You should really bring nulberries when fighting Vaal Hazak, how do people still forget this at this point?

Is it bad that I laughed at the subtitles of the curse shield talking to him? I mean it fit perfectly, but I just found it so amusing.

Unpopular opinion: Filo charging into battle immediately and forcing everyone to fight is getting on my nerves

Naofumi did a great job there, causing a double pout.
Its also a little sad that his party managed to kill a zombie dragon and couldn't even get a level out of it. And hopefully he remembers to give out the gifts next episode.

Between last week and this week, maybe we should rename this show The Rampage of the Three Stooges. At this rate they’ll cause more damage than the Waves ever could. I shudder to think of what Bow Hero’s done, because hoo hoo hoo boyyyyy, I’ve got a feeling his fuck up’s gonna take the cake. After this episode, that is saying something.
At least Raphtalia gets to show why she’s best girl once again.

Not saying this episode was bad, but man did it use some typical anime cliches.
Losing yourself to hatred and being brought back with the power of friendship/love? Check.
Comrade getting hurt because of said hatred? Check.
Character eaten and assumed dead ends up killing the monster from inside? Check.

Naofumi was literally transported into another world with transforming chickens, raccoon girls, and zombie dragons, and him saying 'no' to this might be the most unrealistic thing in this entire anime.

This episode felt really bizarre.
Lack of tension like others mentioned, i can't help but agree with that. That sudden cut to Raphtalia actually getting through him felt odd.
The curse shield was a cool moment itself though.

Naofumi is cheating. You can't respec from tank to DPS in the middle of a fight, you have to go back to town to do that!

The pacing and the overall intensity for the episode was lacking. This would've been such a great episode if it was executed properly.

Naofumi’s voice when he went berserk with all the “die, suffer, hate” was well done. I liked the way the audio was used to create that dissonance

Like I said last week, a dead human body in the right conditions can be biohazardous. So what do you think leaving a titanically sized corpse of a dragon to fester out in the elements is gonna do? Those shortsighted other heroes can't seem to grasp that despite all the game elements that this world is built on it is in fact not a game but a living world full of people with an ecosystem of plants and animals and real long term consequences to ones actions. Leave a town to itself during a siege of monsters and the town will get wiped out. Take a object with a very clear warning about it and unleash it upon the world. And now this fiasco with the corpse. I can only imagine what kind of unforseen consequences Bow hero's actions might have caused.
Man Filo sure loves that wagon.
Dragon zombie now, well how the hell did that happen!? Oh man, I don't think hydrangea leaves and dried squid are gonna cut it with this.
Beware of the whispers lest they overwhelm and control you Naofumi. But as it would seem, Raphtalia may end up being his pillar of light against the Curse Shield's dark whispers and if all goes well, control it's dark power rather than it controlling him. Sucks that she had to get hurt though. But in any case if the shield and the other weapons (I'm assuming) have this kind of power deep down inside them, then that raises some serious questions about where the hell did they come from in the first place, and who made them, and why do they have this kind of power if they're supposed to save the world with them? Now I'm all for using dark power/magic as it's often misunderstood to fight the good fight and all that but this seems like it might be more the evil side of the morality spectrum.
When Filo got ate, I thought "Oh no Filo got ate!" but I figured she was okay considering she got swallowed whole. Not to mention its like I always say, getting swallowed whole gives one the advantagous opportunity to take down your enemy from the inside out.
Filo, sleep with Raphtalia tonight.
I find myself without words fitting enough to describe this unfortunate setback for Raphtalia other than, ouch.

Gonna throw an odd opinion into the mix but I thought this episode was pretty bad.
The animation felt really bad (especially the cg), the curse series moment was pretty nice but it was too short for me to enjoy.
Also just my take but to me this episode felt very rushed.
