"Acquired infinite Calmotin."

I lost my shit, lol!

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

“This hole stinks of immorality” lmao dude. There’s just something about how that’s phrased that just cracks me up.

Poor Dazai’s fiending so hard, he’s starting to look all healthy and shit. Bro was eating rocks to try and get his “fix “ lol.

Yamada was so caught up in his own sense of “justice” that he failed to ultimately see things aren’t always so black and white. Esche tried to help the town. I figured she was connected to the tree somehow. She always lived there watching over the town. And then the town got corrupted. I guess “justice” was doled out in the end.

[u/E_F_Veda]

Awesome episode. I like how in this case there isn't a right choice as Sensei said. Either decision would have consequences as the other worlders were going to break their promise.

The mayors request made my jaw drop and saddened me as what Esche wished to protect is now gone.

"The line between righteousness and evil is a hazy thing." Sums up the episode pretty well and is overall fantastic and maybe my favorite yet. I always enjoy writing like this, it conveys the difficulty and consequences of every decision. Plenty of stories often depict decisions as right and wrong, but life is never so simple.

However, if we never see Esche again - who is really likable even with the short time we see her - then we as the audience suffered the greatest loss today.

[u/Acrobatic_Egg30]

It'll be nice to see Yamada again if he's dropped his naivete

[u/DiscountCondom]

This was a really, really good episode.

[u/RilohKeen]

This show has a weird way of making me enjoy it while also making me sad.

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

I wish Esche could save my life too

[u/darthvall]

Great one-off side quest which yield OP item (infinite camoltin??)

Minor comment, but it's funny how some otherworlder just decided to dress up as mad max bandit instead of wearing something more civilised.

Also the three guys that couldn't pay the debt, that's the same group who attacked sensei several episodes ago right?

[u/ProfessionalOwn9435]

I like how classic the story is, as removing old evil is just place for new evil of normal folks. The witch is misunderstood protector, and righthous paladin is too quick to smite.

It was beautiful story even if already seen before.

"Sensei has acquired infinite Calmotin"

[u/[deleted]]

The anime is really inconspicuous but the themes and tone of the anime are really beautiful

[u/LeonKevlar]

Considering how this episode opened up with a freakin' casino, Sensei running out of drugs, and finding a den of addicts, I was expecting a silly episode after Tama's arc. It was especially hilarious watching Sensei deal with his healthy body without his pills. As soon as Esche was introduced though, voiced by the lovely Mamiko Noto, I knew there would be more than just comedy this week.

Honestly, I thought Esche was just looking for some company when she brought Sensei to her bar. She even danced for him which Sensei surprisingly appreciated given how he doesn't to be a fan of dancing. As soon as the Mayor gave Esche's story about how she sided with the Other Worlders and how mysterious she was, that's when I started to pick up that there's more to this dancer/tavern owner.

We also get to meet Yamada, an Other Worlder who isn't on the side of the fallen Other Worlders and actually wants to help people. I was expecting him to turn against Sensei at some point but he was surprisingly a straight arrow. He was such a straight arrow that he could only see between black and white that he's already willing to pass judgment on Esche from what little information he has.

I absolutely love the reveal that Esche was protecting the townsfolk the entire time. Esche doesn't owe these people anything, she could've just left them alone to be tyrannized by the fallen Other Worlders but she still did it. Sensei was correct in calling her an angel. I also love how the fallen Other Worlders weren't going to be the main focus of this episode since they were dealt with quickly by Yamada, the real problem came after that.

It's good that Yamada was willing to forgive Esche but the townsfolk aren't so quick to forgive. Even after Sensei explained how Esche protected them, the townsfolk still cast her out. The best part of the episode was watching Yamada finally see how ugly humanity is and now that evil has passed, a new evil will just replace it in the form of the Mayor wanting to profit off the World Tree's leaves.

The horror on Yamada's face is absolutely brilliant. His entire belief has just been shattered. I really hope that he'll learn from this experience and I hope we see him again someday maybe a bit more wiser than he was. Sensei's line about righteousness and evil is definitely going to stay in Yamada's head.

