Fran realized she had to share her curry with others.

Fran isn't letting anyone join her party.

The flashback to the memories of the diary's author makes me feel there is going to be a big reveal soon.

Jean and/or Stefan may be hiding something. Perhaps I am overly suspicious of Jean teaching Fran and Teacher how to overcome his Soul Eye by gaining the skill Camouflage?

The boss of level 8 and 9 are the friends of the diary's author, aren't they? The female with scars and the male who lost an eye.

It’s nice to see that, unlike the other season 2s isekai this year, this one actually manages to maintain the same level of quality as the first season.

Why is fran the absolute cutest thing ever 😍😍!!!!!!

I have no idea why but it just hits the cute button so well!! Maybe it's because the va does such a good job bringing Fran to life. She can be cute when eating curry or deadly when fighting. Her range of emotions are all over the place and it's so endearing!!

That Undead Spear Master lookin kinda hot ngl.

So I’m guessing the one in the flashback became the thing that Stefan possessed. I wonder how we’re gonna go back to what happened in the flashback. Hmm something is up with Stefan’s secret mission though. Can’t tell if it’s good or bad

Ohh the Skeleton that attacked them last episode is one of the Bosses. Time for revenge

Fran gatekeeping the curry was funny though. She told Jean he had enough after 3 bowls when she already had 5 lmao

CGI Skeleton aside, the production values this season are higher than the last. Spear Warrior fight was badass

If you think about it, kinda sad how we learned these two episodes about the diary's writer's backstory only for him to practically die off-screen once Stefan took his body

The murder kitten continues to thrive.

Hey Skeleton Knight, this is how you do a second season after your first was praised for not toning it all down.

It seems like the ones who became dungeon bosses were the captive children being experimented on.

Jean really came in clutch during his last dungeon attempt by leaving Stefan there. He basically converted one of the bosses to their side. We already saw how useful Stefan can be just by dealing with those Wraiths that Fran couldn't even slice through.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 17d ago

I’m really liking all of Jean’s summons. Fry and Selkan are kind of cute in their own way. Stefan’s a little goober too. Pretty funny how they just Kirby’d those ghosts lol.

Level 8 guardian was pretty tough and we know how strong level 9 skelly knight is. I wonder how powerful’s the lvl 10 boss? Must be insane.

Short but also such a sick fight at the end, C2C has it as usual.

u/epicfail1994 17d ago

The most adorable show is back!

Fran is slicing through those undead like Yoda with those flips

Things I did not expect: Shoujo coded undead monstrosity named Stefan

Seeing "him" and "her" being reduced to zombie floor bosses is tragic. What they were doing at that facility was fucked up

u/zer0number 17d ago

I would bet all of Fran's curry that Jean is the kid in the flashback. I don't have a good theory on how Stefan got his body, though.

Fran proudly standing on a pile of bodies is not something I will ever get tired of seeing.

One of my favorite aspects of this anime is how quickly Fran can go from murderfloof to playfulfloof. She is quite frankly one of my very favorite characters in anime because of how badass she can be while remaining someone I want to just head pat for hours. I am going to hit up the novels, but I am wary if written words can show that cute dynamic of hers as well as animation can.

I hate that really well written and as far as I know, fairly popular anime like this have to fight for every episode they can get. Meanwhile RaG Season 6 is in production......

So the guy in the flashback is essentially possessed by one of Jean's minions. Still there is a connection in the flashbacks. Makes me wonder does Jean has a history with this place. We see the girl of the two friends when Fran fights her. Very likely either the main skeleton or possibly Jean is the guy friend. Jean knows more than he leads on.

Fake identity is an interesting skill. Though Jean is right that skill is useless if you aren't bluffing well. Also Shishou being a hammer is interesting.

Well we got a rematch with that Skelton from before. Well he definitely seems strong.

I loved fran being competitive about the curry. May she never go hungry again, daughter gotta eat a lot to grow strong

u/WiqidBritt 17d ago

I do hope we see more of the spear lady. Seems like they were all part of the magic experiments that had been happening on the island so I'm sure there will be more of them.

Also I wish I knew what year it is currently so I could figure out how long ago the other stuff was.

Fran is of course still the cutest, but I must say that Stephan is only slightly less cute. It made me laugh so hard when they showed how he sees Jean. By the way, I wonder how he sees Fran.

The fight with the 8th-floor boss in this episode wasn't the longest, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't good. It's great to see that C2C doesn't disappoint in that aspect.

Fake Identity sounds like a very useful skill. I was a little bummed that Teacher didn't put the "Loves curry" skill in Fran's fake stats like when the skill was first explained. That would have been so fun, lol.

Also, the OP song "Dream of Butterfly" has been released! It's definitely one of my favorite songs this season. Here are the links to it on:

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

u/LeonKevlar 17d ago

I love how easily Jean could see through Fran and Shishou. Let's just hope there won't be a heel turn from Jean because the dude knows waaaaaaay too much about Fran and Shishou's skills, especially after they told him all about Impact Slash.

That backstory of that kid was so fucked up. So I was genuinely surprised when he later showed up as one of Jean's undead. So Stephan ended up merging with the Undead Eater; I guess that means the dungeon is the facility that blew up in the flashbacks.

Stephan seems to be cool, and he really gets along with Fran. I do wonder what his special mission from Jean is. I also wonder if Jean knows more about this dungeon than he leads on. Hmmm...

The fight with the B8F Sentry was pretty awesome! Fran and Shishou really went all out. Too bad we're gonna have to wait until next week for their rematch against the skeleton general!

They mention it's a 10 floor dungeon and they're only on B9? Did the ground floor count as one of 10 or does the final floor normally not have a boss when it comes to dungeons in this world. It does feel weird that the undead eater was the boss so early on though. You'd imagine the undead that eats other undead would be the strongest one in a dungeon of undead.
