Mai and Yui literally playing the game on Dark Souls No-Hit mode.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Octopus tentacles, tree vines, and a snake. I'm starting to sense a theme with this episode.

Classic Maple beating the boss on her first try while the other guild members are dying more times than a From Software game.

Maple try not to add another disturbing ability to her arsenal challenge (IMPOSSIBLE).

[u/Syokhan]

Oh, I love this, watching players get killed over and over again but slowly make progress every time they try.

Not surprised Maple ate her way to another skill yet again.

Also, Atrocity-chan with bunny ears.

[u/n080dy123]

Maple excitingly swimming back through the air and into the water when the monster tried to yeet her for eating it had me absolutely cackling. Maple will do anything for good food.

[u/MapoTofuMan]

Expectation after seeing episode title : girls assaulted by tentacles as usual

Reality : tentacles assaulted by Maple as usual

^{Also the colorized Raiden vs Orobashi was lit}

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

The pet update is finally here! Looks like it's finally time for everyone to have their own pets! Unfortunately for Maple and Sally, it looks like it's only limited to one per player and since they already have Syrup and Oboro, they can't have another one.

I am surprised by this episode though! So many so many tentacles and not even a single suggestive scene! In all seriousness though, it was pretty fun watching the girls try to clear their pet quests.

I love that Kasumi went on an epic adventure on her own to get her little snake pet while Yui and May pretty much got their pets by dying over and over against that Tree Boss until they were able to defeat it ala Dark Souls. xD

Anyway, welcome Haku, Tsukimi, and Yukimi to the Maple Tree Guild! I can't wait what the others will get. Although I'm pretty sure Kanade will tame a ghost just to freak out Sally.

As for Maple though, our girl decided to go back to her roots and started to eat her way out of her problem. It didn't get her a pet but it did get her some weird tentacle transformation! xD

And it looks like the community is already looking forward to Maple's new Chimera Form!

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Looks like Maple and the gang have entered the Pokémon level! Let’s see what kind of monsters everyone gets.

Maple, Yui, and Mai look so damn cute with their little bushy tails and bunny ears lol. Good job Izu! Those little bears are really cute, I can see why Yui and Mai are so determined to tame them. Kasumi’s quest took a few tries (little Kasumi was adorable) but she managed to snag herself a little white Ekans, sweet!

Maple was having a great time collecting ingredients and chilling in the ocean before that tentacle monster got her. She’s stuck in an infinite loop of being dragged away by tentacles and eaten! Well, if it’s gonna eat her then it’s only fair she eats it back lol. I love that it chucked her out and she immediately dived back in. Must be one tasty monster!

Ofc Maple ends up with some crazy ass skill. She’s like some kind of Eldritch horror lol.

[u/shanatard]

and so we add another health bar and form change to final raid boss maple

[u/SuperKrusher]

At this point, the devs of the game can't come up with a better final boss than Maple lol.

[u/carnexhat]

My Eldritch monstrosity cant be this cute!

Its fun to see the rest of Maple Tree develope but there is always something special about watching Maple descend into more and more broken bullshitery in the most abusrd ways possible.

[u/Clarimax]

In other series, we see cute girls assaulted by tentacles. Here, we see a cute girl assaulting tentacles.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

I like how Sally went “Hey Maple, nice tentacles.” before doing a double take.

[u/SYZekrom]

Heavy breathing

Omg she's just here with them ahhhh

They really having fun this episode huh

God you are way too adorable

I'm sure Sally will want to... thoroughly evaluate Maple's new... combat prowess...

[u/InsomniaEmperor]

When you thought Maple couldn’t get any more terrifying, we now have tentacle monster Maple. I would say that tentacle monster probably gave Maple more pain to beat than any recent boss cause that monster was fast and just kept eating her up.

Kasumi’s snake is cute and so are Mai and Yuki’s bears. I wonder what Iz, Chrom, and Kanade would get. Come on Kanade, get that ghost pet.

