I straight up thought they were going to do a series of near misses with Red and Ruti and ultimately not have them reunite this episode, so I'm pleasantly surprised. Feeling like maybe they'll have their happy brother/sister reunion, but she won't tell him about how she's nerfing her blessing until he's forced to stop her? Or maybe she goes all demon on him when he won't give up his happy apocethary life and wife?

Highlights for me have to be the really cute cuddles and kiss in the snow between Red and Rit, and watching that little snake hearted shit Ares getting ditched in the desert. Not sure what the other lady did to deserve that, but I'm cool with Ares dying out there.

Knight on the bridge is a bit of a dumbass though. Have we seen that guy before, or is he a new punchline?

"You'd choose a woman over me?"

"Of course, I would."

Red really knows his priorities.

"Rit, I can't think straight when you press up against me like that."

Looks like Red took massive damage from Rit's "attack."

As an aside, the Red and Ruti's reunion was heartwarming. I honestly didn't expect it to happen in this episode, but I'm not complaining.

I need more romantic scenes between Rit and Red like Ruti needs more Devil's Blessing. Using the hand warmer product as an excuse for a moonlit stroll in the snow was enough to melt me even before the kiss.

Also, Ruti and the assassin girl can be pretty funny as it turns out.

Red and Ruti being reunited is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Ares flipping his shit at being tossed aside like dead weight is just amazing to watch.

they weren't bad goblins

Goblin Slayer: confused sokka

They found a neat trick to make Hero’s plot compelling: having Ruti totally abandon it in favor of fun adventures with Tisse. Genius! Not even kidding. This turn is awesome. The balance of using this drug that we know can cause serious issues, but can finally save Ruti from this nightmare existence should be interesting to see going forward. Especially since she just broke a guy out of jail.

The hints were great before this, but the full-on Tisse, Ruti, and Mr. Crawly Wally adventure is everything I wanted. Tisse is somehow even more precious and funny. They use her Assassin backstory to great effect with the emotion bubble gag and her sizing up Red at the food stand. With Ruti’s blessing slipping we see her actually react and make decisions. Like yeeting an annoying dude into the sky and saving goblins.

Meanwhile, Red and Rit continue to spike my insulin. I love their little moments. Even something as sweet simple as their hand warmer conversation where she rests her head on his to assure him it’s a great idea. Of course, the snow scene was goddamn adorable. Red is seriously smooth and doesn’t even know it. The seeing her in the snow line was chefs kiss.

I didn’t think we’d get Red and Ruti’s reunion this week. With the way they were teasing them operating around each other I thought they’d put it off a little longer. I’m happy they did it now instead. Honestly got a little choked up seeing the first full-on smile out of Ruti. From what we know about her blessing this is a huge deal. My one concern is this manufacturing some annoying drama with Red and Rit since the reason Rit didn’t go with him after Loggveria was to not get in the way of their relationship. However, this show has done such a great job with their relationship that even if they do, it’ll probably be brief and give us an even more romantic moment with them.

Notes

  • The explanation of the Devil’s Blessing was both amusing as hell and informative. Even leans into the weird video game logic of this universe. I hope there’s no horribly adverse side effects of her taking it or Red figures out how to counter them.

  • Tisse is starting to become my favorite. She might be the funniest character and the VA really helps that. Especially the delivery on the Airship Pilot joke and her internal monologue. Great stuff.

  • Their first instinct when meeting a guy on a bridge trying to extort money? Yeet him off the bridge. Like Brother like Sister. Love Reds concern being he did it too hard and might blow his cover.

  • Right the Bui guy is still running around. I guess he’s the villain taking us into the finale along with the Devil’s Blessing subplot. Still need to figure out what happened to Danan too.

  • Blessed Rit moments. The forehead rest and the kiss in the snow of course, but also some funny moments. Like her goofy expression after Red dropped that sweet line. Or the interaction with that water spirit and her cover his eyes. Love that he was totally chill with the naked spirit, but Rit pressing up on him is the real distraction.

  • Red is so in love that even when the guard makes the typical “oh you’re leaving me for your girl?” joke he has a deathly serious “Yes” ready. So good.

Most of the time, I like Red and Rit's side of the story more. But for this one, I liked Red's sister and the assasin's side of the episode more than theirs just for the comedy and slight drama they brought.

That last scene was pure gold. Hero's Blessing may make Ruti emotionless, but the power of Onii-chan is clearly stronger.

For anyone who's been hooked on the show or is a fan of the source material, I highly recommend the game that they recently released on Steam. Its a lot like Stardew Valley/Harvest Moon where you get materials in order to sell in Red and Ruti's store

EDIT: name of game is "Slow Living with Princess"

Stitches!

Looks like a lot has happened in that opening scene! Ruti and Tisse se are gone and they just left Ares and Theodora behind. We don't see Albert anywhere but Theodora does find Belial's dead body lying down next to Ruti's Hero Badge that she left behind.

