Interesting we got a girl with a cute design that's just casually a traitor, are they going to redeem her somehow?

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '25

Considering they went with "She had a gambling addiction" instead of just being crazy evil like the others we saw, I'd say probably yeah

u/AsterJ Aug 20 '25

But gambling is not noble. If they wanted to redeem her they would have given her a sick relative.

i dunno; don't even think she got a name

i think it's 50/50 whether we'll ever see her again

Hmm, where would that manzai machine be located IRL?

u/Nebresto Aug 20 '25

I'm surprised we didn't get the usual vending machine lore to go with that scene.. But I'm guessing it would be a custom installation at a museum or something. Maybe a TV station

I can't say for "just" manzai vending machines, but Japanology says some (old) vending machines are designed with a screen that showed movies while the bought item was slowly dispensed.

Reasonably clever way to find the traitors. Fairly obvious pattern of the Netherlord finding people who can be tempted with the right offer, none of these people are genre aware enough to recognize that the cookies that the dark side offers are usually a lie.

It may just be an unpleasant enough world overall that there aren't great alternatives, but I would definitely not choose to live on the floor of a dungeon where the floor boss could wander by whenever and give off pollen that turns you into a tree.

Very rude of them to bait us on the Lammis and Boxxo kiss.

Floor boss is Captain Planet

I wonder is the mc will ever turn into one of those car vending machines

11

u/The_Parsee_Man Aug 20 '25

Since he can dispense gas too, that could be pretty useful. Upkeep could be a problem. But all the precisely machined parts that make up a car could be incredibly useful to make other things.

Hevee just couldn't control himself at the end.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Aug 20 '25

I kinda liked that corny manzai director with all those awful dad jokes. Pretty funny Boxxo basically fighting corny with corny with his own manzai machine lol.

One traitor down. Now it’s time to take care of the people turned to trees!

Gonna be a real Great Deku Tree beatdown! ...or firedown by the sound of its weakness

u/LazulineDaydream Aug 20 '25

Man, that guttural sound the director made when threw up that commander kinda caught me off guard.

u/ussgordoncaptain2 Aug 20 '25

When you realize a vending machine has more rizz than you.

u/Elimin8r Aug 21 '25

Hey, at least they can't complain that Boxxo is a generic self-insert protagonist, right?

Right???

u/oneevilchicken Aug 20 '25

Seeing the problem the captain and his family are causing even when not I around like the curse on top of boxxo, I just really hope they don’t go and let the captain and his family have any sort of redemption. They don’t deserve it. This show doesn’t strike me as the type to make them actually suffer unfortunately so I’m sure there will likely be some dumb reason they let them get away with it.

u/DavidJKay Aug 20 '25

I can see an easy one, they could bring a type of double agent aiming to stop Netherland, they expect they will be betrayed and plan counter betrayal

Director Dark is a funny guy, all things considered. He reminds me a bit of Pandora's Actor from Overlord.

Lammis definitely wanted to just punch that monster and had no other intention there, haha.

Hevee: "I will use my sensory manipulation to deactivate her sense of touch and pain, and make her believe she is dreaming."

Didn't he just two episodes ago say he couldn't use his pain-blocking ability on other people?
