The continuation of the fight against Dratena Belbury.

Light had to pull out some insane tactics and a new skill to overcome that fight. Just another one of those episodes where the show needed to give Light the chance to prove himself. I mean, yeah, it wasn't just a fight all by himself but he carried most of it. This was also his toughest fight in the show so far.

Dratena design is so good I love her lol. Probably the best episode so far. Finally an actual challenge for Light’s group. Also F’s in the chat for the count of Montes. It literally makes no sense that the people would turn on someone who’s on THEIR side just because he has a “taboo skill” like dude is legit helping y’all. I don’t blame him for taking down the whole area with him.

Light’s new skill came in handy. Looks like the story will finally get going. As we all knew, the sister from the first couple episodes who was upset about Lena leaving the party is going to end up being the big villain.

Dratena's design is really something else love that purple outfit she's got on it's so striking

can't believe Light had to pull out all those tricks to take on Dratena it was intense and nerve-wracking

those dimly lit hallways really add atmosphere to the scenes made it feel super dramatic

RENA'S SWORD BROKE during the episode omg that was unexpected what even happened there

still no clue why they aren't eating those fruit skills more often seems like a no-brainer kind of strategy

yes!, yes!, finally, that Church, especially the Sister, is the real villain of the series. I never trusted her since the first episode. Never ever.

Bug resistance and cat charmer are definitely not useless skills!

Anyway, I think this undead arc is too serious and too dark, I prefer something more lightheart, more healing...

Either written like a shounen targeted at a very young kids demographic... Or just truly fucking horrible writing.

Unfortunate that the premise and the start had something going for it, but afterwards the show got dropped down a fucking 50.000 feet. mountain. To accompany it, a drop from me to send it off properly.

Finally, he was supposed to eat one of those overpowered fruits every day. Man, there's a "hack" in the world, and he doesn't use it. It's rice, beans, and the fruit of the ability.

Ok, 'bug resistance', I'll admit I laughed at that one. Love this show sense of humor.
The MC new skill 'pixie sleep' is a fairly clever/original idea imo, and I find it more interesting than if he had simply acquired a new, more classic, fighting skill.

This episode also does a decent job of explaining why he didn't try to eat more skill fruits before now: this a big gamble, a lot of skills are useless, they can even make his useful ones useless if he's unlucky, and there are nasty side effects every time he eats one. (also let's not forget that these people were raised in a 'religion' telling them time and time again that eating two fruits will lead to their death for sure, not easy to change your way to think in a situation like this and just start gobbling up these fruits like nothing imo)
So, I'll give props to the author for not making this story a boring one where the hero simply has to 'eat fruits' day in and day out to get OP, but instead something a bit more complex and interesting where the hero has to stuggle at least a little bit to reach his objectives and save his skin.

Pretty good episode overall, next week looks like slice of life fun, looking forward to it :)

Him getting Bug Resistance made me laugh pretty good, same with Cat Charmer, I would love if those skills would somehow be relevant way later in the story but it is hoping too much, I'm glad they didn't defeat the dragon but instead just barely managed to escape.

From episode 3 i noticed a huge drop in animation qualities. This episode felt cheap and most scenes where mostly what looked likes a bunch of GIF's meshed together on repeat while the main characters where just standing there talking, while the enemies watched them. That is at least what it looked like for me, i don't know if the fruits adding wasteful skills where supposed to be funny but for me it was just an lame attempt that could have been handled much better. In the end they talked about how they defeated the monster but let's be honest he just put him to sleep, they couldn't even leave a mark on it with their sword master skills so i doubt a falling castle would kill it.

Another episode with the most polite monsters that just stand around while either a long strategy discussion happens or the power up process is happening.

Dragonball wasn't even as bad as this, as at least power ups are by design there and are being allowed to happen by either the heroes or the villains. This is just bad writing.

It's made it past the 3 episode mark, but it's hanging precariously over my dropped list right now lol.

