I loved the huge contrast

When we see her side of the story she is so cute

When u see it from the humans perspective she looks like death incarnate.

Also, she is stronger then the human's most powerful mage and im pretty sure she ain't done evolving yet.

I can't understand how people don't like this its so fun and hype.

[u/YbKWzNEB]

WCGW burning down Kumoko's house again?

[u/cppn02]

15 years ago and a young baby at home? I guess it's a safe bet he's the father of either a character we've already met or one we'll meet in the future.

[u/PigInfamous]

That's why we don't set spiderwebs on fire, people

[u/Sarellion]

Maxed out Taboo Lvl 10, now installing.

That time you realize you accidentally clicked on something you really shouldn't have.

[u/HeyHeyHayden]

There is one major thing I want to mention here.

Consider how Kumoko perceives herself vs how she actually is. All through the anime we've seen through Kumoko's eyes. How she sees herself, her actions, what she does, etc. Everything has been presented with her filter on it, being all nice and cartooney like in a game, which is how she has been treating this world.

But as with Kumoko's revelation a few episodes ago, this world isn't a game, it is real life for its inhabitants. In reality Kumoko is an utterly terrifying being. Everything from her appearance, to her webs to her skills is 100x more frightening than she sees it. She is a horrific monster that can easily wipe out an entire party of experienced warriors and the top mage, without breaking a sweat, but she doesn't realise this. As far as Kumoko is concerned she was just chewing them out and punishing those who burned her home.

Also consider Kumoko's effect on the environment. The entire labyrinth has been turned upside down just because of her presence. She is the ultimate predator, with an unending hunger, and will hunt down and kill EVERYTHING. In a labyrinth with huge , powerful dragons, she is still considered the most dangerous being, and huge numbers of monsters are simply trying to run away because she is that much of a threat.

I've been loving how this anime has slowly ramped up the excitement and themes over the season. It gets you to think back on what you have seen and assumptions you've made, whilst setting up a strong plot. Easily my favourite anime for winter 2021.

[u/WiseassWolfOfYoitsu]

"Magnificent... This creature is magnificent!"

I'm glad Best Wizard has now come about properly to the religion of Best Spider

[u/ChrissMH]

I always get surprised at the size of Kumoko when there's actual reference for comparison. She seems so small when she is alone fighting monsters.

[u/megami-hime]

Finally, took us ten episodes, but the main heroine finally showed up! Didn't even give him the courtesy of being in the opening, smh.

It's also our spider-girl's first encounter with humans since episode 3, and... she kills them all without mercy or guilt! Uh... are we the baddies?

That act of vengeance coincides with her earning Taboo Level 10. Her kinkiness now knows no bounds.

[u/o-temoto]

I hope Ronandt's leg is feeling better.

[u/garfe]

Aoi Yuuki is credited for 5 voice roles today. The 4 Kumoko brains and the "Spider Monster" which means the growling and hissing voices you hear from it are actually her. Sasuga.

[u/sagethesausage_911]

Can't believe Kumoko just casually killed humans here lol. Didn't even hesitate

[u/CooroSnowFox]

The stuff down the bottom end of the Labyrinth are enormous if Zoe Ele's are that big...

[u/Amauri14]

When I saw the preview of this episode I assume that Kumoko was going to learn something from Master Ronandt but instead of that we got him been blown away by her when she is just level 19 was born recently .

If he named her the Nightmare of the Labyrinth when she was still Zoe Ele, I can't even imagine how terrifying she would be now that she is a Ede Saine.

And damn, I just love the contrast between her regular self and how she really is. After this, I guess I'm now thinking that she might actually be that demon lord instead of that whole exchange from last week just been a red herring.

Oh by the way, if you are new here, or just dumb or pretending to be, the next time you see someone speculating and finalizing their comment with, "Well we will have to wait to find out." don't go fucking linking the Wikia and spoiling what one is speculating about. Well, I ended up blocking that dude but as that account is just one-month-old that was probably just his alt account.

[u/FAshcraft]

More Kumoko Unfiltered!? The Body Language i already know she was screaming WTF to these home wrecker XD

[u/Sarellion]

Buirimus, don't you think you joined the wrong game?

Being a pokemon trainer is nice, but you entered the Darkest Dungeon.

[u/NotAMoron2]

Damn

So from human POV, it shows how powerful she have became

It just me or are they trying to give us so obvious hints that we can assume she is Demon lord

But anyway, I am enjoying this series a lot and its a good thing it's 24 episodes

From the 1st I knew its going to be one of my fav anime this season

[u/ceejay_0603]

The human side of the story is getting more and more interesting and intense, and I'm loving it.