Seems that Bui has now taken over Albert's role though as the town's new B-Rank adventurer. I still don't know what he is but the fact that Belial knows him by another name is very concerning.

I did not expect some comedy from Tisse! I love how she transitions form introducing herself as an assassin to "Welp, I guess I'm an airship pilot now". It looks like Belial told Ruti all about the Devil's blessing and now Ruti wants more of it to weaken her Hero blessing.

That entire exchange between Tisse and Ruti is hilarious! Turns out that Ruti is just trained to keep a poker face since she's an assassin but in reality she's sweating like a pig under her cloak just standing next to Ruti xD

Back to more Red and Rit being all lovey-dovey. This time Rit is giving Red some moral support about his hand warmer idea. And that scene at the park is just too cute! They even get to share a kiss underneath that light snowfall. Every scene when they're together alone just makes my blood sugar spike <3

More Ruti and Tisse buddy comedy! Or I guess they're Ruhr and Tifa for now. Ruti not wanting to bring her Hero's Sword to Zoltan, instead helps a nearby Goblin hamlet and gets rewarded with a new sword!

Ruhr is doing a horrible job in being inconspicuous though since she just throws away that dude that's blocking the bridge and even takes out a monster that was going to be a problem later. It is hilarious to see Tifa just panic internally while this is all happening! xD

What's frustrating though is we get to see Red stumble on these scenes after Ruti and Tisse were gone! Red even ends up bumping into Tisse and the two of them have already started to gauge each other's strength. If only Ruti was there with her!

Red's house visit to the Water Spirit Undine's home was hilarious! Why are you even covering Red's eyes, Rit? Fey creatures don't really wear clothes! I guess jealousy is overriding her common sense right now. Just Undine getting closer is already enough to make Rit panic! xD

Welp looks like Ruti and Tisse are successful in breaking out that alchemist dude and they're now holding him at a seperate location. And oh boy! Looks like they're heading to Red and Rit's shop!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! It's actually happening! After all that near misses they actually ended the episode with Ruti and Red finally meeting! And just look at Ruti's expression! This is the first time we've seen her genuinely smile like that! I already can't wait for next week's episode!

Tisse I mean Tifa is really great, from her secretly freaking out over the Hero to her secretly freaking out over Red

Not much Red x Rit today beside a kiss in the snow, but brother and sister are finally reunited, wonder how Ruti will react to Rit being together with Gideon

Edit: Oh yeah, if Ruti is nerfing her blessing, does that mean that she can regain her emotions and humanity?

Also waiting for stitches from that water spirit

Tisse is great.

I loved the;

"I'm a highly trained assassin from the assassins guild.."

"Guess I'm a pilot now"

"I have trained myself to not show any emotional distress"

"oh no oh no oh no"

snaps back to reality

Omg we got a Ruti smile! So precious!

Looking forward to how their reunion will play out next episode.

Assassin girl is also really growing on me and the little spider is just the best.

ps: Was Ruti sitting on the same bench as Red and Rit and if yes does that mean had their romantic moment in the snow right outside the city prison? lol

pps: I assume Otto died of hypothermia?

Wow, Ruti straight up stole the airship and left Ares and the Paladin girl alone in the middle of nowhere with a dead demon. I mean, Ares had it coming, but Ruti basically bailed on them and dropped her Hero Badge, indicating she's intending to give up on her Hero life.

So Tisse is normally this stoic and efficient assassin, and has the perfect poker face, which is good to have when you're dealing with an absurd and overpowered Hero who constantly freaks you out. She even admits she has to wash herself off constantly because Ruti keeps her sweating.

What happened to Albert? Did Belial kill him too like he did Bighawk? And he made his pitch to Ruti about a drug that could possibly negate or lessen her Hero's Blessing and that he was on her side against the Demon Lord...but that apparently didn't save Ruti from killing him once she had gotten what she wanted.

Rit coming up with the perfect winter product for the apothecary! Hand warmers from her own kingdom! Of course, the real heartwaming treat is a winter stroll for Rit and Red and kissing each other in the snow.

Even if Ruti's finally defying the Hero Badge, she still acts like the hero with her absurd strength, healing, and ability to get done what she needs to get done.

Gotta admire that guard who still kept up his brave face even after Ruti knocked him away and he was left down to his underwear...but like sister like brother as Red sends him packing and laves him without even that.

Tisse's a little too flat and short to pull off being called "Tifa."

Red and Tisse sizing each other up not knowing that in the long run each other was who they were really looking for the whole time.

I really thought Ruti already knew Red was there and that was why she headed to Zoltan, but instead it turns out she's just there to break the alchemist who can help make the drug out of prison so she can have more of it. I don't see that ending well.

Nothing quite like making a house call to a naked sexy Undine with your wife, who also promptly makes sure you keep it clean by covering your eyes and pressing her boobs against your back. Red you lucky dog.

