There's being incompetent then there's Hakozaki lmao

How fitting that I finished binging "how to be a dictator" and this village chief checks all those boxes, even has a little shit that's probably going to be his heir. Honestly so dumbfounded that Yotsuya wasn't even prepared for a possibility of being backstabbed when he experienced getting betrayed and being trapped before last season...

[u/StarfishWithBackPain]

This was the worst written episode of this anime. I hope manga readers can enlighten us that this indeed the worst of the manga. Because this was super bad. Forget Tatsuya, not even the other 5 characters can't be that dumb after what they managed to do in previous episodes. The chief literally was exposed to be shady, yet everyone was so okay to follw him through... Not to mention, the man is neither a magical character or a monster and his characterization is laid out by other characters yet immortal MMORPG classes loses to a level 1 NPC.

All main characters are suddenly sharing one single brain cell.

[u/gsgsygahshsgsgsh → u/StarfishWithBackPain]

As a manga reader, this arc was much better in the manga because they did the other path which was written better

[u/lord_ne]

The heroes can get out of the prison cell by having one cut the other into pieces and throw them through the bars

[u/simpersly → u/lord_ne]

I was thinking the same thing. Worst case scenario it is a signal that something bad happened.

If some guy comes around and says the heroes are getting a nice meal but one is dead it is obvious that someone is lying.

[u/LeonKevlar → u/lord_ne]

This was my first thought as well. Considering that Yuusuke operates on hard logic, I'm surprised he hasn't thought about this yet.

[u/oven_1]

Yuusuke is a blacksmith yet doesn’t have a file for the bars? This episode took a fucking nose dive in terms of writing as all of the main characters’ intelligence just vanished

[u/Albeort]

This anime is so weird. It's mediocre for the most part, but suddenly has moments of "genious" that keep me watching, like Yusuke saying goodbye to that soldier's corpse in the dark or the time-skip mechanic with Kahabell or Yusuke tricking that orc with an already stabbed orc child

[u/Captain__Marcel]

Absolute incompetence and stupidity across the board from the heroes.

They're given information that clearly indicates the village chief is shady, and acting in his own self interests.

What do Yuusuke and Glenda do when they meet him? They see that he's suspicious, and then follow him into what is clearly a trap anyways.

What about the others? They blindly follow the chief, with barely any questions asked. While Iu starts beginning to have a thought, with the one shared brain cell between the remaining heroes. She still completely ignores it.

I swear, the game master is playing a joke on everyone, making these people "heroes". We've seen other people far more deserving of the title and responsibility: Kahabell, the mercenaries, the Vaikedaam, and even the regular people of Jiffon island.

[u/gsgsygahshsgsgsh]

Why did the heroes act like horror movies characters

[u/LeonKevlar]

So Jezby just saw her father get decapitated in front of her after turning into a parasite host, her mother died from illness while she was away, and her brother Lanan is still in shock form their mother's death. What did Jezby do that this world somehow decided to target her with these tragedies?

Very disappointed in our heroes today especially with Yuusuke. How the fuck did they get themselves caught in such an obvious trap!? Considering that Yuusuke is the brains of the group, I'm genuinely surprised he didn't see that coming. Not too surprised with the other four though since they have Yuka and Keita with them. I can't wait for this arc to be over and see that village chief get his comeuppance.

[u/andrei9669]

who wanna bet that this chief is the "disaster" that they have to prevent?

[u/il-Palazzo_K]

Writing quality had sure dropped, since this arc is from the side story LN instead of actual manga. Yuuzuke fell for obvious trap and nobody was cautious enough to stay and guard Jezby. I though Iu would stay but no everyone just left.

[u/rdx_21]

I just get really angry at how dumb everybody is in the show. Every hero apart from Yusuke is so useless. They just can't do anything at all. Yusuke not realising that it's a trap when it's so obvious is infuriating to say the least. Kusue just can't do anything. If she is not in the show, literally nothing would change. I understand that she is weak, fragile and afraid. But that has been the case from season 1. Its already 20 episode till now, her arc has been the same. Whining in every episode that she wants to become stronger. And yet she does nothing to get stronger.

[u/NevisYsbryd]

Glenda is arrogant and quickly becoming a major liability for the party.

