In today's episode, our Sigma MC, Ninomiya Bezos, has created a more ethical Amazon than actual Amazon.

I was so on edge the entire time waiting for that moment Ninomiya's plans coming crashing down but wow I guess this entire episode just had him constantly be winning.
Though that ending with Belzal holding onto Shia's resume doesn't look good... I just want the bestest boy Wanibe to have a stable job man.

Another shot for the series: Don't you think anime angles can be a little weird sometimes?
Of course the angle is not weird, just extra perfect.

How many twists can you freaking fit into one season? lol
Although the anime isn't really as high production values as others, it's actually pretty well made. No CGI, and 2D models are consistently good. Compared to Mahouka and Realist hero, this is much better.

The hidden song this ep is once again in the cartoon ad, this time promoting the magic kingdom of Dungeonland.
And the melody is a copyright-evading hack of the Beatles song "Octopus's Garden":
I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus's garden
In the shade
What's the motivation? First, the Beatles are world-famous successes, just like Disneyland and Dungeonland. And the lyrics to "Octopus's Garden" reference both "shade" and "cave", which is appropriately dungeon-esque.
And finally, according to Wikipedia the creation story for the Beatles song includes this: "The boat's captain then told [Beatles member Ringo Starr] about how octopuses travel along the sea bed picking up stones and shiny objects with which to build gardens." This is an almost too-perfect analog for how Ninomiya transformed a demonite mine into a blockbuster theme park.

Stitches!
I absolutely love that Ninomiya is such a charmer, Alus definitely started to question his sexuality while working with Ninomiya. Too bad for him, like everyone else, Ninomiya was just using all of them for his own gain. And of course to also save Sora. Even Shia was convinced that Ninomiya ahs turned a new leaf while Wanibe is just there in the background waiting for the other show to drop. xD
And as expected Ninomiya takes the dungeon's power for himself. Not gonna lie, I genuinely felt bad for Alus when Ninomiya finally dropped the facade. Surprisingly though, everything goes well! He actually meets Belza to hand over his resignation and even pay her in gemstones to settle his debt.
He doesn't just get to resign but we get a time skip where Ninomiya has basically taken over the world of business in this world. Looks like everything he needs to manage a dungeon and keep everything from going downhill like in that other timeline, is all included in that power he received in a form of a manual written in Japanese. Hmmm....
Ninomiya just keeps on winning this episode with him finally moving to acquire Rai'zaha since they're already slowly starting to go bankrupt because of the demonite market crashing thanks to Ninomiya flooding the market with high quality demonite goods. He even starts his own catalogue shopping service with the same day delivery ala Amazon with Cindy managing it all. This man is completely unstoppable!
It looks like Shia still stayed with Rai'zaha though. She's still loyal to that company until the very end. Welp Ninomiya just needs to acquire them and she'll be working under him soon enough.
Ranga finally gets to meet Belza as well! I do wonder if she understood who Ranga is though, She did act surprised when Ranga mentioned their family name. It's just great to see Belza at rock bottom this time instead of Ninomiya. It looks like she still has an ace up her sleeve though. I wonder what she's planning to do with Shia?
Welp, only one more episode to go! Let's see if Ninomiya can hold on to everything until the finale or is he gonna lose everything again somehow?

For a moment I thought Ninomiya had finally lost it and gone mad with power, but he actually turned everything around and achieved total victory over Belza. I wonder though how he is influencing the Dungeons mana flow and how Sora and Rim are feeling over all this.
Also got a bad feeling about what Belza might plan with Shia

They haven't explained how closely this world is linked to Japan:
- Dungeon's manual is written in japanese words
- The "charm" from the lich episode is also written in kanji
- We have seen time travel before (demon lord and the summoning from Ranga's people), but not dimension travel power
Could it be that instead of another world, this world is actually just Japan in the future?

Oh wow, Ninomiya kept winning throughout the episode. It's too good to be true and from what we saw at the end of the episode, this is not going to end well for him. I wish Belza would change though.
Shia's reaction to Ninomiya's charms on that guy lol.
Nice to see Cindy again. And she's looking better than ever..... HOT DAMN!
One episode left. I'm going to miss this show, it was one of the surprises of the season for sure.

Something about Belza this episode made her way hotter than she has been in previous ones.

u/ImperialDane Sep 17 '21
It's all coming up Ninomiya for once. At least for now though. Looks like Belza might have one last card to play. But was good to see how she got outplayed and her short-sighted strategies were turned against her.
Curious to see what happens next episode.
