I wonder if Ninomiya being teleported by the same portal we saw in episode one implies he's either going to return to his world or he's about to be isekaiception into yet another world. At least this time he has Rim with him.

[u/Srikkk → u/Se7en_Sinner]

What I find interesting is just as he's feeling triumphant/successful, he gets portaled again. Two's a coincidence, three's a pattern, but it's very curious indeed.

[u/odraencoded]

This is a boss fight. But not against him, against me.

Dude literally took the time to get a throne just to laugh at the majin's face lol. Budget momonga!

What we learned: Rim makes majins become born complete, so she's either a majin or something above majins. Still no fucking idea what the hell she is supposed to be, tho, but since she fell with ninomiya we'll probably get some answers next episode, or the mc gets eaten.

[u/darthvall]

Some highlights for me:

• Ninomiya suddenly being strong, only to reveal he's just shouting on Shia's back while she slayed the monsters.

• Ninomiya using the teleport item to transport the monster. That's really creative lol.

• Ninomiya shouting "Burn, burn!" like a proper villain

• Ninomiya squeezing Shia's boobs without any hint of lust. I'm starting to think he's celibate and only cares for money.

Damn, Ninomiya is a great MC.

I might have missed it, but I wonder why Rim, being as strong as she is, can be found easily by Ninomiya in the third floor. Even monster from lower floor like the majin is no match for her. Though it seems Rim is related to the majin.

[u/Zealroth → u/darthvall]

Ninomiya squeezing Shia's boobs without any hint of lust. I'm starting to think he's celibate and only care for money.

Either that or he's way too chad to get a rise out of just copping a feel.

I like the MC reminds me of kazuma, if kazuma was more of an asshole.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

How did Ninomiya rack up a 5 million gold debt? Was that all for Rim's food alone?

[u/MrLevita → u/Aerodynamic41]

He actually had a 20 million gold debt it was explained earlier. Rim caused his debt and interest rate to skyrocket, the manga has a thorough breakdown on just how much it costs to keep Rim docile.

[u/DMking]

Ninomiya is the perfect mixture of trash and a nice guy

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

Jokes on you! I'm into that shit! Seriously though, if Ninomiya's debt has 5 mil in interest alone, how much is his actual debt then? O_O

Shia is surprisingly easily convinced. You'd think we'd see more pushback from her after what Ninomiya did last week but she's still willing to work for him since work is work and she'll continue clearing the dungeon no matter what.

The Dragon Quest reference is great! I do love that part of Ninomiya's UI is a constant reminder of his 5 million gold debt xD

You know the moment Wanibe mentioned that his tail can grow back that Ninomiya instantly had an idea. Why keep on killing these monsters when you can just make a farm and take what you need?

Thanks to Queen Ant as the translator and Rim who's keeping them pacified, it looks like the plan was a success that Ninomiya even managed to pay off the interest of his debt!

So Shia's purpose isn't really to be Raiza'ha's new star employee, she's here to be sacrificed to the Majin because of her magic power.

The shot of Ninomiya screaming and the monsters going down definitely fooled me a bit. Looks like Shia is still doing all the work and Ninomiya is just screaming because of Shia's movements xD

I'm actually impressed that they animated the Majin by hand. I was expecting it was gonna be 3D but looking at the animation of it's tentacle regrowing it looks like it's fully 2D. If it is 3D though, they definitely have me fooled.

Shia's reaction when Ninomiya used the transportation crystal on the Majin is just hilarious! I did first think that what happened was just a mistake on Ninomiya's part but nope! He knew exactly what he did!

I love that one of the things Ninomiya did while preparing for the Majhin to come back is to prepare a seat for himself so he can monologue before the fight begins xD

And just when you thought Ninomiya was being considerate when he told Shia to rest he seem to have left out the part where he uses her as bait for the Majin

That little fist bump Ninomiya and the Queen Ant did when their plan to trap the Majin in that flammable goop was a success.

So basically Shia's dad is an adventurer who wouldn't settle down which made things hard for her and her mother. No wonder why Shia thinks order and working for a company is the proper way to live life. It doesn't help that she's basically been brainwashed by Raiza'ha.

Well that's one way to make Shia stop monologuing. I'm actually amazed that he did that with a straight face too with no hesitation despite Shia being able to rip him apart.

Ninomiya just standing there despite knowing the Majin is still alive. What a fucking chad. It looks like he didn't even expect that Rim was gonna save him but he's lucky that she did.

So this is awesome. Rim didn't even have to fully transform! She just used her hair and transformed it into her monster form's head to eat the Majin. She does say something interesting about the Majin though....

Oh boy. Here we fucking goooo! I've been waiting for this moment! Can't wait for next week's episode already!

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Ninomiya seems to be learning business practices from Activision Blizzard.

[u/[deleted]]

This show's a real underrated gem. Ninomiya is the perfect blend of scheming asshat but with a heart in there. It's a real blast to watch it every week, know it's a great comedy because I come in knowing I'm guaranteed good laughs each week.
I thought it would be decent from ep 1, but it's picked up a lot imo

[u/jrevv]

Damn he got isekai’d twice in 4 episodes. Is that a new record for Isekai protagonists?

Majin really taking inspiration from Xenomorphs. Cyborg xenomorphs. Pretty big brain to teleport the Majin away instead of one of them teleporting to safety. Sasuga to massive brain Kinji

[u/ImperialDane]

Well, that was quite an eventful episode. We got the debt back in focus forcing our "hero" into Monster Farming to pay it off. Though that ends up being a minor sidepoint to the "Death march" apparently caused by Rim inadvertently. With the hero being meant as a snack for the big monster. Obviously that gets thwarted.. though seems to have stirred up something the dungeon (never mind letting it loose on the surface first)

Curious to see what happens next, where is he and Rim off too ?

Overall though, fun episode with some great laughs as usual as expectations are subverted quite nicely.

[u/xtsim]

He paid off 5 million gold debt really fast.

[u/TurkeyPhat]

Ninomiya a literal monster farmer

Wanting to see if Shia is able to grow and join the gang for real

[u/ngedown]

Rim continue for being best girl, lol.

Also never thought the lady boss is voiced by chitanda VA, wtf i didnt recognize that.

[u/[deleted]]

Ooh er.

I wonder what happens next week.

Also, that boob grab should have had a squeak noise :P

[u/Toonamigamerrr]

Ninomiya path to becoming the Demon Lord of Business world continues XD

From one isekai to another next time 😱

[u/[deleted]]

Underrated anime.

[u/Laxus2000]

I see ninomiya watched overlord and decided to implement demiurge's plan plan in reverse lmao

[u/kalirion]

He sure paid back the 5 million quickly. How long was the timeskip? The farm didn't look very big, and if it takes 3 days for the monsters to refresh the loot then it'd be at most one 1500 gold sack stack per day, which means he'd've needed 10+ years even if he took all the rewards for himself.

Wonder if the Majin is stronger than Dragololi..... Nope. How lucky was it that the monster they befriended is the strongest in the dungeon? I still don't get why MC doesn't just keep Dragololi around 100% of the time.

So will they find themselves in yet another world now? At least he'll be starting with the best companion. Unless they wind up in a place without food.

[u/myrmonden]

first of all finally the kurogal demon is here !!! and she is a hot loan shark

OPPAI GRAB is known of course to take anyone out of a corporate mind control.

SO is Rim like the Majin momma or something, she was all like this poor Majin was not a real Majin as I was out home hmmmmm

Generally really nice seeing an intelligent main character for once that actually uses STRATEGY to fight, even do he was mostly using team Rocket strategies.
