| I really liked that one. I was wondering when they were going to introduce a trap. It's pretty much a must for a game. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Wait so is Tetra a male in REAL life and his avatar is female or the avatar is also male but just girly looking??? |
| All those gold by the entire system. Really enjoyed how Shiroe gave all the land back to Yamato! Silver Sword putting up their banner and seeing the names. It was nice to see that Shiroe got a nice pendant out of it. Demikas enjoying his life too now, the tension between him and Shiroe! Tetra being a male, wonder how Shiroe found out xD Tetra versus Marie! Introduction to some shady people. |
 |
| Tetra being male = not caring. M or F, still would be a fun person to be around if real. Shiroe is op so he just knows. However i must say, an mmo would have so many males playing females and females playing males... Demikas running his ass off, after all that pride stuff before then, was priceless. |

| Oh man, what a great episode. I'm loving season 2 just as much as season 1. The new villains, err, well I shouldn't call them villains yet but I'm supposing that's what they'll become... they look interesting! And it's that fox girl! From the ending of season 1! I was afraid they forgot about her, lol. I want more! The ED always makes me smile. |
 |
| The reveal of Tetra being a guy. Hahaha. That has caught my attention the most compared to the discussion of gold. LOL. Though he might be a guy, the body is still female I guess since they are stuck in the game... just like how Akatsuki was in the first episode with the male ninja body. |

| Woah, Tetra is a guy, totally wasn't expecting that... /s |
| I wonder how William distributed the limited loot to his many guild members. After weeks of battle, I imagine they all want some good prizes. I know when I play WoW, there is always a mini war between our raiders whenever my guild tries to distribute small amounts of awesome gear. Wait, Tetra is a guy? Oh thank god, I thought that she...or he, was going to really get in the way of my MariexNaotsugu romance. If it's just teasing, then that's fine. Akatsuki is was pretty cute at the end there, and that whole scene was heartwarming. I'm a little disappointed that next episode is a Valentines episode. I can't wait to see my favorite pairings in action, but I really want to continue with these new villains we just got introduced to. Either way, can't wait till next week |

I got confused on Shiroe's plan so can someone put it in simple terms for me? :P Looks like the major people next arc were introduced this episode. Why is there a lvl 41 with people in 80-90s? |

