[Huh...?]

Which "Ice Cave" fights were covered in Vol 09?
As far as i know, Hajime's and Shizuku's were done in it.

On a side-note, need some clarification on things (for the wikia).

- There is a special cover of Yue in Vol 01, wanted to know its background (is it just a bonus cover, or was it a cover for some Special or Limited Edition version)?

- Found that the Manga Volume 02 had a Limited Edition release with a different Cover. Is there any other Manga Volume Covers similar to that one?

- Also, need some clarifications on the previous 2 Drama CD's, like what was covered in them (plot and stuff).

Hajime's and Shizuku's fights were the only ones covered in volume 9. Everyone else's should be shown in volume 10.

That cover was a bonus alternative cover being offered from Animate.

I don't recall there being any other alternative manga covers. There were a few different bonus posters floating around, though.

Thank "borisdrakoni".

By the way, is there any way for me to see the "ToC" of the official translated Manga Volumes for both main and "Zero"? (need the chapter titles for the Wikia).

Also, is there any news regarding official localization for the Anime series yet?

Edit-2: By the way, would it be right to consider the "Audio Drama" story as part of the Light Novel story-line? Or do i consider it as a different/seperate thing altogether.

I agree yue is going to have the cover of the last vol, i am sure, and it's going to be adult yue form.

i get it, but it doesn't make sense, she is a secondary character, she is not important enough to have the cover, now because of that mistake, according to my calculations there is going to be only one main heroine to not have 2 front pages like the rest, Maybe Tio or maybe Kaori, but i am sure tio is going to be the only one without 2 covers.

Vol 1 Yue
Vol 2 Shea
Vol 3 Tío
Vol 4 Kaori
Vol 5 Shizuku
Vol 6 Shitty Eri
Vol 7 Yue
Vol 8 shea
Vol 9 Shizuku
Vol 10 ????? Kaori
Vol 11 (last one) adult form yue

[RDNexus]

I surely wanna see that Adult Yue...

[Huh...?]

I doubt Volume 11 would be last, considering that Volume 10 would mostly focus on finishing the Ice Cave, and by stretch the start of Climax. I would say that, Volume 11 would end at when Hajime & Co. enter the Ehit's realm, and we get some focus on the fights that happen in Tortus (rather than later like in WN, they would be covered before). And if there is still some space, maybe Hajime's battle with the Apostle's would be shown.

So, as per my guess, i think the final volume would atleast be either Volume 12 or 13, considering the amount of stuff there was in the WN, after the end of the Ice Cave trial. Eri or Suzu would atleast be on the cover of possible one of them (because the fight between them is one of the major ones, atleast in the WN).

Kaori is most likely to be on Volume 10 cover, as she did have a funny trial in the Ice Cave and she doesn't really have any major focus after this point (as per WN). Or it could be Tio, because we see Serious/Super Tio during the Ice trial. But then again, she might be on focus on the Volume which has her face Freid and go God Dragon mode.

No votes on the cover of the eventual final vol being the traditional harem cover?

If you want to see the contents of the official manga, then I recommend buying it, although the printed English version of the manga actually left out the table of contents pages. Well, if you're just looking for the official chapter titles, see below. And definitely buy it anyway. English volume 4 of the manga doesn't come out until June, and Zero and Nichijou won't start being printed until later this year.

Chapter 0: The Beginning
Chapter 1: Summoned to Another World
Chapter 2: Jobs
Chapter 3: The Great Orcus Labyrinth

Chapter 7: The Meeting
Extra Short Story: A Fateful Introduction

Volume 2

Chapter 9: Azure Blaze
Chapter 10: Yue's Eating Habits
Chapter 11: A Field of Flowers

Chapter 18: Ten Days
Chapter 19: Setting Off
Chapter 20: The Reisen Labyrinth
Extra Short Story: Don't Get the Wrong Idea, All Right?! We Are Not Friends Yet, Okay?!

No localization announcement has been made. Crunchyroll and Funimation usually gobble up most of the new titles every season, so odds are it will get picked up by one or the other at some point.

