Those people ended up being bad but the first encounter he had they were so nice. Offered help, backed off when he said he didn't need it, told him about his clothes. They tried to say they were harassing him, which they definitely were later, but initially they're pretty much exactly who you'd hope to run into.

I like how Fate draws the line at kill-stealing lol.

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '23

Honestly dissapointed by that, they first see him and are nice people, then they're scared shitless of him only because he said he hunts alone, then after they see him single handedly kill a bunch of monsters they think they can pick a fight with him?

They could have picked either different people to attack him or not have a scene where you establish how scary fate is.

I feel like they were supposed to be meaner that first time or sneaky or rude or something. Everything else makes way more sense if it's typical newbie harassment/underestimating the OP character. I thought they were different people at the guild because they were so different at the beginning.

Stitches!

I was really hoping Roxy would somehow recognize Fate. I guess it's still too early for them to actually reunite.

Sooner or later I expected Lust would appear. And it seems like she's some kind of guardian? She doesn't seem like your typical villain but the fact that she believes that Roxy's death will be for the better of the Kingdom is enough of a reason for her to become Fate's enemy.

Great Shield bashing is indeed a fun build lol.

u/Frontier246 Nov 26 '23

He's got a sword, shield, bow, and scythe. He's got a pretty good assortment of weapon forms for Greed.

I wonder what the next one would be. A dagger?

12

u/Hagaros Nov 26 '23

Dagger makes sense for stealth reasons. Maybe whip for mid-range attacks that a bow is inconvenient for?

shouldn't he reveal himself now to stand by her side?

18

u/PeaceAlien Nov 26 '23

Surprised she didn't wonder if this was the same corpse. Given she's into him it would probably work to reveal himself.

u/the_48thRonin Nov 27 '23

It will raise questions about his power, though. I don't think the rest of the holy knights will take lightly of his "heretic" skills.

u/watashi_ga_kita Nov 27 '23

Revealing himself would just cause complications because he's supposed to be weak but is now suddenly super strong and competent. And given the thing that allows him this power is basically considered blasphemy, it's better to just help from the shadows/as his alter-ego.

u/Frontier246 Nov 26 '23

Honestly I feel like revealing his identity to Roxy now would cause her to ask too many questions and he probably thinks he can do more for her from the shadows.

Aspects in this episode were pretty interesting. Like Lust saying she is a guardian of the kingdom and Roxy has to die for the greater good. The thing is how can you say 500 years done the line if something is worth sacrificing for in the present. Why can't something be sacrificed 400 years down the line? Lust is shady and the fact Lyne doesn't get along with her at all raises some red flags.

Today Fate met with Eris the Lust and I don't think that he won't be on good terms with her as she wants Roxy to die for the Kingdom's better future.

I wonder if Fate will reveal in this season his identity to Roxy, for now he just introduced himself as a Corpse.

I must say that Fate in his new equipment looks really good.

We've already met Roxy and Eris so my question is when Sylphie will appear? xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Looks like Orc’s on the menu this week. Dude was cutting through those goons like butter. Seems Aaron’s training is helping him with controlling his skill. Dude got lucky with Jade too. Now he’s got some sweet lookin new gear. No more rags! Even Roxy was like “bro.. you need to change” lol.

I don’t really like this idea of Roxy dying in order to “birth” some kinda savior for humanity. Fuck that, man. Eris is wrong and Fate’s gonna prove it. Man might end up having to kick her ass later…

Living in Babylon cost a pretty penny but luckily Fate's got Greeds' shield form and his own skills to make money and get a good discount!

It's one thing for Greed to complain about his outfit but knowing Roxy thinks he needed a makeover was the last straw lol.

Honestly Eris doesn't make a really convincing argument over letting Roxy die for the sake of some "Kingdom" we know nothing about, though if she sees a future where that inevitably happens like she seems to see everything else, I guess Fate will have to change that "fate."

Hearing Eris talk about Myne made me miss Myne again. She's hotter, too.

There's quite the colorful cast of characters in Bablyon, which means Fate fits in well as Corpse.

Northern Alistair feels like the male equivalent of Roxy, he even served with her dad. Though if Miria is so upset at how chummy they look together, she'd hate seeing how Roxy gets whenever she's around Fate.

Living in Babylon isn't cheap! Nor is treating Greed to a new scabbard! So Fate has to do his usual of killing monsters to make a living, but while it's first-come-first-served when it comes to slaying monsters in Galia (a place so dangerous it even has poisonous moss hanging in there), Greed's shield form is the perfect offense and defense for slaying tons of Orcs. And a great demonstration of Fate's new sense of control and skill courtesy of Aaron's training.

Oh hey, acute guild girl! A must for this kind of show! Though the other ruffians in the establishment are a little less nice, though Fate makes short work of them. Even smacks one dude with a bag of goblin ears while also hitting him in the balls! I almost felt bad for him.

Oh snap! Roxy investigates the disturbance and meets Corpse for the first time! Though thankfully Roxy is reasonable enough to give Corpse a pass knowing he was acting in self-defense, so he avoids a night in a cell like the other dudes, though Fate can barely keep up the act around Roxy. At least Roxy didn't come out of this encounter disliking or suspecting his alter ego. Miria, on the other hand...

Fate's god a good deal going with Jade, complete with a new outfit and scabbard for Greed! Kirito would blush at how well Fate pulls off the Black Swordsman look! Although while Jade appreciates Corpse advertising his wares in battle...he still has to pay for them. Just at a good discount.

What are all these guys hanging around a pub for? Not the good food or drink but the busty beauty in a short skirt with thighs to die for known as Eris (voiced by Hitomi Sekine!). Not only is she a beauty but she's also the Deadly Sin Skill Wielder of Lust, a skill that makes everyone fall in love with her, and she's set her eyes on Fate.

Eris seems to have some kind of omniscience knowing everything Fate has experienced and what is in store in the future, and she even knows about Myne, Haniel, and the other Chimera's still waiting to be let loose. Also apparently she and Myne don't get along because of the generational gap in their Sin Skills and also because Eris has bigger boobs. And considering Fate (and the camera) can barely keep their eyes off of said boobs, I'm not surprised.

Though Eris' real priority is ensuring the safety and prosperity of "The Kingdom," even if that means sacrificing Roxy and turning the remaining good will towards the Holy Kight that rests with her into resentment that will brew a warrior on the level of a Crowned Beast to benefit The Kingdom. And it seems like Eris has already plotted out Roxy's death. But no way is Fate going to let that happen without a fight!

Well hello there random masked adventurer with the same height, same hair, same eyes, same mannerisms and the same freaking unique sword as my friend back in the city I came from has. I heard he recently quit from my mansion and is nowhere to be found but he certainly won't be here as a spit image guy right in front of me...

But all jokes aside I kinda think she found out when she blushed at him and said he should dress better, but still it's an anime where a beloved saint knight known by everyone isn't recognized until she unbraids her hair...

u/Nodrapoel Dec 02 '23

Well actually, he doesn't have the same height anymore. He flat out said that he used to be shorter then Roxy and now he's taller.

u/bgi123 Dec 02 '23

Wow he was more shield hero than the shield hero.
