| Ryo almost seems like a different person, or at least in his powers. It's impressive really. The Demon Prince was a pushover after going up against that. Ryo vs Sera was not on my bingo card this episode but it was a short fight. Seems Sera is even impressed at how far he's come. |
 |
| Well about time Ryo finally started acting like an MC. Showed up just in time to make quick work of the demon prince, but HE STILL ISNT TELLING ANYONE ABOUT THE AKUMA WTF WHY? This literally makes no sense to me and as we saw with Roman today, could potentially save lives. Luckily Leonore was in a good mood, but that info is crucial for humanity. Plus, there’s a difference between demons and akuma? I’m guessing Akuma are several orders of magnitude stronger than demons as Leonore seemed a little annoyed that Roman’s group would even think she was a demon. And if roman’s group could beat the current demon lord. That’s a big power gap. Leonore also doesn’t seem pure evil because if she really wanted to kill Roman, she could’ve. What’s special about that Crystal tho 🤔 Seems like keeping secrets is a big theme of this show since Clive is omitting Ryo’s participation in this from the records lol Sara screentime again!! I love how happy she gets to see Ryo, as if she’s finally found someone on her level who can understand her. That sparring match was pretty cool. Obviously Ryo held back a bit, but you can see how strong Sara is. I wonder if we’ll meet her student, the margrave’s son soon? Ryo’s “punishment” sounds more like helping the guild out than anyth |

| Disliked the episode. Loved how Ryō could slice the demon prince and his devil lackeys into confetti in seconds, yet somehow lost to the elf blondie. Makes total sense, right? Especially considering he even managed a draw with Leonore, the same Leonore the so-called hero couldn’t beat. Ryō's loss aside, what exactly did the guild master mean when he told Ryō not to defy orders? Like, was he hoping Ryō would just sit back, follow the rules, and let the guild master's precious Abel die, or better yet, let everyone die, just so the orders are abided by? Yeah, great plan. Sure, guild master. |
| she's gorgeous, perky, quirky, fast with the snark, smart, loves curry, great with the wind magic, and can whup his assets with a sword... yep. PUT A RING ON IT! RIGHT NOW BUBBA! get hitched fast! ;9 |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
| Lol, just as I predicted, the fight was just briefly covered and our boy's back to dating the waifu elf... |
 |
| Much improved episode over the last few |
 |
| What a bland battle: I knew Ryou would humiliate, but not to that extent. I guess Leonore was right when she told that group of adventurers and the hero that demons aren't as strong as humans think, and that a well-prepared group could even take down the Demon King. The real question now is: what is Leonore, exactly? Now that everyone knows how strong Ryou is, they're going to take full advantage of his power. And my boy is going to have to leave his elven waifu behind to go on a journey..... |
 |
| Leonor is just cute, humiliated the hero at the same time did not kill anyone, even and friendly advice gives out. |
| I loved the MC's interaction with the Elf, I really loved it, I want to see them both together forever now, oh my god, please get married |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |

@Skuvan I'm not sure that's really a fair analysis. Ryo is a mage first, not a swordsman. Sera seems more like a swordswoman first and just some secondary magic skills. Ryo used no magic of his own as well, while she buffed herself. Finally, he didn't actually lose due to skill, his sword broke. Long story short, doesn't really seem like Ryo was fully serious, and every reason to believe that if they'd been fighting full out and he used water magic he'd have won, possibly won easily.
Also, the guild master doesn't actually know how strong Ryo is until AFTER he chastises him, so he may have legitimately thought he was taking risks. Afterwards, I think the guild master is just taking advantage of Ryo's low-key nature to get him to the other town for some reason, likely relating to his conversation with the old knight scholar, though we don't know exactly. I doubt he actually cares at all about the guard's orders at that point.

| @amf85 Took the words right outta my mouth. Excellent assessment. |
| Good enough Sera screentime. Last episode's cliffhanger is forgiven! |
| Each chapter has worse animation. ☹️ Always like PowerPoint. The manga has much better drawing. |

I mean, I know he wasn’t completely serious. And I get that he didn’t really lose because of skill, but because his sword broke. All I’m saying is, he trained day and night in swordsmanship with the Fairy King, so I don’t know, even if he’s mainly a mage, I just expected him to win, that’s all.Also, the guild master doesn't actually know how strong Ryo is until AFTER he chastises him, so he may have legitimately thought he was taking risks.

