First half of the episode: Kazuma got SHIT ON. The mfer tried to take on a bunch of lil goblins at once and then fucking died, bro had a whole ass staring contest with Eris for minutes straight before getting lectured on how he treated “Chris” last episode, bro got outshined by all of his teammates INCLUDING AQUA SOMEHOW. If this went on for any longer it could be classed as a Kazuma torture episode, but I’m thankful it didn’t, because the second half more than makes up for it.
Second half of the episode: Kazuma switches bodies with Iris. I found it interesting how they didn’t swap voices like most body-swap episodes on TV do. Wonder if the dub’s gonna roll with that or not. Anyways, this “the prince and the pauper” storyline was pretty funny on Kazuma’s end, with him trying to get to second base with Darkness and Claire (and subsequently freezing up in “I don’t know, I never thought I’d get this far.”). Unfortunately we didn’t get much from Iris’ end, only watching her get her ass beat by thugs before Megumin roasts them. Would’ve loved to see more of teenage boy Iris. 8/10 episode
The long silence and the face Iris has in Kazuma’s body at the end were real highlights this episode.
So I guess finding the relics will be the main arc this season?
