| In a world with different ideals, it's obvious not everyone will just agree with Souma. Yet he does try to bring some peace and hope for refugees. Souma came as a genuine caring person from this episode though, for the people. |
 |
| Well Souma made a good offer to the refugees, being able to rebuild their life in the new city. Anyway i believe Souma was a bit more of a men in the LN in the ending still lets hope things will light up in the bedroom soon for them. Still it's nice to see that he is thinking of the less fortunate as well. |
| I really dislike how much of a nonchalant asshole souma has become tbh. Yes I get the realist aspect thing but he still feels like a dick. Glad Carla checked him about that. |
 |
| Great episode! Souma worked out a deal to provide those who have lost their country with food and shelter. There was a baby emergency but the mother and the baby both survived. And Liscia suggested they make one tonight to which Souma refused lol. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Whichever world you're in conflict and strife would always create refugee's thats the inevitable result of human ambitions. The meeting with the refugee leaders really presented a lot of harsh realities for us. Yet Souma trying to understand them by using his own experiences showed well his ability to be understand the plight of others. Though Komain's views differ with her bro it reflected well on her loyalty to their homeland. The emergency birth while a close call showed well how dire the situation at the camp was. While the bro heading north to join the war effort and leaving Komain to lead was kind of harsh him taking the hardliners north with him will take a lot of pressure of her while she unites her people. Fuku was a pretty nice name. Liscia trying to start her own family after seeing a baby born was pretty cute but given how long they been together now is too be expected. |

| Refugees condition hmm, it's a very relevant subject, well at least everything ended well, even the difficult childbirth |
 |
| Nice episode. Nice to see them bring back the Port city as well. Liscia trying to have her own baby as well...GET IT GURL!!! |

Someone is in labour and the mother is in danger" The doctors : let's have a lengthy discussion right here first how about you learn how a doctor performs surgery if the doctors didn't talk things out many things during surgery could go wrong. Its very crucial for the medical staff in OT to be on the same page |
 |
| Man this guy is so fucking lame. LMFAO. Also i don't get the whole native american land thing. They didn't want to become citizens because they couldn't go back? Or did i misunderstand? Coudln't they just stay until they beat the demons and go back? they aren't held hostage. Also where are the demons? 2 season in and still nothing about the demons taking over the world.... |
 |
| That Carla outburst felt so out of place. Well what can expect from anime original changes. |
 |
| These last few eps have been kinda slow and almost lacking interest, but at the same time are strangely satisfying to watch. |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| What a timing with this whole refugees episodes, couldn't have been more accurate. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| This episode's focus on refugees, really, with the Russia-Ukraine war right now, it's telling. Souma, Liscia, Hilde and Owen meeting the refugee Settlement of Parnam with head chief siblings Jirukoma and Komain whom their lives and homes have been thwarted by the demons, they can't stay in this state forever with legality threatening to tear them apart if this is not settled. Souma has 2 choices for them: be part of Friedonia, or be expelled to foreign territories that could do more harm than Souma's kingdom. This, to people whom their land has been considered sacred, this almost feels like blatant disrespect. Souma's idea of a kingdom settlement for the people of Parnam has benefits and drawbacks, but it's the people whom will make the final decision to divide their own people. Doctors Hilde and Brad expect the worst from a newborn mother having a transverse birth, and though they aren't prepared for something like this, they will have to do it to save lives and make way for the new generation, which Jirukoma is giving Komain the current plot of land to preserve their home identity while he moves forward with Souma's plan. Of course, Souma better watch out his words in an era where things like that aren't as technically advanced, and Carla shot him down straightaway when he took childbirth lightly. To crown the newborn with a name from a king, I guess this is a special occasion. Liscia is really hinting Souma for one though... |
 |
| two more episodes of talking simulator left. at least this week had some real world relevance. Souma isn't an easy character to.like and constantly comes across as a know it all, most of his speeches are more like lectures. Licia continues to be a terrible character. |
| ok episode. The refugee focus was nice but dedicating a lot of the episode to giving birth was strange. |

| Souma should've told her about organ transplant. If she was that vocal about a small cut on a woman's belly, imagine a heart transplant, if she knows about that she would die lol. |
| bruh |
Unholyhoney said: Marinate1016 said: tf is you talking about.. If anything, souma was a bitch for not holding his ground. He said nothing wrong, where he is from, C-section are common and the mother survives 99% of the time.. Not only that, homeboy knew that wolf chick for like 30 seconds before she asked him to be a godfather and name her kid.. Like wtf? I'm guessing the dad died protecting the family/community yet Carla talking about "how would you like to get cut open even if it's 100% successful." The dad was probably cut open with 0% chance of survival on the battlefield soo. Souma don't even know her name... How is that his responsibility to name a kid? Even worse, Carla fires of a "even a man can do that much, right?" smfhI really dislike how much of a nonchalant asshole souma has become tbh. Yes I get the realist aspect thing but he still feels like a dick. Glad Carla checked him about that. Not reading all that sadly |

