Welp, Arel seeing Reiner being of womanly charm, other than Lilia who keeps on sexually harassing him, sure, the former has everything in her arsenal, but it's her Skills she's only worried about.

Arel may have gotten lucky passing through the 1st round of the guild competition, and though Lilia's father Rod may be out of fashion, he's still incredibly strong even with one arm. And an underground dungeon where Reiner wants to prep herself for the biggest Swordsman competition with the Sword God Cup, Lilia...you'd be better off without that marriage certificate with Arel that you made up on the spot. Otherwise, it's going into the dungeon for some training for the trio, and them encountering someone gravely hurt without his Divine Protection, Lilia attempting to negotiate with money in her eyes, while Arel sensing something amiss, even if it's a trap, it'll be a nothingburger for him.

Sure enough, even the traitor follows the trio with the teleport trap, though the advanced class Sword God is definitely the closest that Arel has gotten some REAL test with since his mother's training, parading around as a Sword Princess to hide her Sword God skill. And Rod having to learn all of this from Georg, though the trio just causally walking in the same bar and admitting to everything he transpired, there's but one weapon who'll grant his wish all the more.

Forget it Georg, the sooner you'll fall under Arel's sword, the better...

I'm not sure how much longer I can stand Lilia in this anime. She acts like a spoiled kid clinging to Arel.

Looks like Arel made a new rival/enemy this episode and I have no doubt he'll be a problem soon. Give Lilia less screen time though please. I can barely stand her from this one.

Georg needs to be beaten so bad he is such an asshole. Lilia is really annoying she just adds nothing to the show.

Completely agree there is just nothing likeable about her.

well... I suppose she will appear in 1 or 2 more episodes,
she doesn't makes a single appearance in next arc .
judging by the pace I suppose 2nd arc will be introduced after 6 episodes or so.

Another arc completed in one episode.
feels like a speedrun.
Arel didn't learn anything from his father? only mother?

how typical there's a sword with evil spirit, I suppose it will help the bad guy become stonger?

It almost feels like this anime is speedrunning, and I gotta say--I don't mind it. A lot of the times, anime have an okay execution, but the pacing is dragged for "suspense". The pace here matches the quality, so I'm liking notable plot points getting knocked out each episode and keeping the story moving along. I feel like other "okay" shows would've dragged the tournament 2 or 3 episodes and dragged the build up to the dungeon trap.

The show is produced like it knows it is what it is and develops accordingly. Kudos.

Loved the episode, especially two things. Firstly, the interactions between Arel and Reiner were the cutest ever. I ship them so hard. Secondly, Georg throwing a tantrum in his room after keeping his cool in front of Dragon Fang was absolutely hilarious, haha.

If I stop watching this anime, it will be because of that annoying, blond pervert who looks like she is still 13. I can't stand her, I get that she was meant as funny character, but she is not funny at all, she is just annoying.

Arel's mom is one hell of a badass, yeh? Welp, like they say, never mess with a Ara-Ara mommy.

Besides, our guy is honest with his feelings for Reiner there. Glad, he isn't some dense boke.

Welp, that's too bad for Lilia. Although, she's kinda annoying sometimes.
And thus, they lived happily ever after... .

oh no , the antagonist survived and has no way to retaliate ... How should we get rid of him? Writer number 1 : Classic plot ofcourse , evil grants him superhuman strenght , so next episode he will fight the protagonist almost on par , but the mc will surpass his limit and beat him , finally putting an end to his reign! Writer number 2 that is still number 1 because they didn't had money to hire good writers : Yea let's do that , I bet the anime watchers will LOVE IT!!

Lilia being diabolically down bad for Arel is so stupidly funny, and Arel's response is even funnier LMAO. Bro got his eyes on Reiner, shoot his shots nonchalantly and makes her blush, such a gigachad move lol. The dungeon arc is so much fun too, the fights scenes are surprisingly decent even with the CG knights, and the comedy gags are just incredibly funny 🤣

I watch 23 ongoing anime this season and unironically this low-budget show is the funniest most entertaining show for me so far LMAO, the comedy just hits so hard left and right, diabolical dialogues, fun visual gags, and amazing VAs (especially Lilia she's killing it). And Arel might also be the best male MC of the season with his nonchalant and incredibly based attitude 😆

This anime has been sanitized way too hard and it also has bad animation. If this was given the 7th prince or emminence in shadow treatment with more blatant ecchi and cool fighting animation i'm sure it would've gotten people talking. Going to have to drop this slop.

