It's silly but also kinda scary how people can just risk their lives based off of rumors. 

Trying to take on a fire demon like that is just asking for it...but hey, this episode also had some good laughs. That "ecchi" scene in particular was priceless thanks to Lammis' reaction.

The Labyrinth Stratum, though finding Boxxo is one objective, the Flame Skeletitan is one dangerous floor lord that must be dealt with, not just personally coming from the people of the Menagerie of Fools, but there's a huge reward involved with it, being able to fulfill any wish. Same with the 8-legged Crocodile stratum lord that Boxxo attained a coin with it, being able to turn Boxxo back to a human is of idealism, but it's not to say that it's guaranteed. Captain Kerioyl reinstates his point for both Lammis and Hulemy to join the party for the while, and since he has supported them before, they would be fools not to accept. But turning human...eh...

Boxxo has an idea of how to navigate the Labyrinth Stratum, and the map helps a bit. Ultimately, there is a trap set up from the Flame Skeletitan, and Director Bear wants to use it against the fire benemothm even if it takes them all to push it into the big hole, water it down and attack it in its skeleton state. Boxxo's answer: a water-dispensing vending machine, but it'll take days, and with his limiting factor that he can only turn into it for an hour per day, they make the best of it with water and ice. Lammis asking Boxxo if he wants to turn back to a human, there is the consideration, but if he does, will it amount to anything? It's better to be a vending machine than a human who is weak, though if it's only with Lammis, he might just do it.

Hulemy reconsidering the Flame Skeletitan, and as the devil beckons, it came their way. With preparations done, they await for the opportunity to attack, though with cold ice, it douses faster because of the solidified carbon dioxide, which they don't realize, but they got the result either way. But trying to throw Boxxo there in a vapour of carbon dioxide, it'll kill him, and he changes to the porn magazine booth to for Lammis to throw him into the hole and change forms to eliminate the Flame Skeletitan then and there. As expected, he tricks them a bit to get the stratum lord's coin, then bailed himself out with balloons in his own shield...which angers Lammis, and Hulemy stops her bickering then and there. But who the coin belongs to, the rightful owner is Boxxo, and Kerioyl tries to buy it off of him, which is a win-win solution since he has one either way.

A rather ingenious way of defeating a monster that way, this show is gold on its own.

13:35 Wait, I get why he doesn't want to turn back into a human, but why doesn't he acquire the Telepathy function?
Also if he can have any wish granted, he should just wish for the ability to turn into a human and a vending machine at will.
Daaamn that's nice how he got it with the carbon dioxide! I love this.
17:55 No way he planned this lol. I wonder if it goes the same in the LN.
And so... How do they go up? How did they even go down?

Why am I enjoying this so much lol

Knowing something that shouldn't be known can be depressing, maybe that's his train of thought.

Making some balloons, changing into cardboard-based vending machine, trap some balloons with barrier, float, then remove the barrier when high enough. He used this to do something in past episode but I forgot which.

Commicating through pre-record messages are annoying at this point, I hope for telepathy soon, no, very soon. But I have a feeling that Boxxo will try to communicate through text first...

question did Boxxo get experience for defeating the flaming skeleton? he got experience for the 8 legged crocodile that how he got to level 2 also when they used him as a power washer to kill the flaming skulls does he get experience?

on a side note with barrier, dry ice he could kill any thieves just get them in the barrier add dry ice and wait if he could make a double barrier one to protect his body and the other to trap the thief plus a double barrier could  help cushion blows. if boxxo doesn't want to kill thieves after him the barrier balloon and cardboard form plus the solar panel to keep him going while he wants for rescue. boxxo noted he could get the telepathy skill i betting he could also a teleport skill at the very least the ability to return to spots he sold an item 

finally i surprised he not  trying to build up his mana pool as if he can use mana instead of points to put up his barrier and change shapes it will give him free use of these abilities also a mana to point converting skill will let him turn mana into points similar to how his new solar panel let he turn solar energy into points

Good episode seeing that flame skeleton being split in half was awesome. Can't believe I was cheering for a vending machine. More lore got added to this episode as well. Boxxo has the possibility of getting a wish granted. Of course he loves being a vending machine so he's torn. But he could just wish for an ability to turn into human with no time limit feature. Very cool episode can't wait for more.

Dr stone and jihanki collab when lol? Again, Boxxo uses science to defeat an enemy. This time using water/carbon dioxide to defeat the floor boss.

I really appreciate how creative the author is with these situations. First the karaage a few episodes ago and now this. It really makes for a unique and entertaining story. Even though the premise of the show is wacky, it has loveable characters well written situations that make it a very fun watch.

Also, some interesting world-building with the wish if you’ve reach the bottom of the dungeon. I know boxxo loves being a vending machine so he probably won’t ask to be human again, but being able to communicate or maybe having the ability to go between human and vending machine at will would be cool.

Solid episode

Imagine if Boxxo could transform into a human by collecting enough boss coins. While part of me is curious to witness that, I'm also enjoying the amusement of seeing him use his vending items to cleverly navigate challenging situations. Just this week, he turned into a water pump machine to fill a hole, which was quite intriguing. If he did decide to remain a machine, maybe he could wish for a speech function to be added.

It was quite clever of Boxxo to anticipate that transforming into a nudie mag vending machine would provoke Lammis to smack him into the pit. I'm relieved everything worked out well in the end. And one skelly coin is now in hand!

