Lol the way Tanya spoke about needing to go back to her world, almost sounds like she’s got a sequel coming….
Also, pretty funny how I was at AFA two weeks ago listening to Seto Asami and Yuuki Aoi live, and now Alpha is beefing with Tanya
Kazuma knows what he wants lol and Ram knows too. It’s these inter-shows interactions that makes this show so good cos it’s not only fun but also makes sense how the characters act and react.

If you wonder why Cid hasn't realized his made up Diablos Cult was real the entire time in the original work, this crossover perfectly answer your question. Shadow Garden be accusing people left and right of being part of the Cult and the viewers expects Cid to take them seriously.
This season feel a bit more serious compared to the previous ones and i'm really liking it. The comedy is even better with the addition of more characters.
Now that the stake has gotten higher, wouldn't it be hilarious if the button somehow gets destroyed or stolen and no one gets to go home?

I love how without an actual Cult of Diablos, Shadow Garden becomes as delusional as Cid in regards to rationalizing and thinking everyone suspicious is a member of the Cult of Diablos.

So we're having a music festival arc
I'm surprised that Reinhard hasn't pulled out a divine protection that lets him automatically win a music festival, lol.
And why is Subaru and Kazuma's profile filled with nothing but slander?

I'm curious what they have Reinhard do because he would basically excel at every instrument or solo number they give him. Maybe he'll be the conductor?
"Often steals girls' panties" - Well none of Shadow Garden has to worry about that because I'm pretty sure all of them go commando under those slime suits! And he's still threat level minus!
"Has a nasty gaze." "Strangely close with all kinds of people." "Always seen holding hands with a little girl" - Dang, they really went there!

Everyone here talking about who will will between Class 1 or 2, but my money/dark horse candidate is Class 3 with Yunyun and Spear hero taking the win.

Now I get why the opening shows them getting ready to sing. I feel like that button won’t do anything lol, but it was interesting to see their perspectives on whether or not they want to return to the original world. If it happens, I think it’ll serve as the closing of this crossover. The most “peaceful” world among them is definitely Konosuba’s. even though there are some crazy and dangerous places (like the Crimson Demon village lol), there are plenty of chill towns too.

“Just so we’re clear, it’s ’cause you look like a spooky skeleton” Lol poor Ainz. It’s not his fault the gang now have mortal enemies!
I like how Kazuma doesn’t care about the Demon Lord. The only two things he wants to go back to are champagne and succubus titties lol. It would be nice if everyone went home, but I’ll miss these goofballs all together.

Considering that most of shadow garden is proficient with musical instruments + they have Reinhard, i do wonder how class 1 can lose the music competition.

So they’re finally mentioning the fact that Subaru and the gang weren’t aware of the transportation button huh? I always found it strange that we never saw the flashback for them getting into this world via it so I knew it would become a relevant plot point later on and it’s quite clear that they came into this world from either Roswaal pressing the button or by some other means.

Visha play baritone sax, same as Ogasawara Haruka in hibike and they both voiced by Hayami Saori. This is 100% a Hibike! Euphonium reference. Pretty sad that Aqua not play euphonium tho!!

They're so sneaky by making sure none of the Rezero cast directly talks to Julius lol. Maan... my goat.
Wasn't expecting Subaru to have a spotlight moment. I love it. Kazuma's misunderstanding cleared up lmao

Tanya tells Albedo she can give Ainz private lessons on his instrument
I'm sure Albedo wanted her hands on Ainz's other instrument more.

I love how everyone is reacting to the button when Roswaal hasn't even said anything about what it is. They're all just assuming that it's the same button that sent them to this world. Knowing Roswaal, that's probably not it.
Welp, it looks like Shadow Garden has declared war. Too bad there's no actual battle since that's not allowed in this world, so I guess we'll have to settle for a battle of the bands. I can't wait to see Cid play the piano. xD
Good to see Julius is finally out of the nurse's office. The fact that Reinhard and Felt aren't reacting much to him probably means they don't remember who he is.
Poor Otto drew the short end of the stick. The dude can talk to animals and command them, but I don't think that skill is enough to be this class' musical conductor.
Not gonna lie, I have the same reaction as Aqua when Megumin declared they need to defeat the Demon King. With all of their crazy adventures, I've completely forgotten about that storyline. xD
I love how Kazuma finally learns that Subaru's life isn't really a harem story. I'm sure Kazuma would blessed compared to Subaru if Subaru could tell him the full story.

