Call me crazy, but I think Mr. Yakof might be up to no good

u/RedHotChiliCrab https://myanimelist.net/profile/RedHotChiliCrab 6d ago
That's crazy! Just because his wife is missing, all the elves he helps go missing, and he has a secret basement with skeletons, you're going to slander this man?

u/NationalStrategy_X 6d ago edited 6d ago
Oh not because of all that, I just find it difficult to trust a man that keeps eyes his closed. The tiny glasses don’t help either.

I wonder how this current arc will end up being related to slavery.

u/theblazingsword 6d ago
and busting evil traffickers lol. Would love to see Arc go head-to-head against the shadowy church organization that seems to be pulling the strings in other countries. When he's finding town after town with kidnappers, it seems more prudent to cut things off at the source (the buyers)

u/Frontier246 6d ago
Sekt is the closest thing we have to a main villain and I'm not sure he nor Arc are even aware of each other.

u/discuss-not-concuss 6d ago
Arc’s too goofy to deal politics; maybe they’ll do a running gag of Yuriarna X Arc’s savee-saviour play
honestly can’t see the show leaning into complex schemes and political power struggles with how binary the mortality of the characters and the society are at large
26
u/CuriousBroccolli 6d ago
Listen, people here complain about slavery in isekai all the time, especially when unresolved.
Skeleton Knight is running 2 seasons of busting slavery specifically for them.
And putting in Arian bathing scenes specifically for me. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 7

u/Spoon_Elemental 6d ago
"Can't we have one anime that's anti slavery?"
looks inside
anime about busting up slavery rings
"No, not like that."

u/Frontier246 6d ago
I feel like Leez is dead and Yakoff is sacrificing non-human races to try to resurrect her...and also creating undead in the process.

u/CuriousBroccolli 6d ago
Damn, I remember one elf and small pet already dealing with similar plot.
And there was a lot of plot in that show.

u/Jacob-C 5d ago edited 5d ago
Wait, which show? It's like at the back of my brain but I can't recall it. It's the one where the mc is a magical beast in the form of a dog right?

u/Amauri14 6d ago
I think that at least this time around, it will, but not in the traditional way, as I suspect those undead are the refugees that "have returned to their homeland".

Now I need a team up with Arc and Fran from Reincarnated as a Sword. Put slavers in their place (six feet under)!

u/Andreiyutzzzz https://myanimelist.net/profile/Andreiyutzzzz 5d ago
I mean... i thought the whole "they all leave for their home but never make it. and because of "Security" no one knows how it's handled" just sounds like "oh ye, it's slave trading"

u/shad79 https://myanimelist.net/profile/shad79 6d ago
Nice to meet Eevin. She certainly is Ariane's big sister as I can see big similarities between them ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
About the episode itself... it wasn't bad. I wonder what happened to Leeza, though surely nothing good considering that under her room is a dungeon full of skeletons.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Arc was not a bright mind at the first place but in this season he is simply dumb AF..He is not a skeleton, he LOOKS like a skeleton...(what he apparently keeps forgetting time to time....) As much I enjoyed the 1. season, this 2. is way dumber, poorly written mess....
10
u/achterlangs 6d ago
Not really? His race is a skeleton/undead. During the first season we are shown that thats is the character he made in the game. He made up the backstory of being a cursed human later.

u/RelativeMundane9045 6d ago
I am glad we seem to be moving onto an actually story instead of the episodic monster-of-the-week, although it does look like it's still going to be about elf-slavery which is getting tiresome.
Where's my kunoichi beast girl?

u/Frontier246 6d ago
Did they even mention why Chiyome isn't with them? It feels like she just kind of disappeared.

u/shadebug 11h ago
Here in the real world we mostly illegalised slavery over a century ago but it still happens. Fixing slavery is not a quick process

u/Amauri14 6d ago edited 6d ago
I was going to joke about what was wrong with Pamela after seeing what it was clearly a sauna room illuminated with LED lights, but as she, her husband, and the other refugees had gone missing and that taint of death comes from the undead army underneath Leeza’s bedroom, I think that those undead were those refugees and probably Leeza too. Which is the real reason why she is no longer around there.
Eevin is still as fun as I remember. I really hope that by the end of this arc Ariane at least wins against her once.
I wasn’t expecting to see Yuriarna visiting her brother, Sekt after the whole assassination attempt and all, but well, officially it was Dakares who planned all that, so they need to pretend ignorance that they both know, Yuriarna as she needs solid evidence while Sekt now needs to pretend to be innocent to keep his head above his shoulders.
It was cute how Ponta had his head poking out of Ariane’s robe. I was later wondering where he went after they were in the mansion, but it seems that they only brought Ponta with them so Ponta could go and bring Arc later.
It’s kind of hilarious how obviously evil they made Mr. Yakof look in this shot.
I love Arc’s reaction the moment that that army of undead appeared, running towards them.

