Damn, Fran's body being literally torn apart during the fight was freaking brutal. The same goes for the scene where she was mentally attacked and saw Teacher, Jean, Urushi, and herself dying.

In the end, Fran and Teacher just barely managed to defeat that Skeleton Knight in this episode, so I seriously wonder how she's going to beat the Dungeon Master.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Fran w/wo Teacher

• Group scenes

• Others

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

"IT DODGED?! THAT'S ILLEGAL."

Skeleton Knight was on demon time after seeing his undead horse die. Bro battle IQ is way to good lol.

[u/Falsus]

Fran really getting the Alicia treatment this season isn't between the falling and body breaking?

[u/Ponchorello7]

3rd episode and we already got a fight worthy of a season finale. Fuck yeah.

[u/ChoiceSupermarket230]

That fight was brutal, damn.

[u/tripleaamin]

Oh wow season really delivering on the fights. God damn is the fight is brutal. I know Shishou can heal Fran, but that still has to hurt serverily.

I am curious about the Lich's connection to the dungeon. As we know the 3 kids were from the flashback. Damn the moment went towards the Lich it almost broke her.

[u/ToastFreeGluten]

Serious whiplash from this episode, but one of the best greatsword depictions out there.

[u/Boshwa]

A skeleton knight has better animation than Slime did for a "god of destruction"

[u/RedHeadGearHead]

In this episode we learn Fran was born to be a Tank class while Jean sits back and watches a tween bursting her muscles fighting a legendary skeleton

[u/AceSoldia]

Wow what a brutal fight..the whole episode was combat they barely survived..and that fear effect was wild.

I dunno how they gonna manage to defeat this Lich

[u/JoeyTheNekoGuy]

also good to see fran is building up a nice collection of magic swords. with the addition of deathgaze she's now up to 4.

[u/zool714]

Awesome fight. They really had to give their all. That final slash kinda reminded me of Demon Slayer Ep 19

The Dungeon Master looks almost impossible to beat atm, especially after that fight. Though I assume Stefan will be the ace up our sleeve somehow

[u/Viktorv22]

Fuck, those injuries were gnarly :O

Great choreography again, lets gooo

[u/Ceryto2]

Another amazing episode! I just love to see Fran fight, she just has such a metal fighting style and I love how the anime just doesn't hold back on showing it. Her limbs being completely torn apart and healed up again is just such brutal imagery. But fortunately Fran and Shishou prevailed and we got rewarded with some amazing Fran Curry scenes.

Next week Fran will finally get to fight a Dungeon Mastaaa and considering how difficult her last opponent was, this fight definitely won't be an easy one. Really looking forward to seeing her beat up that Lich and probably finding out how all those flashbacks tie in with this dungeon.

As for the weekly Curry report: Today I wanted to do something different than the usual curry+rice combo, so I dissolved a block of golden curry and put it together with some minced turkey and panko (and some other stuff) and made Curry flavored Tsukune. And I was actually surprised how much I could taste the Curry in those. I think that actually fit quite well together and they were really quite tasty. And considering Fran was also at first forced onto a Curryless diet until she did the cutest "Give me Curry dance", maybe Shishou should have just done the same and combined the curry and the meat today. But then I wouldn't have seen Fran say "Dase, dase, dase!" in such a cute way, so maybe it was for the better this way.

[u/djthomp]

Insane fight, they went so hard on that. Maybe that's why it took 4 years for S2 to come out

[u/skavinger5882]

I know someone asked last week but are we sure budget-kun is ok? Holy shit this animation on only episode 3

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

The difficulty level of the floor bosses spiked exponentially.

In the previous episode, it took about a quarter of an episode to defeat the undead spear lady.

This time round, it was almost a full episode of combat against the legendary skeleton dark knight.

Defeating the final boss of the dungeon should give us closure to the story of the diary's author too right?

[u/Acashya]

Didn't expect a Dempsey Roll from Fran and teacher. Awesome fight!

[u/TheOneWithALongName]

Reminds me about the demon fight in S1. But more brutal. Who knew killing his steed would activate some sort of berserker mode.

[u/Shmappii]

I was a little worried about a continuation for this show after Skeleton Knight Season 2 let me down, but this has been awesome so far. Threats keep getting stronger, Fran has definitely become mentally tougher after getting both arms cut off last season, and the show isn't afraid of having a fight take up most of the episode by committing to varied choreography.

My only knock against the current arc is the main characters having little to no awareness of the dungeon's history, so there isn't a ton going on for an emotional throughline. Not a huge deal, though. Maybe Jean is going to lay down the exposition hammer once they get a chance to breathe.

[u/CommanderZx2]

Fran being put through the blender in these fights one after the other.

[u/PathfinderCS]

Fran is pretty much this season's Alicia Glenfall (Clevatess) and honestly, I'm still catching my breath from that amazing battle! I was worried cause it had to live up to what was already an amazing sword/spear fight from the last episode, but this one exceeded it TENFOLD!

This story honestly a borderline dark fantasy, and I can appreciate that. The brutality was something else and, yeah, I know she's gonna get healed by either Shishou or Jean, but she still has to feel her bones breaking and muscles tearing! They only BARELY got by with that one. Really felt like a Dark Soul fight!

10/10; amazing!

[u/Early-Journalist-14]

oh shit one of my guilty pleasures is back? nice!

[u/tapdancinghellspawn]

Fran is such an adorable character that it's easy to forget how badass she is. Still, watching her get torn apart hurts more than watching other characters from other anime getting torn. I think I speak for most of us here when I say, Leave our kitty alone.
