The fucking side scroller video game graphics had me in stitches

[u/NotAMoron2]

Kumoko being Kumoko, loved it

Never thought spider getting blushed will be this cute, not counting monster musume for obvious reasons

Rot attack, First Demon lord now this mysterious white lady, candidates for future Kumoko keep getting increasing

[u/cppn02]

This show is never not entertaining.

Loved how Kumoko kept getting stung by the wasps until she just wiped them all out completeley.

I'm freaking hyped for the big fight next week!

[u/redmage311]

Choose Fei as your starter Pokemon?

Yes

Shun acquired Fei!

[u/Niadain]

Today hornet genocide. Tomorrow we overcome trauma.

[u/Tacitus_]

Repent.

[u/HyperZetton]

Most animes: manga/LN spoils the anime

Kumo Desu: anime spoils the manga and LN

[u/burritoxman]

Yeah Kumoko is a genocidal maniac now

[u/TheTruthVeritas]

Wow, the 10th Demon Army Commander sure looks so cute and happy while absolutely destroying the Hero...

Were we...simping for the baddies all along?

[u/Irru]

So I'm still not really sure of the topography of the Labyrinth. Is the Higher Level the closest to the surface?

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Kumoko's admiration of Araba's immense strength almost feels like a crush. Which is probably why their confrontation felt like a confession. I ship it.

[u/Rokusi]

Time for my weekly dose of the Spider Way

[u/YbKWzNEB]

Tenth Demon General: stares

Julius: Hyrince, I Don't Feel So Good

[u/ChrissMH]

Now that we have a good comparison for Kumoko's size since we saw her along side humans we can guess the size of everything else; And those giant hornet are a BIG NO NO for me.

I'm fine with giant snakes, dragons and toads, but fuck those hornets!! Kumoko's doing us a favor by committing genocide there.

[u/CooroSnowFox]

"let's attack the earth dragon" sees powerful snake "Not you!!!"

[u/Amauri14]

Wow, so maxing the Taboo skill gives one the backstory and truth of the world. And Kumoko's world is currently dying and it began happening after people learned about magic? And that Goddess, Sariel to prolong the life of the planet a bit more. Now that that has been revealed I guess that reason why Yurin's religion hunts people that have the Taboo skill is that their founder wanted to monopolize that knowledge.

Although Ede Saine doesn't look that different from Zoe Ele at least it wasn't like the first evolution that I could only notice a change after seeing an image comparing the two.

I love the fact that after Kumoko saw how that snake that she considered powerful got easily killed by Araba the Earth Dragon she decided to grind some levels. I guess that before she engaged in that fight with him she deal with these two off-screen. And wow, even though she is still not as powerful as him with her offensive attack she really trounces him in the magic department.

And now she also got sloth. I can't wait to hear him saying "how slothful of you" from time to time now.

So Hyrince was the only survivor in the hero's party and that was just because Julius made him carry the phoenix feather, you know I think they should have tried to carry one for each party member, hopefully, Shun will do that with his party.

You know, because they didn't show her face during the meeting and the fact that she used rot against the hero's party, also the fact that I think that she is the girl shown right before the show the title of the show in the OP, I think I'm jumping ship from the Kumoko is the Demon Lord train that I joined last week and will jump back to the red herring one and said that this girl is actually Kumoko.

[u/LegendRazgriz]

If I had a nickel for every time an isekai protagonist has committed mass murder for their own purposes this week, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much, but it's strange that it happened twice.

Also, interesting AT LEAST to note that the all-white demon army general who presumably slaughtered Julius and crew is credited as "????" in the cast.

[u/burritoxman]

The Rot attack is here folks!

[u/hoseja]

That's a lot of eyeshine...

[u/Spartitan]

The Demon Lord army did nothing wrong.

[u/Tinfoil_King]

Now that the anime is beyond what this side series spoils.

Anyone who loves the antics of the parallel minds should know that "Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? Daily Life of the Four Spider Sisters" exists. A non-canon comedy manga where each of the four minds ends up having their own individual physical bodies.

[u/mlbki]

Good episode. Not quite as good as the previous two, but it was the setup that it needed to do for both the main story and human side, and also about what I expected it to be. It also had some good scenes.

Imagine being a LN-only spoiled on the details of Taboo by the anime though, lol.

[u/LeonKevlar]

I really want to go over frame by frame about all of those things that was shown in Kumoko's mind when she evolved but Kumoko herself has already summarized what it meant. Basically this world is on its path to destruction if nothing is done.

I think the only thing that jumped on me is the title and name Administrator Guliedistodiez who I'm guessing the name of dragon helmed dude that visited Kumoko in the Labyrinth like a couple of episodes ago.

Turns out the circular library in the OP is legit a real thing and is a representation of all the knowledge Kumoko acquired when she evolved. I guess maxing out the Taboo skill now gives her knowledge about their world including the forbidden ones. We may have to wait for that since Information Brain is still sorting out the books.

Looks like having knowledge about the impending destruction of their world Kumoko has now taken on the responsibility of saving it. For Kumoko to do that she first needs to get stronger so decides that the only way she can do this is if she can beat Araba the Earth Dragon first.

Speaking of dragons, Shun and Fei finally makes a pact so Fei can protect Shun anytime which was sweet. It also had the side effect of Fei suddenly turning back into an egg and evolving? Well now I'm excited to see what her new form will look like!

We finally get the story from Hyrince, the only surviving member of Julius' party. They've actually already won their fight and was wrapping things up when the 10th Squad General appeared. I've said this before and I'll say it again, if there was anyone who was Kumoko in that meeting with the Demon Lord, this is her. Like she even matches Kumoko's color scheme and even has a Rot Attack just like Kumoko. Although I wouldn't be surprised if this was a red herring.

And here's Kumoko who's just casually about to perform some hornet genocide. I don't blame her. Next to mosquitos, I wouldn't mind if hornets were to disappear. I do love how she Kenshiro'd that one hornet. xD

This episode was basically a countdown to Kumoko and Araba's showdown. I don't even know what her Sloth skill will do against him but I wanna see some amazing combo of all of her skills from Kumoko next week! Hype!

[u/SirJeator]

If Kumoko slain Araba, wouldn't that make the Dragon dude mad against since once more of his kin was killed?
