So money was a motive in this betrayal arc after all. Figured...

Somehow, I find a lot of the characters in this show to be unlikble so far, even Noel. The whole 'betrayal' theme just overshadows everything else in this episode. I assume the tone of this series will be similarly dramatic for a lot of episodes.

That was brutally cunning... a satisfying revenge for sure, but the fate of those at the receiving end was cruel.

I'm starting to like Noel's character, can't wait to see what he cook up next.

NOW WE'RE TALKING! episode 1 of talker was a little underwhelming but that was only a setup to the MOST EDGY GET-BACK OF THE CENTURY!

Noel is finally alone and has to rebuild the clan all on his own. I'm a manga reader so I won't spoil anything but the next events will be something to look forward to!

don't drop it just yet. If you like power-fantasy with a cunning and edgy main protag, then this is exactly for you!

Still can't believe we have an anime about an overpowered "yapper", but I'm not complaining right now this MC seems wicked as all else.
The story seems good so far so I'm still gonna be watching.

The show seems to be trying to portray Noel as cunning and ruthless, but he's coming off as stupid and mean. Selling his teammates after they betray him is fine, but why does he treat the warrior like shit? Why does he disrespect and insult the team of people who helped him catch the traitors and just asked for the money they were owed?

How is needlessly alienating what few allies he has and turning everyone else into enemies for no reason the mark of a smart MC? You can be an asshole and a smart MC...by keeping your asshole nature inside and playing like you're a good person even if you don't trust anyone and are planning on just using them. This MC? he just drives away allies and makes enemies for no reason. The only way he's going to get a new team is by bad writing and plot armor. He's a moron.

Other then the slave trader sounding girly with a bunch of makeup, I like how the MC is brutal at least and it is different from the normal story. I will give this one more to see where the main story is going to go.

Ahah, he is freaking maniac. It was satisfying and brutal revenge, but it's kind of stupid to sell your former party members to slavers. If this information became public, nobody would like to work with him. I wonder what else his grandfather taught him, that he became like that.
Anyway, I kind of like how edgy this show is.

@HOOfan_1 The torturing rapist from Redo of a Healer was smart enough to outwardly pretend not to be an asshole, because he understood that making everyone hate you for no benefit isn't helpful. He manipulated his allies into thinking he was acting to help people, he manipulated the populace into thinking he was saving the princess who he was actually torturing. THAT'S a smart character.

Unlike Noel, who is not smart enough to treat his allies with even fake respect and not smart enough to not deliberately make enemies of everyone around him for no reason. I don't understand how the summary can describe Noel as "silver tongued" when all he does is insult literally everyone.

@amf85 that's a good point too, even if people feel his actions are justified, why would they want to work with him if they think the most faint of slights might set him off?

Maybe there is much more to his backstory than we have seen so far, but I don't see where his attitude so far is warranted either.

Just wanna share a fun fact with you: the slave trader, Finocchio Barzini, that name cracked me up as an italian. You see, the character pretty much the stereotypical LGBTQ, and Finocchio is an italian slur that indicates a male homosexual.

The MC is a bit chuuni, but the story so far is pretty good.

If you notice one of your friends is a hopeless addict, don't loan them money boys and girls.. Neither money, nor friendship is ever coming back.

Well, quoting his own words, "But if I'm a devil... I'l use that notoriety to forge myself into the strongest in the world!". I guess he doesn’t care that much about the incident becoming public. Also, they’re all adventurers, and nothing earns their trust better than money, so that’s not a problem at all.

4/5, I have mixed feelings but overall like Noel. He doesn't seem like a bad guy, more like a chaotic neutral. Those 2 definitely earned punishment and as we saw neither of them had any regret and blamed others for their actions. She might have liked Noel, but she was very much a low-value woman as leader was a low-value man. In this world, [indefinite(?)] slavery is better than 10-years of labor camp. While I don't like the slave trade thing, I do like the trader. I'm disappointed he didn't beat her up too, but I guess female slaves are more likely to lose value from beating than male slaves as that's how the fucked up world is.

