Ahh, I see what you're getting at. Skill are earned under certain conditions, as long as the requirements are met he can get it back, specially titles. But regardless of that, his social position is not affected, he still possess political power even if less than before, not because he lost the "skills" that represent it, but because he shamed his family's reputation.

They wouldn't wage war against the elves when their son plotted something stupid and on top of that even failed miserably.

It's possible that Hugo could be simply disowned for being a disgrace to the family, but it can go other way around...

If Elves are subjects to the Empire, for example, attacking the Prince is treason.

If they are sovergein state, then it is different, and it depends how much power they have.

Actually, a whole skill and level drain could be seen as attack on the legitimacy of the Emperor's bloodline. And this would mean war instead.

Actually, for all the supposed worldbuilding human chapters are supposed to provide, we know nothing about the human countries and what relationship they have.

There is no explanation why the teacher has so much power to boss around people who are basically noblemen and noblewomen.

And why there is a school in the first place.

If I was an Emperor, heir to my throne wouldn't be sent to some boarding school, he would have private tutors and bodyguards.

The elves are a sovergein state, a powerful one at that who is also difficult to invade for a number of reasons, the most notable would be geographical.

hmm, while I can't defend the LN, the WN starts the human side with Shun's birth, so we get a good understanding of the societary structure and the relations with some countries before all of this happens. They are at the most prestigious school of the world, that's why a lot of important people study there. There's a map above, you can actually see where the elves are, where's the empire, where are the demons, etc. Maps are good civilization

Some explanations for your doubts will come later, others I'm not sure.

This is all information anime didn't provide. And that is some basic information. They aren't a mystery to be revealed gradually.
I am still considering making a blog trying to list what anime did show me, and what it didn't, and when they finally answer it, if ever.

The elves don't matter yet so I get why it wasn't shown, but yeah with other countries, the church and the whole deal with the school should have been explained.

If Elves have so much power that no one dares to say anything against them, and are so feared, why no one rebelled against them yet?

Actually, thinking of it, Demon Lord doesn't look too demonic, no horns, tail, wings, she looks like an elf too.

it's not like they have too much power, it's a "Anyway, don't mess with them" situation, they are not feared but it's better to leave them alone because if we do that we won't need to deal with them. As to why, huge spoilers, don't recommend looking into it.

Well, demons are a varied species, basically everthing that is humanoid and isn't elf or human is a demon. Some have horns, some have tails, others have wings, some all of the above... The current Demon Lord hasn't, that's all.

Damn,that was a big reveal,15 yrs between inside the dungeon and outside?
Then again,if Kumo was inside the dungeon when he teleported to her,and then he was outside at the same time at the demon meeting,does that mean he can teleport through space and time? - Was that the same guy at all?
Wtf,is he a tardis?

Elves are just a third faction, in this Humans vs Demon world the elves try to act as ambassadors to stop the never ending war (it's not working lol).
Also, there's no point in attacking the elves because nothing good would come from it to both sides. The forest where the elves live is also the where


Now about thinks that the anime did mentioned. The academy where Shun & Co are right now is an academy for nobles and royalty from all over the world.
- Shun and Hugo are princes
- Katia will be the next head of the Anabald Duchy
- Yuri is literally the next Saint of the Word of God Religion.
I think we can assume that Oka is also some kind of elf noble.

The skipped worldbuilding is mostly irrelevant. The information about the Word of God Religion is far more important to the plot.
Skippend worldbuilding is:
- Shun's country noble ceremonies
- The continents names (obviously this can be added later anyways)
- Shun's other siblings (though they should appear next episode going by next episode preview)

There's also the map that I posted before that I took from volume 4. Most of the world information comes when Shun start his journey.

Finally i have a time watching this. Not sure what i am feeling after those multiple revelations and the death announcement. Well, can't say much about the story telling elements when its goes with that type of direction rather just fine rather just keep watching and rewatched it after a certain times.

So, Julius appearance in this episode only to got him announcely death. Way to go with the classic human-demon enmity without giving a proper explanations before how it could be in the first place. Guess the reason may be slowly reveal as the time has come.

