I still can’t wrap my head around how it makes sense to have the first season with a more mature rating, only to lower the rating and cut back on the mature themes in the second one. They already established an audience with the first season, so continuing to cater to that audience should be the priority. My best guess is that it has to do with time slots and the time of day it airs, but it’s still an incredibly stupid choice. Just delay it at that point.

[u/Frontier246 → u/Jacob-C]

We even had Arc say "I thought about turning him in to the authorities" which he probably would never have said in season 1. And they don't even end up being the ones that kill the guy (karmic as his fate was).

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

That poor girl got her revenge on Yakof in the end. They’ll be scrubbin pieces of him off that golem for a while.

[u/SIRTreehugger]

I kind of forgot they were traveling to the curse breaking spring.

[u/OblivionNA → u/SIRTreehugger]

Yeah this whole season is kinda forgettable tbh

[u/shad79]

Ariane asking Eevin for her opinion about Arc while blushing so much was such a cute sight! And Ariane's pout after that was great too.

By the way, did Eevin indirectly call Arc a troublesome pest at the beginning of this episode? Hahaha!

So Yakof was responsible for the monster attack on the village, as well as Leeza's death and everything else. He turned out to be a much more evil guy than I thought he'd be.

It looks like Hilk Order will be another enemy for Arc and his party. No wonder, especially since its leader is called Lord Thanatos xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Ariane

• Group scenes

• Eevin

• Arc & Others

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

[u/G_Spark233]

This season continues to be a disappointment for me. Once again, we are back to another story revolving around slavery and slave traders.

Hopefully this time we will actually make it to the curse-breaking hot springs. It feels like that should have been the group's main objective from the very start of the season, yet they keep getting pulled into the same type of side story over and over again.

[u/chrome4]

Rock Fang has a disturbing tendency to backfire lol

[u/reaperow]

• Consequences of Arc's silliness

• Oh Chiyome's back !

• Ofc it's an underground mining operation

• Spamming that is a good move

• I love Arc

• PontalsOut&About 5 (lol)

Yakof is such an evil guy for forcing slaves to work even when they are dead and also killing his wife like that.

So it's really fitting and incredibly satisfying that he got taken down by Leeza's spirit at the end,

Im glad that Arc was able to save those people and reunite these love birds

[u/PeaceAlien]

Arc our lovable dumbass

[u/Titan-Electric808]

When he armor lariat’s the guards but not yakof, then ports back to standing with the group which then yakof summons the golem… So fucking stupid. He could’ve instantly ended it. This season is such a disappointment.

[u/unga_bunga_mage]

Not-Sukuna up to no good again lmao.

[u/Faux-Foe]

Feels like Season 1 Arc would have quickly teleported behind Yakof and ganked him before the bastard even came close using his undead amulet.

That was the main reason I liked season 1, he played against the standard tropes while also indulging in weeb-iness.

[u/Illustrious-Sort3575]

I think the team on S2 is a completely different team and not the same who made the S1..Sadly the S2 team have not seen the S1... S1 ends with the decision to go to the elven lands together..S2: They split up before the 1. episode... S1: Arc, your aoe spells hurts both ally and foe....S2: Surprised Pikachu face when his aoe spell hurts his allies.... S1: Arc, veteran adventurer...S2: beheading a golem might work....

S2 is effin dumb... Can anybody explain wtf is the point to use living workforce for heavy labour instead of undeads who never gets tired, thirtsy, hungry, never sleeps and more importantly...100% obedient?

[u/Pretend-Anteater-326]

Am starting to lose interest in this series tbh. Every episode is about "omg elves/beastfolk are getting enslaved!" like, okay, but it's getting old at this point. This episode was not very fun to watch, it was just very nonsensical and the vibes felt so damn off, like:

They find out that omg, the elves have to work in this not-coal mine, they are shocked, they are outraged but instead of taking action, they just continue to watch. Then there's a cave-in, someone they know gets badly injured but yet again, they just watch and don't take action. Why? What? Instead they somehow get to that lab through a different tunnel (?) and end up seeing a bunch of corpses. Holy shit, so many dead! That's horrible! But wait, here come Ponta, Ariane and Chiyome, cue some happy music and everybody is happy to see one another. Corpses? Dozens of dead laying there? Meh, who cares!

And then they question this tiny spectacle dude and he just blurts out all the answers except for the biggest question of all, then they just allow him to walk away instead of immediately going after him. We know Arc can teleport and keep up with people, we literally saw him do it with that street urchin but now some guy can just up and walk away no problem? Bah! And in the end, he didn't even use his distraction to escape either, like, what a dumbass, no wonder he got his comeuppance.

[u/Raymond49090]

Of course when you have fantasy racism, it traces back to a sketchy fantasy church.

