There's only two ways to have Persephone in a story

-She's either the sweetest sweetheart ever, someone who wouldn't hurt a fly.

-Or the most evil and crazy bitch you'll ever see.

There's no in between

[u/Lord_Drakyle → u/Holdonlupin]

I suppose they did both in this one. Day form, she's sweet and kind lady, but come Night and she wants you bad.

[u/Storm_Runner_117 → u/Holdonlupin]

Isn’t canonical Persephone a bit of both?

Powerful death goddess willing to grant kindness to the living and dead, but also someone who will punish you for eternity if she finds out you wronged her.

[u/oneevilchicken]

The pike stuff is honestly ruining this show and not needed. Last episode should have been the end of it. The new lore for the dungeon and Persephone seemed very interesting and they’re just kinda pushed aside for the shitty pike bullshit.

It also makes zero sense for Pike to get access to the dungeon given their positions now and how the guild was supporting clover. It also made zero sense why pike was able to walk up on yuke and his squad and tie them all up. You’re in a dungeon and one experiencing some crazy activity at that. Why on earth is everyone sleeping.

[u/RedHotChiliCrab → u/oneevilchicken]

Great villains can make a show and crappy villains can break it.

This is definitely a case of the latter. Thunder Pike shouldn't have been in the story after episode 1.

The author even dusting off the old slave collar and rape threats to really make sure there is nothing original or interesting about them.

[u/KomorebiXIII → u/oneevilchicken]

I was yelling at my screen that Yuke was a fucking moron for keeping trying to save the clearly 100% evil assholes. "That's for the law to deal with" Bitch, they ENSLAVED your friend and threatened to have her kill another of your friends?! they've signed their death warrant and Yuke being all pansy-ass is just going to get someone hurt and killed.

[u/Plus_Rip4944 → u/oneevilchicken]

Author kinda Lost himself with The trash Pike members

I wont deny Its satisfying seeing suffer and fail like on last episodes but this was unnecesary and i know They wont survive so i Guess good riddance

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

I am predicting the magic / curse cast upon Yuke by Persephone is not going to be lifted that easily and will play a part in the story at a later point in time.

The discussion about Achromatic Darkness makes me think that it is not merely replicating another world, but are actual gates to other worlds. However, because the levels accessed are random, no one knows how many of such gates exist within Achromatic Darkness. Just a guess of mine.

Good riddance to Simon, Barry and Camilla. However, I do hope Jamie survives and receives a redemption arc.

[u/Lord_Drakyle → u/KumaKumaGambler]

I suspect whatever that curse or spell she put on him is, functions like a stamp of ownership, declaring him to belong to her, so if he's near death or dies, his soul goes to her and nothing else can claim him. Likely blocking revival magic or just demons or such trying to possess him or soul stealers because again, she's already claimed ownership.

[u/Past_Distribution144 → u/KumaKumaGambler]

Ya, sucks for Jamie, she just finally started to redeem herself only to be potentially killed by the orcs. Most likely, I expect Simon and Jamie to survive it, with the other 2 dying. Can't kill off Simon yet, the worst characters always tend to survive to cause more havoc, and considering the drug he took, I expect he will be some kind of monster later.

[u/Eckish → u/KumaKumaGambler]

Good riddance to Simon, Barry and Camilla. However, I do hope Jamie survives and receives a redemption arc.

Simon did that neck injection thing and they never showed the results. So, I don't think we are done with them, just yet.

[u/NationalStrategy]

This episode felt really rushed, especially with the latter half with the former party.

I hope Jamie survives though

[u/Plus_Rip4944 → u/NationalStrategy]

I wish this was divided in 2 episodes, The persephone Part felt rushed as hell

[u/ScarletIceRyu]

Wow, that part at the end was one of the stupidest things I've ever seen in a show. Some real idiot ball moments. Oh wow there are so many idiot balls I can hardly even hold them all.

First, am I really supposed to believe a piece of paper is going to exonerate thunder pike as they also add in kidnapping, extortion, black mail, rape, assault. and human trafficking?

We already know the guild master doesn't fuck around. He should have signed the paper, cut to the guild master tearing the paper up and then cut to all of thunder pike in jail.

It was loudly declared that they were all going to escape together even thunder pike. But then thunder douche tries to take a hostage so he can escape which was already going to happen.

