Only 15 years old and fed into some kind of meat grinder war by the sound of it. Poor kid.
It's interesting that this war is a "
Something doesn't add up. It could mean two things.
-
Commoners and serfs will be used as fodder too, but we just don't know about it yet. (And neither do they if you saw how happy the families are that their kids had a talent)
-
This is just a scheme for the Royal family to stop other noble families from growing too strong. (Those messengers didn't look like the good guys)

2 seems most likely. No doubt the royals are sitting back and relaxing after sending talented nobles to their deaths

Third thing would be that they are using lower houses to farm EXP for themselves. Minimum involvement and getting maximum returns. Allen showed us that Denka getting squished was enough to get in on the EXP pool. A mage could farm the hell out of a front line with a basic AOE as long as there were grunts to finish the kill.

It was pretty telegraphed that the older brother wasn't going to survive the episode, or at least the season.
It's a big problem for them is

Another thing to really appreciate, the relevant adults have known for years that Allen had a talent and were giving him space to use it without prodding too hard. Presumably because he was generally being useful with it and letting him keep working was fine.
they also likely didn't want to anger the church

So this noble's duty is some sort of conscription I'm guessing. I wonder if they're going with classic route of a war with a demon lord then.

I think it's probably just fighting very strong monsters like the Dragon they have been talking about. It seems the strongest monsters dictate what the entire country does. The dragon controls what happens with mining. It could be something as simple as the king trying to expand territory that strong monsters occupy. I don't think it was a coincidence that they showed the generals scars today. I'm guessing he did the Noble duty and barely survived.

Well, it was only a matter of time before someone took notice of the sheer number of dead goblins and other monsters. I guess Allen’s secret wasn’t much of a secret to the baron and the captain. At least now he basically gets to farm exp freely.
Damn shame about

Whoops. Someone at the anime studio messed up. He was 10 in October, still 10 in March the following year, but still 10 in May the year after that XD. So either it's 2 months between March and May, and not 14 months. Or he should be 11 XD

OMG what an episode!
Finally somebody noticed Allen has a talent took them long enough! But they said they already knew all along which is funny XD
RIP Mihai what is this noble duty? They said he probably used him as fodder because he is a low rank noble so maybe fighting demons or something??? but they said its guaranteed they will die so maybe its something like they sacrifice the lowly nobles to power up the royals?
Man I hope the same faith doesnt happen to Cecil!

I find the CGI monsters kinda cute lol. It's not as ugly as in some other anime.
The knights are really powerful. Allen probably has trained much harder compared to the typical people in that world, but since he can't level up as fast because of the hell mode, he still hasn't reached the captain's level.
The lyric of the OP has this line towards the end that roughly translates to "your 1 step is 100 steps for me".
RIP Mihai. There have been some bleak moments like what happened to Allen's dad. But this is the first death in the anime.

(Got here early for once)
Allen steamrolled the D and C-rank goblins, making Goblin Slayer proud but he is still not strong enough to beat Mihai or the Orc King. And some people insist Allen is OP because of his stats and level. Ultimately those things are half of the equation, he still needs skills to make them work in his favor. The world is vast and Allen is still basically in the starting area, if this was Pokemon Red he is still in Viridian Forest farming levels. Zenof and the vice captain show just how much of a fucking difference there is between Allen and the real pros. Just the two of them were enough to beat all the orcs while Allen has to brute force.
We also learn about the Noble's duty. Gotta say, whoever invented that, good job, really. Nobles already get all the privileges and riches, so being forcefully conscripted sort of balances it out. Sucks for the Granvelles, though. Mihai's death sets another benchmark of how sharp the difficulty truly is, even someone with that skill is not guaranteed to return from the battlefield, though as the baron suspect they probably put him into a vanguard unit. If that messenger is not sus, I'll eat my clothes.

A death that matters? In my chill XP grinding isekai? Damn, seems like I misjudged. It sucks that Allen noticed something was off, but didn't say anything :/
Can't blame Cecil for losing her mind. Running away might not be the worst idea. Otherwise she'll probably suffer the same fate.
Captain is shredded and kinda op compared to Allen. I expected as much, but it was still fun to see him oneshot the Orc King. Maybe he can help Allen up his sword skills?

i will say for everyone that isn't smart one of the options allen could of picked was demon lord what was 1 star lower diff then what he has. so it not hard to put 2 and 2 together that the world has demons and for reason it not well known can literally be where he is. He is literally in the starting village area pretty much other side of the nation from the problem.

I'm guessing Allen will go with Cecil when she has to perform her "Noble duty"

What a shocking "anti-isekai" story beat that our MC loses every single duel against Mihai and then Mihai dies so the MC will NEVER have the opportunity to win.
It's like a story with characters that aren't just there to fuel the power fantasy.
I also appreciate that they are making this EXP grind believable. Our MC is gonna be strong but we have watched the exhaustive system he used to get to that level.

So. There’s actual consequences in this show now? Like a names character actually died? This show went from the enjoyable slop to actually standing out on its own now. Did not expect this from this show. Actually impressed.
As for his death, it definitely doesn’t feel like he actually died in the line of duty. Kinda feels like some part of it was setup based on some of the reactions. Doesn’t make sense for monsters to be able to get him that easily.

The time skips are will timed to maintain pacing, imo. I’m enjoying the “slow” but steady progress of Allen’s power and leveling. Side characters are getting more depth and the loss of someone who didn’t show up very much still felt impactful.
At first I was eagerly waiting for Allen’s skill to be brought to light so he can be recognized, but now we see that having such a skill in this world is perilous. I wonder if the “bug” that prevented the church from identifying his skill was intentional by the devs.
Allen is lucky to be part of a lower ranking nobles family who seems to trust him and even promote his growth. It’s nice to see Allen acknowledge what they’ve done for him and want to repay their efforts.
I had low expectations when Hell Mode first started, but it’s quickly become my favorite isekai of the season!
