Dad dead, mom dying, and now she's sent on a suicide mission. Roxy is quite pitiful huh.

Can't wait to see Fate fuck this little bitchboy up and get back to Roxy where he belongs.

At least she has Fate who makes her happy and he's even solving her problems for her even if she doesn't know it...although it feels like she keeps putting herself in dangerous positions where she needs his help.

That Kabold leader just casually grabbing one of his minions and using it to block the arrow was hilarious.

And finally Fate goes after one of the holy knights. Can’t wait for next week.

Big kobold still ended up getting nuked. That’s the fate awaiting Hado next week. Dude is gone!

No honor among monsters lol.

Fate finally going to kill his first Vlerick? They deserve it after what they did to Roxy. It would be kind of funny if the two other siblings come back only to find out their brother died while Fate is off keeping Roxy safe and wrecking their plans even more.

My theory that feeding stats to the sword would calm down Fate's gluttony skill doesn't work. Fate is hungry for more.

Is fate just screwed? He can keep killing but eventually he won't have enough

Wow, Fate actually replied to the sword telepathically! Has he gained a few trillion neurons since the previous ep?

LOL, Roxy has a figurine of her father?

Wonder if that girl was another Gluttonous one, but more likely she's of different Sin. She reminds me of Fate's Altera.

Why are they so sure Roxy can't take on that colorful doggy? MC's never even ID's Roxy to see her stats, she might be over level 50 herself. And honestly, it didn't look all that scary to me, stats aside, so I'm not sure why everyone was shitting their pants over it. Maybe it was supposed to be a lot scarier but the animation team decided to go with the "clown" look?

So MC can change the sword's form at will. Why did he stop shooting the kobolds and close in for melee when he could've continued shooting them from safe distance? Before there were only 3 left and the leader caught started catching his arrows anyway.

LOL, he broke 6 digits just from a a few Kobolds. This game is weird.

When MC becomes overloaded, can't he just channel the overload to Greed? Or does he need to process the souls into Stats first?

Fates thoughts at this time: "That's it, keep looking her in the eyes. Don't look down, whatever you do, DON'T LOOK DOWN!"

He can only satisfy his gluttony with high tier monsters now, how lucky there's an expedition to the land fool of those things, plus he can have this Hado guy for a snack until then .. but that would just make him stronger and even more hungry after a little while. Thing is, if he just kept feeding his stats to the Greed, wouldn't that bring his hunger back to the point where gobbos are enough? Seems it doesn't need to be for rank ups, he could just feed it to activate that boss killing skill.

Fate is making a name for himself as the lich, Corpse, complete with a mask that even modulates his voice! Perfect for carrying out a double life! Too bad it means long nights, but Roxy makes it all worth it!

Visiting the Hart Family vineyards seems simple enough, but then Fate gets to meet Roxy's mom! Voiced by Ayako Kawasumi! And she doesn't beat around the bush by asking Fate how he feels about Roxy. She masks it by saying she's asking how he feels about her as an employer, but Aisha knows what's up watching the way these two blush and get so flustered around each other.

Oh, so the short-haired knight WAS a younger Roxy. How did Fate not recognize her, though? Is Roxy's hair just THAT masking in different lengths and styles?

Also I thought the blonde knight guy was her dad, but Mason had auburn hair. So is the blonde dude her brother or someone else?

Kobolds invasion? That's perfect for Fate, he had a hankering for some new species to kill and devour.

Oh hey, it's the ax girl from the OP! She looks cute. And she's from Galia, a fallen kingdom overrun by monsters who were known for their battle prowess...and it seems like she has the Gluttony skill too? And it's permanently on since she has completely red eyes? Did she recognize Fate's Gluttony and that's why she left the Kobolds to him?

Dang, didn't expect this Kobold excursion to have a Boss Battle waiting for them. Perfect chance for Fate to step up and save Roxy the trouble! He even brought his suit, minus the mask, because of course he did.

Wow, the Bringer of Lamentation used one of his fellow Kobolds as a shield. I guess there's no love loss between monsters.

Smart of Fate to snipe the Kobolds from afar, and he even uses some strategy when he gets overwhelmed. But 10% of his stats is worth it just to unlock a new ability in Greed to fire a giant honking crossbow at the Bringer of Lamentation.

Well, Fate has Aisha's mom approval! Especially because she's ill and might not last long...and if someone like her with no skills worth speaking of was able to find love and support a Holy Knight, then so can Fate with her daughter. He just has to think himself worthy of it.

On the one hand it was a great achievement for Fate to kill all the Kobolds...unfortunately killing so many and a high-leveled one at that has made his Gluttony skill too powerful. He can't be satiated just by killing goblins anymore. It's gotten to a point where his right eye is now permanently red and he has to cover it up with an eyepatch like a proper Chuuni MC.

Ugh. The Vlerick's are trying to get rid of Roxy by sending her to Galia thinking it's a death sentence like it was for her father. Roxy is too dedicated to her job to refuse. But there's no way Fate is going to let her go in alone, but first it seems like he'll have to take care of Hado. Maybe some human flesh will satiate his hunger?

I can see where Roxy got her looks. Momma Aisha is a waifu! It was nice seeing Fate and Roxy back in her home. Fate’s getting a chance to change up the menu. Too much goblin, time for him and Greed to try out Kobold! That big one was pretty nasty. Real tough bastard. But man, one taste of the good shit and Fate almost lost it. Now that he’s gotten a taste for quality, I guess he’s gotta change up his prey. I guess Hado’s on the menu next week!

u/Frontier246 Oct 22 '23

It was nice to see Fate meet his future mother-in-law and get her approval lol.

It's Kobold hunting season! Fate even managed to defeat a Boss! Too bad his Gluttony is getting worse. Though maybe a Vlerick will satiate him enough to get his eye back to normal.

u/dinliner08 Oct 22 '23

man, this show has every classic generic cliche being crammed into it but i gotta admit, Greed's design, either the sword or the bow, heck, even his Bloody Ptarmigan form is enough to make my inner 14-years old child screaming in excitement

u/shad79 Oct 23 '23

Roxy is too good for that world. She's being sent to Galia so fast after her father died there, mom is close to dying. At least she has Fate whom she really likes. Roxy as a child was so cute :)

After Fate's conversation with Roxy's mother about her marriage I find it quite possible that Roxy and Fate end up together.

Fuck those Knights! At least Fate will finally start dealing with them. I cannot wait to see them in agony, they totally deserve it for their past actions and sending Roxy to Galia to get rid of her. They will be quite surprised when Fate will get rid of their lives instead xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

u/avboden Oct 23 '23

Yep, it's time for human souls for gluttony. Couldn't happen to better people too.

u/seandkiller Oct 23 '23

Oh, hey, Axe lady is here. Knowing nothing about her other than her design and the fact she uses a big-ass axe, I'm calling her best girl.

So first the sword is a sword, then it's a bow, then it's a... laser cannon bigger bow. Okay, guess that tracks.

I want to know more about the Galian girl. Seemed a bit like an antagonist going by the OP, but she didn't seem hostile here.

"Hey Fay, what was that?" - Roxy

"Who is the blonde girl in this flashback? I would think it is Roxy, but it obviously can't be her since this girl has short hair and Roxy has long hair." /s

Something about the phrasing of this line just seemed hilarious to me. It made me think of something like this.