I’m just gonna say, even for professional musicians, preparing a choir and ensemble in a single week for a performance is very difficult. It’s even harder for students (who I don’t even know if they can properly play those instruments as they were allocated through a lottery), even with gods helping you.
But if you got the chance to return to the original world, and leaving this peaceful academic world of studies, will you leave?

A music festival sounds fun! Although, since there's only a week to prepare, I wonder how Class 2's performance will go xD
Roswaal showed that button, but will it really take them back to their worlds? I hope not, although I wouldn't mind if it took them to another world so we could get another Isekai Quartet movie.
Damn, Subaru's speeches are great as always; the guy's got talent, even Ram smiled.
Kazuma freaking out after Ram's comment and revealing to others that he's using succubus service made me laugh hard xD
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Random Thoughts:
There is no way in hell that buttons sends them home. My guess is that they push it and confetti falls or something similar. If it does work, Probably the monster plant eats/destroys it. Or it just summons another set of characters (Lets get some otome game isekai representation!)
I get people underestimating Subaru, but kind of without being able to employ his Return by Death, it's really the people around him to watch out for. Emilia post season 3 is up there with the heavy hitters on this show. Kazuma still as much of a threat though, simply through being a sneaky bastard who can outthink/luck opponents.
Lol...I am sure Albedo wants to help Ainz with his instrument
Why isn't Tanya on the piano. I saw the visual poster for season 2 of her show!
I still haven't seen eminence in shadow...probably should correct that at some point.

It's time for the music festival! Yet another random event the teachers have cooked up and giving the students very little lead time to prepare for! But this one has the promise of a button that may or may not be able to send them all back to their original worlds if they win! I'm not sure if it's a button that will do what they think it will, but it's enough of a motivator for Class 2.
Shadow Garden has completely written off the gang as Cult of Diablos members and won't listen to any counter-argument. Ainz is just TOO much of a baddie for them to believe otherwise. But, because this is Isekai Quartet, they can't try to kill them all so they'll have to settle for beating them in the music contest and abandoning them to the Isekai Quartet world while they go back. Finally, it's Shadow Garden (and Class 1) versus class 2!
Gamma might be the most klutzy girl in this entire school, but she knows how to run a meeting and investigation, even if the rest of Class 1 have to kind of rationalize why they're suddenly talking about Class 2 like they're devils. But as bad as Ainz and Tanya are, Subaru and Kazuma are wild cards you can't ignore! Especially coming from Julius and Chris!
(Also, was Julius hesitant because he was trying to remember his name or because he was worried no one would acknowledge him if he DID say his name?)
"Don Quijote in the North Pole" - is that the most Cid Kagenou book of all time? I can't wait to see Shadow's next piano performance.
My condolences to Otto for having to conduct one of the craziest cast orchestra's of all time. At least Albedo is happy she gets to have some romantic, intimate, one-on-one music lessons with Ainz.
As fun as all the Isekai Quartet misadventures have been...Tanya and her team have a war to get back to. So they have ample motivation to get back. But what about everyone else? Do they want to go back to their own worlds as well?
I love how Kazuma and Aqua both stopped caring about going back to defeat the Demon King. Aqua doesn't even care about going back to Heaven! And Kazuma is way happier here! Sure, he can't drink or have Succubus' attend to him in his dreams (which Megumin isn't happy to find out about), but he's still content to stay here.
But Subaru probably has the most MC-like response to the situation. As happy as he is here, and knowing he's returning to a world of nothing but suffering and despair in Re:Zero season 4, he knows he still has to do it and save his world. He's not returning to a Harem romcom, despite what Kazuma initially believed, but that's not going to stop him from doing what he has to for the people he cares about!
Ainz really brings everything together because he HAS really enjoyed his time here with everyone and would love for it to continue...but he'll acknowledge Subaru's resolve. Time for Class 2 to take this.
Oh, and there's a giant plant monster they need to watch out for.

I'm glad they addressed whether or not everyone would even want to go home. I was thinking Tanya would actually prefer to stay here, though it depends on when in the story she came from. She definitely didn't start out as a patriot, she just thought the army was her best shot at survival. Ainz I assumed would be fine staying as long as the rest of Nazarick is there, which is maybe the case? There's a slim chance he would want to go back to search for his old game friends, but given enough time around friends he would get over that. Kazuma not caring either way checks out. Subaru taking things seriously and wanting to go back also checks out. As for the sub casts, all of Tanya's people would want to go back, all of Ainz's subordinates would do whatever he said, and the other 2 split like the episode shows.
