be about the war in the present. It makes me assume they are connected in a way. I just wonder which war they are gonna focus on first. Honestly would love for the two timelines to connect already. There's only 4 episodes left after all. |

| What a good episode, cant wait for next week |

Please try again in your next reincarnation. lol took the words right out of my mouth |
| Feels bad for the sensei... Also, Kumiko... -_- One moment she's considerate about humans, the next she sees hundreds of them as "free food and exp". You're not killing a bunch of soulless npcs there Kumiko... |
| haha kumoko gaining some overlord status's on da fly getting free fruit, now more human food haha. Wonder what that admin is gonna do about her as she is like a wild stallion kek. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Now THIS is a good backstory episode for the human part. Very good info dump on Oka's character. Hopefully this trend will continue and spread among the rest of the human side, especially Hugo, Shun, Sue. Now it dawn on me, every major character of reincarnates had awareness from their past lives when they were babies. If you think about it, that is so extremely freaky. They'd be able to control their emotion better and not cry all the time. Imagine your 5months old baby not crying and instead stare at you and try to gugugaga asking for milk. S C A R Y. |

| It's obviously to be expected but I still find it funny that they straight up show on the student roster that Hugo is going to die in the attack :D |
| They really don’t know how to end episodes, do they? The episodes end abruptly and the cliffhangers after the credits are usually the only parts that give some form of an acceptable ending. It’s really a shame that this did not receive a better adaptation. The story, world, and Kumoko are all very interesting, but this studio cannot seem to do it justice. Granted, they aren’t doing an awful job for the most part, but it is usually subpar with some of the worst anime I have ever seen when it is at its worst. |

Furthermore, after they produced the energy, he wouldn't have a need for them so he wouldn't want there to be safeties. Thus, Death by skill drain. big spoilers. read at your own risk. lol took the words right out of my mouth rofl, they would all shrug it off. lol right? but muh science |
| Okay so Okazaki can't tell her students about the skill, but she was able to tell Potimas. Couldn't she just tell him to explain it to her students? What's stopping him from being able to do that? |
 |
| This episode has everything to be a 10/10, if it ended with Kumoko destroying them all, but i guess we have to wait another week lol On the other hand, i feel bad for Sensei, she kinda did the best, if she would have taken more time, some of the kids could have died by the time the elves would rescue them. And well, what was that ending, the DL had Kumoko(mini edition) on her hand, whaaaaaaaaaaaaat! Dude i love this anime, but i can't believe the number of mysteries that we don't have yet the answer is pretty big, i do hope we still get some big plot revelations in the next episodes. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| With 4 episodes left, I'm hoping that there is a planned season 2 because stuff is heating up, and I feel like there is still so much story to tell. |

AivanK said: On the other hand, i feel bad for Sensei, she kinda did the best, if she would have taken more time, some of the kids could have died by the time the elves would rescue them. Sadly, Oka's cry for help was caused by her shock of seing the first student die. Naofumi Kogure - died during a monster attack to his village You can even see how a name is crossed when Potimas approach Oka.  |
Maruseru93 said: Seems like a lot of work.... well i could even create living beings like a ghidorah or godzilla with this skill and give them a anti magic repel armour around their skin the possebilities with my skill are unlimited. Listen to me and every D&D player, and make about a million Tarrasque. Edit: wording |

| So it should be already obvious with the Post Credit scene of this episode but one of the most interesting thing of this novel that the anime almost totaly cut is that Characters don't pop into existance when the plot need them. Most of the time they're in the background being mentioned or having short appearance before taking the full screen. The novel does this all the time: - Anna, Potimas, Leston, Cylis and Merazophis are all mentioned or introduced in Volume 1 but they don't take a role in the story until Volume 3. - Ronandt, Basgath and the Demon Lord are mentioned in Volume 2 but don't appear until volume 3. - Dustin and Sophia are introduced in volume 3 but they don't take an important role until volume 5. Episode 9  Episode 20  |
| Things got pretty heaten up already from both side of timelines, i assume. Well, seeing the Kumoko part is always more interesting, cause of Kumoko skit, ngl. So, the war between them really caused by Kumoko 'no regrets' action toward that Oht shitty rep, eh? No surprise Kumoko got a more involvement here and there. But, the allied forces kinda be a bigger plot point that connected to the Shun timeline messed up points. I dunno. But, well, the Shun's timeline still looks like a bunch of mess too. So, its hard to be not so confused. There's a missing piece of puzzle for characters motivation why them act to be like that, especially with the demon side, i still don't quite understand, for now. Well, i am hoping the last 4 episodes can make things more clearer, like how the elf teacher motivation already been revealed. I am kinda assume that she doesn't want them to be strong, just to avoided them getting involved to the world mess. Which is kinda be a double edge sword, cause its obvious that its leading them into those kind of another mess. Oh poor being. I like her seeing the Hugo's future death sign, dying in the battle at the elf's forest, but not with Shun. Soon, boy, soon. In my last notice, i really need them to conclude more of Ariel and Sophia pov asap. |

