I read that next episode should be the last one. Still, I do think 5 episodes focusing on character introductions is just too much in a season that's going to be a mere 12 episodes long. There's some world building as well, but... not all that much. What keeps me watching is the interesting first episode mainly. A lot of the characters are somewhat interesting, but it's not like they've gotten much more than an introduction.

Pretty sure she'd get wrecked, just like every single character in anime. The dude from the instant death anime/manga/LN is probably the most OP character in all of anime.

Black Note CAN'T use Arts, no Outsider can, this has already been stated. Also while we have no direct examples, I presume that Outsiders since they can't interact w/ Word Arts, are likely immune to some extent on direct Word Arts usage on them (so "Die" wouldn't work on them for example). My bet is that Kia gets the clap from speedblitz Outsider like Soujiro or Dazan, they both seem to be the blitzer melee types who can prolly clap her before she can do anything

Someone on Reddit mentioned that 1 more episode before all Arc 1 players are dropped, then the 2nd half of Arc 1 is the first Battle Royale or w/e (IDK specifics, I assume it just is cuz that's what this has been leading to, can't figure out what else it would be if the intros are out of the way before the 2nd half)

Bro, the fact she can tell someone to die and they would die just reminds of the new my insta death ability anime lol

Yawika is so wholesome and adorable. Must protecc.
Meanwhile, Kia is literally the Everything Whisperer. Inumaki Toge wishes he could be her. Is she... God? XD

Elea's got the same VA as Elsa from Re:Zero.
Also, Nihilo the Vortical Stampede is voiced by Rie Takahashi!

Next episode is the last intro episode of volume 1 but the tournament will happen in either a second core or in season 2 or 3. There will be other things happening outside the tournament. This story is so much more complex than it lets on its amazing. Also yes it was a LN first.

I found that the description for Language in the eyecatcher of this episode is pretty interesting for the world-building. I'll add a more detailed description since the subtitles always neglected this section.
"In this world, there's no common language. Each individual here assembles their own language system through their own grammar and pronunciation, while the meaning of different languages will be translated through the Word Arts. Therefore, as long as an individual bears a form of language, a non-minia or even a minia from the Distant World is also capable of conversing in this world."

naw, i would be willing to bet they just wanted to introduce a few main players, i would be willing to bet there is at most just 2 more of these and then the tournament will begin... Shit... could begin next episode.

Wonder how long these intros are going to go on. If it’s the entire season I’m mad