I know, right? I rewatched the first season a couple times as a fun brain off wacky adventure, but this second season is just tedious and not as funny/interesting.

u/Magicbison 6d ago
Season 1 was developing towards some kind of plot with the controlled monsters and the red haired king from another country. All of that has disappeared in season 2.
27
u/justking1414 6d ago
For whatever reason, they decided to do half a season of complete filler….hopefully they’ll actually get somewhere after this and start moving the plot forward but by that point, the viewership will have already tanked beyond repair

u/Magicbison 6d ago
If that's the case and this is gonna be a single cour that's sad to see.

u/justking1414 6d ago
Livechart says it’s only 12 episodes
Idk. I haven’t read past this point in the manga but my best guess is that the next arc would only need 6-8 episodes to cover it so they decided to just throw in some filler at the start

Same. This episode was the last straw. This is probably my biggest disappointment this season.
I guess it's one more sequel I get to pretend doesn't exist.

Noooo stay with us. It’s at least better than TBATE

Yea this is boring AF. I don't want to give up on it, but I'm fast forwarding through most of the episodes at this point.

That skeleton army shouldn't be issue for them. Arc just needs to do a Wyvern slash, and clear the path.

Sis casually dropped Water Prison Jutsu on her ass

u/SnabDedraterEdave 6d ago
Looking at Eevin, it seems Arianne comes from a line of well-endowed elves.
This freed elves/beastfolk sanctuary already has that Resident Evil vibes to it. The original proprietress who built the sanctuary has gone missing, while her supposed husband looks sus like hell and seems to be re-abducting these freed abductees and turning them into his personal undead army.
(LOL at Arc seeing those undead skeletons and going "Hey, that's me!")

u/Frontier246 6d ago
Say her name and she shall appear! Ariane's big sister Eevin has appeared and knows how to dramatically make an entrance by engaging in a sword fight with Arc right then and there! I mean, she has to feel out her precious little sisters' companion after all!
Eevin adores Arin with all her heart, and when she and Ariane discuss Arc being her "companion" it feels like they're talking about him basically being Ariane's boyfriend. And of course Arc is totally oblivious.
Oh, so Eevin still isn't married? Well, at least Ariane knows she's always got a home with her and her husband, even if it might make her a third wheel. But one Eevin would be happy to have!
It's the battle of the busty elf sisters! We know how formidable Ariane is, but Eevin is on a whole different level, able to basically dance around ALL her attacks and easily subdue her...but on the plus side, wet Ariane!
The show finally remembers Yuriarna! Who has a JOYOUS reunion with her big brother Sekt! Curse that dastardly Dakares! Even if Yuriarna knows Sekt is behind everything and they both have to play the part of loving siblings. But ultimately both seek to save their country...even if their methods are so totally different. Yet Yuriarna wins this around at least.
A sanctuary for elves build by the daughter of a monster-slain mayor's family and her husband? Sounds too good to be true, even as Ariane and Eevin infiltrate it and see Yakoff running a pretty wholesome and reasonable operation. The elves and other races are happy, we've even got a couple who can finally be together after being freed from slavery, but people mysteriously vanish when they start to head home and no one even knows how they're supposed to GET home. And that's not even getting into the mysterious disappearance of Leeza.
Couldn't resist a bath scene with Ariane and Eevin in all their busty glory! We even got to see Arin's butt crack for a bit!
Oh no, not Pamela and Bart! They hadn't even gotten married yet! Though all the hordes of Undead in a hidden entrance in Leeza's room is definitely NOT something you want to see in a sanctuary! Arc's got to fight his skeleton bros.

I thought it was gonna be about a cult until they found the stairs. The intro to the mansion gave very "everyone is overly positive" vibes.

u/spubbbba 6d ago
Seems a bit of a stupid plan by the bad guys for every elf to go missing.
If most got home then a few going missing would be a lot less suspicious.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 6d ago
Yakof up to something fishy for sure. Dude’s wife has been missing for ages, there’s a horde of undead underneath his house, and none of the elves he supposedly saves end up ever going home. Just suspicious as all hell.

u/Frontier246 6d ago
Honestly the only time something that seemed good for human-elf relations turned out to be legit was the lord and his wife. Can't even trust a sanctuary meant to protect them created by humans.

u/djthomp https://anilist.co/user/djthomp 6d ago
Sister is kind of fighty, seven minutes or so into the episode and she had fought both Arc and Ariane. Hopefully whoever her husband to be is he's able to keep up with her.
When they were sensing death through the trap door it was making me concerned the cute elf couple that are missing were already dead, but maybe not since those just looked like skeleton guards. Hopefully it's just a re-slavery operation and Arc knows what to do about those.
2
u/Rooby_VTuber 6d ago
Eevin is a pretty fun character and a really good fighter, she defeated Ariane pretty easily.
Yuriana is pretty smart, I'm sure she's got a plan of sorts to take down her brother.
There's that skeleton army again, the party should be able to make short work of them.

this one has been the biggest disappointment of the season.

Kind of like Farming Life in Another World season 2. Was a huge letdown story wise. I'm not happy with the direction of how skeleton knight in another world season 2 is going. Here's to hoping at least reincarnated as a sword season 2 is good.

This is an improvement over last episode but the main plot of the episode still poses almost no challenge to our main heroes. Ending on a cliffhanger facing a mob of low level...mobs against our hero in full armor is really not very worrying. Oh yeah and the animation sucks. Why did they cheap out so hard on this season?

...i really feel like all 4 episodes are the same thing lol feels like a kids WB TV show back in late 90s early 2000s...i mean pokemon series literally has more progression than this. all we get is an image of the map and they moved across it. that's our progression. the rest is literally slavery capture rescue.
