An episode like this really gives me stomach cancer. How any of you enjoyed this awfully written pos is beyond me. His motivations are as weak as they could possibly be. kiritos voice continues to be ridiculously painful to the ears. I just dont even. The fight wasn't even that entertaining, do you people not watch actual good fight scenes? sigh

I find it refeshing for a main character to have his own goals rather than some self insert tragic backstory bs.

Anime fan's cringeworthy"standards" these days.

Wow Freya went full Hisoka mode this episode
That fight was awesome, Bell finally took a level in badass.

Haven't read any of the novels, (just marathoned the available episodes) so for a moment I thought Ais was going to fight for him and die or something, which would mindbreak Bell.
5/5

She probably can kill that Minotaurus with a single slap. And without puting any strength in the slap, to boot. Even a level 3 Mage (so with very low strength compared to warriors) was proven to be able to kill in one hit a Minotaurus by just swinging her staff around and hitting the minotaurus. She's a level 6 and is fighter oriented, although her magic stat is very high, that's a buff stats when she fight rather than offensive magic.

S is generally seen as a class above A rank in many games and some anime.

SS rank is used to describe a class even beyond S rank. In the Final Fantasy Theatrhythm 3DS game you can get SSS scores.

yup! Sad how they left out the part about him being the first person to have a SS stat, but they'll probably cover that in the next episode. Atleast on the official website they have it updated to SS

I'll explain it then. Ranks are about the stats you gain during that level. They rise as you kill monster and depending of what happens. If you get hit a lot, your toughness rises, if you dodge a lot, agility rise, and so on.
Like it was said before, just killing monster doesn't make you level up, it will only rise you stat (as long as you don't get stuck, since your leveling in stat can get stuck anywhere).

For you to level up, you need to defeat opponent considered of a superior level (like a minautor(lvl2) for a level 1 ). Maybe several I suppose, especially if you do it in group.
For your information, a weak level 2 monster/adventurer is far stronger than a strong level 1, so the levelling rise your raw abilities by a huge margin, and usually, strong level 1 won't try to defeat a weak level 2 alone.

But let's get back to the way stats goes. If you noticed, every time a stat reach a new hundred, it changes its letter. 0-99 I 100-199 H 200-299 G ... 800-899 A 900-999 S.
The highest you rise in stats, the less new fight will influence your stat rising, until it get stucks or until... you change your level.
Usually, peoples doesn't reach S in abilities, except maybe in their main stats ( like a light fight reaching it in agility, for example) . No one even heard of a SS rank, either. The thing is, in Bell's case, his skill means that his stats grows very fast and DON'T GET STUCK (<- note here: this IS completely overpowered) so every stats reached S, except for magic.

Those stats will reset to 0 (I) with a level up, but they won't be lost. They are basically a "hidden parameter", which will influence what he can do, but will no longer be visible on the back of the adventurer.

So usually there is two cases for adventurers.
1) They rise in stats between C and A, and if they're lucky maybe a S, and then they defeat a superior monster in group, and level up (<- this is a MINORITY)
2) they rise in stats and get stuck somewhere. They don't reach enough stats to be able to defeat a level 2 even in group, and since most familia don't have level 2, they all get stuck here with stats inferior to C.

in all cases, reaching level 2 is a process that at the very last takes 1 year (record is currently one year, all others are far longer than that it seems).


So, the Loki familia are completely dumbfounded by two things when Riveria looks at his stats (btw, the " magic" line and everything below it (skill, ability, spells...) is hidden by what remains of his shirt, that's why she says "all S" even though there's a B in magic).

1) How the hell can someone rise all his stats to S without getting stuck beforehand, that's completely crazy.
2) How the hell did that guy rise his stats to S in one month even though the current record of going to level 2 was one year, and that on top of this like I said, that record holder didn't especially rise the all stats to S before leveling.
and 3) For Hestia, Riveria and someone else who could read them as well : What the hell is SS rank? the stats got over 1000 without getting stuck, never heard of that??

level 1 all S >> level 2 (gained from level 1 c or b stats)