Somewhat OG concept may end up as a drop if the writing doesn't improve a bit. Not that I didn't enjoy it, but would Smaug politely wait for Bilbo to discuss tactics with the dwarves? I think that unlikely, don't you?

What is with this writing that has the MCs emotionally and mentally crippled right in the middle of battle?!

It ruins the entire flow of the fight and makes the MCs look embarrassingly weak and silly.

There is no benefit to it at all and it does not add drama to the scene.

It is one thing for them to discuss the Count's life and his struggles, that provides context to the story, and serves a purpose.

But to have the male MC get so distracted by what could possibly happen to him in the distant future, right in the middle of the fight, endangering himself and the young girl helping him, this makes him look so oblivious for not paying attention to their situation and immaturely self-concerned for something that hasn't even happened to him yet.

And what is with everyone revealing their attacks with loud shouts, or saying something like "I got you now", or informing the enemy of you teams attack "I am not your opponent", you ruin the element of surprise and your opportunity to catch the enemy off guard.

I really wish people would stop writing these types of things for they characters.


Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

@Riptos Wasn't the necromancer controlling all the monsters and their movements? So if she chose to wait to discuss something with her opponent, then the monsters wouldn't attack them. It would on her for not trying to sneak an attack in, without them noticing, while they talked.

I would normally agree with you, but I think this one situation is kind of different.

Edit: Forgot, the evil dragon should have been attacking the entire time.

Let's see:

-The count was turned to dust and then HE WAS STILL THERE to cast a spell. Because the writers forgot how they had rearranged the scene. They forgot that a character was already gone. Good Lord.

-Once again, a zombified good person must give us some comment while dying, to show that there are no hard feelings.

-They didn't notice that the girl was carrying FOUR fruits bigger than apples? How could they possibly miss that? How was she hiding them, even while she was being carried? And why didn't she tell them?

-Why didn't they just attack the witch straight on? Why jump up to a chandelier? With that kind of power, just rush the woman standing right in front of you. The one who controls the zombies. Of which none are standing in between you and her.

-And again, zombies and dragon just standing still while the MCs are talking.

-As expected, eating fruits will be sparsed out over the series for dramatic effect. Instead of doing the logical thing and eat them beforehand. But IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLE? And with all the random powers there are, how could you possibly think you'd find one to help with a dragon?

-Why would the townspeople be "consumed by fear" against the count, after loving him so much? Because he has the power to summon creatures? A count also has the power to have any of them executed - but that didn't make them consumed by fear. Because they knew it didn't mean he'd do it or that his soldiers would go along with it. It was a terribly written excuse for having him live in the mansion.

MC will likely die by eating a lot of those fruits.
MC's immunity is rather useless now.
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.

Imagine living in a fantasy society with high skill-based stratification. And you can only get one skill in your entire life. It's literally an MLP cutie mark, but forced upon you by a shitty mmorpg randomizer!
And during your coming of age ceremony, you get a lifelong skill, like "insect resistance" or "cat charmer"! All your previous achievements, gender, or body type don't matter, it's just random crap...

I would disown The Creator at that point.

@Kai200X Exactly. The count/summoner died, he was turned to dust. Then after that we see him summon the dragon. Then turn to dust again! Because the anime producers forgot which versions of the fight they had saved.

@genesic123 All the more reason to get it over with BEFORE a fight. And the girl's reading of his ability said nothing about crippling him, nor did the church sister when talking about the fruits - it was only about adding abilities. So that's just something they threw in as an ad hoc explanation. While the real explanation is of course to add some drama in a fight scene.

@Marinate1016 Yeah, it's pretty cool!

Ep 3: MC who we've already established is extremely op gets sent on mission that no one has survived.

This series is sorta special to me because it's the first anime from this season that I watched that I enjoyed that has action

oooh, this episode pointed out something important. There are actual stakes. On one hand the MC is like Superman, and nearly unkillable, but unlike Superman there's people he cares about that are helping him at the same time that he needs to protect. Namely his daughter, and his girlfriend

Bonus points for the post credits scene reminding us that the church is evil, and they want to take out the MC.

