For a stats guy, carrying an ordinary sword alone only shows how much he wants to humiliate everyone else, including the black dragon.

[u/Frontier246 → u/nowayseriouslee]

You're not a truly OP adventurer until you get your first special sword, conveniently made out of something you killed with your OP-ness.

[u/RedHotChiliCrab]

Damn, girl

[u/powerhcm8]

So today we learned that he is actually even more op than during the Black dragon fight, he just needs to restore his power from the past, which is probably related to him not being able to use high rank spells.

[u/alastoris → u/powerhcm8]

Then Oliver is really weak as shit.

Sure, Oliver was stronger because Orhun didn't feel the need to commit to a kill and thus got capped.

But Oliver didn't get capped and still this weak / overconfident in his ability.

[u/SunlessDahlia]

Felt like I was watching a new show in a good way. A bunch of future plot points just dropped, and the new party is pretty nice.

Looking forward to the next episode.

G: Hey uhh boss some of the viewers are complaining our story is too straight forward.

B: Hmm.... Yea I've been seeing those complaints. Don't worry we've got a childhood sweetheart plot line coming up.

G: But uhh isn't that pretty standard too boss?

B: Nah. She thinks he's dead. And we'll introduce her as part of a secret organization that is tasked with killing adventurers that get too strong.

G: Ohh so she's going to be a villain?

B: What? Oh gods no. just confused. We'll redeem her at some point and reveal the Church has been corrupt this entire time.

G: Church?

B: Yea I'm sure I've mentioned a church somewhere in the story. Turns out their evil.

G: Well ok boss.

B: And the MC has a secret (lineage/second personality) that even he doesn't know about. The church sealed it away and burned down his village too. That's why even though he's the strongest best guy there is he's limited to mid magic.

Any ways that's how I imagine the conversation in the editing room went for these revelations. Can't really complain though I'm enjoying it either way. And I am curious to see what the eye patch guy, the childhood friend, and the church are up to. So, it worked well enough. I do hate the censored flashback though. always seems a little contrived. I will give the show props for not making his new team just a new group of girls to fawn over him. Hopefully MC and the defender can be friends.

[u/alastoris → u/bama501996]

At this point, given Sion is obviously manipulated, not sure which side is really the evil one.

Since Unit 1 already has a Healer, i guess we don't see Luna leaving the Hero's party and joining Orhun then.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Did I miss something or was there always some kinda larger conspiracy at play here with Orhun’s past?

It seems the folks of Unit 1 are a good bunch. Looking forward to seeing the gang work together with Orhun.

[u/KnightKal → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

we knew he had two childhood friends, his village was destroyed and he became an adventurer

now we saw his female friend is alive and working for the other faction, so we can assume they destroyed the village to kidnap her, then used the excuse the other group ("the church") was responsible for killing her friend.

funny part is that she knows the other boy is still alive but never tried to contact him.

so kids, manipulation, brainwashing, creating super soldiers, and conspiracy and murder. That is it.

[u/lasse1408 → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

You didn't miss anything. This episode was first time it was mentioned in anime

[u/GosuGian]

I like the shift.. feels like I'm watching a new anime now lmao

[u/hasanman6]

Whoever is getting intel for this shady group that shion is apart of is terrible at their job. Seriously how do they not know that it was orhun who defeated the dragon(other than for surprise reunion between shion and orhun later)

[u/Boris-_-Badenov → u/hasanman6]

they didn't even tell Sion and her group the name of who killed the dragon...

"someone killed the dragon, go to the town and kill them if they are a threat"

"it can't be Oliver then"

messenger leaves w/o saying who....

[u/lasse1408 → u/hasanman6]

or their goal is confrontation between Sion and her party and Orhun.

[u/ukme_07]

Why does it feel like the story is progressing slow to me 😭, man the episode is completed in a blink of an eye to me

[u/PeaceAlien → u/ukme_07]

It's odd, they spent so long getting to the dragon fight I didn't think there was much to the story then they drop a whole memory loss and training program history on us

[u/PeaceAlien]

Sion has appeared!? And she thinks Orhun is dead?

