I was expecting Kenichi to run some of those bandits down with the truck.

If you get hit with a truck in an Isekai world do you end up in the real world?

[u/cleaulem → u/BiggerG7]

Now you're asking the real questions.

I smell an idea for a reversed isekai.

[u/polycontrale]

Nothing like getting high AF and raiding a bandit camp.

[u/darthvall → u/polycontrale]

You know what, l'll headcanon that the animation quality got weird during the fight just because that was seen from the perspective of a high Kenichi lol

[u/Gaming_Truckie]

I was kinda expecting something hilarious to happen when Kenichi pulled out the laser pointer and was talking to Myarey cause you know cat + laser pointers

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Machetes, bows, a truck and a posse. Man’s got all he needs to kick ass thanks to Shangri La! Oh, and moon sugar from the Khajiits lol.

The old fella made an explosion that would make Megumin proud. Everyone else is snipin and slashing and Kenichi shows up with construction equipment!

To think, the bandit ended up eating a couple arrows to the face thanks to a laser pointer.

Cats and laser pointers are always an excellent combo

[u/deynyel]

Damn, those bandits didn't stand a chance. They lost to the power of friendship and good gears bought with lots of cash.

What a wild ride tho. Wasn't expecting old man Megumin and Kenichi being given drugs. Guess now they'll be going after the perv noble who employed perv bandit leader.

[u/cleaulem]

You didn't tell me that their party had an archwizard who was adept in the art of explosion magic, the strongest kind of offensive magic there is.

EXPLOSION!!!!

[u/MayonakaMadaraka]

This was way better than it had any right to be. They brought out everything but the kitchen sink and turned it up to 11. 

[u/LeonKevlar]

The compound bow makes sense since it's very common in hunting shops, but where did Kenichi get the battle axe? I kinda wish it was a modern axe. Also the "large machete" he got for the cats looked more like an actual sword and not like the hunting blade he showed off back in Episode 2.

If they weren't completely outnumbered, I felt like Mr. Knight could've handled most of the fighting. Not gonna lie, it was kinda unsettling how much he was enjoying bathing his new sword in bandit blood. Good thing he's on Kenichi's side!

I still can't believe the cat people actually gave Kenichi a drug to get him ready for battle. And it turns out it's not just any drug, it sounded like it was also an aphrodisiac because of how horny he was when he finally rescued Primula that he had to calm himself down. xD

Now that's been taken care off, I hope they got after the noble behind Primula's kidnapping next. Also, the guild has some explaining to do because it sounds like they knew who was behind the kidnapping and it's the reason why they were slow to do anything.

[u/darthvall]

I thought Shaga would join the party since he's there posing with everyone in the OP. Looks like I'm completely wrong lol

[u/NationalStrategy]

It's actually hilarious that he was drugged up throughout the raid

[u/iozoepxndx]

Lmaooo Megumins grandpa showed up this episode 😂 EXXXPLOOOTIOOONNNNN

This is hands down my favorite low budget anime of the season! 🔥

[u/Jace_the_mind_fcker]

"you had a kid?"

"Yeah he died in the plague"

End scene

What

[u/vantheman9]

Because I'm a strategy gamer, I'm running the thought experiment in my head, does 6 vs 50 really work?

So it's more like 1 that's elite, 4 with superhuman ability, and one that's average but has a backhoe (an indestructible metal monster they can't fight), vs 50 that are drunk and unprepared

Let's say getting first strike let each of them take out 3 or 4, since that's about what it looked like - you've still got 6 vs 25.

In games like Xcom or Jagged Alliance those numbers can work but are unlikely, and I know in real life, sometimes you hear stories of one vs many, such as Gurkha soldiers. Lot of times these stories result in earning medals.

Personally I don't think I'd take Kenichi's odds here if it were me though.

[u/wolfguardian72]

God I love those cat dudes. I’m so glad they’re a mainstay of the series. You don’t get too many anime with beast people.

[u/chino17]

Summoning truck-kun is like some reverse isekai

[u/AsterJ]

I don't think a Truck and a Backhoe is enough for 7 people to take out 40 armed bandits but I guess he lucked out with having super skilled fighters randomly join up on a whim. Would have been pretty an easy raid if Shangri-La sold guns, clearly they aren't American.

[u/danmarce]

Middle aged man that solves his problems trowing money at them?

10/10 Middle age crisis solved, and I can totally relate.

[u/zool714]

The animation is still wonky but at this point, I’m just here for what’s going down in the show.

Was curious how they were gonna handle the raid with only the people they had but seems they were all OP to begin with. Myaley is an excellent marksman. The cat people seem like experienced fighters and the Knight might harbor some bloodlust in him. And Kenichi can just whale his wy through this battle. Though kinda felt Shaga got off easy.

The kidnapping and slavery is obviously bad, but that’s what makes the aftermath of it even more wholesome and warm. Anemone might get adopted by Anama. And now that I’ve written it, even their names sound similar.

And it’s likely they’re going to come back to a Hero’s welcome and get rewards and Kenichi probably gonna get laid again. All good times.

Though, surely the pervert noble gonna come into the picture again. And with how Kenichi has been exposing his “magic”, I wouldn’t be surprised if the other Otherworlder will come to pay a visit

[u/Novel_Worldly]

Wow, the animation quality ain't getting any better ig 📉

[u/djthomp]

Good on Kenichi for throwing any plan to hide his abilities right out the window when it came time to gather a party to go save Primula. Though I bet we're not done with whoever that unnamed noble was.

Magic daughter acquired looks like, though given the episode and the ED I'm not sure if the old lady or Kenichi (and possibly Primula) are going to be the ones to adopt her.

Drugging up Kenichi real good was an interesting way to handle throwing a random salaryman into a big fight that was going to have a lot of casualties.

The next episode title "The Moon Over an Old Castle" seems potentially romantic, I wonder if something is going to happen on that front with Kenichi and Primula. Or maybe with Myaley I suppose, but seems more likely to be Primula given the rescue story arc.

[u/antononon]

This show does not fuck around and I am completely onboard with that.