Ep 4:

So cool seeing MC's daughter ride on his back. I hope she's on there a lot!

"Enough chit-chat, let's continue this dance!"

Interesting, so it's actually risky for the MC to acquire skills, because he could end up with one that interferes with his godlike power.

hehehe, the skill he aquired to fight the drgaon is...bug resistance! Followed by a skill that makes cats love him more, and then a skill that ups the durability of his weapons, but his sword broke! Eating both of these last 2 at the same time doubled the side effects,which weakened him a bit. Finally he got the skill of sleep scales, which summons a pixie to put the dragon to sleep.

Good 2 episodes, glad that I waited for there to be two more for me so I could enjoy both parts.
Don't listen to people when they tell you that the anime that you want to see doesn't exist, and to quit asking, and quit searching. I found my dream anime, and yours could be out there too. Speaking of which, watch Record Of Grancrest War, you're missing out.

I thrive on fantasy anime, and anime with all adult casts!

I'm noticing that every fight in this series is just moving lines and slight movement. Guess they're limited on time/budget.

Also the saint being the villain is pretty funny. I'm curious if she has some sort of genuine motivation or if its just "I'm evil and I want to do evil things"

I will say it is nice to have some sort of explaination as to why he didnt just immediately start eating more skill fruits. Never thought about there being negative ones or ones that counter existing ones. It was also nice to see he didnt immediately get an SSR skill and one tap the dragon.

"it could be used to acquire an infinite number of skills" SO WHY HAVEN'T YOU?!
I know the writing is ass in general and it's basically AI but that's got the be one of the worst parts of all of this. The fact that even with all the terrible writing decisions they didn't even "commit" to this bad idea fully. At least if they had committed and he just ate both crates full of fruits, I'd have respected the fact that at least they went full in on their bad idea despite wasting the opportunity of a well written story. At the very least you could have had a logically consistent overpowered protagonist, and heck you could easily make a villain just as OP considering all you need is poison resistance. LMAO he just cut him in half, he died and had like his final words and then next scene he's just back together. Bruh how much more evidence do we need that this is AI. Like they didn't actually show him fully in half I guess but that was very much implied. My man is also actually brain-dead once again... wait a minute he already broke that sword before does it just regenerate lmao. 12:00 I'm actually going to commit a murder. You brought some fruits... which could be anything btw it could be fucking "you sneeze extra loudly if you want" so not only did you pass up 2 full crates of fruits before, you also only brought a couple this time for the sake of what? it's just a gamble at that point. If you eat a 2 crates full at least you'd be guaranteed a few good ones.
Also this argument of "you could have one that ruins sword god" is silly because not a single skill we've seen has had a negative effect. And even if it is possible the solution is simple just eat more fruits. WDYM side effects, I thought he was supposed to be immune. Also again this kind of confirms what I've been saying, bug resistance, cat charmer, and better durability are all inherently "positive" the chance of abilities cancelling each other out seems really low.
It'd actually have been kind of funny though if he died and this is where it ends because he was just an idiot and only started trying out fruits now, which is way too late and he would just die because he kept getting useless things instead of just eating all those fruits ahead of time. Whatever.

By having Ayla be attached to Light like babysitting a child, Dratena's secret is out of using the Soul Reaper with the help of Count Montes, who unfortunately summoned it and became an undead himself. And that skill was his taboo skill, so sick of life being praised then ostracized by people to escape to the place where he's at now. In a sense, the Fruitmaster himself is also in the same vicarious position, though with some wit, is able to subdue the undead with Lena's help...and Dratena summoning a Wicked Dragon definitely is danger elevated to the max.

A monster so fearsome that not even the Fruitmaster can attempt to counter, and Ayla bringing in skill fruits that range from bug resistance to loving cats and sword defense, none of those certainly help bring it down. That is until the very last one: Sleep Pixie, plus the ingenuity of effectiveness dealing its sleep toxins to the dragon, and barely just escaping altogether in one piece.

Black Swan being threatened by the Fruitmaster having A priori, what is truly the extent of that threat?
