Wow, I was never expecting the anime to show any of the brutal details, but it not only completely cut out what happened to Barry and Camilla, but didn’t even bother to explain how Jamie survived the orc den. What happened to Jamie after the whole ordeal is also very different from how things went in the manga, unless they are saving that for the next episode. If this is the last we see of Jamie then I’m going to riot because she is supposed to have some very nice scenes with Clover before the next arc.

Truth, they are cutting A BUNCH of essencial things from manga. It’s far away from just cutting 1~2 scenes, they are ripping and changing entire chapters.

I'm kind of disappointed with how they cut out the death scenes of Barry and Camilla.

I didn't expect it to be as brutal as in the manga, but completely cutting out is just... um... feels incomplete and so unsatisfying.

The ending for Simon rubbed me the wrong way. Most people don't think about it too much because first of all it's fictional but second of all because eternity is difficult to actually comprehend. But personally I don't believe anyone deserves eternal punishment. There is no crime you can commit that causes even a tiny fraction of the pain of his fate. It's an entirely unequal punishment. You could do it to someone you don't know because it's easy to not care about people outside of your circle but to do it to a friend you grew up with. I find it hard to believe anyone would do that. He was strong enough I'm sure he could have found a way to just kill him outright. But to damn him to an eternity of horrific suffering is not right if you think about it outside of the box of just 20 minutes of entertainment. Sure it feels good to see the bad guy lose but it's really bad for the psyche to glory in such a horrific outcome. We take hell and eternity far too lightly.

Simon got what he deserved, but why didn't we get to see the deaths of the other members? I wanted to see them get their just desserts.
Thankfully Jamie was saved.

that was unfortunate what happened to simon, but that was his karma for all the bad deeds he committed. and that merchant deserved the punishment given to him by both rain & yuke lol he thought he got what he wanted already, but too bad for him, yuke was able to dispel the collar & rain then returned his favor back to him by placing the collar on his very own neck! lol

YES! JAMIE IS SAVED BY MC!!! 😭😭😭
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.

For those of you who are complaining about contents being cut from the manga, please understand that the manga is not the original source material. The series is originally a novel and the manga adds so many things that make the manga very different from the novel. The anime is adaptation of the novel version and it’s faithful to the original content.

That felt almost like an end of season episode, and didn't realise it was only 1/3 of the way through (thought it was 12 episodes total).

The added angle of the cursed mark from Persephone is kind of interesting though, and will wait to see where that goes! The longer season at least means there should hopefully be more development and pay-off for it.

From what I read, the anime adapted more of the source light novel (at least for this phase of the story), which I think is quite appropriate since it's aiming for a wider range of viewers.
Try reading the manga adaptation starting around chapter 50, you will see how brutal things developed there (though that is just how the mangaka interpreted it). I kinda like this more toned down version of how things happened in the dungeon and outside, quite easier to swallow so to speak.

i think for me in this ep, not just unshown end of other Thunder Pike members was brutal, Yuke casting dark spell to Simon (since Simon claiming to be immortal) and just left Simon to suffer alone in the dungeon was most brutal, Yuke have to say farewell to a person who was once his childhood friennd

anyway, Jamie will join Clover next episode and will add more love rivalry between the girls. wonder how they will work out.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let this be the end of Simon. Also, yay Jamie got saved!

There's gotta be some kind of trade-off for Yuke being able to use all that dark magic so much this episode...

I think for the pact, he has to F*ck the Pale immortal Goddess for all eternity after he dies, and I thought I heard something

There was so much satisfaction in this episode. Rain putting that slave collar on him was icing on the cake and then Yuke putting the cherry on top with the added curse lol.

Simon being tortured forever is a fitting punishment for the pos narcissist.

Jamie being saved and alright in the end and finally gets to apologize to Yuke.

I think the title of the next episode at the end of the credits is a good hint of what's to come next.

They butchered the hell of this. Completely cut out Thunder Pike getting the "Goblin Slayer" treatment. In the actual story, the forbidden artifact Simon used doesn't make him undead, it regenerates the body using demonic flesh which corrupts the users mind. Simon kept regenerating while being eaten by orcs.

Simon was an unrepentant ass but... damn, that was one hardcore punishment. Probably more than he really deserved, but he brought it all upon himself. I'm just glad Jamie was saved and is redeemed. Even though she's banned from adventuring, maybe she can be part of Clover as a stay-at-base support unit until her ban expires. I'm hoping that's what next episode's title is alluding to.

Alright then what do i get here? Ofc brilliant mc manage to get use of the immortal ruler curse by his trademark snapping finger. Hell yeah boy. He dispel Rain collar, gotta be her bride after, even saving Jamie curse with positive curse whatever, and then curse the undead Simon onto something so cursed i can't even contain my laugh when that's happening. Oh boy what an episode.

Tho what's happening with the rest of Thunder Pike member could've been reveal as well since thats gotta be the strength of this series. But oh well, it is what it is idk what's goin on at all, and lets see if dude clover harem leaf gotta be grow more.

Very nice ending ;d I didn't expect Simon to get such a bad end ;o
Too bad Jamie didn't join them, but maybe in a year? it has 24 episodes so maybe..
but maybe I should have started this anime after it had more episodes? ;( I am only left with one now ;(;(;(

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I'm confused, isn't it light magic's work to dispel curses or the power to nullify the slave collar.

Why are everyone in this world who hates Yuke care about his harem, it's just ridiculous.

So the shadow stalker just kept on attacking the Simon, while the whole Clover was standing and watching from a small distance and not a single Shadow stalker tried to attack them? It's a jock right, cause it's not funny.

And that's the end of the shitty Thunder Pike party and Simon. Good fucking riddance! It was satisifying seeing Yuke do that to Simon, and now Simon will suffer for eternity. Glad he didn't show him any mercy and didn't care that they were childhood friends. Yeah, Jamie got rescued, but she's still a bitch for laughing at Yuke back then with the other Pike members, and so I don't care about her even if she wasn't as big of an asshole as the other Pike members were. I'm glad she wasn't invited to join Clover, even if she is banned from adventuring for a year, so hoping I don't see her face again.

Jamie being the only sane person of Thunder Pike with her feelings hidden against her and secretly recording their evil deeds, her Black Box artifact is solid evidence of the distress signal found in Achromatic Darkness, and the girls can't afford to put Yuke in danger going back to save the one and only friend worth saving. Even Persephone's mark on Yuke allowing him to dispel the slave collar on Rain, and inflict a curse on Besio, he got his just desserts alright. Scordia leader Lucent arriving at Clover's base to provide him another Scroll of Exit to save Jamie, it's truly a blessing for Yuke to save an old and dear comrade friend.

But considering Achromatic Darkness and its stairway to different and unpredictable abnormalities, Clover has only one chance to find Jamie at the soonest, skipping against the Grey Field and landing at an alternate and destroyed Finis. To find Simon being an undead from Besio's artifacts, Marina tries with her Black Box artifact sword and being capable against her, there's no option but to take down Simon, even if Yuke has to use Persephone's dark magic against him, and even doing the same for Jamie to save her from imminent death. It hurts, but this is where Yuke parts ways with Simon.

At the very least, Clover being forced out of party activities and Jamie being stripped of her adventurer status, it's the end of the heinous reign of Thunder Pike, officially. Hopefully we'll get to see Jamie in the future.
