| I'm getting a lot of signs that this white haired person has something to do with Kumoko. |
 |
| was worried that the studio would rush things and make the araba fight this episode, so im pleasantly surprised. at least they managed to hype him up here after blowing it in his first appearance |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| Taboo is extremely useful, no wonder the religion doesn't want anyone to have it, as per usual they want to keep everyone in the dark, I still have no clue why the teacher doesn't want anyone to power up at all. |
Tarrian said: I can understand some people's dislike of the human segments, especially as they're focusing on Shun/Schlaine who is the most useless piece of useless trash that has ever been useless. He is there so I can hope he gets brutally murdered by the spider. I am certain it is not going to happen, but one can hope. |
| Signature removed. It was too good for this cruel world. |
Tarrian said: I can understand some people's dislike of the human segments, especially as they're focusing on Shun/Schlaine who is the most useless piece of useless trash that has ever been useless. As a WN reader, the side stories that stole the focus away from our adorable spider protagonist were my least favorite even if there ended up being some characters and developments that were pretty interesting. Fortunately, the anime won't (or at least shouldn't) get into the endgame of the novel series where you'd really get to see just how much a waste of breath Shun is, so be happy! And Taboo... hooboy, whattamess. I wonder how much of the world's history they'll actually end up covering? That story segment is actually pretty long and involved, it could almost be a season all on its own. Thats funny I actually thought the same thing regarding Shun when I first read the Lns, but after re reading them in anticipation for v11 I actually find the human parts to be pretty interesting. As far as world building my guess is they will make it to |

| An episode building up to Kumoko vs Araba. I wonder how Kumoko is going to secure the W. |
 |
| Looks like she is ready to fight Araba the Earth Dragon to gain more power. I wonder if she can do it tho since Araba has insane Stats. |
 |
| I enjoyed the episode. I thought the dragon vs. the cobra fight was pretty cool, seeing new abilities/skills that the monsters around her have. Since the Phoenix Feather can revive someone when holding it, why didn't the Julius' army have more than just one of them? Shouldn't the key figures in the battle have them as a last resort if something goes awry and they need to give out critical information on the enemy? Anyway, I'm kind of curious to know-how Fei looks like after she evolves. I can't wait to see the next episode -- Spider vs. Dragon. Also, I'm confused with the comments talking about the girl in white. |
| This anime is getting better and better with each episode, the weird CGI still gets me, but I don't mind it. |

Also, I'm confused with the comments talking about the girl in white. The Fenix is rumored to be a Legendary (or Mythic depending on the translation) Threat Level monster. To beat a Monster in the Legendary scale you need a country's full army, the Hero and the Saint to only had a slight chance to kill it. Apparently, the country was able to find and beat the Phoneix in the past, which is why they have a feather. I'm still confused as to why there was only one feather with them during the battle. Does the Phoenix only drop one feather or something, or did the country only have one remaining? |
| Kumoko is setting her goal real high. Araba The Earth Dragon will be a powerful foe; however, I'm sure Kumoko will come out victories! |

Tarrian said: Even if they had a whole bird's worth of feathers, the higher ups would most likely consider them far too valuable for anyone but the hero to have one. Companions are a yen a dozen, even a lot of their upper knights could act as one. However, the Hero died in battle, obviously not resurrecting. A new Hero received his perk once the old one dies, presumably immediately, and they know a new Hero was nominated/awoken, etc. since a new hero is King's son. National treasure disappears without a trace. A month after, a supposedly expendable knight appears with the Feather, unharmed. He handles Feather to Shun, a new Hero. As far as the line of inheritance goes, this is perfectly fine, Shun is not only a new Hero, but he is also Siegfried's brother. But why no one else (than Shun) cares why Knight have feather and what happened on the battlefield? |
| Signature removed. It was too good for this cruel world. |
| Good episode overall my only complaint would be but I guess thats pretty petty in the grand scheme |
| Spider girl got stronger but so did the dragon, damn I wouldn't have minded if we had more episode with the spider grinding for levels. every battle is real fun. |
 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. |
| Reaching Taboo lvl 10 was quite surprising, that world is fucked. Atleast Kumoko is determined to change it after seeing what she saw. So glad to see a little of present day Kumoko, even if it was a fast glimpse of her! |