The Lvl 41 is a people of the land. |
| Totally knew Tetra was a dude since ... s/he was introduced... and now Im confused, s/he WAS/IS a dude, but is now a girl so which damn pronouns do I use?? |
 |
| Demikas acting so tough previously was running around in fear this time I really liked the conclusion of this raid of Shiroe and Kunie clan Tetrap being a boy wasn't that much of a surprise Episode 2.13 about 2.14 next |
| Finally it's over.. I was kind of getting bored with the amount of talking but i guess it's great that they finished it off :D I can't wait for the moment Naotsugu and everyone finds out Tetra is a boy xD (I was suprised too O_O) |
| Nureha <3 |
 |
| So previous members (Indicus, Kazuhiko, K.R.) of the Debauchery Tea Party are now in Nureha's guild uh? Interesting :)! |
 |
| Demikas's People of the Land wife is great. |
 |
| That had the feelings of a season conclusion, but nope! just an arc end! Got a preview of the possible new villains. one of which seems to be a former tea party member! Valenties day next episode. I have a feeling Shiroe is gonna escape having to make a choice by putting his work first. Which will probably piss off the girls. |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| Leave it to Shiroe to get people to come to a mutual understanding. Loved how he explained his plans and motives to Kinjou and guaranteed equal rights for everyone. His character development has been amazing in these past few episodes. What a guy! Nice seeing William announcing that he'll give the "Moon Blossom Talisman" to Shiroe. Best way to show gratitude to your top comrade. Akatsuki's face when he told Minori that Shiroe will arrive on time.. XD That's her way of saying, "Don't get ahead of yourself, you little bitch." Shiroe is one cruel guy; already knew Tetra is a guy and still kept it a secret from Naotsugu. Ahhhh.. The anticipation to see his reaction is the same as Waka's finally finding out Kashima is a guy. XD Plant Hwyaden gives off that menacing vibe, even though Kazuhiko seems to be acquainted with Shiroe and Tetra. Dat level though! Marie's pouting face once she spotted Tetra holding Naotsugu's hand was pretty cute and funny Akatsuki is also looking good. The way she hid behind her Shukun to hide to shyness. Kawaii! :3 Good episode! Next one seems to be valentine themed. Should be a good opportunity for Akatsuki to get closer to Shiroe. Minori will inevitably her rival but she should be the one to prevail. |
 |
| Great episode, but I have some questions. First, how did Shiroe know about the Plant Hwyaden members? I mean, has he met them before? Did I miss that part?? Second, what exactly did Shiroe do with the money and the contracts? If he made the zones unable to be purchased, then how is he going to make sure they stay safe from his enemies? Finally, Tetra. Is he a boy playing the game with a female avatar, similar to how Akatsuki used to play the game, or is he using a male avatar with a very androgynous/feminine body? Hmm... |
 |
| Well, i expected Shiroe to think big if he can get his hands on enough money. So something like buying the city. But buying every buyable zone - only to return them to the server? I also don't get why they wouldn't be up for sale again? The other side never signed any contract. So they can do whatever they want with it. And when it comes to a dispute who actually owns it, Shiroe certainly can not claim ownership, otherwise the rights transfer would have not be completed. So either the server *does* own it, or in case of being unable to figure it out, they shold return to the original owner. The only way it would make sense is if the original owner is different from Yamato. Otherwise, returning the lands voluntarily would be the same as having to return them due to be unable to maintain the upkeep or any eventual loss of ownership document, whether that is a document of it's own or the sales contract. The new owner does have to be unable to sell them. As no contract was signed, it must be an inherit inability, so the owner has to be different to whoever is selling them in the first place. Even if you say nobody owns the zones initially, the money ends up in that treasure room, not someones pockets, so it would still be Yamato who owns them. Unless one assumes that the money gets destroyed in the case of first buying a zone, which would throw the whole concept of a stable total amount of money that just gets distributed over and over again out of the window. Which leads to the question who the actually richest party - way richer than Yamato, given that almost all zones are still up for grabs - would be. The Kunie? Are people of the land, and the actual mechanics of gold distribution are not their invention. This holds true even more so for any other clan or kingdom etc. The server itself is out of question, as there is no reason why the zones could not be sold again. If you return something to it's original owner and you get your money back, it's like you never owned it, like the sale never took place. No matter how i look at it, the logic doesn't make sense. Just like last episode with the raid bosses.. Shiroe just tihinks something complicated up that miraciously works, when there is no reason at all it should, and even less reason they should think it should work. It's like this: Shiroe wants to water a huge garden (think palace garden) when an armed robber shows up and threatens him. Through quick thinking, Shiroe is able to come up with a contract that forbids the use of cars to traverse oceans. The moment he finished wiriting the contract, the robber no longer holds a weapon in his hand, but a watering can with just enough water to water all plants, which he promptly hands over to Shiroe. Not only does the contract not have anything to do with the problem of either watering flowers, robbing or weapons in general, but the other party doesn't sign it. Even if they had time to sign it (remember, problem solved the moment Shiroe is done writing), they have no reason or intention. And even the weapon would vanish or be replaced, they still have no reason to *give* Shiroe anything. And Shiroe does not only get what he want, he actually creates a new - impossible - item: A watering can with more room on the inside, which otherwise behaves like a regular watering can of it's size. Okay, so both his raid tactic and this idea made at least *some* sense, but neither does hold up ultimately, and he had no reason to believe it could work in either case, on the contrary. |

Is he a boy playing the game with a female avatar, similar to how Akatsuki used to play the game, or is he using a male avatar with a very androgynous/feminine body? Hmm... For the first question, it is not mentioned whether Shiroe is aware of the actual composition of Plant Hwyaden's leadership or not. He does however knows about Kazuhiko and KR because they were both ex-Tea Party members as well. Kazuhiko's name has in fact been uttered before by Nazuna, the West Wind Brigade's de facto second in command way back in episode 5 I think, and she was also originally a Tea Party member. For the second, he was planning to make use of the gold protected by the Kunie to purchase all purchasable zones within the Yamato server, and then use his contract magic to return ownership to the Yamato server permanently without the option to repurchase. This way, he (and the Round Table Council) can avoid the need to pay crippling upkeep fees just to protect important structures from their enemies because now the option to purchase those zones have been eliminated. Essentially, what Shiroe plans to do is to make the land ownership mechanic non-abusable. For the third, Tetra's case is a reverse-Akatsuki one, that is, a boy trapped in a female avatar. And because Tetra was trapped for a much longer duration than Akatsuki, his voice is now feminine and most probably thinks like a girl too. |
| Pretty good first half, Tetra trap confirmed. |
| Shiroe just casually saying that Tetra is a male, Rofl. Too bad i got spoiled already |