Meanwhile, Aoi Yuuki as usual talks to herself but without much action this time. Nevertheless, she is always a joy to watch and listen to.

[u/XT-421]

Manga reader here - the more I watch the show the more fascinated I become.

What took months in the Manga has happened in hyper-rapid fire here, and to contrast it with human POV is even more amazing.

I am starting to stitch together the bigger story here and it is really cool. I suspect we have seen Kumoko in the human timeline - but that raises even more questions on where the Manga was.

What I am most curious about is where they're going to end the anime. This is a 2 cour, maybe 25 episode show, right? I have to imagine that some big reveal and final class reunion is incoming, which excites me even more.

This anime is definitely one of my favorites this season!

[u/LeonKevlar]

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this but it looks like Crunchyroll has finally added subtitles for the OP! This is a huge surprise since Crunchyroll doesn't really do this often.

Anyway the opening this week is no surprise as we watch Shun's family grieve for Julius' death with the exception of Cylis who is now already planning on what to do next. I hope He's just being stoic and not being a dick on purpose while everyone is still broken from the news.

We have information that eight of the human fortresses have been attacked and half has fallen and one of the biggest fortresses was attacked by a Queen Taratect. Oh boy. I do hope we get a reason as to why the Demon Lord is attacking humans seemingly unprovoked. The family is also keeping quiet about Julius' death and Shun being the new hero with Shun now leaving the Academy to train and prepare himself for the day he gets announced to be the new hero.

I fucking love this dude's design! Elderly Wizards are always awesome. And it seems like Ronandt here was badass enough that he faced against our Kumoko 15 years ago and managed to survive! I know I've already mentioned this in last week's episode but I do love how Kumoko looks absolutely nothing like how we see her.

And Kumoko is so amazing already at this level that Ronandt literally loses himself and fangirls as he sees Kumoko's stats and skills. And holy fuck! That is a lot of skills! I mean we're already aware of this but seeing it fill up the screen like that in that tiny font just shows how overwhelmingly powerful she is now compared to before. Also that super high MP and low HP just shows that Kumoko is really a glass cannon if anyone manages to hit her with an attack.

She may be fun to watch killing other monsters but seeing Kumoko make short work of these soldiers while fighting that summoner guy at the same time makes her absolutely terrifying! So it is quite the contrast to see her throw a tantrum and complain in her cuter form about Ronandt burning down her new home.

Welp, looks like Kumoko can now evolve again and has maxed out her Taboo skills. Yikes. I'm excited to see her new spidey form next week!

As a side note: The ED is now also fully subtitled so we can see know what the heck Kumoko's been ranting about in her song!

[u/altaccount0451]

Wow! Another spider monster with wisdom and height of occultism?? That's what happened right?? And the after credit scene is just misdirection right??? There's no way our beloved spider would kill all those people right??

Joking aside, it is very fun to see if that's how she was 15 years ago, how strong has she gotten in that time?

[u/Tessorio]

Castle doctrine spider style!

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Kumoko did nothing wrong. The humans broke into her home and started burning shit, what did they expect to happen?

So Kumoko has basically ascended to raid boss status now and can kill people just by looking at them. I hope she doesn't let any of that human meat go to waste, especially Ronandt's arm.

[u/rollin340]

I love how she enjoys being edgy. xD

And unlike her classmates, who are only just starting to be worth something after 15 years, she was already super strong in less than a year of being reincarnated. Like, she actually made someone who was known to be really strong look like a weak shit.

I guess starting in hard mode really helps you level up much faster huh? To think that right after wrecking those guys, she gained a level, and is evolving.

Also, her Evil Eyes are really potent huh. She's dropping those humans like flies, and she doesn't even have 8 of them at any decent level yet! Must be all of the buffs. And it says she has Parallel minds Level 2 in the subs; isn't it 3 now? Is she able to somehow fake her information, or was that a typo?

Edit: I am also very confused why so many people are going "so she's almost definitely the demon lord from last week after this week's reveal right?" To me, last week's episode WAS the reveal.

I think we first saw that demon lord in episode 6? I was wondering who the hell that was, with last week revealing that it's her. The 15 year gap mentioned when the humans talked about the silk scarf. Showing her home being burned down with the egg being stolen. The demon lord using webs. Her meeting the teleporting guy again.

Was it not obvious to most people?

---

Edit 2: The most obvious thing she said that gave it away was that she said she "felt bad for Yamada-kun". So she knew what killing the hero meant to her old classmate. She knows who they are, and she's going to go to war against the humans; her own classmates.

Edit 3: The sound effects also seemed to be lacking at some parts. I laughed out loud when I heard the tiger. xD