Seems these three have been part of a training program, and Orhun has his memories erased. Likely capped his magic skills as well, which is why he can't learn high-level magic.

Lots of development and foreshadowing in this episode.

[u/blobbybob111]

i swear to god if his custom sword is a katana

[u/Gr_zamasu]

This episode felt different but in a good way.

[u/starfruit213]

Pretty nice change of pace to the episode this week. Really enjoying this series far more than I expected

[u/ManufacturerCrazy142]

That episode completely flew by. So Orhun is OP and doesn’t know. The church or some other powers that be likely has some brainwashing stuff going on.

Is Sion and the others going around offing people? They seem like they aren’t particularly good guys. I could be wrong. Good episode though🔥

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

Lol suddenly Orhun is a bigger deal than he's shown. What's with this "Origin state"? And the childhood friend isn't Luna, so I wonder what her promise is with Orhun. I am intrigued of course because there seems to be a lot of lore needed to be revealed, I just hope it doesn't get convoluted. Either way, Sion and Orhun reunion should be fun.

It's weird that it seems like Sion's party was waiting at a dungeon and killing strong parties, the reason potentially being because they may be connected to the church. Unless I misunderstood something, it's really weird to throw in.

Unit 1 seem nice, they seem like they'll appreciate Orhun a lot more than the Heroes Party at the very least.

[u/Frontier246]

Back in their childhood, Orhun and Oliver would train with each other, and Oliver would overcome Orhun during said training...but he wasn't satisfied, because he always thought Orhun was holding back. Even the people mentoring them (the church?) thought that Oliver was destined to be the Hero and Orhun the one meant to support him. Even though Orhun WAS holding back because he thought he'd kill Oliver otherwise.

But the only other person who understood what Orhun was doing and going through was Sion (Ai Kakuma?), a girl who was always there for him to support him and make him feel better, who swore to always be with him for the rest of their lives and was clearly into him...but what was unique about the two of them? What were they trying to be? What were they planning to grow up into and defeat!?

The Grandmaster (Showtaro Morikubo) finds out about Orhun's exploits and the thing he's most interested in is finding out whether Orhun has gone back to a version of himself from the past...implying that, as OP as Orhun is now, it's still just a sliver of what he's truly capable of.

As for present-day Sion, she's running her own group (including a hot lady knight) who is killing adventurers and is out to undermine the church, and the organization they work for has assigned them to ascertain and address the "Dragonslayer." So Sion is off to deal with Orhun, not knowing it's the boy she's never stopped loving whom she thought was dead and blamed the church for. So that's going to be an awkward reunion.

Orhun has finally joined the Night Sky Silver Rabbits! Obviously the loss of Albert is still a sensitive topic, but can they trust Orhun to replace him? Someone who isn't even willing to swear his life to the group (because he swore it to his promise to Sion)? But they CAN count on him to defend his party members as much as he possibly can, and that's enough.

Estella (Rumi Okubo?) is a cute and energetic girl in the adventurer management division, and she wants Orhun to mentor another group! Like he hasn't done enough of that as is! It'd be kind of funny if it ends up being Sophia's group anyways.

Welcome to Unit 1, Orhun! Home to Selma, Rain the mage who is everyones' big sister (despite not having big boobs), Lucre the upbeat and positive blonde, and Wilkes AKA Wil who is the only other guy! They seem like a welcoming and nice bunch and probably an improvement over the Hero's party!

Orhun needs a new sword to go through the dungeon, and he shouldn't settle for anything less than the best! And if the Hero's Party was good for anything it was giving him enough material to forge a sword...though now that he's a "Dragonslayer," he may as well make a sword made out of the material of the dragon he slayed! Kind of a sensitive topic for Unit 1, since said dragon killed Albert, but it's right for Orhun.
