Let's go here comes the last episode
What did you think of the episode?
has the manga reached the part where the anime ends?
Both the manga and the light novels (the original source publication) have moved beyond the anime.
do you know which chapter? I really want to read the manga please!
The end of chapter 9 is where the anime stopped. That said though, if you want to read the manga, start from chapter 9 or a little bit before it anyway
where do u read ur manga
A couple of friends of mine who have a LOT of it, and two local bookstores which carry manga and light novels. I often go there when I need to decompress after a long day, or just need to kill some time. There is a library near me that also carried a lot of manga, but it's cutting back its resources and available books due to lack of funding...
This series was amazing!
The animation felt consistent throughout the 12 episodes, the story pace felt just right and I liked a lot of the characters that were presented.
I feel that it ended at the right moment, introducing us to "The Hero".
Hopefully, we'll have a S2, but if we don't, that's okay too, I really enjoyed watching this.
8.5/10 for me.
Speculation
The "hero" is the trainee he was teaching in episode 1. They look about the same age, so they might have both been killed on earth around the same time and the goddess is smirking because she knows shes slowly pitting them against eachother.
I could see the trainee coming back in some way, but I don't think the trainee being the hero makes sense given her personality. IIRC, the show is intentionally murky when they show the goddess killing the assassin. What they show is her being led to the person needed to kill the hero and then they show her destroying the plane without directly tying the assassin to the revelation that the person needed to slay the hero needs to be killed in the plane explosion.
If we're delving into wild speculation, I'd be more likely to believe that the assassin is the hero that will slay the demon lord, and is grossly overpowered, and will bring about the world falling into chaos. And that it's the trainee that the goddess was actually reincarnating with the intention of slaying the hero. Then the show gets to end with the trainee finally surpassing the assassin.
In this future, I don't think the assassin will actually fall to the dark side or whatever they said would happen to the hero. It'd be more likely that he's just too powerful and the only way for the world to be at peace is for his OP ass to die given how much trouble his powers stir up, but they'll still want the assassin to have his happy ending so his death would be faked and he'd just retire (perhaps to his merchant persona) with his harem.
i got two questions. first, did lugh really destroy Gáe Bolg or did he pick it up after? i just feel like something known as a divine treasure should be unbreakable unless against the hero's or demon lord's full power attack
second, in episode 2 when Lugh was choosing his skills, it didn't show us what he picked for the D-tier skill and he said "the gods must be blind." Did it already show what the skill was or is it something revealed later on?
I was kind of hoping for a bit of expectation subversion by having the berserker actually be the hero as expected and just get eliminated in an instant, only to have the demon lord become the responsibility of the assassin without the hero around to stop them.
Then the goddess could isekai someone else who would need to kill the assassin who becomes the hero.
But nope, all we have is harems, excessive child sex, and contrived incest. Don't think I'll tune in for the next season.