As I said, I quoted that scene from the novel so you can see for yourself in the link. There's no Carla outburst at all. In the LN Souma only mentions c-section in a larger point that due to their increasing medical knowledge that it's more safe to give birth now than it used to be in the past, he wasn't making light of pregnancy or w/e the anime wanted to change it into. |

antonn said: You're right, you did already say that there wasn't anything else to that scene. I'm absolutely baffled at the inclusion of this dialogue in the anime, it's such a needlessly sexist scene, and it completely goes against the established tone. Souma acts completely nonchalant about the danger to the mother's life because that is our cue as the viewer that there's no reason to be worried, that everything will be fine. Then, the writers turn around and try to berate him for taking childbirth too lightly? LOLLostSpectre said: Can you tell me more about this? That whole Carla feminist tirade isn't in the LN at all?

| Intriguing how they used american indian as a chief because Souma choices kinda related to 'that'. But ofc Souma offer sounds more realistic and understandable then its not even looks forced because you know its a must regarding the incoming winter, to put an end to the issue asap. To make things more works for the both side and smooth with the decision making, Brad arrived telling those fine people to get out because he's trying to held a C-section surgery after that. Poor Carla had a worst day having to work a multitask job there; guard, messenger, courier, assistant doctor, and, don't forget about maid. So, i can't help but understand she suddenly got an outburst responding Souma words like that, even if its not included in the source. Guess the scriptwriter had a pity toward Carla so that's the result of her 'out of character' xd. But anyway, enough of that, i don't really bringing up a problem over it. So that little fun bits of Souma shying away over Liscia talk about making baby kinda be a good closing through the episode. Two more... |

| Can say even i wasn't too happy when Souma shoved away the seriousness of that surgery, out of place or whatever I guess what Carla did was right. Also seems like he's going to have some busy days from on( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). |
| this show's become incredibly campy lately. i don't like it. i mean did i really just watch "anchor baby: the anime" and has the "realist" ever been a realist? i haven't felt any tension for a while in this show, it was always kind of goofy but it's really jumped the shark, and only on it's second cour.

| For all we know, the demons could be refugees from another land. Kind of a wild idea. I wish real-world refugee problems could be solved as easily as in this anime. |
| Perhaps only me and while I know Souma had the best intentions by naming the kid Fuku, it sounds too similar to a certain english curse word for me to take it seriously lol. |
 |
| I can get why Souma wants them to make a decision, but both the Gran Chaos and him have different ways to deal with people. I honestly don't get why Carla got riled up when Souma said C-Sections have a high percent survivability in his world. Maybe because she saw so much blood? I don't think he's taken light of the operation because I think he knows the operation has a high success rate with the two doctors. If he knows history, there are things much more serious and dangerous operation, like operating on a brain, heart surgery/transplant, operating on conjoined twins and more. |

No, that was just unnecessary aggression. All he did was say there is a high rate of success where he came from. Carla is the only one who got triggered by that trivial fact. He nevere diminished the risks or burdens associated with it. That's just typical female overreacting over a harmless statement. EDIT: Bonus points from other's bringing up the fact the LN didn't even include that nonsense. I agree it seems someone somewhere wanted to stuff some feminist BS into this version of the story. |

No way you’re replying to a year old thread. I do not care |

| Refugees! Oho, he gave a choice of either becoming the citizens of Friedonia or leaving. Then comes the pregnant lady's operation. The talks of making a baby still makes Souma hesitate and Carla blush. |
 |
| We haven't seen so many dwarves I think, by the way?.. They were mentioned here and there, like at start of this episode as well.. But I don't remember seeing many characters of them.. I hope we'll maybe see more with time.. Not like I'm fan of them or something.. I have no idea, which "race" I'm more interested in, or fan of, or something.. |
| Yeah, the Carla outbreak was stupid. I never once thought in my mind that Souma was taking childbirth lightly but rather just speaking facts from his world that the success rate is high to ease worry. |
| Interesting that this show would touch on all the economic evils in a magical society. Magic itself cannot solve all the ills in the human condition, but it does have its uses. |
| The message of Souma when he talked about things with those refugees was quite resounding. Leave this land and go to your homeland or be the citizens of their kingdom... or something like that. It was truly bittersweet. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Re-watching this anime right now and this episode is beyond dumb. The fact that they simplified what a "refugee" is to the most childish level, while randomly having leaders of the camp who are cosplaying as Native American's while everyone else around them wasn't, was just hilarious. Also, do watch the English dub for ultimate lulz. The Native American brother VA trying hardest to do the stereotypical accent while the sister VA sounds like she can't decide whether to sound like a New Yorker or a Native American made it the best thing ever. That stupid dragon outburst was just way too much of a try-hard moment. Already a terrible character made worse in an instant. |
