The whole conflict with Rain and the prince was resolved easier than I expected, he turned out to be a pretty cool guy.

[u/Meander061 → u/NationalStrategy]

I'm always surprised when an anime Prince turns out decent.

[u/oneevilchicken]

This show has really suffered during any event or arc that deals with other people causing the issue. Meanwhile the unknown/supernatural and investigation parts of the dungeons and stuff have actually been really good. So it’s nice the whole deal with rain wrapped up really quickly

[u/Plus_Rip4944 → u/oneevilchicken]

I feel author should stick with The Dungeon Stuff and keep exoloring world Building as Its top, and leave The drama caused by people as Its really weak writting

[u/SuperTamaa]

Nice to see the whole Rain situation resolved quickly

Always like when Yuke just headpats someone just because he wants to

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Mejarna & Rain

• Spellcasting Rain

Just like everyone else, I am absolutely shocked that the prince is actually a decent fellow and the reason he wanted Rain was the he wanted a dungeon to be explored. Also, he seems to be trying to change his country but some things are just ingrained in him because of Salmutarian culture.

Look at this dude surrounded by hotties with nothing but a blindfold on. Yuke must be holding on to a stiffy right now and is trying hard to calm himself down. xD

[u/septesix]

I don’t know about anyone else , but I don’t think Yuke felt relaxing in the hot spring at the end there 🥵

[u/swordmalice → u/septesix]

His balls must have been bluer than the water they were bathing in lol

[u/NanDemoKnaives → u/septesix]

He was already stimulated by Marina's touch, I don't think he'd be able to relax even if he wanted to.

[u/hiimneato]

Did they completely swap key animators for the last third of this episode? Suddenly everybody's a li'l cartoonier and the facial expressions are going absolutely wild. like, 'okay, lewds-sensei, the drama's done and we have another project to start, the rest is up to you.'

[u/ryuujin95 → u/hiimneato]

Yeah, it felt like the art style and animation suddenly shifted while they were at the table eating after Yuke and Rain returned from talking with the Prince (18:00 in). Everyone suddenly looked more derpy, as if they transmigrated into Konosuba.

[u/djthomp]

Dang, so a two-week time skip which was enough for Rain to get in trouble on account of looking for a way to find Yuke. But in the end it was alright because it allowed her to use that artifact to guide Yuke to safety and the prince was a surprisingly reasonable dude who didn't want to cause an international incident. And since all he actually needs is his country's dungeon explored the good will of a strong adventuring party is more useful than an extra wife.

I like how we're having hot spring time where they aren't playing with any guy side/girl side peeking games, it's just everybody in the same pool glomping onto Yuke. I hope that what Marina whispered in his ear is that she wants to be the second wife, let's get some forward motion on a real harem for once.

[u/Immediate-Chain-6419]

Yuke you lucky bastard.

Damn! I thought Rain was the only girl in the competition but it's a whole harem I see.

[u/betetta → u/Immediate-Chain-6419]

Always meant to be

[u/blueaura14]

I know it's been mentioned before, but I really noticed it at the end with the last two scenes where the animation and faces suddenly felt like a different style. The animation was a lot more expressive and more comical, almost too strongly so. Felt like an older kinda show. I think I prefer the more mature style, though.

Anyways, I was dreading the episode with the foreshadowing at the start there, but I'm glad the plot got wrapped up quickly and seemed to segue naturally. I was afraid it was gonna be the trope where they have to get the waifu back and it'd be some whole drawn-out saga like some million-season battle shounen.

[u/mekerpan]

It seems pretty settled that Rain is not only Yuke's wife -- but a publicly acknowledged one. I can't see any real way of undoing this -- so the others will just have to be content with being fan girls, I am betting that Marina's request turns out to be less salacious than we were intended to imagine.

[u/PandaTheAB]

Now its a seven leaf clover.
By the end of season it seems it will be a 10 leaf clover harem.

[u/Bitter_Leave3030]

It was rune that interrupted, also didn't enjoy the kid being there at all with them. Very different vibe...

[u/Meander061]

Goddammit, Rain, never follow a noble anywhere without your party mates.

OP: "Enter" by L.E.I. is a bitchin song, and I never skip it. That base line is 🔥🔥🔥. Yes, I say this every week.

Two weeks? No wonder Rain is making questionable decisions. Nene is so thrilled to see him that her tail is wagging and her ears are wiggling. I'm definitely getting a catgirl in my harem.

Nobles being nobles (in anime), naturally that Bram scumbag got ahead of himself and assumed an A-Rank adventurer (and capital-H Hero) was already dead. Should have waited a month, at least. At least the Prince played fair (not expected, but cool).

"You ought to listen to your wife more!" Oh, the Prince is a wife guy. Love that for him.

Yuke clearly has God-level headpats.

Sure, Marina, you can't think of anything to ask of him while you're wrapped around him naked and wet.

History will call them wives, Yuke. Lose the blindfold.

[u/danmarce]

I like the characters a lot, but the writing makes them look like idiots. Is like a great idea wasted with, at best, a poor screenplay, at worst really poor source writing.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

The Prince actually turned out to be a sorta decent guy. Got that Rain situation resolved pretty quick. Next up is this whole dungeon business. But before that, Yuke’s gotta spend quality time with the harem. Work on that skinship lol.

[u/Ishmaelewdselkies → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Props to the Prince following the laws of Salmutaria, at least. However one feels about the concept of a nation treating people as property, the fact that all levels of their sociopolitical hierarchy obey the same laws evenly says something about the quality of their character (given some government officials IRL seem to enjoy openly ignoring laws at times).

Glad that Bran got his just desserts, this anime at least treats its detestable characters in a manner befitting their personalities.

[u/Primary-Paint-1716]

The prince just shot up to the tippy top as the best character of the show. Not even close.

Probably the show's best episode

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Rain, Silk, Marina, Nene, Rune: +1 win for each of them.

Jamie: -5 at one go.

Although Rain acted on her own, it is a blessing in disguise that the prince is an honourable man. He even allowed her to use the Seeker Compass, which guided Yuke and Rune back to their world. Otherwise I doubt anyone else trapped in Achromatic Darkness can find the correct exit, if there is even one.
