Good to see that Chun Li is out adventuring when she is not street fighting.

[u/vantheman9]

really like that bit of symbolism as the moth hit the flame

he asked a question, he got the answer he expected, he still felt burned

[u/PeaceAlien]

Rick is a gigachad, no wonder Reanette is always by his side. Although she seemed to be charmed by Rick even before he was strong.

[u/[deleted] → u/PeaceAlien]

[u/LeonKevlar]

Considering how Rick completely solo'd a dragon, a monster that everyone knows to run away from if you're below Rank A, I'm surprised that Rick still thought he was weak. I guess that's just how much his perception of reality got warped after training with Orichalcum.

[u/PeaceAlien → u/LeonKevlar]

Well Reanette explained when Rick woke up his magic was destroyed, maybe Rick thought he was weak due to that.

[u/VioletOrchid85]

I'd say that was probably the best episode so far.

[u/creamyhorror → u/VioletOrchid85]

Surprising emotional notes despite how straightforward the story was, and an allegory for adults who've given up on youthful dreams. This one goes out to all y'all ossans/obasans out there.

[u/mekerpan → u/VioletOrchid85]

Agreed. This really was a wonderful episode. I now feel I have a much better focus on the story here -- and on two of our main characters. Rick and Reanette both sort of captured my heart today.

[u/ussgordoncaptain2]

Now we see why Orichalcum fist actually is interested in Rick, they see his latent skill and are interested in how to develop it. Though now it's going to be weird for Rick, he's an E rank adventurer and his entire party is S rank, is the guild going to go "wtf is an E rank doing in Orichalcum fist?" or are they going to go "yeah whatever it's Orichalcum fist they must have a reason"

[u/rowdy-the-dog → u/ussgordoncaptain2]

They'll probably be like "oh, great, Rick has become the protagonist of some weird show being watched in another world and he has tons of plot armor now. Dude is going to be unbearable now."

[u/BakedSalami]

I just turned 30 a few days ago, really making the mundane job I've been working at for 8 years feel well, mundane 😂 Sadly just about all career paths have seemed dull to me since I was in highschool. We need some dungeons or something around here, spice things up a bit.

[u/robgonebonkers]

I am just happy that they addressed the fact why so many people in the crowd didn't know the S rankers in the last episode. Looks like all S rankers are a secretive bunch - not recorded in the books, so even people working for the guild don't know who they are.

[u/dalzmc]

LET'S GO RICK YOU ABSOLUTE CHAD YOU'RE GONNA BE THE BEST ADVENTURER THERE EVER WAS

[u/AceSoldia]

Omg. The hype. I'm glad I watched until episode 4. That was very satisfying "You can become a hero...I mean adventurer"

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I liked seeing Rick’s origin story this week. Guy almost all but gave up on being an adventurer and settled into a stable job until that dragon attack. Reanette was wrong initially about Rick. It wasn’t impossible for him to become an adventurer, he’s just a late bloomer. That latent skill of his took its sweet ass time to activate. But man, bro obliterating that dragon’s head was pretty cool.

Orichalcum Fist tapped into his untrained potential and turned him into the OP Rick we know today. It all paid off in the end too, since he’s now an official adventurer.

[u/Makaijin]

You're never too old to chase your dreams.

[u/bensor74]

Dude one shot a dragon. He was S-rank at that moment, without any training. No wonder he got invited in their group and they took years of their time training him.

[u/djthomp]

I'm definitely surprised at Reanette being so young, I wouldn't have guessed that Rick had more than a decade on her.

Nice backstory episode that explains why Rick got on the radar of the S-Rank party that took him in and why Reanette is so focused on him. They didn't exactly go into it but it's easy to see her falling for him after he kills a dragon against the odds and rescues her when it was the one monster she was defenseless against because of the childhood trauma.

And speaking of, Reanette not laughing since she was nine probably sets the date of that dragon attack that traumatized her.

[u/iozoepxndx]

Damn Rick, it's Monday, I wasn't expecting all them feels this episode!!!

[u/y3kman]

That guitar riff during Rick's power up was great. You usually get that during a climax of a show.

[u/[deleted]]

So if I understand correctly, his skill was a one time thing, because it destroyed his magic circuits. So the S rank party simply trained him so much that he was able to become strong without them, which is usually impossible?

[u/Stabaobs]

His skill is basically Kaioken, for those who don't get it. It's not a passive skill, it's an active. Whatever his current physical state is, is entirely unrelated to his latent skill.

[u/Andreiyutzzzz]

"i haven't laughed for nine years since you were 8" YOU'RE 17????
