Circles. It's a japanese way of expressing gloom and disappointment.

Kinda wished they put a bit more details on the plans Megumin and Kazuma came up with. In the LN Kazuma said he would use his hide skill to pull the mobs from the castle and megumin can blow them up. Rinse and repeat every day until only the dullahan is left.

While it might have been nice to add some details to Kazuma and Megumin's attack plan, I think it was fine. Got across that they were determined to get the job done and having a pretty good moment there. Rescue a friend, take on a great foe, explosions, they were pretty hyped.

Aqua deserves some credit. It's impressive how even when she does the right thing...it just sucks the life out of the moment for Kazuma and Megumin.

Will be nice to see them off on an adventure as a group next week. Bound to be some good hilarity ahead in that.

Well, she's not gaining any experience from it. All she's blowing up is the castle, since if she was killing mobs, it would appear on her Adventurer Card, and even then, apparently there's some kind of barrier on the castle, since there seems to be no lasting damage.

I never thought much of that plan, honestly, since all Dullahan has to do in response is raid the town, since it's full of n00bs. And if he does it the same day as Megumin tosses her Explosion, she won't be able to use it again to defend the town, though obviously he wouldn't know that.

That would only work if the dullahan couldn't control his minions. He would undoubtedly figure out fairly quickly what was going on: probably after the first explosion or two. Given that they only had a week, I don't think that would have been viable. That's usually an approach for whan you have plenty of time so you can afford to slowly winnow down the enemy's forces that way.

Oh, I missed that. Nice detail. Well, the part about her not killing any minions must be true though, or else they would have known someone was there. Megumin may have issues, but she's not going to ignore something like that.

This episode made me explode in laughter.

You know what is sad? The Dullahan general thinking the annoying heroes storming the castle to save their friend. Megumin will just keep booming that castle every single day for practice.

What I don't get is why the Dullahan was ignoring the town because it only had low-level adventurers. If I'm not mistaken, whould that not make it easier to subjugate/destroy it?

The reason it seems he was at the castle he is taking a vacation. Peace and quiet... Explosion loving Chuuni had to ruin it.

Well, Dullahan is going to be waiting all week in his castle probably wondering when they'll barge through that front door to face him like the usual group of heroes do. He's in for a surprise It was very uncliche of this anime and that was a nice breath of fresh air as well as good humour

He said something about him being a knight before he became the Demon Lords General, maybe he still has some kind of honour system or pride in not attacking the weak/peaceful? Just my guess

Edit: Or that, the post above. That may make more sense haha

First, as he himself said, he's not a big fan of slaughtering the weak, thanks to his prior history as a knight. Second, it might interfere with what he was sent there to do. But mostly I think it's just because wiping out a town, even one full of n00bs, is too much of a pain. Your undead minions are already set up over in the castle, and you have to move them all over to the town, which takes forever, especially for the zombies. It's like herding cats. Really slow, moaning, rotting cats.

YES! my favorite arc is here!!!! I'm glad to see Dullahan-san got animated in awesome way

this party just blow away every single cliche... a happy-cursed crusader and suddenly awesome archpriest that could cure the curse but could not kill one single toad

it's surprising but Megumin looks very normal in this episode

that curse-lifting moment is so funny though
who need to bother Dullahan-san anyway?

I'm glad to see the mentioning of "goso goso" moment in the night
quite weird to see that only Kazuma and Aqua stayed on the stable though... where are Megumin and Darkness sleep every night then?

Both of them had places at which they stayed before MC and Damegami showed up. One of which was mentioned this episode.

Episode 4
Let's go blow up this random castle up in the mountains on a daily basis. What could possibly go wrong? Lol Megumin turns this into a strategy when she hadn't thought through anything, like will the adventurers behind her play along or not? Aqua shows up to support Megumin but she isn't of much use. Darkness then takes the curse instead of Megumin and then confuses the Dullahan with her masochistic desires lol. And Aqua gives things a rather anticlimactic ending by lifting the curse just like that.

Lol Aqua and Megumin are traumatized by frogs and Darkness wants to experience that feeling of being in a frog's mouth and getting covered in slime. Liked Kazuma's straightforwardness in telling Aqua that they're just not Demon king killing material. And Aqua tried to blackmail him too lol.

Fun stuff here. Judging by the next episode preview, these lunatics are getting themselves into some trouble, again.

Darkness tried hard to change the conditions of undoing the curse on her to Dullahan, giving herself away to Dullahan instead of getting to his castle to fight, no wonder Kazuma does not want to understand what she is saying.
Really, after Dullahan being dumbfounded, just look at the Dullahan's terrified eyes inside his helmet when he sees Darkness M play to be enslaved by him, and it seemed like Dullahan's eyes is avoiding his contact on Darkness.
Darkness is changing the description what kind of look on his eyes is having towards her, I don't know if the other female adventurers are disturbed by Dullahan's eyes or Darkness's M play.
Darkness, why always consult Kazuma for the advice? She herself knows better than him?
She don't want anyone to stop her and saying she'll resist as long as she can, of course not.
Kazuma holding Darkness back to her to stop bothering Dullahan, Kazuma really feels bad for Dullahan and himself.

Dullahan is actually nice, though he is evil, since he just came to the weakest town just to give a warning to the novice adventurers to stop casting Explosion magic on his castle, it was rather Megumin fault putting everyone in danger.
Megumin sure has her pride, making up things like Crimson Demons will die if they do not cast Explosion magic at least once a day.
She definitely has a lot of pride as a magician in her village even though she has the "Chunni" habits, no actually her "Chunni" habits is her policy.
Megumin the arch-wizard of the Crimson Demon that needs to cast at least one Explosion magic once a day to stay alive, and the daughter of Yuiyui and Hyoizaburo.

I think Megumin is going to cast more explosion on Dullahan's castle in the next episode for a week since there's no problem with Darkness's curse anymore.
To add, considering Dullahan is waiting for the heroes to arrive within a week, he might be surprised if Megumin ignored his warnings for a week, and just getting toasted by Megumin's Explosion while patiently waiting until the week have passed.

I think Megumin has reflected on her actions, as seen after Darkness was cursed. I don't think she will be using Explosion on the castle anymore since she knows the Dullahan is there. She was only doing it there in the first place because she thought the castle was abandoned.

I was thinking maybe she'd reflected enough to break her principles and learn spells other then Explosion, which would be needed to reach Dullahan. But now? Not a chance.
