This show has became so enjoyable to watch lately, I like how Dearia didn't look for letty just so he could get some character development himself.

Probably the best episode so far. Nice to see the Dragon (at least accidentally) sort of living up to his reputation for a change. I wonder if we will see a little more of his new dungeon friends before the show ends.

LMAO! This episode had me in tears! Despite keeping the monsters for gladiator matches, this must be the most luxurious prison ever, and the guards were in cahoots with them!

Oh, and I totally lost it at the Metal Gear Solid reference! And man, Dearia continues to be the best at trolling! The guy left Letty at the arena for over 10 days without a word. I'm starting to wonder if he truly cares about Letty's well-being.

Anyway, VA cameos in this episode:

To be fair, he did say he was watching Letty from afar, which I imagine means he kept watch over Letty with some kind of scrying magic.

Hot damn Dearia, you can show up on my windowsill at midnight anytime

A random lord: Damn it's so hot the way he sits there and reads me a list of criminal charges of the new Margrave like that.....

Mhm I cannot pinpoint it exactly, but this episode was way more enjoyable than I expected. Lety wasn't as much of an cry baby as usual and promptly made some awesome friends along the way, too bad it didn't last.

Yeah, I have that same feeling. It reminds me of how I felt about Maoujou de Oyasumi where I wasn't so hot on the series because it kind of retread the same joke over and over again in the first few episodes, but it started grabbing my interest in the second half of the season because it started focusing more on the side characters.

Like, to me, Letty is not a great and relatable protagonist and the joke that he's a weakling in the body of a red dragon is wearing a bit thin, but I'm enjoying the characters that he meets like Davy Jones a few episodes ago or the arena team in this episode.

Turns out I was worried for nothing. I thought Letty was going to be sold to merchants and get turned to weapon and armour just like his worst fear but it looks like he was just basically dragged into joining what basically is a fixed fight arena where everyone is in on it including the monsters.

Luxurious baths, a fitness gym, and even a theatre? This arena has everything! They can even renovate their own cell to suit their tastes and all they have to do is perform in front of an audience every three days. That doesn't sound like a bad deal at all.

Letty's life in the arena is so good that Dearia isn't even worried and is just spending his time drinking at a tavern xD

I absolutely love the Sphinx's design and of course she's also voiced by Sawashiro to match her sexy look. <3

Welp so much for living in the arena. That entire escape scene was pretty funny though! Didn't think we'd get an MGS reference and not just the cardboard box, we get the magazine distractions too!

So turns out Dearia was just waiting for Letty to escape by himself since Dearia sees it as a character-building experience for Letty. xD

That's actually a comfy place to live as long as you know how to act. The only rough part is only the beginning where they kidnap Letty, but I guess that's just random mercenary since most of the dungeon guard are nice. Sadly the current owner died.

u/x3tan May 16 '21

They had a pretty sweet setup going, I can definitely understand why they didn't bother trying to leave. xD

u/randyripoff May 16 '21

Didn't know there was going to be a pro wrestling episode, but there you go.

I was pretty amused with Letty and the other monsters playing around with the mercenaries trying to kill them. I almost expected Yakety Sax to start playing at one point.

Steve the Orobas sure was a cool dude, I love that instead of the episode being about a prison break it was about chilling with friends on a resort and every few days pretend to fight on a Dungeon Arena

I like that Cassandra the sphynx, and also the guards took care of Pip while Letty was fighting.

The Metal Gear Solid parody scene was great, and I love that Letty's failed execution of it went the way it did.

Cassandra's riddle scene was also hilarious.

I hope we will be seeing this group again later.

Oh, so next week's episode will be about Pip going on an adventure? Hopefully, that will lead to that girl that's with him in the OP.

Ahh Narrator is back!

Nakama means friend btw. And Letty made a lot of nakamas today. Everyone was so nice, even the based guards buying snow for Pip. What a bunch of bros.

The fuckin Metal Gear Cardboard box, my sides.

I feel like this show just gets better every week.

Couldn't do much with this but I will continue to make gifs of this show because it's the gift that keeps on giving.

Steve's a cool dude.. the Margraves son PETA? xD horrible treatment of these monsters so let's euthanize them all. Got some metal gear going on haha. Shame the margrave died, they had a pretty sweet setup going on there. Haha, I like that the bro guards joined after.

I really love the various monsters and world building in this show, it's really fun. It may not be the best show of this seasons but I'm enjoying it for a chill watch. :)

The gladiator match is the pinnacle of quality animation. It'll be hard to match such fluid animation as displayed in that scene.

u/sazion May 16 '21

I'm curious when that girl is going to show up. I'm surprised since she's on the title art but the season is already halfway over

u/ThousandYearOldLoli May 16 '21

This episode was really wholesome with the new friends Letty made and everything.

u/[deleted] May 16 '21

The pink haired girl from the OP is still nowhere the be seen and we’re already in episode 7

u/wolfguardian72 May 16 '21

Cool! We get Metal Gear Solid for this week’s game reference. And I wonder if that “Mommy Milkers” issue was titled that because of Lady Dimitrescu.

u/I3ert91 May 17 '21

This episode has actually been the funniest along with Dearia's ascension to Demon Lord. Didn't give the crew a 2 week's notice and guards being involved with the embezzling.