I doubt he actually cares at all about the guard's orders at that point. Yeah, I thought so too. It’s just like in romcom anime, where one of the protagonists wants to thank the other, and the thanked person takes advantage of it by asking for a date as “gratitude”, haha. So yeah, I agree with you, I just wanted to mock what he said since it sounded kinda ridiculous, that's all. |
| This week's episode was good but it could have been better. Also I have noticed that only Abel pronounces curry differently even though he makes it seem like that's what it's called here... I don't remember if the others talked/said the word other than Abel if there was then maybe the script was written incorrectly for this Ep Abel: Kari Ryo,Sera, Shop owner: Kare How is it that the odd one is Abel and not Ryo!? |
| sera's like a giddy kid discovering her new fave toy lol |

| It's so sad they pretty much ran out of budget ever since episode 5 and the quality continues to dip as the episode counts go on. Now not only does it lack animation , the art-style is crumbling apart too.. This episode especially, the artstyle is way off compare to ep1~4. If only they can keep the animation quality like in the OP, this series could have been a MASSIVE HIT that would be popular and can have multiple seasons cuz it reminds me about Moshuku Tensei type of world / character building. I rarely bitch about animation of an anime, but ep7/ 8 low quality production really breaks my tolerance limit. It's beyond bad. If Dandaden and Silent Witch share like 20% of animation to this series (since their production is absolutely gorgeous), this series could have been so much more, maybe a long-running isekai series too. (I mean, look at Shield Hero already getting 4 seasons) It's such a waste since this show has my favourite casts among all the shows i watched this season, and OP is so good I re-watched it like 30 times, and still wishing the real show could have been like the OP. |

Ryo wasn't aiming to beat/kill her. She requested a sparring session and he obliged her. He didn't go there to see how strong he is or to find the limits of his power. I’m sure if he had gotten serious the whole arena would’ve been destroyed and Sera would’ve been seriously hurt or killed. This wasn't like the bout with Leonore, who was trying (and failed multiple times) to kill him. This was a friendly match, nothing more. She could see that he was dissatisfied after the short match with the devils and the demon prince, and she gave him a chance to get some of that frustration out. They both had a blast and came out happy in the end. What more could anyone ask for?
| @stealthyone I see where you’re coming from. All I’m saying is, even if it was just a friendly match, Ryō is someone who practiced swordsmanship day and night with the Fairy King, who’s basically a godlike figure in the anime, so it was just a bit unexpected to see him lose like that, that’s all. |
I understand I must expect less from a studio that made that dull reverse harem anime unwatchable, but wtf is this microexpression? Why did they make him smile when he clearly didn't? And no, this isn't an in-between (unlike whoever alleged Nishio for that Kikoru Shinomiya's face on Kaiju No. 8 S1). This is an actual cut that lasted 4–7 seconds. Reserved and resized for anyone attempting to counter me with Boruto's crying face. |
| Finally got some action from Ryo. I hope we get to see more of it with the upcoming job |
 |
| Sera carry job. Except cute strong elf waifu all seems meh.. Ryo way too strong already he should be worshipped than getting punished. He got 0 reward for saving town's hero twice now. But water jet magic looks cool though. |
| I am starting to lose interest in this show more and more. Even Ayumu Murase (MC voice actor) doesn't sound that interested in whatever he is doing. |
| 4 total minutes of action 10 minutes of "Ryo is sooo awesome" and another 7 minutes of filler. This anime had potential, but its another landfill like White Mage. 2.5/5 |
| So the elf girl is stronger than him huh? I guess he's not that OP after all |
