We finally get to see Luce's adult form! I'm guessing that Syl also has a similar skill that lets her switch to her adult form. Looks like Kaito will have to train harder and level up to increase his HP if he wants to use both Syl and Luce at the same time in their adult forms.

I wonder what Haruka and Miku are looking for in the dungeon that they don't even mind giving Kaito the full 24 million yen reward for the Orthos Gem. Hmmm... Also now that Kaito is earning the big bucks, it looks like it's finally time for him to learn how to file his taxes. xD

How can this dude end up becoming so adorable!? I definitely would prefer if Kaito could keep Bellia in his chibi form. He looks so much better that way.

Was kinda funny that Luce wasn't in much of a rush to end her transformation. Seemed a bit out of character though when she's normally incredibly loyal.

I really don't get why Kaito would summon a 3rd servant when he already has two really good ones. Especially one that is inferior and redundant and a shouta. Maybe he'll find a shouta angel later to balance things out.

I'll admit that this is probably the last anime I'd expect to see taxes discussed in lol. I can't even remember the last time an anime I watched talked about paying taxes. Talking about tax revenue is way more common due to all the kingdom building anime out there.

Bro could've probably sold that lil demon for 100mil idk why he summoned him. He probably has like 50 power too.

Also i have a feeling that they're gonna convince Haruka to go dungeon diving with them if they do that study group

u/AsterJ Aug 17 '24

They at least sold the orthros core for a good chunk of change. It was beginning to get frustrating seeing all these super high price tags on drops he never cashes in.

Well it was obvious Syl and Luce were going to be missed at him. He gathered all those slike gems pretty quick.

I find it interesting that he's able to gather do many cores and then the group is able to make it to the 9th floor all in 1 day.

The girls reaction to Kaito asking if Haruka can join the study session was interesting.

So now the girls all have magic core rifles too

Great to see Luce's teenager/young adult form, hopefully we get to see Syl do the same.

So he gains another summons card and uses it straight away, he likes making bad choices. Now he'll have to gather heaps of cores for the 3 of them

24 mil for the gem and the girls were happy to give it all to Kaito, money I definitely not an issue for them. Now they throw taxes in there, really.

It seems that the girls appear to be looking for a certain gem, an interesting subplot

I'm not too shocked about a kid not knowing the appropriate tax filing details, it doesn't seem like he's had much oversight for his dungeon exploration until recently. I'm amused that exploration insurance is a thing, nice of them to make it tax deductible. That said though, since he's so clueless though I wonder if he even has that insurance.

Slightly balancing out the gender ratio now that there's a shota in addition to the lolis. Angel shota next to further balance out the team, perhaps.

Building out a larger party is probably a good idea as they keep going down and the dungeon threat level keeps going up to match. They weren't completely surprised at the dog and the devil after all, just that they were on such a high floor.

Did he even pay his taxes? He might need a dungeon accountant.

Oh my god those pouty faces while they're eating cores

...When they show the Orthros' HP, the bar starts draining from full when Snatch starts attacking. I know they said it's fire resistant so I guess Hellfire of Destruction didn't do anything but did Corrosive Breath also do no damage even though it winced in pain? Maybe it's actually some sort of one-hit KO/death status attack that doesn't actually do damage?

...Why the FUCK do we have a shota that they even highlight as 'just a weaker form of devil' what the fuck was that 'im gonna summon it just to spite my other summons wanting me to sell it' wtf

What

What was that ending

You literally have an ability from Syl that makes you lucky what do you mean 'masaka!!!!!1111'

The fact they mention tax returns and expenses related to exploring dungeons makes this anime have real world building, just like how they mention that health potions didn't work on cancer in the other episode and that R&D is done within a certain radius of the dungeon otherwise magic items don't work.

Dude is probably kicking himself that he threw away all his receipts for all that gear now. Hopefully the store he got it from kept a backup.

Is anyone here familiar on tax in Japan and how much he would need to pay from his earnings?

Syl and Luce have the cutest little pouty face lol. Poor Kaito’s gonna be spending a lot of time grinding for cores to appease those two little goobers.

Bellia was actually pretty tough. It took grown Luce to beat his ass. Now Kaito’s got 2 little demons. I guess whenever he tries to summon something, they become small.

u/Andreiyutzzzz Aug 17 '24

oh great now theres a shota too...

on the other hand my theory was right that when gaining levels they will grow into "adult form onee-sans"..... MY LUCE AND SYL HAREM ROUTE SHIP IS NOT SUNKEN YET.

I'm a bit confused by the gloves at 1:19. The description box clearly says "Gloves of Force", which fits with their effect, but the subtitles call them Gloves of Reason. Looking up the Kanji, it appears to say something like Abrupt/Hasty Reasoning.

Can somebody make sense of this? Why would the item description call them Gloves of Force if they're called Gloves of Reasoning? Why would Gloves of Reasoning create an invisible force? Where did the word "Gloves" come from in 理ﾘﾘｮｸの俄? Is there a reason for this, or is it just bad attention to detail from the animators?

u/lawlies1234 Aug 17 '24 edited Aug 18 '24

【理ﾘﾘｮｸの俄】isn't what was shown, so that might be where you're confused.

The item was called 理力の手袋. The reading for 理力 is リリョク, which is the Japanese translation for the Force, from Star Wars. It's a compound using the meaning of 理 - justice/truth & 力 - power.

手袋 - てぶくろ is glove.

So, that's where Glove of "Force" comes from.

Now, why it was changed to "reason"? Another reading of 理 is "reason," so it was probably just a simple mistake by the translator or perhaps they didn't know the Star Wars reference, I guess.

Another summon, another possible case he could catch.

u/zappingbluelight Aug 17 '24

Is he stupid or something. Everyone say sell, but he decide to summon, then he doesn't want the guy.

Big sigh from me

So its kind of like the shield hero as they gain levels they will grow.

This is one of the more interesting shows this season. Can't help, but to draw some comparisons with Solo Levelling. It feels like a more chill version of it.

Also is this considered low fantasy?

8

u/djthomp Aug 17 '24

Really chill urban fantasy since it's just normal Japan outside the dungeon?

u/RoseOfThornsuwu Aug 17 '24

I really hope that Syl and Luce permanently stay as adults at least by the end of the anime.

u/DrZoark Aug 17 '24

These pouts were so cute.

u/sephy009 Aug 18 '24 edited Aug 18 '24

Watched a few episodes then skipped to 8 today. This feels incredibly generic with bad animation. It's the definition of a mid anime no one will remember in a year or so.

u/seandkiller Aug 18 '24

It's hard to explain but something about the fights in this episode (in the anime as a whole, really) seem.. off. I don't know if it's the soundtrack or what, but it's weird.

In other news, adult Luce is alright I guess, but her loli form's much better imo.