@SoulReaper85 agreed
Just like most gross addicts [who often harm others with their addiction], they refused to even get to the first step of recovery: accepting they had a problem.
They both VERY clearly stated they had no regrets and didn't feel they did anything wrong, and would do it again!!!
Definitely more so would serve as a warning.

Wait nah I might’ve misjudged this lmao this shit is fire. Nothing generic about this one at all. I thought they would just let Tanya and Lloyd off with a slap on the wrist or just charge their betrayal to the game, but Noel tracking them down, publicly humiliating them and then selling them off to slavery is CRAZY. What an episode.

I hate goody goody two shoes MC’s with a passion so seeing one be straight savage and get revenge with no hesitation is great. Noel doesn’t care how long you been with him, if you double cross and lie you’re going to pay the consequences. Tanya begging Walter to save her there at the end and then just berating him when he wouldn’t step in.. el o fucking el. You didn’t pay bro any attention before now want him to save you 😂. No sympathy for them, they could’ve got help for their addiction.

Honestly don’t blame Walter for leaving Noel. They had great times together but seeing Noel so easily turn Lloyd and Tanya over to the slavers would’ve made anyone pause lmao. Can’t wait to see the new blue beyond.

Noel was savage in this episode, he definitely lived up the the ruthless name in the episode title.
Lloyd & Tanya got what they deserved.
Sad that Walter left, his heart was broken though, he was a good person who will be missed.
Now to wait and see what kind of party member Noel can get.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

It took a really dark turn in this episode. I am a lot like Noel in this way, anyone who dare to betrayed me I will never forgive, so I can understand where he's coming from.
But if he's 100% brutal then I am probably only around 80 lol
I really liking this anime.

@HOOfan_1 ,I find this highly amusing,since its only 2 episodes in,and so far you have no idea as to world building,what the characters/general populace are like.
Personally,I prefer Noel over the MC from Redo,since Noel is upfront about being a total asshole,whereas hiding your true nature isn't a mark of a SMART character,just the mark of someone who's insecure enough about his true nature that he has to hide it so people won't realise how much of an ass he is.Just my opinion,but I'd prefer Noel any day of the week since whatever he'd say to me,I'd know it was what he truly thought.
And yes,I'm an asshole too :)

@Marinate1016 Totally agree with you on this.TBH,the manga isn't brilliant,but Noel does make it enjoyable,he is a total asshole most of the time,and its a breath of fresh air to have an MC thats so "in your face" with his attitude.

Loving this so far. Lloyd and Tanya took a gamble and it didn't pay off. Walter went "Holy crap, this is too much for me!" And Noel showed what happens when people mess with him. Ainz from Overlord against Clementine is still my favorite 'true gender equality' example. Tanya got off easy so she can sell for a better margin. I know that sounds icky, but its the truth. Can't measure Noel against the dude from Redo as I haven't watched that one.

Yeah i feel pretty similar here. It’s not a drop by any means and makes for an interesting show, but I its ceiling is low because it can only be so good with a protag like this.

Once cornered, their true colors come out, revealing how awful and selfish they are.

Noel actually saved them from sure death in the mines, for a possible life in servitude, they should be grateful, but they only see him as betraying them, when they deserve far worse for what they did to Noel & Walter, in betraying the party and their members.

Noel's dealings with the hired party and the negotiations with the slave trader were well planned out as well.

If Lloyd had not asked for the leader position, and let Noel become the leader, this would not have happened.

Wasn't sure about the first episode but this one was pretty enjoyable. Not a big fan of the voiceover exposition but we'll see if it gets better.

As a big fan of anti-hero protagonists I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes, although to be honest I kind of would have liked to start a little further back in the story: show us some setup of the party and them working together/bonding and then throw the betrayal at us, that way it hits harder.