@XYZ6331 Hearing this about Lilia is welcoming. I found her 'schtick' of being a sex pest rather overdone in this episode, so seeing much less of her is a bonus. Heck, her thing could have remained reasonably amusing if it was interspersed a lot more vs. what felt like 10-15+ times this episode.

I have the impression that Arel is a gag character, he spends his time flirting with the redhead without effect 🤣 it's the first time I see a mc fantasy cheat being the one running behind fmc and he tries to farm the aura by doing it 🤣🤣🤣

Lilia reminds me of a rabid chihuahua in this show, annoying as hell but also kinda funny at times.
But, I'm glad that Reiner is also here for not only Arel but also us the viewers ;}.

But it was cool to see Arel fight against that Sword God...but we all knew he was easily gonna destroy it, especially after all that training he did with his mother.
And as we all should know, Moms are the most powerful things in existence :}

Lilia is great. Loving this show even if Arel is too OP and likely will just 1 shot his way through most of the series. Apparently there's a massive downgrade from the manga as Lilia showed up in Arel's bed completely naked instead of in pajamas.

Didn't expect Lilia to be older than both of them.

And she sorta got drunk fast, LOL.

Also, MC's random confession to Reiner is the exact opposite of dense MCs.

Reiner: "I have no womanly charm"

MC: [*stare*] ( \ Y / ) "I don't agree with that"

MC is literally aiming for Reiner openly now, lol.

.

Tho I would go for Lilia, since I like smol and cute over giant booba.

I wouldn't mind if she "assaulted" me in the morning. Tho that would make this an entirely different genre series.

.

And... we got the Evil Sword again... it's always the Evil Sword.

Also, I just realized something... they keep on going about how everyone is based off of Swordsman and then advance into other classes.

But there's still magic classes. So how come MC didn't learn any magic? Does this mean MC can only learn physical skills, he can't learn anything related to magic? (tho the Opening suggested him doing magic, but we have yet to see him doing anything related to magic)

georg found himself possessed by an evil sword.
i wonder what'll happen to that guy who lured the trio to the trap? i think he'll end up joining their guild...OR he'll disappear & never be heard from again.

I was wondering how Georg planned to deal with Arel and his guild mates. But getting them caught in a teleportation trap that sends them to the lowest level of the dungeon makes sense.

No one could have expected Arel's mom was secretly as strong as said dungeons final boss. Arel's tutelage under her continues to pay off.

Lilia's persistence in trying to marry Arel is only matched by Arel's strength. Fun running gag.

Arel is making it abundantly clear that he’s romantically interested in Reiner, but she claims that she’s too busy trying to become the strongest swordsperson, but she’s gonna have a lot of trouble trying to do that when Arel can simply fight strong opponents and copy their skills with little to no trouble. Shoutout to Sword God Farah for helping him out, meaning that most enemies aren’t relevant in comparison.

Lilia is indeed a sexual predator in the way that she’s trying to force a sexual relationship with Arel, WHO IS FIFTEEN BY THE WAY, and we all know if this were the other way around, people would have a problem with it because double standards exist.

Anyways, Georg’s plan did not work out for him. Despite getting Deel to lure them to the bottom most floor of the dungeon, everybody was fine because all Arel needed to do was what Farah taught him to do during his training. Also, Arel knew that Deel was lying about his injuries, and he’s lucky Arel was able to survive because otherwise, he was COOKED given that his guildmates sacrificed him in order to get more money for the job.

Maybe after this, Rod will get off his ass and actually do something instead of feeling sorry for himself.

And it seems that Georg is gonna use some mysterious power from some evil sword, and he’s still set on killing Arel, so we’ll see what goes down.

Writing in this episode is actually kinda good, there is some explanation as to why Arel is so incredibly strong (his mom is a sword god, posing as a sword princess).
