Tomoki just acted like most people would when no longer invincible and it'll make you mad but that's not a bad thing. See my full uncut live reaction to the episode over on Patreon www.patreon.com/BrandonReviews

Tomoki has the dps mindset most healers dream of: dead people deal no damage so get the heck out of the damage zone!

Basically, Tomoki was on his own little wish-fulfilment isekai adventure that he still thinks of as a game. Now, it's time for a reality check where we shove it in his face that "no, this is reality and you are fighting a *war* of survival." Even Hibiki might not have been treating this as seriously as everyone else was, but at least she was _taking_ it seriously. This was a different sort of wake-up call for her.

I like how they're recapping season 1 with a different perspective from Maakoto. Shame many consider this week and last week a "waste."

CUT CONTENT alert: If you hate Tomoki.... The anime cut a VERY important yet vague conversation that happens after that Heroes' dinner. Hibiki was letting off steam about Tomoki being a shitehead, and most of her party reprimanded her, saying Tomoki was totally reasonable and polite. Only the little Priestess agreed with Hibiki. It ends with Hibiki wondering why her friends suddenly favor Tomoki so vehemently and think she was wrong to talk about he like that. O_o No clue. How weird.... As a avid, desperately devoted fan of Tsukimichi, besides that cut content, I've been hella satisfied with the anime we're getting. Now, it's been a few years since I read the first few arcs of the story, but I'm seeing most of what I expected, and done well. A double cour is the ONLY way this part would have been reasonable. At least, if the OP is really showing how far we'll get.

I have a few things to say, I wish tomoki gets beaten up by makoto, and Naval became one of my absolute favorite characters in this anime. She will always be remembered, o7 Naval. I can’t wait to see next week now that we’re back in the present too

It’s a good thing Season Two is a double cour. If we had to spend 5 or 6 episodes of a single cour on these heroes leading up to the battle at the end of season one, I honestly would’ve been very annoyed. Not that I don’t like different perspectives of the same story; I’m just glad we can focus on new content.

I don't think this episode was a waste... I think it was good setup and it served the important purpose of giving us the backstory of what happened with the other two heroes. That said, I am looking forward to the present-day content with Makoto in the coming episodes.

Makoto is really unaware of a lot of things that would beneficial for him to know about, as that would make him be more prepared for a future eventuality with the selfish goddess. I'm assuming the heroes will be very important later on especially when they meet with Makoto, but the way they got introduced make it difficult to be invested in them, if anything Naval is more of a hero than either of them. I can respect Hibiki since she wanted to remain and fight, but Tomoki already showed that he is still the same scared and powerless guy only in a different world.

We novel reader called him trashmoki

Self destruction. Spells like that never work guys! Don’t forget that fact!

This episode served as a recap of the end of the first season for me. That battle ran alongside what that excuse for a goddess did to Makoto in order to have him killed. I like the parallel storylines because it shows how much of a solid fool the goddess is. I'm interested to see how this changes things when we start the next arc with Makoto and his group.

I can expect that Tomoky will get even more full of him self and when he encounters our boy Makato will try to take thins from him and then Makato will give him a wake up call and beat the crap out of him. Then either he will change or will become even more full of him self and wow revenge.

I consider Tomoki as a trash Hero, he bailed out because his Goddess power was seal & in the other hand the other Hero fought bravely even she knows her life was in danger, she's a true Hero. She lost an important teammate, i know it affected her mentally & i feel bad for her. I really dislike the Goddess for choosing a mentally break kid who used to be bullied in high school as Hero who in the future going to cause trouble for an entire Kingdom & who's been manipulate. Spoiler . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Tomoki is going to get a beating from Makoto because he tried to trade all his slaves/ women who are under his control for Tomoe. He told Makoto that he doesn't deserve Tomoe, Makoto got angry because Tomoki addressed all the women as his slave & Makoto rough him up. I forgot what volume of the novel it happened. He almost died by the end of Makoto. In the end, Makoto healed him and left. The Princess pretended to cheer him by toying with him, the Princess turned him into a tyrant & he became the Harem King in the Kingdom. All the women in the Kingdom( noble, married, engaged, etc) fell into his spell except for the Princess. He impregnated most of the women in the Kingdom & he became so obsessed with Tomoe that he even mentioned he would kill Makoto to get his hands on Tomoe. He became so twisted that every women who are under his spell ended up wanting to kill Makoto for his happiness & he even mentioned he would make the Goddess his slave.

I just hope this motivates the manga artist become more active in releasing chapters.

You know you have no chance when the enemy is teaching you while fighting you. But I respect the female hero for still standing her ground.

It made me chuckle when you mentioned Lies of P, because that’s EXACTLY what I thought of when the four-armed demon entered “phase 2,” lol That game really loves its two-phase two life bar boss battles. 😂

I just realized, Princess Lily should have gotten WAYmore deep internal thoughts that night she slept with Tomoki. The anime does not enlighten anime-onlys about her motives nearly enough. :(

too bad we didn't get to see Makoto fire off that special arrow making a lake from the 'heroes' perspective freezing everything friend and foe

Tomoki's case remind of that kid of In the Land of Leadale who kept thinking that the world was still a video game 🙄 I can tell he will become a even more shitty human being in the future 😑 Navarre sacrifice herself for allowing Hibiki and cie to run away was heartbreaking 😭 Seeing this 3 heroes plot line is one of the reasons why Tsukimichi is peak isekai 😌

There were so many people on CR complaining about it being "filler" that it was driving me nuts. Glad to see someone appreciate the skipped content from season 1 as much as I did

I am just sad that they didn't show makoto's fires lighting the sky's and his blast inputting the retreat/losing battle. other than that felt good.

