A good episode, although I still don't understand the two personality thing. Like yeah he wanted to kill people two different times, but this one is a Rapist and the other one is a murderer. And in his past life he was just a random 20 year old college student or whatever it's not like he's a killer. And in this world he was a poor kid aho dealt with tragedy and through some good fortune for once born from that, he got to go to a fine Academy and meet a wonderful person (Celia, miss her a bunch) who helped him so much and formed a great relationship with him. So what is this murderer stuff he's got going on? Honestly there is probably a lot percentage of people who HAVEN'T thought about killing someone at one point or another, and if they had someone they love nearly raped and they witnessed it or a family member killed unless they were literal saints I'm pretty sure even those would feel the same, right?

Basically, Haruto's personality was more dominant than Rio's (probably because he lived longer). Rio's desire for revenge was eventually reduced because of Haruto's influence who was a nice guy with no reasons to hate or want to kill someone and who knows killing is bad... but thats probably because Haruto was seeing it as "not his problem". The attempted rape reminded him the incident with his mother (who was raped and killed in the LN) and reawakens Rio's rage and desire for revenge.

There arent two personalities but a fused one where Haruto has the biggest influence. What he has from Rio is basically just his desire for revenge, or that we know at least,we didnt got to see much from Rio before the fusion thing.

See okay thanks now it makes sense. Desire for Revenge totally makes sense but the way he was talking made it sound like he was some killer inside. Btw on MAL this is classified as a Harem Anime, does he end up back with the girls and is it that? People on YouTube were arguing with me about that.

I really liked this episode. Rio has got a new harem girl lol BTW, this double personality (Rio and Haruto) reminds me Banri from the anime "golden time"... I guess there will be some drama when the main character has to choose between Celia and Miharu.

Ah right, Rio's homeland. The chief of the village revealed to be his grandma, and two girls already added on to his harem without much sweating. Ofc there's always be someone who dislike and overly jealous with the harem. Cause its an obvious way of natural selection for those kind of guys. The later with the awful goons also not so surprising. I've seen that plot way many times, one year before. Don't get me wrong, tho. Its not that bad, but not that much good either.

At least Ruri and Sayo were extremely waifuable. Some poses were truly nice, and the va really did a good job portraying their cuteness, ngl. So, yeah, pay no mind about the generic af plot needing thr black-haired mc saved the girls ass every single time.

Well, the glimpse over Rio's mother death kinda give me a good impression about the future plot, and the minor mystery about Rio's parents on those little village also signed in some light. I heard some bad disaster coming on those village at the past. So lets see if the history finally getting more added to the overarching story of Rio. Well, not that its not possible. After all, the grandma already told when the times has come, the history will revealed itself. So, yeah, lets see next....

He is conflicted, because for Haruto killing is bad whatever the reason (japaneses and their exagerated morals).

Yes,there is a harem and unnecesarily big. Its not like he is traveling with all of them on andventures though (like most Isekai), more like he sometimes encounters some and then others (like To Aru).

Ah I guess that's a good thing and a bad thing, I really want at least Latifa to be with/fight with him. Also even though I love this show he's definitely boring at times so having people with him would be nice. Such a bummer that it'll probably only be 12 episodes. I'd love to see 24, or at least a few seasons. Btw do they have enough material to make a few seasons now?

I’m so glad Rio finally found some family and a place where he belongs. Ruri and Sayo’s seiyuus are great too. Like the natural tone they had throughout the ep.

Bit tired of the sexual assault trope being used as a device to make you dislike characters, but I’m glad Rio was able to stop Gon before he did anything.

The sexual assault scene was used to reawaken Rio's personality and past grudges, as he has been behaving more like Haruto. This scene reminded him of what happened to his mother and gave him the last push to seek revenge for it.


So… it was sexual assault as a plot device… like I said.

For once, people actually tried to understand basic action from Rio in this anime, I thought it would end up in another illogical misconception.

So... will he now go on another journey, this time to find the guy (or guys) that killed his mother? (reawaken his revenge plot?)

Since he already reached his formal goal that was at the start of the series (besides the revenge),

Which was to go to his hometome for his mother's promise.

