That is one buffed up Goblin. Seriously though, I wasn't expecting them to encounter a goblin of that size in the forest. This episode shows how Lynne works together with Noor although I'd say she still has a MUCH to learn. The goblin they fought was apparently an emperor.

Not a very original idea but hey...they managed to survive that.

Kinda OK episode, but I would like to see some character development for our MC because it is getting a bit stale. Anyway looking forward to what the next episode brings.

Rein thinking that his father the King, giving Noor his rather disheveled blade, he could very well change the landscape of incoming events to come. But for now, other than Lynne following him, he's just an ordinary bumpkin who's promoted to become her instructor.

Following the fantasy trope, the Silver-ranked girl and Noor go goblin hunting, though the latter has to be depedent on her adventurer rank so they could take the job together as a party, to the Forest of Beasts. Noor needing an introduction to goblins is pretty much a necessity since he never crossed against the creatures before, but as they get further into the forest, it seems that there are no goblins to be found, only other monsters...and they soon find one, though it really looks like a mancing monster of all things.

One giant goblin of the Goblin Emperor which is created by man against the few adventurers who only know of this subspecies, Noor's defense parrying is normal, though to truly defeat it, it depends on the mana stone on its forehead, which is quite the difficult task to take down since it could regenerate. Since magic attacks render ineffective, Noor trying the tactic to have Lynne's Wind Blast deflect on the sword, then using it to cut away the stone, it's genius, and the rest is just normal goblin slaying. For a goblin to be this strong with a mana stone, Rein is taken aback because it has been an incurring investigation for quite a while. At the very least, Noor's first adventurer expedition is a milestone to celebrate, though describing the Goblin Emperor and taking its right ear for rewards...they completely forgot about it.

Congratulations Noor, one small step for someone like you.

@Stark700 not sure how you missed it? They telegraphed it like it was alien space ship coming. Of course he's gonna run into something stronger than anyone ever encountered and his plan to show he's just average will fail. But he has to be total retard about it as well. This whole premise of him being stupidly strong but stupid about it is not going to last much longer.

Okay! this anime is a joke. the level o obliviousness is getting out of hand here. Noor is and idiot, the entire cast are also the same. its rare for me to drop an anime on episode 4, but its been getting more difficult to watch, no one could tell him he fought a goblin emperor? the guild master didn't react to the giant ass right ear? what is going on here.

btw, since we realized his low level skills are extra pronounced, doesn't that entail his low heal is incredible strong? lol

EDIT: the guild master asked for the ear, my fault the entire show is trying as much as possible to conveniently make Noor oblivious

you know what, imo, the moment that Noor just went out to hunt goblin alone leaving Lynne and the guildmaster without knowing where to hunt was just hilarious, and i stopped watching for a while and laughing my heart out before continuing the episode
and don't get me wrong, the fight sequence was good, and we can see teamwork between Noor and Lynne , but they just misunderstanding each other, and hope Lynne do not further fell from Noor's obliviousnees about his strength, as in the final scene, Lynne just reconfirm with Noor what they fought earlier just a normal goblin, not A GOBLIN EMPEROR.
btw, how the manastone end up in hands of Lynne's brother, or Noor just left the manastone at the forest, i wonder why?

Oh for fuck's sake, this is getting ridiculous... Enough with the dumb misunderstandings! Ok the guy doesn't know much about the world and he lacks confidence, I GET IT, but all those misunderstandings could be cleared if the characters took like 30 seconds to talk to each other.

@MeanEYE

There has not been any real originality lately.

If it's not an umpteenth isekai, it's a level up trope with a main character clueless about their own strength, or too Overpowered and have to hide it.

Noor need to hit the library first before adventuring, man life is too carefree to the point of neglecting studying common knowledge.

Is it possible he can’t read/having problem reading?

At this point this misunderstanding joke is no longer funny but annoying. I understand that Noor can't realize his real power alone, but god, Lynne's stupidity makes it even worse.

I hope we can get development in the next episode. At least Noor gets a little clue about his power or Lynne being less idiot.

Another anime whose plot counts on the inability of its characters to have even the most basic of communication skills.
That's said, still enjoyable.