AntonKutovoi said: Deen, please stop This is quickly becoming my biggest complaint with this season. I'm seeing way too many cases of either mega zoomed out/in shots so we don't see anyone's faces, or faces that have been ridiculously deformed to avoid having to animate them properly (such as the Shiroe pic). This flies against how Deen supposedly draws the characters "more detailed." It's not just the characters either. Take the griffon scene from this episode:  While there's more to the scene to this, this portion pretty much amounts to 10 seconds (!!) of two images casually floating across a static backdrop (barely even animated at that). Compare this to a similar clip in the first season:  I'm all for giving the benefit of the doubt, but so far, the only thing I'm seeing that this season has going for it in terms of art is brighter colors and character designs that are supposedly truer to the novel's depictions. |

I was wracking my head trying to figure out the reason why Shiroe wanted to buy Yamato land and have it given back to the Yamato server, specially when all the land was ALREADY on the Yamato server. But with the purchase of key structures eliminated, does this also mean that apart from Akihabara, no other city or structures are purchasable by players/people of the land? Also, does the non-repurchase clause also encompase all the buildings that Shiroe had previously bought within Akihabara? I mean, the upkeep fees for all those buildings must have been weighing down on him already, so if he's made Akihabara purchaseable, doesn't that meant that the buildings held under Log Horizon and/or the Round Table would still require all those up-keep fees? I mean, if the other were true and he made Akihabara unpurchasable, then wouldn't he also lose his Log Horizon building (since it's not even part of the guild hall)? |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Tetra is a male?! Yay get to see some of Plant Hwyaden member cannot wait to see the showdown between Log Horizon and them. Damm next episode is filler. |
 |
| So Tetora is a trap after all... my trap sense is working as intended :) |
| Tetra suddenly became likable. :D Yeah, so looks like Shiroe essentially wanted to make the purchasable land back into normal land as it would be in a game, since he's giving it back to the server. I believe he also said he would give the buildings of Akihabara similar treatment, since the Round Table is unable to incur the fees and the purpose of having control over the functions of the town were to prevent its abuse anyways. Anyways, I liked the dungeon and the gold system, that was an interesting take. Seems like this was a cool down episode, with a bit of a tease with the new group of adventurers that appear to be scheming. |
| Nice conclusion, Shiroe's plan is intelligent as usual. Tetra is a boy, really funny to hear that (^v^). |
Deiger1111 said: xikarra said: Not really, her in game gender is obviously female. Tbh, I'm really curious about how he actually figured that out. Of course, Shiroe would know that Tetra is a guy, since he joined his guild. Or so I believe. Are you sure about that? It's pretty easy to make a male character look like a female with certain character creators. |
Aoizuho said: Didn't expect Tetra as a guy =_=" Now I think about it, he is Guy In Real Life hahahahah LOL =D Seriously, i dont get why people like this Guy Girl thing =D It works for once, but ive seen too much animes using this =( Anyway, not bad episode - Glad that the dungeon is finalllyyyyyy over!!!!! ( imo they made it waaaaayyyy too long, nearly half of season 2 ) Imo, they should cut a bit of the comedy stuff, it feels like they are overusing it ( sometimes makes me cringe, in a not enjoyable way) and it somehow messes the excitement of the plot. |
 |
| I want to see more Marie x Naotsugu in action :DD AND Good that i knew that Tetra is a trap :DD |
| my god that tetra bomb. did not see that. they also dropped it so casually |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| A peaceful episode after all the awesomeness from the raid. Still can't get over the fact that Tetra is a boy. Finally, next week's episode seems to be boring. :/ |
 |
| Demikas wife really is a fine woman. I can see why he went crazy over her. Also    |
| Well nice wrap-up although it would have been nice to see how they defeated all three bosses. Ohh boyy, I smell love and jealousy next episode |
| Nice conclusion to the arc and by far the episode of this season (although that isn't really saying too much). We definitely got some more classic first season Log Horizon moments. And I definitely fell for the Tetra "trap". |

| Nice eps I think. And the next one is episode of love <3 >_< |
| Shiroe could found a way to solve his problems about Yamato. But I can't believe Tetra is a boy!... I was thinking that she can't be a boy... She doesn't like with any boy. Anyway I will definitely love the next episode. |

If you noticed what Shiroe did in this episode, he basically proved his point of the power of his contract by tearing one that represents the Round Table Council's ownership to key structures in Akihabara, which caused immense amounts of gold to pop out of thin air. And whatever Shiroe is planning to do with the borrowed gold cannot be applied retroactively, so whoever who had purchased zones already will still keep them (unless they give them up voluntarily to Shiroe). That is why Shiroe is in such a hurry - he wants to purchase as many zones as possible before they are all in private hands. |
| So is Tetra a boy... Physically? As in the avatar's physical nature? Or is it that boy who plays a girl avatar concept? |
