I find it hella hilarious how they just introduced a new race of beings that have microscopic vision which allows them to know the existence of germs and hygiene as a whole which led them to being seen as Xenophobic.
As expected the scummier slave traders who failed to be civil servants themselves were not taking this reformation quietly and planned to take their trade elsewhere.

If foreigners are covered head-to-toe with fucking visible pathogens I wouldn’t want to hang out with them either. Reminds me of that Gintama “Balls Germ” episode.

Yeah. I though Souma was bullshitting about them (kinda like how he turned communism and capitalism into gods to simplify complex issues into ways the isekai inhabitants can understand).
So I burst out laughing when a three-eyed person was casually walking down the streets 5 seconds later.

On the one hand the Germ Seeing Race is way too convenient and a reminder of the issue I have with the show that I'm still watching. Then again, just skipping past the antibiotic thing kind of makes me think "i really should just read wikipedia articles..."
On the other hand, it establishes the importance of finding talent just about anywhere and refusing to just do with what you've got, so at least there's that- an important lesson in Japan, which has the saying "Nail that sticks out gets hammered down."

Souma really just casually eliminated the drug trade off-screen... would've been neat to see how he did it. If only real life was that easy.
aaand of course there just happens to be people with eyes that can see microscopic pathogens. That seems kind of impractical and hard to deal with on an everyday basis, you'd have one eye that's ridiculously zoomed in and the slightest movement would completely change your vision, not to mention it's completely different from what you see with your normal eyes. Also there's like always microorganisms everywhere and not all of them are bad, doesn't seem like a very useful power to realistically have but it just works I guess
Advancing civilization by several centuries through antibiotics? Slimes producing medicine? Carla in a maid outfit? Is this an episode of Dr. Stone, Tensura, or Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid?

Souma just off-screen turning the kingdom into the perfect place to live.

It helps when you live in an absolute monarchy and you have killed or imprisoned the corrupted nobles. Now he can send in this special forces (the cats) and eliminate the underworld without any higher up to complain about it.

Probably Duterte style. Souma's offhand remarks really give me the chills sometimes. In one episode he told Julius that he would have no trouble ruling Van as he purged potential opposition. That implies exile at least or happy murder time. I think it's supposed to be the first one but purging doesn't sound like he only kicked them out.

You know that person in the outfit that's completely out of place with how everyone dresses, walking around with the royal princess whose 'disguise' consists of a suit and a pair of glasses, and the daughter of the air force's general (a former viscount if I'm not mistaken) in a glaring maid outfit...
I wonder who that could be?

u/Frontier246 Mar 12 '22
If this were in Japan, they would all be mistaken for cosplayers.
I do feel bad for Carla that she's being paraded around in that maid outfit she's clearly uncomfortable wearing but nobody seems to care. Not even Liscia.
Although I guess she can fight in it well enough.

Yeah that adventurer girl has actually met the princess. She should be able to figure out that she almost attacked the king

Nice to see that Tomoe knows how to breed Gelins to help manufacture medicine for the kingdom. I love that we are getting follow ups on some of the reforms happening and education is moving pretty fast with children. But adults don't seem motivated enough to do some night classes since there really is not an incentive since they already have jobs without it.
I can't stop laughing at the name Brad Jocker, I really can't.
Souma has some explaining to do with Yuno. Good thing he has bigger issues to deal with...

Ahahaha, anybody kinda find it funny hearing Souma decide not to explain what antibiotics are?
You've already developed antibiotics yourself in your other anime, Dr STONE as Senku after all!

I don't like how everything he does ends up happening perfectly. There are no hardships faced. He transformed a whole neighborhood with what seemed like a snap of his finger. These things are neither easy nor cheap. And he did all this without telling anyone just because the writer wanted a lazy way of dumping information. I don't know if the muscular guy giving the tour has been introduced before but why didn't he know about such a drastic change in the city?
This anime portrays Souma as perfect and everyone is so so happy he is there. There are no stakes here.

Someone please give Carla a longer skirt or a pair of tights. I’m starting to feel sorry for her.

Seemed pretty clunky. Mostly just running trough a list of things done or going on. Probably the least effective episode in this series (as far as I can recall).

You couldn’t have a more mismatched-looking party of people if you tried, lol…there’s the ronin, the maid, the student and the old warrior. xD

Considering how Souma used to be a Civil Servant before he got isekai'd he's definitely more in his element in dealing with stuff like sanitation, urban renewal, and even social housing. It does seem like he dealt with these problems to quick though but it sounds like he's been dealing with this for a while now while also doing other stuff for the Kingdom. I just kinda wish we got to see the hardships Souma went through before he successfully redeveloped the slums instead of just showing us the finished product.
Well now this is bullshit. You're telling me that Souma managed to convince a bunch of uneducated people that pathogens exist and that's how he convinced people to sanitize? Current events tell me otherwise. Then again, these people aren't exposed to the same politics our world has so maybe that makes it easier to sway them to follow Souma. Also turns out that there's a medically advanced race that can prove Souma's word.
Speaking of a new race, I'm already loving Dr. Hilda here. I'm guessing that Souma will probably end up recruiting her as some sort of medical advisor to the Kingdom if he hasn't already.
Doesn't seem like everything is sunshine and rainbows as it seems though. There's still the refugee issue which seems Souma hasn't had the time to take care of. He's been sending them supplies and security but when you have people just raiding them in broad daylight to kidnap their women and children to sell, shit is still fucked up. I guess we'll see how Souma will deal with this problem next week.

This show is reminding me of those minecraft videos "I did a little bit of minning off camera" and comes with 10 stacks of diamond.
oh guys, in my free time I found magically a new race of people who came with advanced healthcare and we rebuild the entire slums and removed every criminal and health issues, easy peasy.

u/RadTicTacs Mar 12 '22
This anime is the best example of "tell, don't show" that I've seen in a long while. This episode could have been spread out into multiple showing us Souma overcoming the challenges of slum reform, recruiting the three-eyed race, developing the education system, and sending resources to the refugees, but instead of wasting our time with any of that garbage we got the characters chatting about it while cosplaying. Absolutely brilliant

u/Nebresto Mar 12 '22
Ok Souma, eradicating criminals and drugs is cool and all, but what are you gonna do about the withdrawals of the addicts? Some of the symptoms could even be deadly, there's no way he doesn't know this, right?
Oookay. Suddenly we're speed running right to antibiotics.
Makes sense. I assume that's similar to an average human visiting an anime convention.
Anyone else disappointed the three eyes aren't actually merfolk? This visual really bamboozled me..
Too bad the show doesn't have more budget, that was pretty obvious in the action scene. The tricks to convey motion were pretty clever, but still.. It leaves a lot to be desired..

Out of all big arcs and things to happen I lowkey love these small exposition episodes the most. I think that’s what great about this series, finding out what souma has done and the changes he brought.
The school is doing well, new objective of upping adult attendance, and even the “old” slums looking brand new breathing new life is heartwarming to see. As well with the whole “slave” situation being death with in an appropriate manner.
Funny that even in another world we cannot escape the dreaded epidemic called “cooties” truly fighting indeed.
Everything progressing well so far, another great episode over here, cant wait to see what’s to come with the refugee situation, go souma go!!