I guess once they start with "misunderstandings" they are going to keep them for the rest of the anime ... I wish they would just clear that up and have them fight with understanding their strengths and weaknesses.

Anyways, it is a fun anime and enjoyable to watch.

They were fighting for their lives and forgot the ear hahaha
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

First, in what world would nobody tell him about the "cow" he defeated being a rank A demon.
In what world the kinda royal family wouldn't *at the very very least* inquire about the guy the daughter spend all her time with, thus in this world inquire to the adventurer's guild of the mc rank. And then tell them to up his rank, 'cause no actual f-rank could ever beat rank a demon. Or at the squared very least, entice the guild to talk facts with the mc.

I get miscommunication, I get lack of education due to lack of parents, but we get to the point of wondering what the author has against his mc.
And for the viewer to get to that level of unintentional 4th wall breaking is not a good recipe for fiction...

I don't usually mind when the MC seems a bit dense, but this is pretty ridiculous. Even Lynne seems pretty dense too... so we can't even expect her to balance things out and help the MC to understand. Did she not find it strange his rank is below hers? Why didn't she question it at all? Does she not think it's strange that he knows nothing about goblins ...a beginner rank monster? And how come she just decides to stop talking when they come across this giant goblin which leads to the MC thinking it's a normal goblin.

It's enjoyable to watch overall, but the constant misunderstanding part is just annoying and wish they would just stop. It's stupid.
I am become bunny, fluffing of worlds.

What’s there to develop?! Poor Noor has the IQ of a 5 year old but SSS+ in the luck stat 😂😆😂😆😂. I mean what could really go wrong? Ya know? lol. Just wait till Lynn tricks him into sleeping with her by telling him she’s really a 25 year old. Season 2 will be him escaping prison after being convicted of statutory rape! It’s really gonna be something. Let’s see what all he can “Parry” after he drops the soap! 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

What the hell are they feeding goblins in this universe man, someone get that thing checked for HGH lmao. Absolute unit. I got a little scared when Lynne froze up in front of him, but luckily this ain’t that type of show 😭

Noor may not be the brightest, but he’s the perfect teacher for Lynne and their chemistry on the battlefield is perfect. I hope they stay as a teacher/student dynamic and there’s no romantic shenanigans. So cool seeing them take down the Goblin emperor and some of Lynne’s magical abilities when she’s not being suppressed like in the episode 1 fight.

Battle was very well animated, some really cool storyboarding. Hopefully Noor at some point realises he’s at least above average if not OP lmao.

Too bad it all ended up being for nothing because they burnt the goblin emperor up and didn’t bring proof of quest completion 😭 these two have a combined one brain cell. And why didn’t Lynne bring up the fact that Noor’s rank was below hers even though he’s way stronger? The communication skills are really poor in this anime and I can see that dragging it down if it doesn’t improve soon. Between this and Shinmai ossan I can’t take two 30 year olds who are too stupid to realise their own strength lmao.

Personally, I really liked how back in the like, first episode(?) They showed him training and how he can now parry a thousand things at once. Only to be overcome by four things this episode. Truly remarkable. No notes. 10/10 writing.

What the hell is wrong with all these people? nobody care to talk to each others or explain anything whatsoever? How did Rein got the gem from them before they went to the club trying to get the reward? and without the gem nor the ear, so they can't claim the reward? What? and they still had no idea what they killed was a big deal? and Noor being an idiot that he is, still think he needs more practice thinking he's still weak af. I really don't think I can take too much more from this dumb anime.

Alright it’s kinda getting on my nerves now that everyone in the show acts like it’s Eminence in Shadow but without any irony.

It’s one thing for Noor to have the brains of a 14 year old farmer since he did nothing by train since then but the whole “he must have known all along!” schtick ruins it. I can’t wait to see Cursificer get an anime and do the trope way better.

The first half was epic but for some reason, I think I saw the bad CG usage in the last half———the part where he tried to parry their foe for the first time, other than that, it's a nice one.

P.S. Lynn is getting cuter in my eyes...
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Somebody should start teaching this MC again because he will always think he is weaker than he already is (i.e. he remains weak because of his ignorance) making his adventures frustratingly hilarious.
