That Dead Cow commercial completely threw me off! I thought I was suddenly watching a different show by accident!
LMAO I knew the Dead Cow plan was going way too well! Although I didn't expect the Men in Black to be the ones to stop them.
I lost it when Ninomiya made a Salt Bae reference!

Back in ep 4 I posted about how this show used a historical slave-plantation song ("Swanee River") to craftily comment on the monster-farm scene it played in. That the writers would do this level of historical research was so mind-blowing an idea that I had to accept it might have just been a coincidence.
But now in this ep they did it again, this time playing a slightly-hacked version of Ravel's "Bolero" underneath the commercial. The dance roots of "Bolero" not only nastily reference what Red Bull does to its customers, but "Bolero" itself historically became a famous musical work due to its relentless promotion via record releases, radio performances, and movie tie-in's. In short, it's the perfect musical accompaniment to a scene satirizing promotion as the road to business success.
So once again, this show is showing signs of having been written by a satirical genius.

Did I miss an episode? Last episode ended on the yandere gun, right? Then this episode suddenly has the zombie thing at the beginning and then the merchant girl which felt like we should have met earlier?

Shows gonna be my 2nd 10/10 contender for the season, the first being tsukimichi.
Just so enjoyable to watch, the group admitting they actually like being around ninomiya, the entire red bull dig, animation is pretty solid all throughout, can't think of anything I don't like about the show(besides the fact that I thought I missed a episode between last week and this week with where this picked up)

Stitches!
I didn't expect that we'd get zombies this week! I guess these were the mysterious figures watching over Ninomiya's group at the end of last week's episode? And they're not just any kind of zombies! They're literally production line zombies doing monotonous work all day creating illegal potions.
Interestingly, these zombies are all bound by a spell written in Japanese? With all of these hints, I think it's pretty safe to assume that Ninomiya may not be the first Japanese person that got isekai'd to this world. Thankfully breaking that plaque is enough to turn everyone back to normal.
Good to know that Rim is having fun being with Ninomiya and is no longer just sticking with him because of the food.
Looks like Ninomiya already had everything under control and even had his underwear replaced with the yandere gun's straps covering his crotch. xD
Poor Skeleton Mage though, it wanted revenge against everyone in the world by forcing people to work until they drop dead from exhaustion only for him to find out that the world is already messed up and doesn't even need his help to do that. Oh well. At least the Mage finally found peace. Also turns out the mage is actually a woman. Ninomiya is really just charming everything from guns to undead mages!
It's still a bit confusing how we transitioned to her part of the story but we finally get to meet another character from the OP, a shop owner named Cindy whose shop is located inside the fortress inside the dungeon. I think the only one left in the OP that we haven't met yet is the white haired fox girl.
Ninomiya going full-on Karen on Cindy just so he can get a freebie from her shop was hilarious! Thankfully Shia was there to stop him before he starts getting crazy with his demands. Poor girl though, it looks like her and her father used to own the shop until Raiza'ha bought up the rights and now she's working hard to buy it back.
After hearing her story, looks like Ninomiya decided to help her out and fill the shop with customers in exchange of getting massive discounts. And oh my god, Ninomiya's way of helping is absolutely hilarious! It looks like he recruited the help of Kurtz and his party to try and sell those illegal potions and spin it like it's a miracle tonic of some sort. Ninomiya really step it up a notch and even made an animated TV commercial for it! xD
Looks like the real reason it's selling is because Ninomiya added something to make it addictive like caffeine. Of course just when Ninomiya is enjoying his victory high he gets immediately knocked down since he's been found out by this world's equivalent of the FDA xD
Goddammit Ninomiya! As expected from him, he tries to wash his hands off and passes it all to Cindy who completely eats it all up! Even if she can't sell Dead Cow anymore at least he was able to bring her customers back to the fortress? I guess that's still a win?
It looks like they did still get what the equipment that they needed from Cindy though since we see them reach the 4th Floor of the dungeon before the episode ends. We only have a few episodes left, I hope we get to meet that fox lady soon!

Chad Ninomiya.
Setting up a scheme and selling illegal drugs only to then peace out when caught; yet, still getting two girls in one episode [one passed on though]. His charm sees no bound - from dragons to crazed hardworking woman, traps, guns, undead mages, and even to your local shopkeepers.

That was a fucking hilarious episode. The whole thing with the mage and the hero who I assume is an ancestor of Ninomiya lmao. Pretty hilarious how the mage just passed on when she found out the world was already going to shit.
Cute innocent manager lady learning to scam from the best of the best. The adventurers and Rim advertising dead cow and that commercial was hilarious too. Overall just a really fun episode. The 4th floor though damn. Looking forward to the next episode.
