![]() “Thanks to this, there are good prospects for Palkenia Grasslands to become a grain-producing region.” (Helmut) Ten days after defeating Grade Grande, we, who participated in this mission, once again had an audience with His Majesty. We graciously thank you for your hard work on this endeavor.” (Helmut) “Armstrong, Burkhart, Associate Baron Baumeister, the three of you, have together successfully concluded the mission of subjugating Grade Grande. Now that i think about it, what's the point of making them attend magical academy which was supposed to prepare them for adventuring if you are never gonna use it in the future.Editor’s Note: Some liberties have been taken with Helmut’s speech as it is royalty formal, but the intent has not been altered. And you can't really see her cuteness, beauty in a bunch of letters.ītw Armstrong is supposed to train Wend and Louise for like several years, until they turn 15, and Louise get very proficeint with magic herself and Wend gets physical training (which he will never use in the future haha), the training is rough, the Er's training is also about this long, in ep 8 they are already gonna be 15 and will move onward their adventure goal. Then it comes down to adaptation and staff desire to expand on the fights, and they are like: " Eh? why bother." so we have what we have.Įlise pulling up was soooo cute <3 one advantage over reading the novel haha. ![]() All because it makes it easier to not show the full fight, but rather just make him one shot, so it's easier for you, i can understand that. Also makes you understand reasoning for short battles in animes, or why some protagonists are very overpowered. it was the same in the novel and a bunch of readers were upset over the whole need of the tournament if you aren't gonna show the fights, the author doesn't really like to show lengthed fights, even the battles with dragons were all 2 shots, and the later zombie subjugation too. ![]() Really like that the guy who beat him ended up being his sword teacher, now that's the best teacher to have.but again, we never ever are gonna come back to him, so he is kinda irrelevant, making you question the need of this episode even more.Īs far as Wend losing right away goes. Never remembered Er EVER being concerned over being kicked from the team and it's really easy to spot that it's anime original, given that never even once did they came back to it in later episodes. Really goes to show how anime creators think. But the anime creators really pushed this trope of " i want to win no matter what". I now can kinda see how adaptation are made, the trope of: " I want to win no matter what" is really old, while author avoided that trope, showing his realisitc take on the situation, knowing he won't be able to win, else settling for just finishing as high as possible. It wasn't mentioned all that well before but Er is actually a pretty decent swordsman, it's not really a surprise he went this far into the tournament, however in the novel his motif for entering the tournament was to get as far as possible, knowing he won't beat his future teacher. an angry duke's son who wants Elise as his 15th wife and challenges Wend to a duel and then summons an ancient dragon, making it a 3rd dragon that Wend kills. ![]() And we've missed some other better chapter that could've been adapted, like. Always thought that the tournament is not needed, seeing how it never even once gets referenced again in the later events. This show will not rewrite the book on isekai anime but I can at least enjoy it as harmless and light-hearted escapism.ĭidn't think they would adapt an interlude chapter, not even a real chapter. For now, The 8th son? Are you kidding me? is playing its cards right by focusing on character development and keeping things on a small scale in order to facilitate emotional investment from the viewers. He struggles against his own securities because he doesn't want to be a burden to his team and gets inspired to his best because he realizes his own friends are on the same position as he is.Īll in all, this was a good episode. This episode was also a fine display of character development for Er, who tries to pull his weight as the sole non-wizard of his team. Well himself is eliminated in his very first match, against the reigning champion, no less. Well and his friends have to partake in a tournament where magic is prohibited and, against TV conventions, they lose the tournament. I have to give props to this episode for taking the main characters out of their comfort zones and getting them to learn something completely new. ![]()
