Naofumi's collection of adorable beasts is growing lol Now he has a new ride that takes flight instead of pulling carriage or running real fast without the carriage lol And I think Ren's rehab's doing great, but what the heck happened to the Spear Hero? He became MIA after they defeated Ren a few episodes back.

I almost thought the Gaelion will become another loli-harem member like Filo, but he's actually really a boy.

Welp Atla foreshadowing how her being a shield for Naofumi will turn out soon.

He is alive! At least the guilt from the ken yuusha is gone now, I say he’s redeemed himself pretty well up until this point!

Y'all know who could have been a great fucking help?
Motoyasu.
Just tell Motoyasu that Filo was about to die because she got eaten by a dragon and he would have soloed that damn lizard, like, instant max lvl curse series spear and shit, and that wouldn't be a problem because once he had rescued Filo he would have easily overcome the curse.
I mean, he is already a "good person", protecting the village from the outsiders... Why can the Sword Hero team up with them to fight the dragon, but not the Spear Hero???
REDEMPTION FOR MOTOYASU
Just saying.

The animation at the end of the fight and episode was amazing tho, near the animation level of the opening, lame that they just can't make the entire show look like that.

BTW STOP BEING SO MEAN TO FILO, I FEEL BAD FOR HER, THIS IS THE 2ND TIME SHE IS USED AS "THE PRINCESS WHO NEEDS RESCUE" FOR THE PLOT, AND OUT OF NOWHERE SHE IS GETTING REPLACED OVER AND OVER AGAIN BY ALL OF THE NEW CHARACTERS AND THAT'S SO UNFAIR, EVEN FKNG RAPH-CHAN CAN FIGHT NOW, WTF.
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

Why is this show good now?! I stuck around through 3 terrible cours for this, and it was worth it.

Thought Atra and the Dragon were going to get into a beam struggle for a second.

I was feeling sad about the dragon but i guess he got channeled into the baby dragon so it's all good? one minute he's trying to kill everyone and next he's all friendly? confusing.

Sheesh Alta had some secret power. Everyone had pretty nice teamwork too, it was a good battle. It's kinda cliché for it to end riding into the horizon though, but it's ok lmao.

That wasn't bad at all. Also, look Naofumi stuck up for Ren. I loved the animation episode but do feel Alta's power was a bit of an ass pull.

Oh wow I'm surprised how strong Atla is actually, to think that she was once an almost dead powerless mummy before. I like seeing her growth :)

Also how did that dragon raised baby Wyndia? As if raising a baby normally isn't difficult enough and the dragon somehow did it

Well...that was probably the 1st "feel-good" episode I felt in this season (me personally)....everything else so far felt like a "there's action just for the sake of moving the plot along" but this arc actually left me with some good feels.

I'm still annoyed that Motoyasu is MIA with no explanation though. I mean, like someone else earlier mentioned, I'm sure he could've solo-ed this whole debacle the moment he heard his beloved Filo was in danger but I guess they wanted to wrap up the whole thing with Ren.

Still they could've at least mentioned where Motoyasu has gone instead of ignoring his existence these past few eps... :\

By the way...I think I need someone to help explain to me what's this "curse" that Naofumi keeps mentioning getting absorbed. He mentions in this ep that Filo's is gone because the demon dragon was absorbing/moving her levels around and I think an earlier ep mentioned Raftalia's dissappeared too....Is this related to coming back from the other world in the previous season?
It didn't seem important at the time (just seemed like some weird universal debuff cuz he crossed worlds)....but the fact the story has mentioned it "disappearing" twice makes it sound like it's more important than I thought and makes it sound like the plot is going to continue to show how the "curse" from whomever else has it dissapates first before any major plot continues...

Nevermind....I forced myself to rewatch the 1st ep. He kind of explains it vaguely....but my hunch that the next arc is going to be how he gets the "curse" removed from himself ---since it looks like he's the only other one that got hit with it--- or he's gonna continue debuffed as is and get "shielded" (lol) with plot armor.

Cringed through most of it. Everything felt shallow and forced, and some things just didn't make sense. It's like the characters were following a script that they didn't enjoy.

