Hmm, I'm not a fan of Aston's party so far. This episode dealt with some monster hunting and quests but I'm less impressed by Aston's personality.

Zeno is still at the center of this episode. Definitely wish Lily was more useful with her around.

Bruh, what a sore loser. Move on man. He's that desperate to get his ass beaten that he hires someone to try and destroy the slums?

Well, it was only a matter of time before they pulled the classic “Oh no! We kicked out the one crucial member of our party that we thought was useless all along” plot.

My first question is: what did Zenos even do as their slave? Seriously—what? They used to send him into the dungeon alone, and he always came back unscathed. Did their tiny brains never once question that how he's unharmed? And how weak is Aston, really? One glare from Zophia and the guy practically pissed himself.

Don’t even get me started on the conveniently timed events. Aston just happens to encounter Zenos right after learning that all three underground bosses know Zenos? And then Krishna shows up at the exact moment Aston is about to attack Zenos—just in time for Aston to learn about their connection? Yeah, okay.

And now there’s a golem? Of course there is. In this show, you just mention something, and boom—it happens. No jinxing, no build-up. And of course, the Guild is behind it all—because who else would it be?

Honestly, watching this anime is like self-inflicted suffering. I feel like my appetite’s been ruined before dinner thanks to this mess of a plot.

Outside of seeing people be maybe a bit too hyper-picky about some trivial things, I don't see why this show is below 7. it's one of the most entertaining shows of the season and Zenos's calm and intelligent demeanor are a nice refresh from so many dumb and over emotional MC's.

OK then - rant over :-)

This week we focus on the useless members of Zenos former party.
The way the story goes, including the bit about asking Zenos to come back, has become a fairly classic trope at this point, but it was still entertaining to see the way the girls protected him and interesting to take a peek at his past.

Nice cliffhanger, is Zenos going to fight for real? we'll see, shoud be fun.

This was the funniest episode from this series. Period!

Me, when they say I'm old with only 32 years:





About Aston (great name, by the way—my favorite car brand): Whoever is voicing this guy is killing it, haha!





It reminded me of this goat every time hahaha!:

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

The phoenix guy is quite cute, I hope he can redeem himself, but it's so rare to see a guy that kick other out of party to have a good ending. In fact, I could only think of one anime, and I watch a lot of kick out anime.

As one of only a half dozen shows I look forward to, it continues to perform. Great to see Zenos blow off Aston as if he wasn’t there. Of course this scenario is a rerun of many other anime but it still makes me laugh every week.

5:00 Good to see them struggling. Deserved as always.

11:30 hehe, he’s in for a surprise once he finds out 🤭

12:20 that’s good all the girls realized immediately who they were and they were NOT gonna have it with him

14:20 oh crap, here we go. Finally met again. As always with these “kicked out of the hero’s party” tropes, the hero party always comes back all haughtily asking the MC to return. Bruh Zenos ain’t giving Aston the light of day tho 🤣 straight up rejection.

Aston’s voice cracks and outbursts are hilarious 🤣

Also, the OP is probably my most favorite song this season 🔥

Ah yes the obligatory episode where the old party finds out they kicked out their OP healer and now try and get him back whilst learning his true power.

I have seen many of these episodes, but I do always enjoy them as they learn how stupid it was to kick out the MC. Aston learnt that the slums respect Zenos which is something he and his party never did.

Besides all that, I loved it when the VA for the Aston started screaming at Zenos when he declined the offer. :}

@Stark700 Lily already is useful to Zenos and she should be even more, considering her role.

Another very good episode, despite the low production value! Once more, one cannot criticize something not present since the series beginning -- animation quality.

Zenos holds no rancor, for he is a businessman. I am certain he would work with the Golden Phoenix, provided his part and profit are worth the deal -- the Healer has Lily, who shares life with him.

They continue the trope of "party think mc is useless so they kick him, then they are so sure mc will crawl on his knee if they want him back"

It's funny that 3 different factions suppose to most powerful and resourful groups in the poor neighborhood, but they can't even track those losers? and find out where they went?

@Stark700 Aston is the biggest problem that party had. It's not like Blunder Pike in a certain other Anime', where almost everyone is a scum bag, but here bad leadership is clearly to blame. One by one, the other members get injured & he STILL cannot figure it out fully. And he even sold out his last supporter! No need to say anymore.

