This would of been a nearly perfect birthday for Blade if it wasn't for all the monsters and chaos that just happened.

On the other hand, he should be very glad he has so many friends that care about him. Happy Birthday to Blade.

Aw, Blade has such supportive friends.

Since childhood, Blade has been a valiant hero, yet he's never marked his birthday. This time, Ernest and the gang endeavor to rustle up his cherished dish, cutlet curry, for a long-awaited celebration. However, the sly maneuvers of the king lead them into a perilous encounter with monstrous creatures within the royal larder. Now, they must embark on a quest to obtain the necessary ingredients. The oddly grown flora and fauna baffle Ernest and his companions.

Yes Ernest is your typical tsundere, and I'm here for it of course, but this episode just shows she's really supportive of Blade and how willing she is to do something for him like make a special curry. Episode was miles better than the last, though it's not hard to top whatever happened last episode.. Though it was ruined by the monsters a little bit, Blade still had a Happy Birthday.

Just an all a round joyous episode.

“Someone a long time ago told me boys should never cry” “for the first time I feel like I’ve truly been born into this world”

Aww ngl I wasn’t expecting that type of beautiful and emotional ending to the episode from this show. Goosebumps. They’ve had a few moments that were supposed to be emotional like the Maria stuff, but it never landed quite like this episode making this the best this show’s had.

Knowing everyone went thru all that to get the ingredients for a meal just for blade to celebrate his birthday was really beautiful. Shoutout to Ernst for coordinating and pulling it all off. Feel like she should’ve been the one over Maou to get the kiss today for all her hard work lol. All she got was a little touch in the bath before getting cockblocked :/

Little bit of fanservice, silly action like fighting literal corn and an emotional ending. An all around solid episode.

Being able to have those feelings is the best way to know you're alive.

Dam, the ending scene got me in the feels. Almost had me cry, too. Though I'm happy for Blade, he got a power up and a birthday meal from all his friends.

Well, these ingredients were slightly more difficult to obtain than the ones at your local supermaket.
Very amusing episode, with a cute ending.

Did anyone notice how after slicing the Behemoth in half, the tree and clouds also got shaved off? That was a fun detail haha. Pretty good episode, I am happy for Blade :)

How awesome is Ashita no Joe to be referred in so many titles? XD

Are there other references in the episode?

Also, I'm baffled. The closure scene was actually pretty good.

And now I know why there are so many Sophies in the opening.
Give me the spolier: does this end with a Sophies harem within the series harem? Misaka sisters? Fusion?

It took me a minute to realize why everyone except Blade was motivated to be put in that survival area but of course it was for the group to gather fancy (or is it royal?) ingredients for Blade's birthday curry meal! The scene with Earnest and Blade in the hot springs... Earnest was going to make a move until her friends stepped in lol.

At the end there, I thought it was actually a little touching how Blade reacted considering he never had a birthday celebration and that he also realized that everyone worked hard just for his birthday meal. On a side note, did anyone else notice how that living cabbage looked?

Was getting strong Monster Hunter vibes due to the very specific armor designs, the cooking, the village, and quests, and then it went crazy. Monster Hunter World did a crossover with Final Fantasy 14 in the past where you fight a giant Behemoth is a raid style fight. Hard to not relate it to that very specific crossover.

This anime varies so hard between “absolute garbage” and “I actually really fucking like these characters”.

@Alfredo-Sauce Claire was the only one who stepped in. If she never intervened then Earnest probably would've been Blade's 1st kiss and not Maou.

It was so sweet of everyone to do that for Blade!! He spent his whole life training and fighting to become to Great Hero, he never had a chance at a normal life, so when his new friends celebrated his birthday with him it made him realize how worth while living can be.

When Mao kiss Blade, that was technically his first one right? Earnest really missed her shot😂.

@gio_lingad

That's right, it was pesky Claire while the other girl looked on. And speaking of that kiss that happened later on, wow it sure was wet and as expected Earnest had something to say lol.

EP 10


So they had to cut into the ed a bit. But otherwise uhm. It was at the end, but I guess this is as much character development/backstory that blade will have

This ep itself was a bit all over the place.
Its too bad claire interrupted anna, le shrug.

Next episode preview though, it says part 1, so a two parter? Every episode has more or less been a comedy, and aside from cu dragging over one ep. Dunno how serious it will be.

The episode wasnt great through many parts but that was a pretty good way to end it. Blade has so much support from everyone.

@Alfredo-Sauce The other girl with Claire was Yessica.

I just hope chapter 15 gets adapted.

they cut off or changed key interactions between blade and Arnest which is kinda upsetting, but props to the animators for not using cgi for the big monsters and for a "low tier" show like this the animation is really good

A birthday for Blade? How would he understand that concept, other than some curry through cooking in the Royal Pantry, yeah.

A no-frills hold of amazing ingredients and a tribe-like living survival lifestyle, it's back to old civilization. Yeah, Blade may be dense, but Earnest joining him in the baths is normal at this point, though she really wanted to get close to him, but got blocked, oh well. Indeed, the Royal Pantry has no short of monster-type ingredients like the Emperor Cabbage and the Boxing Corn, and Sunflowers that shoot beams. Anything goes for good food, that's the clause.

The real deal with the bememoth Beast King, which comes with hazards and audacity, killing the old king is just cannon fodder at best. And with no time at all, the Beast King is defeated at the hands of Blade and Yessica. The reward for all that: Blade's birthday and serving him curry tonkatsu, it might just be the cherished birthday he's ever had.

Slow paced, yet enjoyable at the same time.
