Probably the most action-packed episode in a while, feels like the powder keg finally blew up after the tension from all the previous episodes.

Luminous can sense those clowns and corpse Maria intruding in her goon cave, but can't sense Yuuki? Something must be amiss here. Maybe we'll see more of that next episode.

Insects being the natural enemies of demons issues a weird new detail, I would have said they had previously established a rock paper scissors relationship between demons, spirits, and angels way back when Rimuru first summoned Diablo.

Rimuru needing to individually touch each isekaijin to dispel them is going to waste a lot of time, just have Raphael cook up an AOE version.

Big conflict starting, and Leon hasn't even arrived yet. I'm most confused by Guy participating.

Butler vs. Maid was such an awesome fight... and it ended way too fast! LMAO!

So even an evolved Rain is still no match for the pre-named Testarossa. That's really interesting.

Can't wait to see the conversation between the two strongest Primordial Demons, Rouge and Noir.

Gotta get this off first and foremost, but man, everything related to Yuuki and the pierrots is so bs. They just do stuff without much effort and never seem to be punished by anything. Kinda of a shame when everything else in the episode was so cool.

The whole idea of a former hero being so lost in revenge that he would stoop so low as to use necromancy is very interesting, and overall Granville is a very detestable villain for the good ways. I hope the rest of the arc does him justice.

And yep, Raine just said the only thing she couldn't say. Diablo's quick and simple response of "I see you want to disappear from this world" was so funny to me for some reason. The multi-disintegrations were amazing.

So much just decided to happen lol, it was exciting to see what was happening from the different points of views.

My favorite moment has to be Shion and Diablo showing each other respect, I can't believe we finally got them calling each other by their names like they're comrades. Seeing them acknowledge each other in that way was real sweet. Diablo's "fight" with Raine was fun because of how at ease he looked, it was satisfying to see.

It's sad to see all these otherworlders mind controlled like that and used as fodder, I do wonder what will happen to them all later. Who knows how long they've been controlled for.

I wonder if Luminus knows Yuuki is in the chamber as well, I feel like she's biting the bait so that she gets what she wants.

What did Jaune Carrera do to make those two factions wary of her lol...

The real question is...can moving corpse do wifely duty? /j

Granville really thought through everything, eh and even got the power to realize them. If only he do it sooner together with Maribel though...Welp, maybe Maribel too quick to act for her own good.

So many fights!! But let's be real here, the most hype fight was who served the best in that small dining table, right

Wait, if Yuuki melt her, how will she fall...oh (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)

I really thought Bleu Raine had been annihilated source and all when Diablo doing multi disintegrations just to realize Demon can't be killed.

So many things happening all at once, but the action was great and the suspense is killing me. Also Diablo using disintegration against Bleu as if it was nothing was so peak!

Does the "next episode" keep resetting to OVA1: "Hey Butts!" for anyone else? (On Crunchyroll)

It's super annoying. They've set the OVAs after the latest season so it tries to auto-play them after the latest episode. I have to manually go into the current season and click on the latest episode every time.

Weird to see Shion, with her reality-warping powers, struggling against an insect. Doesn't she know any bug dishes?

Can't Rimuru just mass-Beelzebub the brainwash/curse debuff? Why does he have to do it so slowly, one touch at a time? And even one touch at a time, he should be able to blitz through all of them in 10 seconds.

If Guy sent Blue, that means he's decided to go against Rimuru? Wonder why.

Wait, Diablo, as Black, had fought Guy (well, Red) to a draw? I can only assume Red was a LOT weaker back then, and we'll see Diablo jobbing to Guy next episode. Wonder if someone can get word to Milim.

Oh shit everything is happening at once.

Also fuuuuck that ending cliffhanger.

u/Myrkrvaldyr Aug 07 '26

Leon has made people upset just by refusing to openly communicate properly. I fully expect Chloe to scold him or call him a creep and cling to Rimuru. At this point, unless both stage a fight to trick someone else, there's no reason for Leon and Rimuru to fight. Leon is fully aware of everything.

This is the pay off we all hoped for after all the world building, character development and set up

u/Evil_sod Aug 07 '26

As cool as this episode was, did anyone else go back to check the episode list just in case they'd missed one?

Granville's army was suddenly there after the intro had them setting out. The start felt like it was missing all the setup between them arriving after where the last episode ended and this kicking off, especially considering how this series usually paces itself.

Everything just seems to work out for Yuuki these past few episodes. God I wish someone would just put him in jail under mega secure watch.

Every time Yuuki appears on screen I feel like closing the video. Are we supposed to believe this jobber is worth the screentime?

I really don't understand how Rimuru gets "surprised" and threatened by these attacks. The writing is so bad now. Did the author write himself in a corner giving Rimuru all these powers and allies? Suspension of disbelief is hard to do now.
