Navarre dies and Hibiki gains PTSD and goes through a season of character development. Sealy dies and everyone has moved past it in a couple minutes. o7 RIP random adventurer.

Though there was already a lot of death on that battlefield, hard to tell since there wasn’t much focus on it. I liked how they kept Lancer killing demon teammates as well as humans for swords but didn’t mention it like they did in the novel, you just had to notice the armor. Might be an actual example of show don’t tell actually happening.

Makoto knows that Root was watching 👀 Though Sofia didn’t have much of a comment on it, I can’t remember if she did in the novel or not… but not important so not going to look it up. He also didn’t appear to use Uchine in this fight, which I think is his strongest weapon (what he pulled when facing the goddess). I can’t remember if that was the same or not. I don’t really recognize the bow he had, so not sure if it’s special, though surely dwarf made. Also not sure about the sword Sofia pulled, I’m sure there’s some history there, maybe when the translated LN gets to… okay that might be a few years. (Edit: Oh right he literally says the bow is named Azusa. I completely missed that somehow. Now I remember, right, Uchine wasn’t his only weapon)

Really good episode, happy with how everything was adapted.

Excited for the finale, I imagine it will be a mop up episode not unlike season 1. There is one more thing I’m curious if they’ll adapt or not, so will have to see if it makes it into the last episode or maybe it was cut from the LN.
