Oh my, trouble in the forest with an orc army and Orc Lord. No wonder that Dryad girl needs help.

Got some amusing moments this episode despite the mood. Those lizardmen are also more sophisticated than I had expected. Some of them are actually even more powerful than they appear.

That cliffhanger D:

Great episode again.

The Dryad with the personal request for Rimuru to take down the Orc Lord, we got to know some interesting stuff about the abilities of the Orc Lord.

I laughed so much when Rimuru was talking about Ikemen Souei and how reliable he was. XDD
The meeting between Souei and the chieftain was so awesome, Souei is just too cool. xD

Gabiru's stupidity finally got to his head and he launched a coup against his father and while he does have some skill he has no experience. I'm expecting things to end real badly for him next episode or at least until Rimuru and co arrive.

About the only thing I'm sad they didn't touch on was Rimuru figured that Gabiru was going to perform a coup, and had Souei relay the message for the chieftain to watch his back. That didn't happen. It wouldn't have changed anything because the chief would never have suspected his own son, but still.

Now we're going to be getting into the thick of things.

Man, That episode was chilling to me. I was literally shaking during the parts when Gabiru had formed a coup and attacked the Orcs.

We can expect the tension to build up from here. Man, I can't wait! This anime is a Must!

Interesting episode as always. Given what happened to the ogre's homeland the Dryad's would have stood less of a chance. So the theory about the orc lord turned out to be correct then. Its funny how Treyni made herself at home that quickly though. Hmm so the skill starve essentially makes the orcs cannibals that consume everything in their path to sustain themselves. Gobuta as the true leader huh thats quite the stretch even for Gabiru. Seems Gelmud is trying to fuel Gabiru's ego and ambition.The exchange between Souei and the lizardmen chieftan sure fun. Gabiru's coup sure complicated things for Rimuru though while also putting his forces at a grave disadvantage. Looking forward to seeing how this war plays out after this move.

I'm not a fan of this episode. Or to be exact this development. At first Gabiru looked like comic relief character, but turned out to be just a fool used by bad guys. Hopefully next week Rimuru will fix it.

It's a bit slow for me, this anime is great for sure but I'm guessing that they're maximizing the Source material so that they won't run out of it while the manga catches up with publishing based on the Light novel. if manga publication goes smoothly in its coverage of the LN then by next fall they'll have more than enough source material to make S2

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

The following arc of the Falmas/Farmas Kingdom's invasion of tempest that takes place after this battle is going to be worth looking forward to.

Of course Gabiru would be the one to fuck everything up. He was so easy for Laplace to manipulate.

This episode wasn't the best of the series but it sure was a good set-up for the next one that will truly advance the story and will be crucial for this orc arc. I can wait for next week episode, can i?

I thought that Gabiru was a comic relief character, and here he comes, as incredibly foolish and blowhardy as he is and succeeds in taking power. This kind of stuff only happens in anime...oh...wait a minute now...

I'm interested how people feel about Gabiru after this episode. He's a really interesting character tbh.

He is obviously talented in strategy and has huge confidence but i think he got surrounded by the wrong lizardmen and got influenced by that guy who is a servant of Gelmud who gave him his name. Very naive but i can't really dislike THE GUY for it.

The whole strategy meeting and the coup were cool to see, they really extend everything to make it have an impact.

Although some people here will always be impatient for something else to happen that fits their needs and that is NOT politics.

Gabiru has well and truly done goofed, hasn't he? That clown did well to manipulate Gabiru to go back and forcefully take the throne from his father. Sadly for him, the Chief knows about the orc's starvation power that makes them eat their fallen comrades and power them up. Gabiru doesn't know this and goes in anyway, leaving his crew in big trouble.

Because of this, the whole plan of having Rimuru assisting the Lizardmen will have to be sped up before Gabiru's cock up causes some major casualties.

All in all, this was a really good build-up episode. I'm expecting the next episode, going by it's title, should have plenty of fights from both sides. This should be a treat, animation-wise. =)

Every week I see comments on how slow this series is, or there's too much talking or it's dragging on. Personally, I think the pacing is perfect, the dialogue between characters is highly enjoyable and is great for fleshing out the characters and I've been engrossed the whole time. It makes me wonder what some other people were expecting.

Yes because every show needs to be paced at 4 episodes a volume, and not a more natural and relaxed pace. /s

The pacing is the best part, each episode always feels half the length, and leaves me always wanting more.

Am I the only one here who actually pity Gabiru?

I mean, from the very beginning he has every single lizardman who comes fifty feet radius around him praising and building up his ego. Mainly because he's the only named lizardman out there.

This then makes him both arrogant and pressured to lived up to everyone's expectations. Forcing him to ignore the rational thought in favor of mending his broken ego. (Like how he came to conclusion about Gobta?)

Not only that but thanks to his men yelling him about how he should become the next chieftain, he actually believes that he's better than his father. I remember that in episode 11 he started out still trusting and still thinking that his father is capable. It all thanks to those dimwitted lizards that he starts thinking that his father is too soft and unable to rule anymore.

I mean, we've probably been there before. Having loads of people looking up to you and you having no choice but to maintain your reputation. That kind of pressure can and will at least cut down ones IQ to half.

Yes, I'm defending the most hated Lizard this season. Fight Me

PS: In all honesty this little bit of detail is what make this show extremely amazing. Every character even the jerks no matter how much of a cliche villain they are, still feels human. They're not an asshole for the sake of being an asshole. There's a good logical reason why they're an asshole. (No, tragic villain backstory does not count as a good logical reason. Most of it is just lazy writing). This makes this show about non-human feels much more relatable than most story about humans.

Definitely one of the best I've watched.

That's not really an important thing. They can even still show it next episode as a flashback

Btw, I really can't wait to see the final moment of this arc. The moment between Rimuru and Orc lord.
