Now that I can say it, the ED is okay. It shows us Dia being alone with herself as she does the things that he promised to our boy. I hope they see each other soon

...that battle with his father is pretty lit. He has really proven himself, and now I respect. Also a pretty cool montage of our father and son killing people...moving on. That Ronah is a bitch, but a bitch that knows when to bitch out, our boy really has an easy time manipulating people to his ways.

And with that, the end of Lugh for now, he'll be a Balor for a couple of episodes. The finish to my mini binge of Ansatsu Kizoku, and so far I'm really liking it.

Lmao that Samurai was a failure too, now i wonder why the Goddess so insist to kill the Hero?

This Series is a prove that Redo of Healer author can actually write something good without being Horny all the time. Lmao

OK episode, although more screen time for the girls would have been nice.

I don't see why Lugh would need a knight, but maybe he has a plan?


Having allies is always good. Having someone like a knight could end up being very important. If the hero cant be assassinated and it turns into a straight up face to face fight having a knight or someone similar to take the role of the main target gives long range fighters and assassins the opportunitys to win they otherwise wouldn't be able to pull off.

He actually wrote around a dozen isekais and high fantasies. While they are almost all harems, none is giga degeneracy, aside from Redo. In fact, this one is his second most edgier work.

Rest are very lighthearted funny plots.

According to interviews, ansatsu is the author's best work.

I came in blind to this show with low expectations based on the art style thinking it will be yet another harem-y generic isekai show... but pleasantly surprised how good it is! I can barely watch Mushoku Tensei or Saihate no Paladin at the moment without feeling bored. Yet with this show, I'm glued to the story, the depth and world building. Animation is also fantastic. It's all just on another level. Loved the fight scene against his father. Probably will win my anime of the season at this rate.

This action with the Ronah guy was stupid so stupid, I thought for a moment that maybe Lugh father payed him to do this, so that his son would look good in the party... but no, just your standard isekai trash plot ending with mc making servant in less than few minutes after breaking the arm of a guy that was supposed to hate him for some bullshit reason. I'm really getting sick of those Mary Sue self insert stories, where only reason villains exist, is to be defeated by mc and make everyone around like him even more. Same thing as the slime anime, only slime had at least a bit of originality.

The best samurai in the world also turned to be a failure lol The serial numbers of the various best-in-somethings seem way too high. Apart from assassin, soldier and samurai is it really possible that a freaking 300+ other professions exist that specialize in killing? And where did the super obnoxious goddess pick that samurai from, can she pull souls from the Edo era as well? What's next, the best Viking or Crusader in the world?

The fight of Lugh with his father was quite extreme; I thought they were literally trying to kill each other. Healing mana helps with injuries but not with a mortal stabbing in the forehead, the back of the neck or the heart, so there was a chance one of them could die. I wonder if Lugh's deceased brother passed during a job, during intense training such as that or during his final test.

It appears that during the next 2 years training as a merchant Lugh will meet Maha, the last girl of his little assassin harem.

Funny how the two people the goddess sent where failures.

Lugh pass his test. Father and son fight where intense but I feel that the MC will won. His past experiences really help along the way.

Ronah changed quick from disliking Lugh to agreeing to become his subordinate after getting his arm broken. Got to say after all the training its cool to see Lugh's assassin skills in action now.

As expected he passed the 2nd to the last test with literally flying colors. So we're going undercover for the next 2 years, this should be interesting as well.

Why do I have the feeling the Goddess is only doing this reincarnation thing out of boredom and not actually expecting anyone to beat the hero? 40 years ago, 35 years ago. Assuming she all gave them the condition to wait until after the hero beat the demon king anyway.

Finally an action time. To much conversation on action but not bad. Lugh take down his own father that means he is the stronger assasin in his circle. Damn good story progress. I see Lugh like a villain who turn on hero side, this anime have another point of view as MC.

So the goddess really did summon hundreds of people and from different timeliness too just to kill the hero but seeing Lugh I think he's more than enough.

The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat, Episode 5

My Thoughts:

What’s with the Goddess summoning so many dead people to kill the Hero?

Event Highlights:

Tarte has earned the trust of Lugh and Cian; they will not kill her.

Lugh passes his father's test. He joins his father in his assassination work and commits a series of assassinations. Lugh will become the head of the Tuatha Dé family when the time comes.

Lugh will assume the identity of the merchant Illig Balor and train as a merchant.