Tho, I guess he's still going to do that merchant guarding thing? (especially after the fiasco with the "son of neighbor's village"... will the other village not retaliate after MC is gone?) (similarly with what happened at the beginning with MC getting the blame for the Academy incident... "son of a high class royalty that apparently holds more power than the king and princess")

Which also reminds me of just the previous Spirit Village incident... wouldn't the Wyverns start a full scale war against the Village after they found their eggs are all missing and the last thing they knew was their unborn child was killed in the Village... meanwhile the MC went off to Yagumo Village, lol.

___ ___ ___

And yea... apparently most new shounen Isekais now all have at one time or another "Rape Plots"... most of them put them are the beginning where it triggers the MC somehow and make them go OP. But I guess this one puts them in the middle, to trigger the MC's revenge.

Latifa doea keep appearing but not that much. Yeah, Rio is kinda boring so its nice to have other characters around.

No way this is getting a second season, the LN isnt popular enough and i doubt the anime will be big enough for that. There are 19 volumes (15 in english), this season will adapt the first 5, so there is still a lot of material.

Never said it wasnt, just that its not for the purpose of hating Gon (nobody carea about him).

And here I am, geeked out to see that they used a traditional "japanese archery" (Kyudo) technique for the hunting scene, where the bow follow-through turns the bow around. I remember reading about this a long time ago for other historical bow techniques and thought it was interesting.

Media and entertainment is so good at f**king up accuracy of weapon techniques, that it was actually refreshing and out of place to see something halfway accurate in an anime for a few seconds haha.

Awesome :)

enjoyed the episode not only did he make it home but he met family. I am worried his parent didn't leave home on their own accord and finally they dust up with the neighboring village chief pig son may lead to trouble for him force him into a seem situation as his parent.

my theory is he was the reason his parents left home maybe it has something to do with the human spirit he has inside him. maybe the right to rule is based on spirit power and with a human spirit make him extremely powerful because he a reincarnated person as his parent are just commoners would upset the status quo forcing his family to flee for his and their safety

Rio has reached Yanome and he met the elder from the village who was actually his grandmother. Some pretty usual stuff. Rio helping out everyone in the village and impressing girls here and there. Some troublemakers came in and got destroyed by Rio. You don't put hands on a girl around Rio.

It was a rather peaceful episode but the ending was a bit dark since Rio couldn't hold his urge to kill him, I guess.

It took me a while to figure out but the seiyuu of. Yuba-bachan is Ohara Sayaka same VA of Ezra Scarlet. That's why her voice has been on my mind the whole time.

Interesting episode and look forward to the next.

Oh. He finally met his grandmother. And his two cousins are cute.

It was hilarious how Gon tries to trip Rio but ends up tripping himself. Its like he's a wall. A hole beaten up by him for assualting the girl is satisfying.

Rio is so handsome he made all the girls in the village wet.

Rio sure does get around pretty quick. Maybe he can do some sort of teleporting trick we just haven't been shown yet, lol.

I can't tell if there was a time skip or not at some point in this ep. I'll just go with there wasn't one.

That next episode title scares me: "Royal Lineage". This ain't gonna be good.

Mom and this episode was absolutely brilliant I have nothing to say about it. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ How Rio got to the village, how she became a star, but also the nephew of the village chief, that really amazed me. πŸ˜³πŸ’™ But it was so funny when he kicked Rio in the leg and fell down, and after Rio he says, "Oh dear, are you okay?" πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ But in the end he was so smeker when he got annoyed to give in to that ruthless sheep. 😳

EP 7

Soo another skip and now rio is in wherever land.
Is there gonna be some deus ex machina or is someone actually going to show up? hmm


Welp
I mean a pretty drastic swerve
Also well they skipped the ed
Ah yes im sure nothing could possibly go wrong with a next ep title like that
Its strange because. curious

I kinda doubt that ruri and sayo are going to just tag along when rio leaves. Who knows, can you imagine if all ten girls tried to show up in one screen at the same time?

Huh. So sayo is kubo yurika? Kinda curious but what do I know. Ruri is omigawa chiaki, and I honestly cant remember the last time I heard her. Orr do I?

Obviously the main problem at this point is that there are way too many girls. Celia ep 123, then latifa ep 456 with the other girls, and now ruri and sayo. They're not even bad girls but oof.

I do kind of dislike the whole stereotype of just shitting on another male character the whole episode just to make the MC look better, It's fine that he has his flaws or is Jealous but... also give him some good qualities like FFS. At least let him get like "half way" to beating up those guys. Rather than immediately get stopped and stomped.
Anyways that's all.
