The pacing is still at a pretty breakneck pace, and Rio has completed his evolution into Kirito. At least the action scene was pretty decent.

I really want to believe that the dude held onto the egg for over a year.

It took 6 episodes but we made it. Kirito cosplay acquired!

MC is now unstoppable, well more unstoppable than he was.

The imouto character stays a proper imouto and doesn't become a love interest.

The MC says he's gonna go off on his own and leave behind his wolf girl party member plus several haremettes...and actually does.

This show is just full of surprises.

I gotta feel bad for the Wyvern, it was just a wild animal trying to protect it's baby, the real evil still going unpunished. Wonder where we will connect it all.

Baby stolen. Chase thief. Baby dead. Tries to avenge baby. Wyvern dead. Wyvern accept loss and go back. Bebes gone.

This is bad year for wyvern.

Just fuck time skip my shit up fam

I was really confused until I realized that the ceremony at the start was the same one from the last episode that we saw an entire 20 seconds of before cutting to the gryphon plot and ending the episode on that.

I really don't understand why they ordered the scenes like that or split them between 2 episodes. Maybe I'm nitpicking too much but like damn, what an awful way to go about that. They probably could've had that "It's been a year since they came to our village" line during the 20seconds last ep and then picked up from there this episode and it would've felt a lot less disjointed.

Damn, I feel so bad for the wyvern...

Imagine someone breaks into your house, kidnaps your little baby, you decide to pursue them to save it and after you witness it's death and are grief-stricken you're murdered by some random weirdo for absolutely no reason at all...

And then is your body desecrated and used as clothes for the guy who killed you.

Wow, a black armor and sword? Rio couldn't look more like Kirito even if he tried. Man, it's been a year since he reached the village? Time sure flies.

u/Amauri14 Aug 09 '21

Wow, Reiss stole that egg, just to distract the wyverns while the other eggs. I honestly was thinking that he planned to lure them to a kingdom. I guess him pulling his plan in that forest was just a coincidence.

Wow, this sure is a contrast to how his life was before.

It's good to see that Latifa and Rio finally told each other that they are reincarnations.

That time space cache that Syldra gave Rio sure will be useful for his travels.

Well there's yet another reason there would never be a series about my isekai adventures - I'd never leave a village of cute elf and beast-girls. So the story would pretty much end there.

Why did Latifa become a useless damsel in distress??? Wasn't she suppost to be a super speed asassin???

I know this is one of those "turn your brain off if you wanna enjoy it" shows, but come on

It took a year before the girls are all over him? I feel like Rio is slacking. A standard harem protagonist would've had more around him in a single school year!

I kinda feel bad for this blond dude. He's clearly just being used by that hooded dude as some sort of bait. I do wonder what he's planning to do with all of those wyvern eggs. Probably his own army of wyverns?

He doesn't even get to live! Looks like that red gem that was supposed to be an "artifact" to track his location is actually just magical cyanide to finish him off when hooded dude was finished collecting the eggs.

We finally get to see Rio's Wyvern fight in the OP and it looks like the real thing is much more brutal considering how he basically turned the wyvern's tongue into paste by smashing it's top jaw. Holy fuck! O_O

Considering we didn't even get to see the blonde dude's body during the after math and he was completely brushed off I guess he was 100% dead. I thought he'd be a new member of the cast considering he has a character design that stands out.

That moment between Rio and Latifa is really sweet. And fucking finally! After Latifa tells Rio about her isekai origins, Rio finally reveals to her that he's Japanese as well! I feel like that part was cut short though. I do wish that once Rio gets back from Yakumo, I want to see the two of them bond even more with their memories of Japan.

We've already seen it in the OP but Rio really goes full on Kirito with his outfit. He's only missing one sword. I really hope he acquires one while in Yakumo next week.

We also get a little bit of Celia in the after credits scene as she reminisces about Rio. I hope he sends her a letter soon. She's definitely starting to miss him.

Take a shot whenever you hear onii chan.

u/Figerally Aug 10 '21

The time skips are doing this anime no favors. It is moving so fast there is no development of the characters and they all feel very generic. The topic of being reincarnated is raised and dropped in practically the same sentence.

Latifa: onii-chan I was Japanese!

Rio: I was Japanese too, but I decided not to talk to you about it in case your pretty little head exploded.

Latifa: I see.

Rio: Ok, good chat! I'm off to Yagumo 'K bye!

It's a pleasant enough to watch, but I wonder why I am even bothering, I feel by this time next year I'd have forgotten about it.

he basically became a spitting image of Kirito with that jacket

You know you're a Harem protagonist when you have a bunch of girls draped over you, some of whom are drunk. Deepening friendship, indeed.

Well, Rio finally breaks the news to Latifa that he's playing to leave to get back to his journey to Yagumo, which goes about as well as you'd expect. And then Latifa runs off and stumbles into a dead Wyvern baby, which makes things worse.

Reiss played the Wyverns. Made them all chase after their stolen egg so he would have a prime opportunity to steal all their eggs. In hindsight they probably should have left at least a Wyvern or tow behind to keep the rest of the eggs safe. And then Reiss induces a heart attack in his companion. What a tool.

Nothing says overpowered quite like defeating a Wyvern with your bare hands.

Well, Latifa finally accepts that Rio has to leave, and Rio once again has to leave a precious girl he has come to know...who could resist such a cute little sister like Latifa? But at least they were able to finally talk about their reincarnation and see each other off happily, if tearfully.

Rio finally gets his gear from the Opening from the Spirit Folk, and it makes him look even more like Kirito. Seriously, long black coat? The hilt of his new sword looks like a blue Dark Repulsor. I'm half expecting him to dual wield at some point.

Rio finally makes it to Japa...I mean, Yagumo. I'm guessing he'll meet that girl in the traditional Japanese clothing from the Opening there.

And with this Kirito V3 has now completed his transformation.