It was mid.
The story felt rushed and there were some gaps in the logic
The animation was good though.
The best so Far.
I just wish the story wasn't so bare and lacking.
The story probably goes deeper than this, and is likely more captivating in the source material, but I couldn't relate or sympathise with any of the characters. There haven't been as many opportunities to bond with the many new characters like with the original trio. Their introductions were sudden and brief, and the situation they were in felt more lighthearted than it should have been. Other than the animation, the end was anticlimactic, and their reactions to things that happened are unrealistic.

Just my own grievances, but Naofumi didn't show enough concern with his allies being hurt. Even with the kind of person he is, ignoring his new comrades, Filo, who's basically his daughter was having her life literally drained from her body, and Naofumi didn't seem that bothered. After she was freed, he didn't show any sign of relief or joy at the fact. The level of emotion he displayed was almost like he had just finished a bothersome side quest and was satisfied with the rewards. The Naofumi in season 1, when Filo was eaten by the same dragon, was filled with rage and lost himself in it. This guy was not the same shield hero.

They've also severely needed that tiger dude after hyping him up so much in the beginning. His sister's also basically the MC now. She says she's the shield hero's shield, and it only makes sense with her near MC-level plot armor and the ability to come up with new techniques that we haven't seen before. She could barely walk before, but now she has enough "potential" to take down (or at least deal a heavy blow to) a dragon emperor.

I know there are time and other constraints, and I know all my expectations can't fit into one episode, but that's just the way I feel after watching this episode.

This episode was insane, probably the best animated episode we've seen in the entire anime. Amazing fight which was beautifully animated. Such a cool episode that got me so hyped. This season really has been so good so far and it's great to see that it hasn't fallen off and that the first half of season 2 saw was just a one time bad decision. This anime is heading back into an amazing direction and has gone back to the top of my list of favorite anime of all time. So exited for the future of this anime and the last few episodes of the season

great episode, although one thing I was bit confused was why Wyndia had a emotional goodbye with her father, despite her confirming it is not her father but the emperor dragon.
And on top of that didn't her father techincally died like two times before? One being slayed by the sword hero and the other as Zombie dragon.

It felt a little bit forced if you ask me.

Only got to see the wrath shield for ~5 seconds that's so disappointing.

The animation this ep was really good.

Idk which yugioh card I'm thinking of exactly but the dragon just kept reminding me of one.

So we finally conclude the whole dragon ordeal.

Amid the dire situation, Atla took the initiative to launch an attack on the Emperor Dragon. Although the assault reached the dragon, it led to the partial destruction of the cave. Naofumi's party regathers and devises another strategy to confront the Emperor Dragon. As their plan takes shape, Wyndia reveals her profound connection to the dragon. After sustaining some damage, baby Gaelion emerges from the dragon's body, accompanied by the unconscious Filo. It becomes evident that Wyndia's father is the one controlling baby Gaelion's body, communicating telepathically with Naofumi.

Atla's impact on the dragon doesn't quite add up, considering the limited portrayal of her abilities. Her skills were scarcely showcased, and it's doubtful she has even undergone class advancement, placing her at a level below 40. I'm glad that the dragon ordeal has concluded. Honestly, I wasn't a fan of it. The conflicts that center around undermining Naofumi's role as a shield or directly manipulating the system seem overly contrived and forced at this stage.

I've been wondering for quite some time now... where is that guy from the initial KV? We only have three episodes left, and he was the first element revealed of the season.
@IzanaSolos From what I see, the guy from that KV is the staff hero or the ex king, maybe they will tell his story in the next episodes.

Next episode is about Itsuki and the coliseum fights.
The Staff Hero is the one on the poster, but he doesn't play a part in the story until season 5.
Basically the studio screwed up(again) and the first key visual they made for season 3 is in fact for season 5...

One of the best episodes this season. Good CGI with the Dragon, very good animations and giving the new character a backstory. Nicely done!
@GensoTV good animations, really? I havr an impression the quality of the anime went down from the 1st season. In this episode, in the first half, I only saw static pictures (just with lips sligly moving) and voice over.
I remember how good the 1st season was, super disappointed with this one so far.

Still not sure what was the point of this arc, maybe we'd get it going forward but at least the episode was colorful. Might be the best animated episode of this whole series.

Also wasn't that girl with her eyes closed kind of couldn't even walk some episodes ago, and now see what she's doing lol.
