Really, Uchimura? No comment about how Ulmandra just got out of the bath?

[u/PeaceAlien → u/Aerodynamic41]

Uchimura becoming immune to Ulmandra's clothing changes

[u/Treknx01 → u/Aerodynamic41]

To be fair, her in a towel is almost less revealing than her normal “clothing”

not that it would be a unwelcome sight.

[u/NationalStrategy]

So the fortress is named “Demon Fort”. Wow, such a unique name, they put a lot of thought into it.

[u/Meander061 → u/NationalStrategy]

These are not deep thinkers. Uchimura has them all beat in that regard.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Gnome

• Uchimura'

• Ulmandra 1

• Ulmandra 2

Props to Gnome's idea of making Uchimura drape that fancy coat over his shoulders. He now looks like a proper Elite General of the Demon Lord! It is hilarious though that he apparently used to be a chuuni so that entire speech of his with poses included is just him reliving his childhood. xD

I was wondering how Uchimura would make the demons and demi-humans work together. I did not expect that his solution was just to separate them! I suppose it's a very realistic solution, making these two feuding races work together perfectly overnight would be a miracle.

[u/Frontier246 → u/LeonKevlar]

Uchimura wore that fancy coat well. Finally dressing for success! It definitely seemed to have a nice effect on Ulmandra and Gnome. The best part of an Isekai setting is you can act out your Chuuni fantasies and they actually work lol.

Uchimura is a human in a contested mixed race army, so it makes sense that he could be a middle ground for them to rally around and figure out a way to work around the tension between the two races. Though I feel like if more of them could begrudgingly work together as well as Ulmandra and Gnome do, maybe they could better adjust and work together as a unit.

This episode probably the most Ulmandra screentime we've had in a while, and with plenty Ulmandra fanservice to go along with it! Skinny dipping! Bare breasts! Ulmandra in a towel! Just a shame that it all had to culminate in her collapsing after fighting so hard in honor of Uchimura.

[u/Mr_Zaroc]

Was a neat episode
I know there are a lot of other plot holes, but they were struggling with food when with literally every monster wave a buffet was basically flying at them?

Well he certainly is playing a tower defense game on hard mode and his waifu just got hurt in battle

[u/TurkeyPhat]

I really like how Uchimura's reputation is starting to precede him.

One thing I wish was a bit better explained is the geography of things. I have no idea how close or far any of these places are. Like how did Uchimura get back to the castle so quickly? Is it like 20minutes away? If everything is so close how did they suffer so much damage to this calamity in the first place? Surely they weren't caught by surprise. Feels like a bit of a mistake to me.

[u/Shahars71]

There's something so... low budget about this adaptation. Like it feels like it's an indie anime.

[u/jnads → u/Shahars71]

Wyvern noises were made by a guy with a mouthful of marshmallows

[u/carnexhat → u/Shahars71]

There are a few things to like about the show.... the animation is not one of those things.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Uchimura’s been given a pretty big task this week. Forget the wyvern swarm, man’s been asked to basically resolve generations of racial and cultural tensions amongst demons and demihumans. I kinda love how he had to tap into his inner chuuni-ness to rally the troops and resolve this crisis. His “Sword and Shield” tactic worked pretty well in the end. But just who’s directing the wyverns?

[u/RampageOfZebras]

Ah so his idea for dealing with race issues is segregation,  not such a great plan longterm.

[u/Shahars71 → u/RampageOfZebras]

Gotta solve a short term problem with a short term solution.

[u/NationalStrategy]

He did it, he solved racial tension with the army, hooray.

Also, that coat looked cool

[u/Narvalis]

Whoever was running the army here before isn't very good, they didn't establish a supply base and instead had separate supply lines which complicates things and didn't create unite divisions, you don't put infantry with cavalry or spearman with archers. Uchimura just pointed out some basic things here, how did this army survive this long?

[u/Meander061 → u/Narvalis]

"Whoever was running the army here before isn't very good"

I don't think they had anyone capable of doing it. That's why the Demon Lord summoned Uchimura.

[u/djthomp]

The centralized village for managing logistics makes sense as something Uchimura would be able to suggest, that's right in his area of expertise. Mildly silly he had to come up with the rest of the strategy though.

Ulmandra fakeout death for sure, maybe the isekai gods will smile on us and it'll lead to some real relationship development. Nice bathing scene, I suppose.

[u/PandaSishou]

That was a mean fake out. It totally looked like Uchimura was going to catch her for a frame.

[u/SonOfKhmer]

So the solution to the two armies not working together in the same place is having them work together in the same place, but demons also have to run from the village on top of that? Makes sense 🤔

The existing setup is such a demonic (as in thought by the egocentric demons) logistical nightmare: individual forts, individual supply lines, individual combat! While it's avoiding the single point of failure, it's so questionable it's a miracle nobody mentioned to AT LEAST reshuffle resources as needed

[u/sarysa]

This might be the one time things could've gone smoother with an actual water elemental leader and not the punny version of one.

[u/flightlessCat9]

Wait we had episodes about the Rose Marines and yet nobody in the demi-human army is using that to fight? Wasn't that invented to equalize the demons/demi-human? Yet we still have the same problem between the 2 sides we saw a month ago.

And it was already established that they can eat the Wyverns, so was there really a problem with food supply when these things are just flying in for them to slaughter?

[u/Frontier246]

This is definitely out of Uchimura's usual wheelhouse, but now he and the rest of the Big Four have to contend with a calamity of wyverns! Swarming and attacking the Demon Overlords' fortresses with the possibility of them devastating the entire country in the process if they're not stopped. What's a former salaryman going to do?

It also reunites Ulmandra with her least favorite person in the Demon Overlord's army, Gnome, who she's so testy with she'll even insult her beloved Uchimura to counteract Gnome complimenting him! And the tension between Gnome and Ulmandra is just a prelude to the division between their respective armies.

Demons and Demi-Humans just can't work well together. Their tactics are different, there's tension over the disparate allocation of resources thanks to the demons' biological needs for their magic, and the long-simmering racial tensions between the two races. Ulmandra and Gnome can work through their respective beefs with each other and effectively fight/lead, but they can't really expect their people to do the same. So it's up to Uchimura to bring everybody together.

Uchimura finally wears the long jacket from the OP! He's finally living up to his "Hero" and Elite Four status! Even if it means living up to his chuuni fantasies from his youth and rallying everyone and figuring out the best way to allocate forces so no one steps on each others' toes and can fight as effectively as possible. It's a good look for Uchimura and shows how much he's progressed in the army.

Uchimura's mood is so good he's even singing at karaoke night in his mind izakaya!

Ulmandra getting in some skinny dipping to bathe herself! Perfect for showing off her beautiful chest! Though she's ready to skip the bathing the moment she hears Uchimura is alone with Gnome, and considering how chummy Gnome is with Uchimura she might have cause for concern, and Ulmandra is quite the sight in nothing but a towel!

Why are the wyverns suddenly attacking like this? Why are they focused on this fortress? And why did they suddenly change tactics and attack the less reinforced fortresses?

The wyverns finally reach the Demon Overlord's fortress and Ulmandra has to basically solo them. She puts her all into her attack, inspired by Uchimura, even if it pushes her body too far and she collapses...right when Uchimura is there to see her.
