In a world with different ideals, it's obvious not everyone will just agree with Souma. Yet he does try to bring some peace and hope for refugees.

Souma came as a genuine caring person from this episode though, for the people.

Well Souma made a good offer to the refugees, being able to rebuild their life in the new city.
Anyway i believe Souma was a bit more of a men in the LN in the ending still lets hope things will light up in the bedroom soon for them.

Still it's nice to see that he is thinking of the less fortunate as well.

Refugee story with a happy ending only exist in fiction.
In fact, I don't even consider this outcome good because the refugee leader (which is hot) is still go back to fight for his homeland, his fate is unknown. But there's a reason to be optimistic, Demon Land is still a wild card, if they're able to communicate with other species (with the help of Tomoe), then there's a high chance of peace negotiation.

Tackling the refugee problem head on. Souma laying down the ultimatum to the chief. Either become citizens and live in this country, or leave. Can't just let the refugees keep rummaging through the land whilst breaking laws of such land. Its a harsh decision being forced upon them but its a necessary one to get a solution to this problem. Souma had his hands full with other things before as we've seen international issues have taken most of his time but now all that's settled and unified the domestic agenda takes front attention. Just set a solution for slavery in motion, spoke about sanitation in cities and quality of life now refugees have to be dealt with. Another harsh way to put it I know and Souma is dealing with this issue in probably the cruelest way thus far the points he brings up show why it has to be a quick and harsh decision. Winter is coming, literally, and if this refugee camp is just set up like it is then many of them will freeze and die. The baby being born there reinforced Souma other point of the children born to this country will feel attached to it and then ripped away off to their forefathers homeland if its ever taken back from the demon Lord. There would be even greater disconnect and pain caused in that situation than if the refugees just become citizens of Fredonia now and move to the brand new port city Souma is having built. So the ones who agree just have to bite the bullet and make that decision, while others will return north and fight the demon Lord forces. Its a harsh solution but a necessary one.

Great episode! Souma worked out a deal to provide those who have lost their country with food and shelter. There was a baby emergency but the mother and the baby both survived. And Liscia suggested they make one tonight to which Souma refused lol.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Whichever world you're in conflict and strife would always create refugee's thats the inevitable result of human ambitions. The meeting with the refugee leaders really presented a lot of harsh realities for us. Yet Souma trying to understand them by using his own experiences showed well his ability to be understand the plight of others. Though Komain's views differ with her bro it reflected well on her loyalty to their homeland. The emergency birth while a close call showed well how dire the situation at the camp was. While the bro heading north to join the war effort and leaving Komain to lead was kind of harsh him taking the hardliners north with him will take a lot of pressure of her while she unites her people. Fuku was a pretty nice name. Liscia trying to start her own family after seeing a baby born was pretty cute but given how long they been together now is too be expected.

Man this guy is so fucking lame. LMFAO.

Also i don't get the whole native american land thing. They didn't want to become citizens because they couldn't go back? Or did i misunderstand? Coudln't they just stay until they beat the demons and go back? they aren't held hostage.


Also where are the demons? 2 season in and still nothing about the demons taking over the world....

This episode's focus on refugees, really, with the Russia-Ukraine war right now, it's telling.

Souma, Liscia, Hilde and Owen meeting the refugee Settlement of Parnam with head chief siblings Jirukoma and Komain whom their lives and homes have been thwarted by the demons, they can't stay in this state forever with legality threatening to tear them apart if this is not settled.

Souma has 2 choices for them: be part of Friedonia, or be expelled to foreign territories that could do more harm than Souma's kingdom. This, to people whom their land has been considered sacred, this almost feels like blatant disrespect. Souma's idea of a kingdom settlement for the people of Parnam has benefits and drawbacks, but it's the people whom will make the final decision to divide their own people.

Doctors Hilde and Brad expect the worst from a newborn mother having a transverse birth, and though they aren't prepared for something like this, they will have to do it to save lives and make way for the new generation, which Jirukoma is giving Komain the current plot of land to preserve their home identity while he moves forward with Souma's plan.

Of course, Souma better watch out his words in an era where things like that aren't as technically advanced, and Carla shot him down straightaway when he took childbirth lightly. To crown the newborn with a name from a king, I guess this is a special occasion.

Liscia is really hinting Souma for one though...

Carla continues to be an idiot. Woman or baby would likely be dead. Souma is a young guy who does not any personal experience so he did learn something much more personal about childbirth, but Carla can STFU.