No. |
| The good news: they improved the CGI on the ground dragon. The bad news: it still looks bad. The sound design during the fight between the ground dragon and the snake was really bad. It was so quiet and empty for two giant monsters fighting each other. The Shun stuff was kinda whatever, but I’m interested to see how the dragon will look after he formed a pact with it. |
| Wow the human side animation is really bad in this episode... Even the animations for the talking scene looks bad and cheap. Now I am a bit worried how the anime will look in the second part later, there will be more humans interactions and human fights and if they continue with this quality I am dread to think what we will see later. Why does all the interesting and popular savage light novels have sub par animations? Overlord, Goblin slayer and now Spider |

| That "white girl" who killed (per the survivor's account, he might well be an unreliable narrator or a traitor) the Hero had five little red eyes inside each of her eyes -shown for just a couple of frames- beside being able to use the Rot Attack. So she must be someone who apparently started as a spider/taratect and then evolved into a human looking form. At first I thought she was the girl who had the idiot Hugo Baint turn to the side of the demons but I doubt that's the case. That one (who is also in the Demon Lord's "inner circle" of resurrected students) is listed as "Keren Sophia" here and she's not a spider, she is something else (MAL as usual spoils it). Therefore either the "white girl" is Kumoko and Kumoko is not the Demon Lord or she is an offspring of Kumoko, or they are the same person (i.e. Kumoko can transform both into the Demon World brat form and into the "white girl" form and perhaps to whatever else she wants) or ... both of them are red herrings (anime-only theories galore.. :p) Either way, the "white girl" was almost certainly the "Queen Taratect" which was previously mentioned to have attacked and slaughtered everyone at some other castle, except at that time she had her spider form, which is probably her true form. A great episode overall. I wonder how Kumoko is going to handle the dragon Araba in the next episode. |

| I like how they have split up the anime in two halv one with the humans and one our beloved spider. this was another hilarious episode with many great moment and I can't wait to see if the two halves are gonna get connected at some point. |

swordmaster2551 said: So MA Energy is the big bad huh? Wonder what MA stands for. Since the Hero title passes when the Hero dies, does dying and reviving by Phoenix Feather trigger the title passing? It looks like it might take time for the revival to occur enough for the skill passing to activate? No the pheonix thing is instantaneous, thats why (I cant remember his name off hand) lived and told how Julius died. The hero title passes down when the previous hero dies. Shun was born with the hero title so when Julius died he got it. The whole pheonix feather thing is kind of a red herring its kinda just there in order to keep the one guy alive, unless it makes a comeback in volumes 11-14 |

No he died, but was revived within a short amount of time. Thats what the whole blacked out thing was. Like I said the pheonix feather thing us more or less a plot device, so far as I can tell. It may show up later in the Lns but as of v10 it hasnt. Like I said dont pay it much mind |
| I love how people on this thread seem to be having more fun explaining about Kumoko's past and future selves,and not spending any time at all on how hilarious her interactions are with her "other selves",or "everyme" as she called them :) Honestly,at first I thought that was a typo,then I laughed like an idiot when I realised it wasn't. I love all the Kumoko's :) |

Like I said dont pay it much mind I know he died, I was asking if the revival from the feather was instantaneous or not, first you say instantaneous, now you say a short amount of time lol. Anyways, I said it protected him from the rot attack because by his own words the rot attack reduced things to dust. If it didn't protect him, then there would have been nothing left for the feather to revive. I was kinda hoping it was a fakeout actually, like if this dude actually ran away and came back to find the scarf and the feather. Just made up the story of him using the feather so he didn't seem like a coward. Would actually be interesting instead of welp Julius is dead. Less screen time than Shun, infinitely better Julius. Yeah yeah lol, what I meant was it wasn't a significant amount of time. As far as Julius goes, if your up for reading the Lns v11 comes out next week and is supposedly centered around him. If not yeah thats the end of his story anime wise. |
| Humans laaame as always. Now I just want some new content, lol. |
| bruh |
| Come on, the color scheme, the rot attack, if my ear didn't fail me she is also voiced by Aoi Yuuki and what we see in the OP. She has to be Kumoko. |
Ascentw said: any light novel readers know which point in the LN the anime is atm? Thinking of buying it. Also, would u guys recommend going from the start or the anime is adapting well enough to start in the point this ep leaves in? thanks in advance. Its at v3 near the end right now, I figure the anime will make it to v5 at the rate they're going. Definitely read it from the beginning and your in luck v11 comes out next week, 12 April or there about |

Honestly it has some differences, mostly in pace and how things are presented but it all ends up in the same place. If you wanna skip something I'd recommend skipping the first volume, is the one where you'll lose the least by not reading it compared to just watching the anime. In the end might as well read it all. |