martin12165 said: Abyhape said: I really want to see Kumoko in the present time and have her meet her former classmate. This is literally what I live for. Everything before it is cool but that one moment is what keeps bringing me back each week. The feeling of disappearing and then coming back with incredible power sends shivers down my spine. I focken love overpowered characters. yeah, and we've been teased a while back, especially when the vestiges talk to Shun and his party in the labyrinth. |
| Still don't know who is good and who is evil. The Demons seem to have a reason for what they are doing bur don't seem to fully hate Shun. However Ariel is out to kill all the Elves. Even they are shady AF. Even Sensei is kinda Garbage even if her attempts are somewhat noble. All I know is Kumoko only does what she wants and that's fine by me. Wonder if we will get a season 2 after these last 4 episodes. |

| Wait, now that we've seen taboo's prophecy again... the Goddess is the woman of the skills that Shun saw in his dream a few episodes ago? Huh... Also... what?! The butler is a vampire and is part of the Demon Lord's army in the present. Seeing the war that happened in the past, maybe he's the only one Sophia could save? The funny thing is that reading some comments, we had already seen him as part of the DL army before haha. Finally Oka's backstory and I must say I feel bad for her. A skill that lets you know how your students are going to die and not being able to do anything to prevent it, not even share the information with them? She had no choice but to ask for help but she also had no power over the methods by which they ensured their well-being. And of course, I don't think Potimas did it out of pure kindness. Poor Kumoko, from trying to protect a little girl to provoking a war. The guy deserved it though and that's what I like about Kumoko. As we've already seen in the present, it's not going to end well so let's see how she handles it. |
| Damn. I wasn't very fond of Filimos/Oka, but I'll admit that she had a tough dilemma. Sadly, I don't think Potimas is trustworthy, nor that Oka can change the students' destiny that way. Maybe it's possible to save them, but I don't think that's the route to take, and perhaps she'll end up just facilitating their doom whilst trying to avoid it. Animation quality was pretty garbage in recent episodes (since the second half of the show started), but I'm glad to see them picking it up again now in ep 20. Hope to see better in the future. |
| so that's why Potimas knows so much! because sensei told him all the truth so that her students won't be put to danger...that perception skill was very top class in which she would know what would happen in the far future! Well Kumoko also has that skill as well...but much more superior in every way... oh man! i wanna see Kumoko slaughter all those incoming army of Ohts! 5/5. |
 |
| do you think they will adapt until the end of vol 5 or a bit of vol 6 too? there's still 4 episodes left after all |
beast_regards said: akihikosama said: Dang, didn't realize sensei's was such a psychopath. The kids are going to die someday so I might as well kidnap them and lock them up in my basement right now. Because as far as we know, elves who kill the students are the ones who are saving them. If her (another overpowered self-insert) skill shows the present day, those children most likely died at childbirth due to high infant mortality in the world with no health care. Abducting them would make things even worse. If her skill shows the future, then it is a self-fulfilling prophecy and she killed them instead, directly or indirectly. I actually rewatched the scene and ... Also, deaths were under the "future" folder, seemingly, and the cause of death was "stripped of skills" in one case, while the teacher is the only person who can strip people of skills. Another death was in the battle of Elf forest which at the time of the teacher reading it didn't happen. It is or looks like, a self-fulfilling prophecy. -The elves didn't kill the reincarnations, they kidnapped most of them successfully. -The elves are shown to be more advanced than the rest of the world, big bulky barrier around their entire territory, advanced information network, dedicated teleporters, extremely rare teleport gates and so on. -Nowhere ever says that the teacher is the only one who can strip skills, that's only your headcannon, stop bringing it to the discussion. |
| the timeline is kinda weird and a bit fucked up !!! |

| Signature removed. It was too good for this cruel world. |
| Fantastic episode! Those diplomats deaths were not a matter of if but only a matter of when lmao. Though I kinda saw the war coming once Kumoko just evil eyed them all to meet their maker. There's wars happening on both timelines damn. Kumoko's conversation with Gilly-gilly was really good, you can see how shy Kumoko is lmao, she's been talking to herself for like a few years probably. I like the transition to the present timeline with the tree aging, it's not the best but it's definitely better than nothing. Feel bad for Oka, her first mistake would be telling all that to Potimas lmao. It might be questionable methods but, she's doing what she can for her students even if they hate her so they can avoid their untimely deaths. Having light novel spoilers as a skill is a curse lmao. All hail our demon lord, that ending smirk was *chef's kiss*. Really looking forward to the next episode. |

saifors said: Really glad that Oka 1 got adapted to give some proper build up, especially after the anime completely ignored Katia's arc and apparently they undid last episodes post credits with Ariel oneshotting Gakia when the battle took much longer, hope that with the next episode being entirely in the future time they'll adapt the happenings before the battle including what the interludes that preceded O1 including the second to last one from volume 4, don't think it will wrap it up entirely (at least they shouldn't) As an anime only watcher (and parts of the manga - which also isn't very comparable), what's "Katia's arc" about (unless it has any spoilers)? :) |