Even More Thoughts:

The Goddess wears clothes that are likely meant to put her current summon at ease. It also serves as an opportunity for some fan service.

Lugh's understanding of video game mechanics gives him an edge. While the samurai appears to rely on physical force and swordsmanship, Lugh is synergizing his past-life abilities with the possibilities of the new world.

Designing a pressure cooker in a previous episode and now being thanked for sharing his knowledge of fertilizers shows that Lugh learned a lot in his previous life about things not directly related to being an assassin.

Lugh is doing many good deeds for the people of Tuatha Dé.

Lugh dodged a bullet when Tarte asked whether he was kind to her just to win her heart, like he did with the townspeople—implying that his kindness might have been self-serving. He defused the situation by admitting that he did want to win her heart, but only because he needed her, reframing the situation from self-interest to making Tarte feel valued.

The girl-style dress Esri made Lugh wear in Episode 3 is still in his closet, showing care from the production team.

Lugh was able to reverse-engineer the Fahr Stones, which shows him to be even more overpowered, since he is now capable of reproducing magical objects that fall into his hands.

The Fahr Stones he created are already filled with mana, indicating that Lugh’s mana is so abundant it can fill them just by being near.

Names and Places:

Illig Balor is the second identity of Lugh Tuatha Dé.

Ronah is the guy who challenged Lugh's right to become the head of the Tuatha Dé.

All Relevant Events:

Thirty-five years earlier, a samurai died. He is summoned to the same crystal realm where the Goddess summoned Lugh. The Goddess is wearing a kimono and has a traditional Japanese hairstyle. She says that the summoned man was the world's finest samurai. He is also tasked with killing the Hero.

The samurai does not question the Goddess’s identity and is glad to serve her. He appears not to understand the mechanics of the world, so he charges foolishly against magical opponents.

Lugh is gifted some vegetables for sharing his knowledge of fertilizers with a farmer earlier. Off-screen, Lugh helped a farmer whose cow had a broken leg. Tarte notices that Lugh is becoming increasingly popular among the townspeople. He has received an overwhelming number of gifts. Tarte remarks that this happens every time they visit the market.

Lugh asks Tarte if she would have preferred to be born in Tuatha Dé. She replies that if she had been born there, she would not have become Lugh’s personal servant. Tarte asks Lugh point-blank if he is kind to her just to win her heart. He answers yes, because he needs her.

Lugh learned how to make Fahr Stones by analyzing the one Dia had given him. The Fahr Stones Lugh made are already filled with mana.

Cian asks Lugh to come to the training room. He asks how Tarte is doing. Lugh tells him that she is at the skill level of a branch family. Cian tells him that wasn't the meaning of his question. Lugh explains that she is not a spy, even though meeting her was too convenient. Cian says it's good they don't need to kill Tarte.

Cian tells Lugh he will test him in a duel to see if he's ready to become an assassin. He doesn't have to win, just show he has the abilities. Lugh is stronger and faster than Cian—he has more God-given skill, and on top of that, he has his previous life experience. But still, Cian is winning. In the end, Lugh wins without using magic. Cian tells him that he passed the test. Lugh is going to start helping Cian with his assassinations.

Cian and Lugh commit a series of assassinations, starting with killing a man counting money while two girls, with golden handcuffs, are on the bed.

Cian tells Lugh that he has used fake identities to approach his assassination targets, something Lugh also did in his previous life. Cian explains that being a merchant is a good way to get close to targets, and Lugh will become one. For that, Cian created documentary evidence of Lugh’s new identity as a merchant. When Lugh was born, Illig Balor was also “born”—the fictional son of the owner of the Balor Trading Company in the city of Milteu and a prostitute. It’s all a fabricated story so that Lugh can assume that identity when the time comes. He will assume the identity of Illig Balor and train as a merchant until he is 14.

At a fancy party, Cian informs the other family members that Lugh has passed the test and will become the head of the family. Ronah, who is a bit drunk, objects. He claims that Lugh has no right to become the head of the family and says it should be him after the passing of Ruff. He also reveals that his father doesn't like Lugh either, though Ronah's dad acts submissive to Cian.

Cian proposes a duel between Ronah and Lugh, which Lugh easily wins.

Afterward, Lugh speaks with Ronah. He tells him that he already defeated Cian, so Ronah had no chance against him. Ronah accepts that Lugh is far more powerful. Lugh gifts him a sword and asks him to become one of the Tuatha Dé knights. Ronah gladly accepts.