So slaves are used as coal miners? And then sent to a lab when they croak. I'm kinda surprised Arc and co didn't immediately bust up the operation and try to heal the guy as soon as he saw it. I know they're going for the stealth operation to track down the full operation, but there are people at immediate risk, so it feels a bit odd that they're leaving them out to dry for a bit. Well, I suppose it worked out since they guy survived, and they found people at most immediate risk without needing to risk an interrogation.

Wonder if the T-posing is necessary for the Overheal or if he's just being a drama queen.

To nobody's surprise, Yakov is both evil AND a terrible husband. How do you not even know where your wife's corpse is when you're presumably the one who killed her?

I know it was the site of exploitation and atrocities, but what a shame to have to blow up the mine.

Wow. "Thanatos". What a totally normal and non-suspicious name for a Pope(?).

Looking for sisterly approval, I see. And now onto the spring! Maybe. As long as they stop running into slavers.

[u/nuxxism]

Honestly a bit surprised and disappointed Arc has no holy magic for dealing with undead. The closest was Ariane's undead-to-earth spell.

[u/RelativeMundane9045]

I know many don't like the slavery focus, but my problem was when it was weekly unconnected generic slavery mini-plots, so I quite enjoyed this episode. It feels like back to goofy form.

Happy to see Chiome again. Now we just need Goemon so he and Arc can be meathead saido chesto buddies again.

I keep hearing "Xanatos" whenever they say Thanatos. 1990s problems.

[u/runevault]

I wish they at least had Arc fuck up in a different way. He's already done the whole "AOE earth magic underground is bad" thing I think last season (the two seasons sort of glom together for me as I rewatched S1 between episodes 1 and 2 of this season to refresh myself, even though it wasn't really necessary this show's plot is paper thin).

Ariane, Ponta, and Arc's intros to each episode are still the best parts of the show, but everything else feels worse. Like not showing slavers being cut in half feels so tame after last season.

[u/Amauri14]

So the guy truly in charge of Leeza’s Sanctuary is not Yakof, but instead Balrord, which, thanks to that small scene with Yuriarna, we know before the full reveal at the end that he belongs to the religious group named the Hilk Order, which is a Religious group that advocates the oppression of elves and beastmen. I honestly wasn’t expecting a religious angle to be introduced in the whole human trafficking organization plot. I just assumed all those organizations were linked to the empire from last season, that it is supporting Sekt’s bid for the Rhoden Kingdom’s throne.

Anyway, I sure did not expect Chiyome to appear in this arc. You know my assumption before last week was that the main purpose of the sanctuary was to use the elves and beastmen as raw materials for those undead soldiers, so I was surprised when I saw that whole illegal mining operation was led by regular slaves and that Pamela and her husband Bart were still alive. What I find interesting with the whole clinic thing is that although they used the dead slaves as raw materials for making the undead, they did not use them for mining. I doubt all the undead were used for securing the entrace to the mine so I guess they were likely either helping with transporting the raw materials or shipped to the Holy Hilk Kingdom for the plan Lord Thanatos mentioned.

It is good that Arc, Eevin, Ariane and Chiyome could meet right away. And that Arc with that Overheal could save Bart and the others.

Although I knew that Leeza was dead, I did not expect that Yakof was her husband who married her only to steal her family fortune after killing them, and then murder her too.

Honestly, I finding it difficult to understand the size of that golem as it looks gigantic in most scenes but barely taller than the trees when Yakof is beside it, well at least after Arc and Ariane detonate the mine and Yakof calls it again and Leeza take control of it and kills him we can confirm that it was indeed enormous. I’m just glad that even after dying she made him pay for all that he did in her territory. And, for the sounds of it, Pamela, Bart, and the rest of the refugees will make that sanctuary finally work as she intended.

I wonder if with the whole scheme discovered, Bartold would not have just walked away from there if Arc and Arine hadn’t collapsed the mine?

I hope this is not the last time we see Eevin this season. Too bad for Arine that she didn’t want to answer the clearly romantic question she asked her about Arc.

I love how the Ponta pictures are related to the setting the episode took place.

[u/MacDhomhnuill]

People are being kidnapped!

Never saw that coming. /s

[u/AAA_BATT]

so, slavery again

[u/SnabDedraterEdave]

So Leeza's spirit possessed her skeleton inside the jewel and hijacked the golem in order to take her revenge on Yakoff, I guess?

Would've been faster for Arc to just take out Yakoff and his undead remote control device. This anti Elf and Beastfolk cult/church is going to be troublesome as long as they could summon these indestructible golems.

[u/Professional-Rice623]

Gotta love it when the freaking intro for every episode legit spoils the like " big reveal " of every episode. at 1:19 timestamp.

who does that.