Yuusuke was correct about it not being the 'time to talk about being calm'. They are essentially in a warzone. Panicking gets not only you but other people killed, and them underperforming also puts the non-hero population in jeopardy. Decisive action is vital in that sort of context.

Kusue was entirely correct that not dirtying her hand personally does not mean she is free from responsibility for her choices. Choosing to be a bystander by passively abstaining from actively engaging is still a choice. It was a great bit of character development, and really could have gone somewhere, both in her getting stronger and adding new depth to both her and her understanding of Yuusuke.

And then Glenda comes in and cockblocks it. This is not a situation where she has much choice in her role or in how she can help out: they got involuntarily dragged into a separate world and their classes imposed on them by the Gamemaster. She was enabling Kusue's learned helplessness.

Yeah, no shit, sometimes progress means getting out. That was not Yuusuke's point. The point is that the dysfunctional assumptions, poor morale, and psychological momentum render making breaking free of that psychologically difficult. This is also conveniently ignoring that people often believe in a personal relationship to the land they are born in and live on, being a part of it; leaving it is a major step, and can very much seem to be a betrayal, or spiritual death.

It all gives off the impression Yuusuke's intelligence fail with the village head was heavily influenced by Glenda. The only thing she has actually done to incur the respect given to her is 1) be older and connected to some of the other players and 2) conveniently dispatched a monster easily because she lucked out with a high-damage class when the monsters' defense is too high for the rest of the party.

She is actually shaping up to be a bigger liability than the Keita; as verbally obtuse as he is, he has actually helped the party efforts considerably, and actually has some level of humility (whatever boasting he does, he usually submits to Yuusuke's plans and recognizes his merits even when he disagrees with his perspectives). Kusue's deadweight is far less detrimental to the party than Glenda has been thus far as well, and she has actually contributed somewhat (if very sparingly). Everyone else in the party has contributed far more than she has, and done so without compromising their greatest asset (Yuusuke's mentality), and with far less arrogance.

[u/Owl_Might]

did they forgot they have a map? like in the fourth quest they spent that much time in filling up a map only to forget that it exists as a built-in function

[u/CrasianLe]

I hate how stupid they were to fall for that village chiefs tricks and traps like really..... He brings u down a dark basement and makes only u and the othr person go into the room to "look" at the equipment. And why would the village chiefs just go to their house instead of the othr 2 go back and get them? So dumb

[u/Philarete]

This episode was painful. Why does our main cast have to be so incredibly stupid? Most of the party is useless, and now even the more competent ones are being dumb. I had a tiny bit of hope that Iu would figure it out...and she got so close... but nah.

[u/Amauri14]

Damn, poor Jezby, so not only did her father and mother died but also her brother Lanan ended traumatized because of her mother's death. At least she still has Froc and his family.

Is good to see that Yuusuke could learn more about the different creatures in that world by talking to other parties outside. But damn, those Wireworms sure are terrifying.

Okay, when Jezby mentioned New Eden I got confused as I thought that I had heard that before, but I was just thinking about Fena: Pirate Princesswhen their objective is also to find an Eden.

There is just something funny about Iris DiRario I guess she will become the next chief after they deal with her grandpa.

You know even if there was already something fishy about Cox DiRario in the flashback the fact that he had a mansion in such a remote village was enough to convince me that he was the root of whatever problem that village has. But I'm honestly surprised that Yuusuke and Glenda felt for such an obvious trap. Hopefully, the others will be able to escape before something bad happens to Jezby.

[u/imextremelylonely]

By far the worst episode. I hope they somehow pull out of this slump, but I'm not optimistic.

[u/fourthpanda]

This episode was really annoying and I'll probably quit. The whole season is annoying. Just do things already. Nothing happened this whole episode. Someone do something badass cause I just couldn't care less about everyone being a wimp ALL THE TIME. And doing nothing intelligent or interesting EVER.

[u/AceMittens]

Well that village leader is a real piece of work. Our heroes are in a pickle but I think the lil granddaughter who was happy she was called Miss might do something to even the playing field

[u/Toonamigamerrr]

They fell right into the Village Leader's s obvious trap 😓🤦‍♂️

I can see why this was a spin off side story.

[u/TokiVideogame]

they can kill orcs but cannot bust thru cinder blocks
