Okay, so now that we’re at what seems to be the tip of this arc, let’s speak about why it was greater than a disappointment: the villains. Frankly, we simply do not know sufficient about it. We have no idea their origins or higher functions. We do not even know why they needed Hinata lifeless, or Rimuru lifeless for that matter. What was the benefit? What would they acquire from a battle involving the demise of their god’s favourite pawn or a battle with Tempest?
With out understanding their motivations, Seven Day’s Clergy looks as if a gaggle of one-dimensional, mustache-twirling villains who do evil for evil’s sake. (I imply, they even come full with the signature evil snort.) That does not make them fascinating, nor does it make them really feel like they are a reliable risk.
To be truthful, this arc managed to largely sidestep this downside by having Hinata fill the function of the reluctant villain. However even she was considerably mistreated. Why will we solely get her true backstory right here, two episodes after her climactic battle with Rimuru? It does a lot for her character and explains how she views the world. Oh nicely, I want an entire episode had been dedicated to it. The montage flashback we get simply seems like a lot wasted potential.
It additionally does not assist this episode particularly that the motion is little greater than our heroes standing within the villains’ magic circles, executing their final assaults like they’re nothing, after which killing them with one hit. All of it feels so anti-climatic.
That stated, I’ve to confess that this arc at the very least managed to do what it got down to do: resolve the Hinata scenario. However what are we left with now that she’s now not a hazard to Rimuru? What risks do our heroes face? An outdated man and his creepy granddaughter are hardly creating any actual pressure in the mean time (though this might at all times change as we study extra about them).
Anyway, now that each one the latest battle is behind us, we will lastly return to what the true flesh has turn out to be Tensur: boardroom conferences the place our heroes talk about the long run and plan events.
Judgement:
Random ideas:
• Rimuru understands that you may assault first, proper? You do not have to deal with each enemy assault head-on. (And though the unhealthy guys had some kind of magical destruction discipline, he might have simply lasered them like he did your complete Falmuth military, proper?)
• What is going to Luminous do with Hinata’s knights now that they know she is a demon lord? Does she have a cause to not kill them, to maintain the key secure?
• I wish to know why/how a vampire can use such highly effective holy magic with none ailing results.
• Wait, so Luminous not solely “is aware of” the place Rimuru (Hinata?) is, however can even teleport there every time he desires, regardless of by no means having been to Tempest herself? It is best to not make her mad at Rimuru. She really has her personal huge ‘I win’ button proper there.
