Yet another girl joins the Hajime harem.. officially that is lol.

Tio as bad and badass as ever. "I'm sure he would punish me"... it should be ME not him.

Welcome back to Ice Cave Namek. A little bit of fighting, lots and lots of talking. I'm sure all this psychological stuff the clones are going on about would be compelling if the characters were better. That being said, this dungeon designer sucks at his job. If the whole point is to conquer yourself, then it makes no sense to open up the trial rooms to other party members.

Shizuku, clear and will be more open about wanting Nagumo's dick. Suzu and Punching Guy, clear. Tio, clear and still horny. She's apparently got some tricks, too. Next up, Waifus 1 and 2. Why are we still in the same dungeon?

Okay this addressed my big issue I had with the last cliffhanger by having Shizuku fight her own inner darkness and win after Hajime’s pep talk. So we got a cute moment with the two of them and a badass moment for Shizuku to stand on her own feet and embrace how she truly feels. I’m glad to see her being open about her feelings for once. After having her whole life dictated to her, she deserves it. Best girl.

Shoutout to Suzu as well! Often seen as the weakest of the bunch, but she had a really cool trial. Good on her for choosing to embrace what happened with Eri and confront her. Proud of her.

Trio’s trial was lowkey the most badass. She tricked her inner self and just used it as a test of her abilities. Not a single time did she ever look nervous or uncomfortable. She was in full control. You forget because of how horny and degenerate she is, just how powerful Tio is when she locks in lol.

Getting some Yue lore next week??? Let’s go!!

This test has really helped everyone grow. Shizuku is no longer holding back, she's ready to go all out with Hajime now! I didn't expect Suzu to have her moment, but it was interesting to see her true self and learn what she really wants.

However, I didn't fully understand what the Tio dub was trying to say. But for a while now I've come to believe that Tio is a character that they had to nerf to some extent with lust so that it wouldn't stand out as much. 😅

Why do I feel that season 3 part 2 is not as good as part 1? When I watched part 1, I was very excited and eagerly awaited new episodes, but when it came to part 2, I found it very boring. The fight scenes are bad, and even when the characters are fighting their inner selves, I found it boring. Does anyone else feel the same way? (Part 1 is from the previous anime season, and part 2 is from the current season).

@Chalc_ what much worse is this season is going to probably end in big agonizing cliffhanger based on the pace and we will have to wait for the final season for long time

Safe to say this was the best episode of this series. While fight with Suzu and Tio was fine. We get alot more on to Suzu's weakness with Eri and Tio's regretful past. But what truly did it for me was Shizuku's end of her trial where she defeated herself and finally confessed to Hajime. What truly did it for me was her final strike and her ponytail snapped. I love it I truly TRULY did.

Great job by Suzu & Tio.
I wonder how powerful Eri will now be? Looks like that lot are ready for action.
Looking forward to seeing Yui & Shea next time.

I was just joking last week when I said if they planned on showing every fight of the characters…..apparently the animators took it as a challenge…..another boring episode. This is getting to be at Shield Hero Turtle arc level boring.

A nice episode and Tio continues to be elite, but switching the side of the screen a character is speaking is silly, and only sillier during mirror matches.

Agreed; seems like the animation and possibly direction quality has gone down overall. Maybe they're running out of budget. I do like the story so I don't find it boring per se but it would be a lot better with the quality standard of earlier episodes. Kind of disappointing to see since I really love this series. Hopefully they're just saving it for the last few episodes.

Suzu having the LEAST trouble winning this trial kind of shocked me, most of the regular kids seem like the Labyrinths are too much for them, but she was just honest with her Self. Tio was no real surprise. I'm more interested to see what Yue & Shea will unleash, but I guess we have to wait for that.

@Narizor She would be very dangerous if she let out all those other repressed feelings, yet that masochism kink actually let's her control herself. That joke has gotten a bit stale, I think there is more to her than simple lust. Anyway, as expected she beat her evil self with only some difficulty. Interesting that it came in FULL dragon form at first.

I know it makes sense since dragons are supposed to be super powerful but I was still annoyed that it was basically "I have dragon powers I win"

Maybe Suzu was always honest with herself about being calculating and fake; that would make her arguably one of the more self-aware and emotionally mature of the cast.

I'm the guy who will re-watch all of Endless 8 every time and I had no beef with conference table arc of TenSura.

This was the first episode of Arifureta where I was actively paying more attention to Discord instead of watching. I could stand it if the chatter was more energetic and exciting but boring fights AND boring dialogue is not the way. There have been some good moments like Suzu getting in touch with herself and putting the moves on Hajime but overall these last 3 episodes have been exceptionally boring. I can't believe they made people wait for this. Hopefully Yue and Shea can salvage this.

Now that was far better episode.

Fair play to Sizuku and her "reveal" to Nagumo was actually sweet. Far better than Kaori atleast.

Suzu's trail was surprising how she was able to overcome her feelings without any help. Huge respect to her she was always shunned but she came clutch here. She will be crucial against Eri for sure. On the same boat Ryotaro able to beat his challenge. Good for these two, get together. I appreciate atleast one good non harem couple.

Tio being badass is my second favourite thing about this anime. I always enjoy when this perv actually acts cool and component. She tested her skill on this test so she can overcome the god. Damn that was good. I hope she gets her revenge against God by the end. She and her fallen dragonbred deserve it.

Yue & Shea next so it will be evn better. Things are getting better unfortunately animation is opposite case.

Shizuku finally joins Hajime's harem... sort of. 😭😭😭

She becomes more attractive as a character.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

@MenchiK1 More like he's come to terms with his past self (you know, when he was nice) and how he became because of the betrayal. It's called development.

Shizuku finally admitted to herself and confessed to Nagumo about her feelings, been waiting for that one to happen.
And I was right, the door led Nagumo to Shizuku.

That was pretty cool of Tio to use that test as an experiment for her own growth in power.

Also, Suzu matured from her former dual secret of hiding herself to acknowledge reality and face it head on.

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Hah, for the Pink Mask to help motivate Shizuku overcome her alter ego, Hajime is just giving her a push to prove her test faithful...and also let go of some of her seriousness to even try and flirt with him. At the very least, Shizuku at least warrants confessing her true feelings that she's in love with Hajime for the longest time since being in the other world.

As for the others, Suzu is struggling quite a bit with her alter ego conversing her friendship with Eri, though her true feelings won her the day as well. It's the same with Ryutarou being inferior and being OK with where he is behind both Shizuku and Kouki. Even Tio's own trial is substandard and handles her own matters gracefully...albeit still keeping her pervertic side.

Everyone going through their own trials and tribulations, some have it easy while others have it hard.
