Yasei no Last Boss ga Arawareta! Episode 8 Discussion

Dina says that the "person" she was waiting for "shouldn't keep a lady waiting", Venus (she was named last episode) said the exactly same quote about Jupiter, hence it wouldn't be far-fetched to assume they are the same person, not to talk about how Venus say "I can hold Libra for 20 minutes" and then Dina teleports Libra far away, I just wished it wasn't so obvious.

As for the Goat - Aigokeros is a name I am not sure I will remember -, it is a bit sad how the mixed-wings have to be hypnotised so he can exact revenge on those heroes for "killing" Lufas.

Venus first appeared in the 4th episode. I don't think many people thought she was linked to Dina before she made her proper introduction in episode 7. If they're the same character, there should be several hints in the early episodes.

Yeah, I freaking knew it. Dina & that female demon are the SAME person. Pretty impressive magic, I must say. But the Mind Manipulation is really something else, Luphas should be jumping up in alarm seeing her stats that high, but just kind of blows them off? WTH?

@Sheol01
She's level 300. She's not a threat to Lufas.

@groudonvert I didn't mean that. I mean she is obviously NOT WHAT she claims to be. Luphas said those are some pretty high stats. In other words, not a standard NPC.

Dina and Venus definitely seems like theyre the same person,but also not? Like the moment Dina heard of the white wings plan for war she couldve just not mentioned it to Lufas if she was actually Venus. Not to mention she was acting pretty surprised hearing it.

My thinking is that she(Venus) used mind manipulation to forget about herself and actually make herself believe shes Dina. How she turns back or still carried orders as Dina is still the question tho.

@groudonvert My whole point was that the author made the Dina-Venus connection obvious in this episode, I am not entirely sure what you meant by your comment, I didn't imply it was obvious from the get go.

@curvedtree It was obvious from episode 1 that something was going on with Dina. The ending alone made her seem a bit more than a background NPC, at first I thought she was likely another player or something. But now I'm not so sure it's that simple given the insane amount of suspicious things linked to her.

@MewsicMagic

I wonder if there is any anime with a similar premise to this one where the protagonist/former player actually finds another player in the "game."

Can't decide if Dina is obivously the blonde demon or if the show is making it TOO obvious and it's a fake out.

Most game logic would not allow a low level character to cast spells on a high level character successfully, which SHOULD mean that Dina can't mess with Lufas' memories.

Of course, they mention that the only other being that they know of able to cast Extent is the Goddess. So maybe there's something there...

@amf85
The Elf in episode 1 is revealed in this episode to be able to cast Exgate.
That's with this spell Lufas was summoned in this world.

@groudonvert They mentioned that this episode, but I thought they weren't sure it was the same spell. They weren't even sure it was what Dina was casting until Dina confirmed it, right?

@amf85
Dina mentionned Exgate in episode 6 (I think) when she used her teleportation magic.

Completely agree, feels refreshing to see a robot (as one of the main characters) acting as an actual robot and not as a human with a robot skin.

I have mixed feelings about Dina's identity. She really does seem to be that blonde woman. But at the same time there are some inconsistencies: it doesn't seem like she was waiting for the Jupiter guy, as he had already other contact waiting for him there, that Dina didn't know - the hooded guy that she followed. She also seemed surprised by the civil war plot. Everything else seems to point at her being traitor (?), but all of those are just conjectures that could simply be a bait from author. I mean, it's all too convenient while also somehow nothing being an actual proof.
She is suspicious and I bet there is more to her, but this time I'm leaning more towards it being a bait.

LOL, did Libra just magically put all the Ammos into "between her legs under her skirt"? LOL

.

And now Lufas is getting super SUS vibes on Dina and her "teleportation skill"

Especially with Blond Demon girl saying how she'll distract Libra.

And then Dina comes and suddenly mentions she can teleport Libra as she's not a organic.

Coincidence? hmmm...

SUPER SUS

.

But... if the Blond Demon girl possess the Teleportation skill... why didn't she bother using that skill to kill the weaken heroes to began with? She could literally just teleport bunch of bombs or something into buildings and BOOOM... everyone dead.

Tho... apparently the "Elf" in the beginning also had the teleportation skill, that summoned Lufas... and yet that guy also didn't use it to teleport bombs into the demon's buildings.

So... what's the actual restriction for this?

And it's also even more SUS, considering that Dina said Exgate can't be used on "organics"... yet... it summoned Lufas (which is organic).

@curvedtree
In the land of Leadale.

@curvedtree There are, but to put it simply, they're all pretty mediocre compared to this one. This is one of the first anime with a premise like that which isn't completely terrible. Kenja no Deshi wo Nanoru Kenja AFAIK is the anime that is the most similar to this, it even also has a male MC reincarnate into their female game MC, but it's characters aren't as good as this one and it focuses much more on fan service than this show does.

@MewsicMagic That's sad, considering it is a common trope in this sort of anime, but we don't get to see a good usage of this trope in a good anime of this subgenre

@curvedtree Pretty much, if you just want to watch something somewhat similar to this then Kenja would probably be fine. I just wouldn't recommend going into it with high expectations, or expecting it to be as good as this one.

@MewsicMagic
I only know 2 Isekai who are similar to this series while being very different :
- So I'm a Spider so What? (also has a huge amount of mysteries)
- Demon Princess Magical Chaos (same as above but also has a character similar to Dina).

The second one is not an anime, only a Light Novel written in English.

@groudonvert I haven't seen Demon Princess Magical Chaos, but the similarities between Kenja and this are enough that I'm pretty sure it's about the closest thing to this in terms of premise at least.

I mean, realistically there's probably at least 40 Japanese Novels out there similar to this that just have 0 translations or whatever so they go unnoticed on MAL.

Them evil white wings are so rayciss! Dropped for the lazy and subversive writing.
