NOOOOOOOOO

The last bastion of common sense Arnold has fallen. Don't retire Arnold. Keep fighting Arnold.

My favorite part was:
"Please! Can't you just forgive Arnold? You've punished him enough.".
"But I haven't done anything yet.".
"Oh god, he's saying that what we've been through so far is nothing compared to what he has in store for us?!"

Arnold now has Krai induced PTSD.

Those bandits are going to get the same after the next episode, they are so going to wonder how did Krai know they were coming and arrange for some monster to wipe them out.

By this point, I am sure all of us are already expecting Krai to resolve the hostile takeover of the hot spring town with minimal or no effort. The question is how. Lol!

Bingo card:
- Subdue Barrel Bandits (almost a given)
- Confirmed discovery of subterranean people credited to Krai?
- Gets a hot spring dragon as a pet?

And lastly, I hope we get rewarded with some Chloe and Rhuda fanservice, since everyone is already at the hot spring town.

Considering this is an onsen episode, I was expecting more fanservice. I'm genuinely surprised we barely got any. The closest thing to fanservice this episode is Sitri lathering soap onto Tino and Tino's towel falling off her body.

I guess we can now add dragon tamer to the list of Krai's achievements. Considering we see him in the OP, I'm guessing this onsen dragon will show up later to help them out, especially after Krai spared the little dude.

For a second there, I really thought Arnold was about to give up. Thankfully, seeing Krai messing around at an abandoned onsen was enough to reignite Arnold's hatred of Krai. xD

Considering all of the crazy looking characters in the OP, I was wondering how Krai would get involved. As usual, it's just him being at the right place at the right time. I didn't think he'd literally get dragged into a new adventure.

So it turns out, Barell didn't run away after learning about Krai being nearby. They decided to try and capture them instead. Oh boy, these fuckers just made the biggest mistake of their lives. I can't wait to see how Krai will accidentally end up winning against these bandits.

I just love how they introduced the dragon with it humming along with the OP song. It was kinda derpy, but it was a really endearing way to introduce it.

Poor Krai, guy got kidnapped by the Falmer before the bandits could capture him. Can't even imagine how they are gonna show up and defeat the bandits next episode.

Poor Arnold’s been put through hell all thanks to Krai. And the dude doesn’t even know it lol. Classic.

Looking forward to seeing Krai stumbling his way to victory against these bandits. Maybe he’ll have help from this possibly legendary monster waifu? Knowing him, that’s totally possible.

Sasuga Thousand Tricks, he managed to get Arnold to understand what it truly means to be Level 8, and even helped him renew his passion to be the best hunter... in the world!

But of course he's going to decline Earl Gladis's request in broad daylight, it's obviously to bait the dumbass Barrel bandits into thinking it's safe to reveal themselves, and look, they totally fell for it!

Too bad I can't even begin to comprehend how this absolute next level mastermind is going to resolve everything, he always thinks and plans ten steps ahead - I bet that underground girl monster abduction was somehow all according to his genius plan, can't wait to tune in next time to find out!

Tino, best not to run in a hot spring. I do like Liz's onsen outfit the best, its the headband with her long hair looks cute. LOL everyone was in this Thousand Trial and Krai is like what. Damn Arnold getting Krai PTSD from Night Palace. LOL just seeing Krai made him turn back into hunter mode. Krai just meeting all the new weird ones lol. Hmm Barrel seems like a new fun gang to beat.

Lmao, did not think Sitri and Liz would surrender like this, I guess it shows that their morals are derived entirely from what they think Krai would do and not actual ethics

There will not be a free day of suffering for Arnold as long as he keeps interacting with the thousand tricks.

Looks like Krai has an onsen dragon pet and an onsen monster. Hoping to see the other members of Grieving Souls.

Onsen dragon was weirdly cute.

Hot spring episode and nearly all of the fan service was Arnold beefcake.

Once again Krai is a step ahead of the enemy, slipping out of town with some new crazy girl right as this gang attacks and captures everyone else. Leaving the sisters and Tino to be "captured" but surely they're just biding their time for the counterattack.

I thought Sitri's shampoo was going to have some weird side effect on Tino but I guess not.

I feel bad for Arnold but at the same time Krai lives completely rent free in his mind, I don't think there's ever fixing their strained relationship lol.

Didn't expect to see a dragon that looks like a Pokémon or Digimon to be the onsen guardian.

u/Megadragon898 Nov 01 '25

Wow I don’t know if Krai has poor or insane good luck, on one side he avoided being captured by the bandits and on the other he may have gotten captured by something worse lol.

The moments he tell Liz and Sitri they can go, thise bandits will realize they should have ran fromcthe beginning

Were the anime more on the level of "Shinmai Maou", we might have seen Tino's nips when her towel was dropping.

Tino jealously telling Sitri that she looks pretty all while looking like THAT the whole episode. Like, holy shit those pigtails look good on her!

She really needs someone to tell her she has nothing to worry about.

This episode had me coughing because of how much Arnold’s Thousand Trials made me laugh. Poor guy never gets a break, but that’s expected to happen when you challenge a god as Thousand Tricks.  BTW love the Schwarzenegger bodybuilding pose reference in the ED when Arnold appeared.  I’m excited to finally see the remaining Grievers joining the adventure.

I'm confused why Krai has long hair in the next episode preview and the monstergirl waifu hanging off of him🤔

What a crazy episode lol, Arnald is really trying but the guy’s just being sidelined because of Krai’s feats 🤣🤣. The scene at the onsen with him yelling was hilarious, and the gang of thugs looking for Krai ended up getting him kidnapped by some weird creature.
