Hajime and his group decide to attend a welcome party, which also serves as an engagement celebration for Liliana and Bias.

Meanwhile, under the radar, Cam and the Haulia tribe, having received Hajime’s assistance, begin secretly preparing to raid the party. At last, a battle of pride between the Empire and the fiercest rabbits is about to unfold.

EP 4

Last time. talking. lots of talking
Aaand uhh. hmm
The strange thing is the pacing means we still have lots of eps to go
Soo yeah uh
This time



Soo. i mean thats that. not sure what happens next ep though
Not really much to say this ep since they kinda did what they were gonna do and not much.
Lili is something I guess? Otherwise not much to say, most of the ep was dark and not really focused on our main girls

"You are getting bunnied up"
"Desu"

They said heads and blood will fly and they delivered. That's the one of the rare good things about this series it can get dark and it doesn't shy away from it.
The Empire had it coming and its satisfying to see the Haulia and Shea get their revenge.

The plan was went smoothly without any hitch which was kinda surprising as Hajime didn't have to lift a finger. Can didn't show any mercy while negotiating and shown how fked Emperor really was then.

Quick and efficient, mission successful.

Ep1-4 titles are the same as Vol 7 Ch1-4 titles and Ep5 title is the same as Vol 8 Ch1 title. Vol 7-10 each has 4 chapters (not counting prologues and epilogues) and looks like each episode will cover one chapter and having the same title of the chapter.

That was awesome. No bullshit about forgiveness or some stupid reason that good guys have to let evil people live. The Haulia, side characters, are better than 99% of the "dark" MCs in every other anime.

@killzone3abc They said from the beginning that the plan was to kill everyone around the Emperor until he agreed. Him dead might feel good, but it doesn't prevent the Haulia from being attacked later, only the vow from the living Emperor does.

That was a great episode.
The plans Hajime & the Haulia's came up with were spot on, it couldn't have gone much better.
I really liked it when they killed Baius.
Shea got her revenge, she was awesome.
I look forward to seeing what happens next.

Been pleasantly surprised with how good this season has been so far. Total departure from the CGI mess that was season 1. The studio change really helped. Congrats to the Haulia for FINALLY gaining their freedom and putting an end to the persecution they’ve endured for so long. Hajime might be an asshole to them at times, but he’s completely changed their culture and perspective on life around and now this is the start of a new age for them.

I’m glad Gahard rejected the initial deal tbh so we could see the rapey POS get decapitated. Don’t feel bad for any of the empire’s troops after all the shit they’ve inflicted on the Haulia.

Terrorism done right😆

You gotta hand it to Gahard, he actually yielded to prevent more harm to his people (and funnily enough, he probably knows his son is so scummy that he didn't even consider him a bargaining chip)

Goddamn, it was a massacre. Good on the Haulia to reach so high and attain their freedom. They did an amazing job. Hajime led them to victory and did his job perfectly, even saving the princess. What a chad! Such a good episode with plenty of action and lots of emotions. I loved how Shea was able to get revenge on that asshole soldier who attacked her tribe and hurt her so badly. It was a good day.

Compared to gratuitous violence in the novel ("A second later, the upper half of their bodies went flying. Shea had swung Drucken so fast that it had cut them in half."), the animation is still quite tame and lame.
It is going in the right direction though.

So far I have been enjoying this Arifureta season so much, it's so fun to see.

I like how those Haulia is so strong enough to threaten an emperor by themselves without Hajime involved directly :)

Bunny power~

For some reason, this episode felt a lot more graphic with the deaths than any of the previous seasons, and the funniest part is that the killers are a bunch of rabbits.

It seems like the princess will be joining Hajime's harem as well. A good episode overall! The Haulia definitely showed their strength, knocking heads off and blowing up buildings left and right. If the emperor hadn't been such an idiot, he wouldn't have lost so much, but it was very satisfying to see him defeated and accept the Haulia's terms.

Damn, I feel none of the intensity and fun from the original LN work was carried over. Instead, all of the plot and action felt nothing but like some elementary school play lol Honestly I don't know how to feel about anybody wasting budget making this kind of anime... the LN really has everything in much better quality and details, hell I'd rather go back and rewatch GATE for the same kind of action in this episode, it's so damn sad, they've pretty much wasted the money on the VA, colors and the rest of the animation... :/

@ota92ppon Have to agree with you here, while I do admit it's fine enough (if I was a anime only). Its not a good adaptation. This arc in particular has been nothing more than a bum rushed mess.

The Haulia tribe were infiltrating the empire like ninjas. I could tell by the outfits. They do not feel inferior anymore to all the other demi-humans. I'm glad to see them stick up for themselves.

Nice conclusion for the Haulia tribe, but if you think morally, it's evil to kill—but what they did to the Haulia tribe is more evil.

The Bait of Haulia tribe: "Haulia's boss, Hajime"
LOL

Definitely a conclusion that gives you mixed feelings.
But at the same time, it wasn't that dark... (I was waiting for the whole family of the emperor to show up, but only the rapist died)

P.S. I was looking forward for the Emperor-character to say his vows, and the artifact on his shoulder would activate, but we didn't get any of them.
They probably skipped it, unfortunately.
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.

The three of them playing rock paper scissors while princess stealing the show. Guess this means she's added to harem or close to. The bunnies conquered the empire. A job well done. Shea also got revenge.

Cool to see Shea and her clan kicking ass and being able to avenge the Hualias. Would have expected the arc to take more episodes but this leaves room for us to get into the last 2 labyrinths.

Princess Liliana's engagement party is in session, whilst the Haulia tribe does their own sortie behind the scenes. All of this is meanwhile with Hajime just enjoying the dance with Yue, then Lily herself in the face of the public before she becomes a woman...or not, thanks to the rabbit beastmen assault hanging yet another kingdom. And once positions are in, the Haulia tribe determines life or death, right at this very moment.

With the frontal assault, Shea can finally get back her revenge, and Cam with his due on Emperor Gahard with assassinations left and right to earn their independence in one fell swoop.

In the end, Hajime didn't even need to lift a finger for their work, impressive.

you underestimate the beastman
make them do slavery work
in return, the beastman massacred the empire
killed the emperor's son in front of the emperor
forced the emperor to vow

that's what we call the law of equavalant exchange

I get that the Empire is full of bad racist people that I should be rooting against, but having the entire capital fall in a matter of a 20 minute episode just felt stupid. The entire operation goes flawlessly. They just behead every single enemy in front of them. Not a single Haulia member is shown dying or EVEN BEING INJURED. They made this huge deal last episode about the stakes involved in undertaking this massive endeavor, then just give us this slop. There wasn't a single moment of suspense or resistance in an episode about overthrowing a nation. Truly baffling.

Lol that scene with Shea was so "off" like especially the last sound effect, like it felt so empty, like it was supposed to be a big hit that sent him to the moon and then her asking if she avenged her dead family. But instead it sounded like she only launched him like 1 meter max, and the music and camera had the same issue. The vibes of the scene did not match with what she was saying and what the vibes probably were in the original material.
See I told you before the Emperor is kind of a G. Like sure he's also an asshole but he's a likeable asshole. Unlike his "late" son who had no redeeming qualities.