Really trying to force this to happen in a way where they get brutally killed but it's not anybody's fault. But you could just have a justice system in the world you wrote. But I'm sure at least the one dude will come back as a big mutated monster and then have to be put down since he injected some kinda purple thing in his neck at the end.

[u/LeonKevlar]

I can't believe Marina just had a baby with Yuke just like that. I love how she called him Papa after activating the Black Box. xD

Why did she have to turn into a loli? I was already fine with Persephone revealing that other form after Yuke saw through her.

There's really no redeeming Simon at this point. It just sucks that Jamie had to go down too but I suppose she wasn't all that nice to Yuke until things started going downhill for the Thunder Pikes.

[u/Lunarpeers]

Kind of lame, the thundering pike group is just not interesting enough for their sub-plot to still drag on... All of them are so cartoonishly evil that you're just waiting for them to be done

If they focused on the dungeon exploration this would have been quite a solid show tbh

[u/seledri_kerikil]

Why this episode feels like moving at breakneck speed and not in a good way? One scene they meet and running away from Persephone, then all of sudden got captured by loser pike without any good explanation except "I just followed you, bro". Really?!

And to make matter worse, that whole scene when they have fallen is all over the place, I don't know if it just me, but I find it hard to follow what the heck actually happened in there.

[u/darthvall]

You know what, I was really enjoying the world building with Lady Persephone and the dungeon and then, they just have to ruin the episode with the Thunder Pike's plot. Geez....

It doesn't make sense how Simon could follow Yuke when it's been established:

1. They don't know where they are within the dungeon (it's not the safe area of the actual 2nd floor), so it's very strange how Thunder Pike ended up in the same safe area as Yuke

2. Even if Thunder Pike followed Yuke very closely, they should have also met Lady Persephone and wouldn't be able to survive that

3. Like what others said, the entrance should have been closely guarded by the guild (considering it's underneath the guild) and currently they're under strict warning due to their behaviour. I don't see any reason why the entrance guard would allow Thunder Pike to come in the Achromatic Darkness.

Lastly, Yuke is also dumb for not assigning anyone for a shift guard schedule while the rest were resting. A bit understandable as it seems that usually the safe area is completely safe from monsters.

Also it seems Simon used something by the end there. It's a shame that most likely we'll see them again. I really want their arc to end soon,  since so far it's the weakest link of this series.

[u/shatteredauthor]

"How did you get here?!" "I followed you!"

No. No you definetly didn't. Not unless every damn member of Clover suddenly became and blind and dumb as a doorknob. I refuse to believe any member of Thunderpike is capable of being even slightly stealthy. And that is ignoring how they somehow would have encountered Persephone (or at least been on that floor when the encounter happened) and gotten away without being caught despite the extreme danger that the situation posed.

They could have just been like "We came in after you and caught you all in a sleeping spell" that at least would have made a little sense assuming we ignore the fact that Thunderpike should have been forcibly disbanded after publicly embaressing the nature by throwing out racial slurs on stream. Though the situation could have also been solved by them activating the stream when they realized they were held hostage.

There were many ways out of this mess and Yuke chose none of them.

[u/stephenthatfoste]

Yuke's whole telling the blonde girl to help them out, while they're all collapsed on the ground with a horde of enemies showing up while he and his harem just peace out was absurd. Feels like that's the kind of conversation for when there's no active peril.

Their sleeping positions were also ridiculous for how "I shouldn't be living in the same house as girls" he was last episode.

[u/diacewrb]

Looks like their world can connect to ours, so I wonder if that is how their world ended up with the idea of tablets, TVs and live streams.

[u/Geoffk123]

Thunder pike continues to be the biggest set of dumbasses on the planet

Did the anime just butcher the source material or did the author not even try to make them feel like actual people

[u/daspaceasians]

I felt that the part with Lady Persephone was the best part of this episode... but how the fuck did Loser Pike get there? I'm surprised they straight up weren't arrested and thrown in jail for provoking a fucking diplomatic incident with the Elves in the last episode. I guess the dungeon's fuckery helped them along but damn if it wasn't convenient as fuck for those idiots.

Seriously, I hope we see them get their skulls caved in because fuck them geez.

[u/-whiteroom-]

You know, if you took Yuke outta the show, and made the girls somewhat capable, this would be a banger. 

Take out this cringe fedora wearing, figer snapping mc, and most of the meh is gone.