Yeah this was a predictable episode with Zenos' old party crawling back after kicking him out. Apparently they didn't notice Zenos healing them instantly during the fights and not waiting until they were over, in a way Zenos didn't help his case with him hardly moving and not letting them know that he had been healing them. Nonetheless Zenos has no obligation to rejoin them as he has a good life helping out the poor while still making a living for himself but that didn't stop his old party (presumably) from having the 'Guide' summon up a golem as revenge.

Honestly one the weakest episodes, sharing last place with the 1st one (which it kinda got better after you know how he met the girls and why they like him)

Not enough jokes and seriously, showing how much they suck without him was a waste of time, at least show me how the party fought against monster while Zenos was with them to understand better their misconception (that wolf scene was not it, how is that he didn´t feel the pain from the cut? Zenos didn´t heal him while he got damage)

Also the joke, I think that it was supposed to be one, about the golem was not funny

It was great when all the leaders turned down Aston and basically said the same thing to him about being a fool for kicking out Zenos.
Unfortunately for the slums it looks like he is a sore loser that made that golem go on a rampage.

Random thoughts on the episode.

Everyone: "Wait, are you the guys?" ROFL "GTFO"

Camilla continues to be almost prophetic. I hope her back story is both interesting and ends up being relevant.

So, based on the things the mid-level healer was saying (necessary conditions for quality healing), it seems like adventuring parties can't even have a role such as "Healer" and Zeno's was the only one (albeit unknown to his team). Major injuries need hospitalizations, minor ones probably aren't worth having a dedicated party member for.
If no one ever had healer roles before, and Zenos healed and boosted so quickly they didn't see or notice, it actually starts to make sense that they didn't see his value.
Ironically, if he was slower to heal them, and let them get critical, they would likely have a greater appreciation for how he somewhat effortlessly could bring them back from the brink.

The firefoxes sure were kind to just stop attacking as soon as the intruders left their cave.

Geez, so we're going to have one of these guys again, well hopefully they handle him better than Simon. It was pretty funny that everyone just dismissed him as a dumbass compared to the other shows where they still feel like they owe him something. But of course he still has to show them after being humiliated and went to the under-underground with the really bad guys LOL. Kinda wish he could heal Carmilla back to life she's fun, but geez that scene what happened to her face? It was like that episode of Seinfeld where his girlfreind was pretty in normal lighting but became hideous in poor lighting.

@XArceusX To answer your first question. Zenos has silent cast and instant cast, plus his barriers are more powerful. So it makes it seem like none of his party never takes any damage and he looks like he just stands there.

I currently read maybe more than 25 manga/LN with the 'exiled and underestimated main character' as a theme, and we are finally at that stage in the story where the initial antagonists are trying to get the MC back but can no longer do so, because MC was so OP after all. I love how these things develop.

You just answered the question yourself. If Zenos just stays still and does nothing because his idiot party members never noticed, then why was he even in their party all this time? If someone is dead weight, shouldn't they(Zenos's party members) have kicked him out a lot earlier?

It feels like this part of the writing was done without much thought—like many other poorly written plots.

@XArceusX Zenos felt indebted to Ashton for bringing him out of the slums and probably felt that if he left the party, he would have nowhere else to go. He's an underground healer, so if he did quit, he couldn't go into healing openly without a license. Ashton never really paid him, so he couldn't afford to get a license. Plus, he never had a name before Ashton gave him one, so I assume there was a problem with him knowing magic being lower class. The show gives hints about his situation.

@Moppit No, you got it backwards. I was talking about Aston and the rest of the party members. If they thought until the very last moment—right up until they were getting their asses handed to them—that Zenos had been of no use to them all this time, then I don't see any reason why they would have kept him around for all these years.

Outside of it being a trope that the MC is in a party for at least a year before being thrown out to show how much more of an impact it is when they finally kick him out. I can't think of a reason, either why they kept him for so long.

@Moppit So we both think the party had no real reason to keep him—it was just forced for the plot’s sake. It's just a lazy writting.

That was a disappointing episode. Maily because the villain, already forgot his name, was so stupid. And to have the repeated find a gang boss. be rejected, get stunned and angry. Then repeat x 2. A few times I thought and then this will happen. And it did.
Won't continue my criticisms. Healer of Waifus is still a pleasant way to pass 20 minutes.