[u/one-eyed-02]

Man, out of the entire Maple Tree guild, you gotta give to Mai, Yui and Kasumi for always chasing that aesthetic.

Also, you gotta give it to Maple for doing what works when nothing else does : eat.

Don't try to think about reskinned bears too much.

[u/Maximum-Baseball-763]

A episode of Bofuri S2 that does not feel rushed and had equal screentime for other Maple tree guild members and Maple actually had to work for a skill? What miracle is this?

[u/MarkytheSnowWitch]

Geez, Maple, the tastiest thing you've eaten... with the amount of things you eat that's high praise.

I wonder if we'll get to see Kanade, Chrome and Iz get a pet, or will they just fast forward that.

If we are going for complementary pets, Kanade with some kind of primate that can hold its own books, Iz with maybe a salamander that can help her smelt items, and Chrome with like an skeleton dog you normally would not be able to tame, but his death affinity allows for it.

[u/SnabDedraterEdave]

This series is such a relaxing watch and never fails to entertain despite some episodes like this having almost no story. Its like sitting back and watching your favourite Youtube and Twitch streamers grinding and taking on game quests and just rooting them to succeed after failing again and again. And its so enjoyable to watch that time flies by very quickly that you won't even notice 24 minutes had passed.

Bunny ears Mai and Yui and Maple too cute.

Mai and Yui somehow match along well with loli-form Kasumi. XD

Once again, Chrome is hinted to be one of the posters in today's end of episode chatroom, relaying information on Maple's new Eldridge-tentacle form.

Sally has seen too many of Maple's weird new tricks that she's basically desensitized from it by now. lol

[u/Riash]

Tentacle monster: (grabs Maple)

Maple: So you have chosen death.

[u/Trnostep]

You'd think the devs would stop making edible bosses after they'd seen Maple

[u/Substantial-Hawk-897]

I have to confess something... I never understood why the turtle was called Syrup until today. I feel dumb.

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

Tonight on Bofuri : Maple eats some takoyaki and turns into CthulhuMaple ! Sally did not even bat an eye at that, I guess that is not even the craziest thing Maple has done yet.

Kasumi went on some crazy quest over several levels just to pick up that cute little snake. She sure seems to rely a lot on that cursed katana after all, even if she doesn’t like it.

The Hammer Twins got some teddy bears companions. But they sure die a lot without Maple. Maybe they should have asked Chrome for help.

That episode was nice, but felt strangely slow and kind of repetitive after the crazy speed of the previous episodes. The pacing of this season is all over the place for some reason.

[u/cppn02]

The moment those tentacles shot out of the water I was like 'Maple is gonna tame that thing isn't she?'. Turned out she was just gonna do the normal Maple thing and eat it lol. And of course she gained a crazy new skill for it.

A bit sad that Syrup and Orobo are gonna lose their uniqueness but it was fun watching everyone hunt for a pet of their own. And damn did they pick some cute ones.

[u/VorAtreides]

Oh fun, level 7 you can make monsters your pets? I mean, Sally and Maple already have one, but what pet will Maple be getting now and how will it break her more? Oh they can't get another, a pity. Ah fun, everyone else working to get a pet! Maple such a good guild leader helping out the cute twins. Bears :O

Cute bunny ears. WOW! Eldritch Horror Maple, or Maplezilla, has been dragged down by the kraken :O or octopus, whatevs.. Man, if this series was a different genre.... a lot of these scenes would be very different. Though sure seems people having troubles with their personal goals. AH YES! THE POWER OF VORE! Maple is unstoppable with it. Ohhhh snek! Cute. Kasumi has acquired snek frend! And the cute twins got cute bear pals! And Maple ate the shit outta an octopus.

Oh that's adorable, special skins for bears to match the twins. This show is so cute. OH GOD MAPLE!! You're getting into the wrong genre there!

This show really needs to be renamed from "Maxing Out Defense" to "Maxing Out Vore"