They haven't learned how to turn a baby inside the womb? Doesn't always work, but they didn't seem to even consider it.

Damn, that was an awful lot of blood on those surgical gowns. Maybe those two aren't the medical geniuses we've been led to believe.

Why does Souma keep putting off his duty to sire an heir?

It was. I quoted the novel somewhere else, because not only was the scene different, Souma was actually supposed to explain why he hasn't been getting it on with his wives yet, like some other posters have been wanting him to do.

Souma or chaos empire both interesting handling of refugees, have them work & develop designated land is quite useful. Wont work on most irl countries since they're densely developed already and refugees continuously arrive.
Baby part seems random but sorta deals with generational issues rather far in the future.

tf is you talking about.. If anything, souma was a bitch for not holding his ground. He said nothing wrong, where he is from, C-section are common and the mother survives 99% of the time.. Not only that, homeboy knew that wolf chick for like 30 seconds before she asked him to be a godfather and name her kid.. Like wtf? I'm guessing the dad died protecting the family/community yet Carla talking about "how would you like to get cut open even if it's 100% successful." The dad was probably cut open with 0% chance of survival on the battlefield soo. Souma don't even know her name... How is that his responsibility to name a kid?

Correct. As I said, I quoted that scene from the novel so you can see for yourself in the link.
There's no Carla outburst at all. In the LN Souma only mentions c-section in a larger point that due to their increasing medical knowledge that it's more safe to give birth now than it used to be in the past, he wasn't making light of pregnancy or w/e the anime wanted to change it into.

You're right, you did already say that there wasn't anything else to that scene. I'm absolutely baffled at the inclusion of this dialogue in the anime, it's such a needlessly sexist scene, and it completely goes against the established tone. Souma acts completely nonchalant about the danger to the mother's life because that is our cue as the viewer that there's no reason to be worried, that everything will be fine. Then, the writers turn around and try to berate him for taking childbirth too lightly? LOL

Intriguing how they used american indian as a chief because Souma choices kinda related to 'that'. But ofc Souma offer sounds more realistic and understandable then its not even looks forced because you know its a must regarding the incoming winter, to put an end to the issue asap. To make things more works for the both side and smooth with the decision making, Brad arrived telling those fine people to get out because he's trying to held a C-section surgery after that. Poor Carla had a worst day having to work a multitask job there; guard, messenger, courier, assistant doctor, and, don't forget about maid. So, i can't help but understand she suddenly got an outburst responding Souma words like that, even if its not included in the source. Guess the scriptwriter had a pity toward Carla so that's the result of her 'out of character' xd.

But anyway, enough of that, i don't really bringing up a problem over it. So that little fun bits of Souma shying away over Liscia talk about making baby kinda be a good closing through the episode. Two more...

I can get why Souma wants them to make a decision, but both the Gran Chaos and him have different ways to deal with people.

I honestly don't get why Carla got riled up when Souma said C-Sections have a high percent survivability in his world. Maybe because she saw so much blood? I don't think he's taken light of the operation because I think he knows the operation has a high success rate with the two doctors. If he knows history, there are things much more serious and dangerous operation, like operating on a brain, heart surgery/transplant, operating on conjoined twins and more.

No, that was just unnecessary aggression. All he did was say there is a high rate of success where he came from. Carla is the only one who got triggered by that trivial fact. He nevere diminished the risks or burdens associated with it. That's just typical female overreacting over a harmless statement.

EDIT: Bonus points from other's bringing up the fact the LN didn't even include that nonsense. I agree it seems someone somewhere wanted to stuff some feminist BS into this version of the story.

The message of Souma when he talked about things with those refugees was quite resounding.

Leave this land and go to your homeland or be the citizens of their kingdom... or something like that. It was truly bittersweet.
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.

Re-watching this anime right now and this episode is beyond dumb.

The fact that they simplified what a "refugee" is to the most childish level, while randomly having leaders of the camp who are cosplaying as Native American's while everyone else around them wasn't, was just hilarious.

Also, do watch the English dub for ultimate lulz. The Native American brother VA trying hardest to do the stereotypical accent while the sister VA sounds like she can't decide whether to sound like a New Yorker or a Native American made it the best thing ever. That stupid dragon outburst was just way too much of a try-hard moment. Already a terrible character made worse in an instant.