I'd say that it worked on me when i read the manga.

Interesting point you mentioned that I noticed myself while watching, this all seems like content that could and should have been in season 1. But it didn't turn out that way and season 1 was really really good for what it was anyway, and they're making up for it here. Point is, I'm damn glad that despite the position they found themselves in, this anime is as good as it is

Huh. I thought Spider, So What's _weakest_ elements were the scenes focused on the main character. She just didn't have a lot going on that wasn't explained super early on.

The demon should also cast a barrier to prevent the trash from escaping.

I don’t think it was a bad episode, and it does serve to set things up for later.

I lovef the comedy and seriousness contrast that was balanced in season 1 i hope there will be a more bit comedic moments

Crazy episode this Monday. Huh🤯

I know I'm way behind. But we have to remember the goddess only cares about looks.

"The beauty that's basically manipulating him" is a curious element: why is she the one girl his charm-eye didn't trigger on?

I mean if they tactically retreated Camelback would with some better or op gear they maybe could have won

Welp, i suppose that i have to watch the second season now. If i have to wait for the author to do another chapter for the web novel, i will be waiting an eternity xD almost an entire year and zero chapter, i think i read somewhere that he is too busy with the light novel

Starting to hate Tomoki more slowly

It felt rush towards the end with makoto arriving then suddenly he’s just unconscious in the next part by tomoe and milo.

2:09 “It doesn’t make it right” He is a kid who was kidnapped and manipulate by a goddess. He and the other characters are basically child soldiers. The main difference between him and the other “heroes” is he is an abuse victim, who wanted to be liked/loved and for the pain to stop.

If I remember correctly the other heroes didn't debut until volume 4 of the light novel.

Tomoki dosent dererve all the hate he's getting

Can anyone explain the ending of the episode? It felt rushed right at the last like 3 minutes.

Tomoki is an asshole and a coward but he was right to retreat aslo he even warned makoto so it's not his fault.

Can anyone explain when this happened at the end tsukimichi says back to the present . Is it the future or was it during his travel to the academy?

I think there´s a big difference between characters being annoying "in character", for the purpose of the story, and the story itself being infuriating to the viewers. I completely understand why this "hero" is a coward. That´s fine. But my most common complaint (in any media) is "Why is this villain still alive?!" And like 90% of the time, it´s just the writer´s fault. (Or any kind of nonsense that can´t be explained "in universe".) I mean, I can suspend my disbelief quite a bit, if given an explanation for why things are happening, but if not, then it´s just BS. ("How did he get away?!" - "Cos´ he got away...")

The dude is being bash because of his arrogance. A foundation easily build will also crumbles easily. His spirit not forge by himself. His inner strength is not as strong as he think at it is. There is a saying YOU SUFFER MORE IN YOUR IMAGINATION than in actual reality.

a couple of notes first.- The people of that world are ¨hyumans¨ not ¨humans¨, this is important for later. second.- Mio-sama is best girl, you´ll see ;)

you know the last and this ep i do not care about these characters what so ever

He really pissed me off because if he would've just worked with them they could've beat that demon. He got Naval killed she was a beast. Another thing Lies Of P is my GOTY I platinum that game.

it makes me mad cuz these hereos are so fucking uninteresting and we didnt got to see the MC the last 2 episodes i mean i know we need backstory but too not be able to binge it its just annoying rn

Feel like these last two episodes could of been the first two Oh and this is NOT the worse thing he does. One we will likely see the other we won't but he sucks

Save judging Lily until after her motivation is revealed. Out of the Limia and Gritonia cast she is arguably the one who may do the most good and has the most interesting arc out of the lot of them. Don't get me wrong she is a villain but like Heath Ledgers Joker or Dolores Umbridge she is a well written villain.

With theses last 2 episodes it show me that this isnt a rip off version of That time I got Reincarnated as a slime.

Actually I can't say I blame the guy. In fact it's the most rational decision in that situation. He kept himself and his team alive. Now they can fight another time. If he girl hero did the same, her whole team would also be a life. In essence. She wanted to be a hero, to be worthy and it killed her best friend. Frankly- it doesn't make her more valuable. It makes her foolish. And her decision cost her friend her life.

I hope they dont do some magic bullshit to bring back naval. sure i would be nice to have her back. but then if anyone else dies im not gonna why care the could just be brought back.

Having read the web novel, I am thoroughly enjoying the anime, especially being told by most anyone I asked that there will never be a second season or a light novel release. The light novel is now on my preorder list for March 30th, and I want to tell all the Isekai haters right now, "You can all eat my shorts!" I love Isekai and I really like this particular isekai, so let me revel in it. Great video, and yes SPOILER ALERT!! they are making a Tomoki straw man. I doubt season 2 gets that far, but here's to season 3, which will probably never happen... right? Well, read the light novel!
