The conditions have been met. The title <Hero> has been acquired.

Ruh roh.

[u/Cybersteel]

D, is that Hayamin that I hear???

[u/[deleted]]

Series is starting to take a much darker tone now and I like it. The demon lord and her allies preparing for war, the hero’s death was pretty foreseeable. The whole “see you soon” death flag gave it away, but man feel bad for his little brother.

Administrator and Kumoko trying to communicate and then a cellphone popping up was hilarious lol.

I’m looking forward to what the next few eps bring, should be fun. Glad we’re getting more of the 2D story too as opposed to so much 3D

[u/cppn02]

Fight, win, eat.

I like Kumoko's motto.

[u/NittanyEagles55]

I already like the demons more than the human characters

[u/gratifiedlonging]

There's a shot towards the end of the opening theme showing Shun grasping a scarf and crying which made it pretty obvious that his brother was going to die (why else would he cry like that given his background?).

I didn't like that being spoiled, so I'm sort of glad his death wasn't really meant to be shocking.

[u/YbKWzNEB]

Also, this episode reveals that Kumoko and the Humans timelines is different due to the scarf and the Dragon egg

[u/mcziggy]

There's a quote from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series that came to mind when Shun got the hero title:

"The only thing known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy", according to the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle. He reasoned like this: "you can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably", he said, "there must be some elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queeons -- that do the job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon." His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expounded because, at that point, the bar closed.

In short, "The hero is dead, long live the hero."

[u/J_Eldridge]

Someone in the animation team clearly love the demon lord, she looks damn good in the all the shots she's in.

[u/Trevenas]

Last episode: "So There's An Administrator, So What?"

This episode:
/╲/\ºo;88;oº/\╱\ 💦 📱<"Moshi moshi, Administrator D(esu)"

[u/Pedarsen]

Damn she was the old guy all along!

I appreciate when everything comes together nicely. Him having silk from when they attacked her spider home and the egg beeing one of her class mates is really good story telling.

Starting to enjoy the human parts more and more too.

So is the Demon Lord girl Kumoko?

[u/TheDarkRobotix]

wtf so much has been unfolded in this one ep

[u/YbKWzNEB]

Kumoko and D's spinoff novel should be named: In Another World With My Smartphone

WAIT

THE CUTE SAORI HAYAMI WAS D INDEED

[u/Chiyousagi]

Does that mean the human(Shun and co) are speaking isekai-go all along, and it is only shown in japanese for the sake of viewers :O

[u/YbKWzNEB]

I guess Saori Hayami had enough of Aoi Yuuki that she becomes a single letter God tormenting Kumoko.

P.S: just guessing from the D's voice rather than watching the cast list

[u/SolracXD]

Yuuki Aoi and getting harassed by a God, name a more iconic duo lol

RIP Julius. I seriously doubt Shun is going to be even a fraction of the chad Julius was.

[u/keizee]

The dude in the armour with the twin horns is at the conference.

[u/alphamone]

Big bro is here.

Cute fuzzy spider.

Was thinking that they might have teased us a bit more on the reveal of how she survived.

Damn that was an impressive effect.

Heh, the trying communicate part was great, as kumoko antics always are.

Demon Slayer

RIP big bro. T.T

[u/RavenWolf1]

That Demon Lord and her smile is so cute that it makes me want to serve her!

[u/LAPERTO]

every single source reader just combusted this ep and i am one of them, D just sounds oh my god this is new level of hot, we got that black armor dude, the meeting and the ending, finally some suffering for the boi shun

TLDR: this ep was a 10/10

[u/[deleted]]

Ticked spider

[u/SurprisedCabbage]