I'm kind of surprised how practical Boxxo's thoughts were when asked about if he would want to become a human again lol. I mean good thing boxxo's aware people would start to realize "he was better off as a vending machine" with time passing when he could no longer do the miracles he's pulling off right now.

Smart way to defeat the flame skeleton monster there, and that too by using the very basics of the basic science stuff. Though boxxo better not forget about his hundred gold coins payment lol.

"I don't think you've noticed this, but when you're thinking, your lighting flickers."
Hulemy might be best girl in my book, but these Lammis moments are the absolute cutest.

I don't know what to say about that finisher. I'm just thinking of what could have gone wrong with Porn Mag Strats. Maybe Lammis slaps Boxxo with the wrong trajectory, or maybe the captain goes to take a magazine and gets hammered instead.
We address the all-important question of whether Boxxo wants to go back to being human. Stay a vending machine and keep everyone won over with your gadgets, or regain your humanity and take a risk with your actual skills and personality? If I were in Boxxo's position, I would be so tempted to choose vending machine.

It is pretty sweet how Lammis understands and knows how to read Boxxo inner thoughts from something like the flickering of his lights, I was also thinking about using dry ice and what do you know it worked, thank you science.

Interesting plot stuff was revealed this episode, so the Menagerie of Fools is collecting Stratum Lord coins to have their wishes granted at the bottom of the labyrinth, I want to believe they’re all good folks but this kind of plot makes me think something bad could happen, Kerioyl was a bit sus at the end too but I’ll keep my good faith in him for now. And then the question came up of Boxxo becoming human again, it sounds great at first but it seems Boxxo has some mental stuff to work out lol, feel kinda bad for him. Of course the obvious choice is to wish for the option to become human but still be able to become a vending machine but I’m not sure if they’ll bring that up or not.

And the fight with the Deadhead who heard that amazing “Scarlet>Fire” was over quickly sadly but the way he was defeated was cool (get it), Boxxo using a really unique method once again with the dry ice was very smart thinking, you could say he cooled the Deadhead down with a sweet “Cold Rain and Snow” lol. And I also gotta say it was funny how Boxxo got Lammis to punch him into the air so he could defeat the Skeletitan with the lewd magazines lol, another very smart decision in the heat of the moment.

For the longest time and still to this day, rather than a human or indeed an animal of any sort, I always wanted to be a tree of any type with the same level of consciousness intact passing my days in immobile form just as an observer of the world still technically inside of it and yet also at once outside of it, so I can definitely relate to the desire of preferring to remain as a sentient object.

That would make everything easier for him ._.

Boxxo isn't sure whether to go back to being human, why doesn't he just wish to be able to switch between human form and the vending machine at will whenever he wants? ._.xd

I'm liking the anime but things like that sometimes make it not so enjoyable.

Estoy seguro que Lammis seguirá queriendo a Cajon aunque vuelva a ser humano, pero el miedo de Cajon es justificado. El como maquina ayuda a todo el pueblo, y si no conserva sus poderes al volverse humano, ya no seria útil para el pueblo. Piensa bien el deseo como dice la gente Cajon, y conviertete en humano y maquina a voluntad.

Boxxo's worries make sense. If he turns into an average human (and loses machine abilities), there will be little use of him. If he stays a machine he can potentially live forever (as long as people pay coins) and help all different kinds of people solve various problems. Considering how he produces goods virtually infinitely (as long as he's fed with coins), his value is immeasurable! Same can't be said about him prior to reincarnation.

So when you collect all the drop coins you get a wish granted? That is cool! I understand why Boxxo hesitated on wanted to become human again, he wouldn't be able to do the things he's done as a vending machine, but it should be fine as long as Lammis wants him to be.

That was probably my favorite episode of the series since the very first episode. They took down the flaming skeleton using a tactical approach that showed off Boxxo's potential nicely. Kind of wish all episodes involved strategic puzzle solving using Boxxo's abilities.

That final "Thank you very much" before defeating the stratum lord was kind of badass, ngl.

This episode also presents some interesting points to think about, mainly revolving around whether Boxxo should wish to be human again. Ideally, he could have the best of both worlds by being able to switch between the two, and that's honestly what I would prefer to happen to Boxxo, but I don't know if the current tone of the show sticks around much later. Further, that could also present questions such as "what form do people prefer me to take most of the time?"

Once again though, this show continues to impress in a variety of ways, and it's a lot better than the joke anime I though it was going to be. Also, and I say this unironically, I kind of like Boxxo x Lammis, or I just really like Lammis and her cute moments.

Boxxo worrying about not being as valuable to his friends if he were to become human makes sense. But I think his best attribute is his courage, not any person could slam into a giant skeleton that could kill people with ease! He wouldn't lose that if he turned back into a person.

The way that Boxxo packed up the skeleton was pretty badass. But I think he got ripped off for that coin lol, he probably got another 1 Million from killing it, so why is he so excited for 100k points?

The dilemma about Boxxo turning back into a human is surprisingly deep. He is right that he has a lot more confidence as a vending machine, and it seems like he enjoys it a lot besides the lack of intimate things he can do with Lammis. Even though I’m enjoying it a lot I can’t see this show getting a season 2, so maybe at the end of the season everyone will have a coin and he will turn human again? Then they wouldn’t have to go on anymore adventures anyways.