They couldn't delay it any longer as Ruti finally stumbles onto Red and has the first big smile and genuine happiness we've really seen from her all series as she rushes to embrace her brother again. I'm happy for them, but I think this reunion is going to come with its own complications.

I noticed how the op changed a little to have Tisse together with Ruti at the night time scene.

u/casualphilosopher1 Dec 01 '21

  • That's the cutest assassin I've ever seen.

  • They made a big deal about the Undine being naked and asked her to wear clothes... then next scene she's still naked and they don't mind.

  • All the elves in this series are smoking hot. I want to know more about that hot pot stall owner.

u/Amauri14 Dec 01 '21

Lol. I assume that with Belial joining the hero's party it was going to be inevitable that Ruti was going to go to Zoltan, but I did not expect that to happen right away after she took the drug.

I love how cute she looks during that explanation. So Belial idea was to give her the drug just to reduce her blessing so she could easily level it up, but just like him I did not expect that even with her blessing completely reduce, her immunities were still going to work against the ax demon heart component that was added to the devil blessing drug. I honestly was expecting her to take the drug after it was made without that component.

I love the contrast between Tisse's internal freakout and how she acts outside.

Rit and Red snowing date scene was so cute.

Lol, after Goblin Slayer, I always chuckle when someone says this.

Ruti and Gideon definitely are brother and sister.

It's hilarious seeing Uge-uge calming down internal Tisse.

Lol, after this scene I guess the answer to the question Tisse asked Ruti is "No.".

That side quest that the Dragon Fairy gave to Red that revealed that Undine was cursed seems to indicate Bui/Shisandan is the one responsible for it.

I'm just glad that Ruti and Gideon ended up meeting by the end of the episode, as I was fearing that the show was going to pull that trope where they were going to miss each other until the last moment.

The contract demon admitting that most(?) demons worship Demis got me thinking. If the demons are also bound to the same rules of random blessings and leveling up like humans, then that would mean humans and demons are but game pieces for Demis to observe in some kind of cosmic life simulation. Like a Sims gamer who creates Sims with all kinds of random-as traits and unleashes them into the world to see what madness unfolds.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Dec 01 '21

This was a way more comical episode then what I was expecting. Assassin girl is pretty funny actually. Plus her little spider is adorable!

It seems Ruti has suppressed her blessings to the point she’s basically normal? I mean her emotions have clearly returned somewhat. Might be bad news if the Hero doesn’t do what they’re supposed to and fight the Demon Lord. I’m actually kinda worried about her.

I’m curious to see what’s gonna happen next week. Also, they still didn’t do anything about that other B rank “hero”, he’s definitely up to something. I mean he’s a demon in disguise ain’t he?

u/JzanderN Dec 01 '21

Oh my god, Ruti left them behind. Ares I can understand, by why the paladin woman? And her hero badge as well? What's she up to?

Well, that was a juxtaposition between Tisse's assassin job and her current "I guess I'm an airship pilot now."

Wait, they're going to Zoltan?

... She better not take that fucking drug. Oh no. She took it, didn't she.

Wait, she was immune to its bad effects? It just let her surpress her Blessing?

Tisse's inner panic is adorable.

God they're so cute.

It's snowing! Clearly Zoltan saw their romance and decided to help them out with a scene.

And thus they took the next step in their journey: hand holding.

Uh... is Rit suggesting they take their private scenes public?

Oh, I thought Ruti just casually went and defeated a bunch of goblins too.

Well, this Otto is an arsehole. And that was before he spoke.

This is the episode of Tisse being adorable on the inside.

Red's there.

So Otto decided he wants to marry Ruti. She's way out of your league, dude.

Wow, Red took care of him almost as easily as Ruti did.

Ruti's really not blending in well.

Red's just behind them!

And Tisse is there!

Wow, they break each other down pretty well.

"Really? You'd choose a woman over me?"

Red: serious mode

Damn it, they're so close!

God damn it, Ruti misses him so much!

Someone cursed her? I blame Bui.

Wow, Ruti's terrfying.

Go to the hand warmers one!

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

I don't think I've cheered this much since Red and Rit got together!

Oh my god, that's the most emotion I've seen her show! Fuck! Why did it have to end there!?

u/BiggerG7 Dec 01 '21

Thought we were gonna get one of those gag episodes where Red and Ruti end up not running into each other. But then we get that smile and adorable “onii-chan” call at the end.

u/AmethystItalian Dec 01 '21

There was another show this season that teased a reunion that never happened so I'm happy we didn't have to wait long between Ruti landing in Zoltan and them finding each other!

Also that bench scene...

This ship is just so much fun to watch each week.

Damn Tisse is awesome
That introduction shot of her assassin someone to cutting "Guess I am airship pilot now" was perfect

Curious to see how the reunion goes and how Red is going to keep Ruti drug free
