The four heroes can't gain experience if they're close to each other.

Basically narrative casualty to make sure the Heroes don't party up with each other and also to give additional justification for rivalry between them causing friction and arguments.

How convenient that Naofumi can now just make weapons out of thin air as their old weapons begin to break.:heh:

I'm gonna guess that they skipped a few things in that scene that could have explained where he got them from. Also, doesn't this break his shields weapon limitation rule in some capacity?

Didn't they explain they were drop items from the boss?

^No, unless I missed something, he just made them magically appear and handed them over saying that they should hold them over until they go back and get new ones.

He looked at the content, wondered if there were any good drops and began collecting pieces when he stopped, looked surprised and materialized the items. Seems pretty fair to infer that they were either drop items or somehow generated from the remains.

Drunktalia was hilarious and cute--we need more of her.
Raphtalia in that bathingsuit was absolutely stunning.

Hourglass? I guess another wave is soon approaching.

A little tidbit that I missed, from the end of the episode: Naofumi is level 73, Raphtalia is level 75, and Filo is level 76. More interestingly, though, Naofumi now has two hourglass symbols in the top-right of his HUD display — one for Melromarc, and one for Cal Mira. So it's clear that he unlocks access to each new hourglass location by visiting it, and verifies that that's the expectation of having the heroes summoned to various other countries can still get summoned to all the different Waves as long as they take the time to make that first visit.

Raphtalia with a ponytail looks almost too perfect. They should keep it like that