Kumoko got a dragon slayer title by using a phantasm skill and did the Magic Abyss skill to destroyed that unnamed fire dragon. The administrator finally revealed. That guy from the opening was the administrator, and D has been introduced too. Ah, that familiar voice, i see. So, she was some kind of the true god, there, eh, that made the other administrator couldn't even take action by himself. Her reason quite generic and eh moment for me, so far. The self-amusement sounded pretty *grin, that i can't say the right word*, its even possible to the route which made Kumoko became the god too *grinning again*. But well, its okay. The smartphone just flew away like that, tho. How funny that little thing screwed up my initial thought about it. Lmao.

Anyway, the demon lord mentioned Yamada-kun. I fuckin sure its mentioned before, but i forget whose that. But, its not necessarily important cause they may giving the info about it later, due to the time screen. So, lets see the continuity of the route which like the amusement arena of a certain god. Poor all of the classmate, but still. Fight on, Kumoko!

This ... actually raises more questions.
OK, I will wave it away as this is either a main point of the story or is done for sake of familiarity.

Damn, that was excellent. Best episode so far.

I have come to appreciate the human characters more during the previous and this episode, finally adding some depth to them making them more interesting.

Amazing battle with that fire dragon, Dragon God and Administrator D's meeting, that part when she says all that's happening is basically for her entertainment, and Kumoko's face upon hearing that; the demon lord scheming; Shun's reaction when he got the Hero title... all perfect.

She didn't come to this world first. They are all reincarnated at the same time. It's just that it takes spiders a few months to hatch, and they can function immediately after being born, while the human side needs years to grow up.

So the two time zone makes sense as I thought.
MC beat the dragon and is almost at the next evolution.
The teleporting guy is actually former demon lord, seems like from the conversation Demon Lord is MC.
The whole admin is a mystery for the future I guess.

(I forgot about this series since ep 7)

But that Admin D... literally did the iRL hanging up the phone on Kumo. LOL

(also, fking Smart Phone... Admin D be breaking 5th wall) (since from the hint, she's most likely also from Earth, obviously Smart Phone. But not sure if she was a God on Earth or someone that also got reincarnated as a God in this Isekai world)

Wait, so does this mean the MC is 15 years in the past? Or does it just mean the MC has been taking that long to get to where she is now? Cause if that whole egg thing and web stuff happened before the other guys were even around that means spider MC has been around for quite a long time.

This episode makes it clear the stuff with MC takes place 15 years ago in the past which makes a lot of sense. It really makes me curious with the MC is up to these days. Although this episode did strongly hint that the demon lord is the MC.

I actually feel really bad for Shun at the end. Poor guy is in complete shock.

yup, some of the reincarnate *are* demons. and they're attacking their former classmates anyways. wtf

i don't get why this kid cared so much about his "brother". it wasn't his brother. he'd only known him for what, a few months maybe? (EDIT: the anime clears this up later...like 10 episodes later. so it does eventually make sense, but it wasn't portrayed well initially. that or i wasn't paying attention earlier)

not sure but i don't think either the demon that teleported to spider girl's location or the demon "administrator" were part of that demon war council (i know they implied earlier that spider girl is living 15 years before the "human v demon" timeline that's about to go to war)

Knowing Kumoko's plotline started 15 years before the human plotline makes it even more impressive how she survived while the others led a more fortunate lives in the meantime.

The demon lord seems obviously similiar to Kumoko with her webbing and abyssal magic but personality-wise not.

There's a shot towards the end of the opening theme showing Shun grasping a scarf and crying which made it pretty obvious that his brother was going to die (why else would he cry like that given his background?).

I didn't like that being spoiled, so I'm sort of glad his death wasn't really meant to be shocking.

Skip the second opening, he contains heavy spoilers (at least until you watched episode 16).

It's Amazing, also i think it's very underappreciated i mean i suppose people don't think that i would be great cause of the whole spider thing BUT YOUR WRONG its one of my favourite anime out there and I'm really begging for a season 2 which i don't often feel that way when there hasn't been any response on one but for this one im literally going to lose it if they say there's no season 2.

Were the silks that they retrieved belong to our MC? If that's so, does that mean the academy POV is 15 years ahead of the spider POV??

The demon lord has the same skills as our spider MC, and something about her just resembles a spider. It'd be cool if it turns out to be our MC, but that's far fetched.

so are we watching the past when the screen on Kumoko and the future is when we see Yamada and his friends ?

so we are watching two timelines from 2 pov.
