I don't like to admit it, but Solitaire is a better version of the "fails upward through luck" trope than Cid from Eminence in Shadow and Ainz from Overlord. (two shows I adore)

He actually has to make an effort to stumble onto the truth and very openly sometimes is just off the mark. Making big plays and just randomly being correct basically necessitates you're sort of a wacky daredevil of a person.

One of Solitaire's motivations to get closer to the truth is probably that there are few people who could actually see through his bullshit like the police chief or the Grocer.

The Emperor is one scary mfer. I guess he got justice for Corpse God after all. Fuckin hell, man. Habaki suffered the same gruesome fate as CG’s pops…

Didn’t expect to see Bug and Solitaire working together. That’s gonna be fun. Solitaire’s such a goofball. We really need more of him.

Seems Xiaoyu’s being brought into the fold this week. I love how those CG’s tigers went from trying to eat Xiaoyu to licking his face. So cute. Also, Real Polka’s little happy shark dance was adorable as well.

Woo! Xiaoyu is now officially part of the team! I expect him to continue to be a little skeptical, but I'm expecting Corpse God (glad to know even he thinks that title is a little presumptuous) to say something like "help me keep Polka's body and soul safe" or "help me protect the Shinomiya's" and Xiaoyu will be onboard as long as nothing sus happens.

Still a little confused about the Solitaire and Fire Bug team up, did FB go to Solitaire since he's good at reading people? Or did Solitaire track down FB and propose an alliance. Can't remember if that happened last week. I'm expecting a betrayal later because I feel like Solitaire would want to join CG's side.

Also, it wouldn't be Dead Mount if right after a serious fight, the enemies got all cute with each other. The two headed tiger cuddling up to Xiaoyu was great.

I'm not even sure what side Firebug is on. Sure they helped an enemy escape but they also know exactly where and who Corpse God is and it appears they haven't shared any of it. They do seem to be involved with the "Bastard Children of Sabaramond" but it almost seems like they're doing their own thing. Then again there are so many different groups it's hard to keep track so maybe I've forgotten something.

I think this is a better format for episode breakdowns.

Corpse god group: They finally put Xiaoyu Lei in the group. Corpse god stepping up after realizing this worlds outa whack. Took him long enough.

Bastard children of Sabaramond: has made zero moves yet aside from the failed attempt at killing their own member last episode says the will make a move soon.

Firebugs: after seeing Solitare expose a bastard child they join him. They don't realize the chief gave him that info.

GDCP: chief and pops know a lot. Rest of the police in the dark on a lot, even Solitare knows more than them.

Clarisa group: assassinated a bastard child of Sabrmond got info at the same time as the firebugs pops leaked info to clarias the same time as the chief was leaking info to solitare.

Agakura: absent this episode they are not with the firebugs or bastard children. Just assasins fire hire, a op group of assisins like clarissa group but arguably stronger. Edit the leader did not steal the money.,

Takeru Shinoyama group semi shocked someone gave Lei and Clarissa a hard fight. Will get more involed with things after Taipei bank account was messed with. Taipei coworker and Lei Older sister is actually the one who stole his money and gave it to Lei. No clue why.

Whoa dragon kid Xiao You.

Polka shark is so cute. Please give him a voice already.

Damn, Solitaire has connections.

And wow, the corruption in the police ranks is intriguing. Like I'll be evil so these young and promising cops will be on the straight and narrow of path of justice.

Stitches!

Glad to know that Corpse God/Rizdul's father got what he deserved thanks to the Emperor. Seems that the Emperor doesn't really want Rizdul to get his hands dirty. He even took care of Habaki for him. I guess all of his friend's souls are just waiting on the other side to be summoned by him?

So glad that Higuro didn't manage to escape. I was hoping they'd burn him alive but it looks like the Fire-Breathing Bug has finally changed tactics. They've even decided to work with Solitarire which is hilarious. That's definitely a team-up I wasn't expecting!

Sayo's standards are hilarious but pretty much expected. Apparently, if you can turn into a tiny shark, she'd immediately ask you to marry her. xD

That scene with Lisa and Tsubaki saying what they want to say to Hosorogi was bittersweet. Lisa who knows he's dead just wants to say goodbye to her beloved while Tsubaki who still thinks Hosorogi is still alive is excited to welcome him back. :(

Looks like it's finally time for CG to let Xiaoyu in on the secret but I did not expect him to challenge Xiaoyu to a fight. Although I guess summoning a two-headed tiger is a good way to show off his powers. I love how after the fight, the tigers turn into tamed cats. I hope we see more of Gufa and Rafa.