The drama CDs shouldn't be considered strictly part of the LN canon, but like with the other adaptations the author likes to cherry pick certain things from them to add to the story. For instance, Shea's various Earth fighting styles and techniques that were introduced in the first drama CD are mentioned in the after stories too, but the author changed the details on how she learned them. In the CD, Hajime is the one who told Shea about them, whereas in the WN she learned them from watching Youtube videos.

Technically, Kaori has already been on two covers. She and Yue both appeared on the special edition cover of volume 8. Tio is the only one who hasn't gotten a second cover yet.

I don't think the cover could fit that many girls. Two characters is a pretty tight squeeze already. Well, it's not like the story will end after the final battle anyway. The after stories will more than likely end up getting printed too, and there's already almost as many chapters there as in the main story. Plenty of opportunities for all the heroines to shine.

[Kyureki]

^ There's actually precedent for a 9 girl harem cover (albeit half of them pushed to the back) with Rokujouma no Shinryuakusha.

Spoiler:

And to add to that, that series also finished the main story with that volume, but is still ongoing with after stories and if/alternate universe stories.

[Huh...?]

Thanks for the chapter names, borisdrakoni.
As for buying the books, well its not that easy for me, especially the NSFW type of stuff.

Even if the Audio Drama isn't strictly part of the LN canon, would it still be ok to put it under the LN article on Wikia? Or do i create a separate page and cover them there?
The current LN article page is like this,
https://arifureta.fandom.com/wiki/Ar...s)/Light Novel

Edit: Well decided to make a separate article for the Audio Drama.
https://arifureta.fandom.com/wiki/Ar...s)/Audio Drama

By the way, can you tell me the duration of the Audio Drama's?
Also other than the VA's of Hajime, Yue, Shea and Kaori (whose name i already got from the official site), can you tell me if there is any other note worthy VA or character in the Drama? (whose name should be mentioned in the article)
Also is there any Recording Studio related to Drama?

Note: Sorry for asking too many questions.
But, if you can or want to, you can add in the content on the Wikia yourself (though some of the pages have been locked out, so that only registered users can add stuff; did it because didn't want random edits while cleaning is going on).

[Huh...?]

Thanks for the help again borisdrakoni.
And, after searching quite a while, i finally found the images for the CD, which i have now added to the Wikia.

Now all i have to do is figure out how to arrange the other infos into the article.

Edit: I didn't find anything regarding that Sound Production Manager of Disc 2 from Goblin Slayer, but i did find his name on a series named "Sen no Kiseki IV". Would have to look around more i guess for his name's reading.

By the way, you didn't mention any name for the "Recording Assistant" for Disc 2; so does it mean it didn't have any, or is it the same person as the Disc 1's?

Oh, i found the title of the two CD's, is the rough translation correct?

CD#1: 幸運のお守り - Good Luck Charm
CD#2: 心の闇を垣間見た! - A Glimpse into the Darkness inside the Heart!

By the way, would it be ok if i write a shorter summary for the Drama CD's based on the summary that you posted before?

My money goes to Kaori, she played a key role in the story in that particular part following the last Dungeon. And I agreed with you, I see no point in putting that monster Eri on the cover, so many great girls and you have to put the one with the worse personality and whose sanity is minus 1000.

Many summer series are already getting PVs with a decent amount of sample animation, and this one only has that short PV so far...

Either we are in for a suprise in the near future or someone is just a lazy ass I am sure it's not the author, he is working his ass off for it, hat off to him.
I am actually eagerly waiting for ANIMEJAPAN tomorrow the 23rd of March, hopefully they will release some intel about our lovely Arifureta-chan or champ.

[n0m@n]

Perhaps the first episode will be 1-hour long (including commercial) so it could include upto the part where Hajime finds Yue within the dungeon. LN-adapted anime which comes to my mind which did that was Re:Zero.

Shield Hero did the same, this cour, and SAO:Alicization did it too, last cour

[sierra117]

The problem isthat: is Arifureta potential enough to achieve that? Iirc even Tensei Slime didn't got that treatment

[RDNexus]

But it's getting a whole Season2
