THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Is there a limit of how much Kumoko can evolve? That's another growth this episode.

Strangely enough, it seems she isn't too pleased about it. On the other hand, it's interesting that there's more revealed about that fictional world. Every episode seems to have hidden truths just waiting to be discovered. And at this point, I got used to the CGI in this anime so it didn't bother me much this episode.

Loved the episode. The taboo images were great. Excited to see what anime-onlys think of that.

Probably my favourite anime of the season, if it wasn't for the hero part it would have a higher score, even with the lame CGI.

Pretty fun episode. I was starting to lose patience with Kumoko for doing all that talking instead of just killing the hornets lmao.

So, I didn’t understand it last week, but I’m guessing she was the monster that they faced in the tunnel last week?? The one that made the old guy and his comrades retreat. I was under the impression that flashback was years ago, which confused me.

It was years ago. Remember that Kumoko can act immediately after being hatched, but the humans need years to grow up.

Wait Kumoko isn't the demon lord but that white girl right? I don't know if I'm dumb but it really looks like that for me.
Actually really liked the training and wasps fight, too bad that some monsters (like dragon and snake) are looking pretty bad because of the CGI, it looks like they're plastic to be honest, well now it's time for Kumoko vs Dragon, it's gonna be great

Both are albinos, both apparently use the rare rot attribute but perhaps Kumoko is simply her grandmother?

Gotta grind those levels before you can take on the big boys. Kumoko evolving last episode getting all that information flooded into her head. All about the truth of this world how things are headed to a bad end, she's gotta get out of this cave and do something about that. Overcoming her trauma will be a big step in that direction, which means facing off against the terrifying earth dragon we saw a few episodes back. That gets us back to the topic of grinding levels, Kumoko going around fighting some monsters like more frogs and those hornets. That part with them stinging her over and over made me laugh, damn things kept interrupting her sentences. She did get them all though which is good. Now to face the earth dragon himself!

Kumoko's becoming more inhuman, she's enjoying violance and strength. Also she found out the secrets of this world and I'm really curious to know em but it's proly gonna be a while before it's revealed to us.

So according to Hyrince, Julius died by Rot magic. There wasn't even a deadbody cause rot magic destroys everything. So uh Kumoko can use rot magic too. Does that mean that girl was Kumoko? Thou I don't think Julius is dead cause Hyrince is suspicious and he might be telling a false story.

Fei formed a pact with Schlain. And Kumoko wanted to defeat Araba, the earth dragon. But, just by looking at his power, she got overwhelmed. But, that changes everything now, since I'm assuming that was Kumoko who killed Julius. So, will he come after Kumoko now?
Whereas in the past, Kumoko keeps grinding her levels. She's getting stronger with every episode. I wonder how things will turn out as the story progresses.

I'm a bit confused, the white demon who kill the hero is Kumoko in the present right?

Noticed she survivor, thanks to the phoenix feather, speaking about white chick used rot skills and then the scene back to Kumoko in the past using rot skills, animators like to joke about such things eh? :D

Believe her future form was 50% monster and 50% human, but not 100% human. I'm a bit disappointed is she is her, monster form was so badass.

Interesting short backstory about the world. So you need to max out Taboo skill to know all of this. So are the humans killing those with Taboo skill to hide this information?

Is Kumoko the girl in white? And here I thought she was the Demond Lord. The studio really likes the play with the viewers. Is the WN/LN like that as well, to the source readers.

Kumoko is becoming more of a monster with that massacre lol. Now she has to take down Araba, the earth dragon which I'm looking forward to.

ooh this was a pretty nice episode, lots of buildup to the fight and cant wait to see how that goes down next week!. also, some cool stuff for the shun and it'd be cool to find out who that white girl who killed the hero julius is as well. also, kumoko is still "no name", wonder whe she'll get an actual name?

skipped all the parts of ganeric-isekai-male-with-a-harem-and-his-dramas. lol

nice to see some Alaba and Kumoko action. That surprise gravity attack by the giant snake is strong too, but Alaba is simply better than him at fighting.

looking forward to next week!

After seeing how the dragon massacred that snake, I can see she's starting to change on the inside, aspiring to have that level of power kinda makes me understand the Kumoko of the present time line.

Not sure if I should believe that white girl was Kumoko or if it's another bait by author/studio. I kinda want it to be her tbh.

CGI was painful again. I hope the big fight (next episode?) at least has some nice moves, even if CGI.

The light novel and web novel have a lot of differences, and this anime is adapting the light novel, but you should be able to make sense out of most of it I guess.

Another good episode I am really enjoying this adaptation. Episodes feel like 5 mins not 25. Feel like they have managed to get the mixing of time line like in LN spot on.

I was shocked to see Kumo-san having more HP than Araba. But why is she even trying to kill Araba after he spared her twice already. But this episode was great.

One lengthy post in a website's comment section about last episode's 3-tiered timeline (of Kumoko, the Humans and the Demons), and the Taboo Lv. 10 itself is a BIG SPOILERY POINT for LN readers who know what's going on. This is basically like Promised Neverland skipping the Goldy Pond arc, and this show doing the exact opposite.

The adventures of Kumoko in the dungeon Stratums aren't getting any batter for constant bloodbaths between monsters, what a cruel world...but even more so is the Human world with this "white girl" (which is Kumoko in the present day, if the last episode wasn't hinting at facts strewn all over).

The studious sessions of understanding Kumoko a.k.a No Name's increasing abilities of skills, sure that could be seen as the constant one-off, as is with the usual fending off of low-level monsters, except the Earth Dragon Araba.

Indeed, there's a lot to take in for these past 2 episodes for diverging and converging timelines, and it only makes the puzzle piecing more thoughtful about skipped events.

oooh the WN is much much worse lol
The contents of Tabboo weren't shown until much later, I'm actually disappointed that they showed even fractions of it. For us it was like, Kumoko got super pissed and decided to do something about it and only at the point where she would have a small chance of actually doing something about it that we got part of the info that was in taboo. Also, the info that it was two different timelines and crucial hints of where/who is Kumoko in the future where given much sooner in the anime.

About your first question, that is a good guess, but to know you have to hide it you have to know what you're hidding, right? It's kind of contradictory...



Anyway, I'm glad the wasps are here! they should have been introduced sooner, but I'm glad that at least Kumoko getting stabbed stayed, it's a shame that they'll skip her fight against the other two dragons tho....

And to all of you anime onlies, welcome to the plot! It only took 11 episodes to get here lol