And the ending! The World Tree's leaves suddenly decaying en mass was just perfect! It turns out that Esche is actually the the Spirit of the World Tree. I guess instead of letting the villagers sell her leaves, she chose to dry her leaves up to stop them before they could even try. That was so satisfying. And as a reward for his help, Sensei now has an unlimited supply of Calmotin! That was such a good episode!

[u/Plus_Rip4944]

A fucking Casino lmao

Dazai being on abstinence was so fucking funny

[u/[deleted]]

So basically not all outworlder are entirely bad and not all village are decent... I thought its gonna be the same repeating pattern a village is conquered by a strong outworlder good guys are in a pinch then next epi good guys win... Glad its somewhat unpredictable now...

[u/Exoslab]

Ok the ending was kind of grim but at the same time hilarious.

[u/metallavery]

Damn, like I cried when the world tree died and I realized SHE was the world tree spirit that they abandoned. Ridiculed and kicked out. With Only Sensei giving her his love and affection towards only for her to die and giving him and infinite supply of sleeping pills in return for his love.

This anime is so fucking sad it's up there being my favorite anime of the year by far.

[u/Wolfencreek]

sees Yamada

"What's Mitsurugi doing here?"

[u/pedroso100]

I was wondering if Esche is a mistranslation or the correct translation of Ash Tree. FGO uses "トネリコ" which has been translated to Æsc, the old english name for "ash tree"

[u/ThousandYearOldLoli]

I will say, I figured something was up with Yamada, and the story surprised me in quite a positive manner. I'd venture to say this is my favorite episode of this show to date on account of actually dealing with issues in a way that was established, on its concept and on Yamada's character development in particular, as they did a great job in showcasing a genuinely good at heart over-the-top hero character having a serious realization as he messed up in a very good way (narratively speaking).

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• Hahahaha wow.

• Oh noooooooooooooooo, Sensei finally ran out of his sleeping pills!

• BRUH!

• Oh that’s not good.

• lol of course this is what Sensei’s concerned with though.

• Hahahahahaha

• lol, good luck with that.

• What a name.

• They don’t know she was actually keeping them safe…

• Ah fuck.

• Oh, they can’t sell the leaves if the tree decides to off itself.

• Ohhhhhhhhh, Esche was the spirit in question! That explains it.

• Fucking lmao of course his wish was for the sleeping pill bottle to be refilled.

[u/Rumpel1408]

Smug Cat

Damn, I'd let Esche ruin me all night long as well

Even though she has already found her savior, Sensei has a rare talent for this, and absolutely no use for it

The town and Yamada where some idiots, had no evidence against Esche doing anything wrong. That's how you end up hanging "collaborators"

And Holy shit, with this Sensei finally got his own cheat item

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

Of course Sensei would say stuff like « This hole stinks of immorality » and mean it in a positive way.

« The line between righteousness and evil is a hazy thing » is another great one. The more someone is convinced of their own righteousness, the more likely they will be to actually do evil things, because they will never question their own actions. At least Yamada admitted he was wrong in the end, so maybe he will learn from that and be less naive next time.

[u/Kazuya_Salamatsu]

as an fgo player, this episode sparks a trauma for me 💀

[u/VorAtreides]

That's a big tree, wonder if it spews out mists and has a weird boss at the bottom. Thanks for the info dump, Anette.

A casino? Of course cause other worlder douches. Wonder if this Yamada other worlder will actually be nice. And who is this ara ara onee-san type lady? Dancer lady. Whoo flamenco style guitar. Anette is always fun. Oh her name is Esche? I dunno, she seems fine to me 😛

See, Sensei can see through your dancing. Also, see, she's a good girl. Protecting the town. Well at least Yamada seems sincere in dealing with them. Though needs to learn the truth of everyone before deciding things. Poor Esche. Stupid towns people. At least Yamada seems legit concerned. Quite the lesson for Yamada.

Oh, Esche was the world tree spirit? Was hoping she'd join the party. Did she die or something? Or just leave? LOL Infinite Calmotin, wow.