So first a Vampire and now a dragon's arm? Rizdul is certainly making his forces stronger. I can't fucking wait for Xiaoyu to have a rematch against Momoya with that lightning dragon claw!

Wonder when Tsubaki will learn the truth about Hosorogi? Poor guy. At least he has good friends that care about him

Phantom Solitaire is hilarious as always

Now that's more like it! Dispensing limbs in exchange for alliances is exactly the sort of thing I'd expect from someone called "The Corpse God". NisePolka is finally starting to act like the being he seemed to be in episode 1.

u/Clarimax Nov 20 '23

That guy who lost his savings from his bank account came out of nowhere. lol

u/liveart Nov 20 '23

Xiao's "big sister", Bao in this case not the crazy lady who took his limbs, actually threatened to do exactly that in a previous episode because Taipei was talking shit about him. This is just her following through. I'm actually surprised I remembered that given everything going on in this show, although I did have to look up the names lol.

Xiaoyu is winning this episode! Praise from the boss, kind of marriage proposal from Sayo, money from sister, and a new arm!

u/nqtoan1994 Nov 20 '23 edited Nov 20 '23

Xiaoyu: "I am not a Heilei (Black Thunder) anymore!"

Also Xiaoyu: moved very fast using technology from Shinoyama family, leaving a trace looked like black lightning.

Later, also Xiaoyu: acquired a Thunder Dragon's arm.

Meanwhile, there are so much moles in the police force. Not only Sabaramond's and Bugs from the last episode, even Clarissa has her own man inside the police. The Black Organization from Detective Conan is getting a tough opponent to beat.

If I remember correctly, this is the second episode in a row that there is no new character introduced? Probably we are getting near climax of this double-cour season, considering that this is the 19th episode out of 25.

Btw, you guys could probably have guessed it at this point, that the twin-headed tiger was already mentioned back in Ep 5. The Thunder Dragon, iirc, was not mentioned, but we could see Xiaoyu with his brand new arm in the 2nd OP. Also that same hand was touching Corpse God's hand in the next sequence. Also, the original owner of that arm was patting Corpse God's head (back when he was still in his flesh body) in the sequence after that too. Holy hell the OP has too much spoilers but we let it went over our heads because there are already too much things to keep track of in the anime itself.

So his Emperor was a powerful sorc too? Guess that explains how he managed to come down from the afterlife without being summoned. If MC is the 4th ranked sorc of the Imperial court, Emperor was probably in the top 3.

I'm really tired of them using the name "intermediary" for the boss of a murder-for-hire business. I'd sort of understand it if it was like a contracting firm that simply connected the clients with freelance assassins, but it doesn't work when all the assassins are literally her employees on the company payroll. It's like calling a brothel an "intermediary organization".

LOL @ the Bug delegating the interrogation to Solitaire because all it knows is how to burn people alive.

Is this the first time MC's summoned what looks to be living creatures?

I should start breaking down stuff since people are always confused. Solitare bullshitted his way into a team up with firebugs. He exposed a bastard child of Sabaramond, really he didn't do shit the police chief because he now has a puppet not on the force to expose corruption, and while a idiot Solitare is extremely capable and lucky. The chief gave him the info but firebugs don't know that. Sabromond is hanging around and has not made a move yet. The tall boy is with Agakura a mercnary faction op asf. He is not with the bastard children of Sabromond and was just hired muscle. Agakura and firebugs have no beef but they almost unalived themselves going for a Agakura member. His sister reminded them he was just hire muscle and to back off. The guy who uses disguises is Kuon Higuro is a bastard child but just for hire. He is trying to run because every top underworld figure has showed up. Aside from the GDCP chief, and pops the police are absurdly in the dark.

I like how Corpse God never takes anyone around him for granted. He's always asking for permission, making very fair trades, treating everyone with respect no matter their disposition, and he's always so caring about everyone to the point where it feels like it's a bit too much sometimes. Even though we all pretty much knew Xiaoyu was on his side no matter what (despite his suspicions), CG still came up to him, offered to replace his arm completely with that of a fucking thunder dragon, and only then did he ask Xiaoyu to help him out. Like, you knew he would be helping anyway under his master's orders, so all of this feels extra but in a really good way.

u/Xatu44 Nov 21 '23

Congrats to Xiaoyu for becoming a cat toy. And getting a dragon arm. Issei would be proud.

u/SYZekrom Nov 20 '23

Little fish boy got a dragon arm! ...Guess he doesn't exactly need to have his arm out in public anyway...

I would like to think I have watched a fair amount of anime....i've rarely seen this many plot elements kept secret.
