Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2

The first episode got a more serious vive compared to season 1.. But the fun is still there, Fran and Teacher's teamwork makes the story both funny and awesome.. And the opening theme.. It's like listening to One OK Rock.. Everything is good here.

Four years of waiting and Fran just casually surfing on Teacher through the clouds like it's a normal Tuesday. That whole ascent had me grinning like an idiot. Worth every day of the wait

Jean releasing Andy's soul before he faded got me more than it should have for a skeleton dragon that existed for one episode

the new OP genuinely caught me off guard with how dark it is. feels like a completely different show for a minute there. not complaining though

Fran getting thrown into that wall and still standing up with blood on her face is the whole episode for me. Seeing her refuse to fall even while the Lich was grinning down at her

I did not sign up to watch a little cat girl get her legs carved up and scream through a hallucination of burning alive. this was supposed to be a cozy dad and daughter dungeon show

Jean figuring out Teacher is a talking sword within like two minutes of meeting him was not something I had on my bingo card. Fran's face when it happened says it all. The guy just reads souls for fun

The curry eating contest between Fran and Jean while Urushi just watches is the dumbest most charming thing and I need more of it. Teacher sitting there like a proud dad running a restaurant

That OP goes hard. Symphonic metal out of nowhere and the visuals look like a completely different show than the one where Fran is eating curry

Stephane dropping that mana shield on them right before the final swing was the moment I lost it. She was reading a book alone at the start and now she's saving the people who freed her. That goodbye hit harder than it should have

I was not ready to watch Fran get thrown into a wall and just get back up. That stubbornness is the whole show for me

Space-time relocation instead of real invulnerability was a nice twist but I wish the fight had shown Fran visibly figuring it out instead of Jean just explaining it. Still a strong episode and that final light coated slash looked expensive

Stephane destroying the animus engine off screen was the best choice the episode made. Everyone else is grinding the boss and she quietly cuts the lifeline. Tiny ghost girl carried the whole fight

Those gold and silver skeletons felt like mini bosses dropped into a normal encounter so the win would feel earned. It worked for me even if the escalation was a bit much

Fran saying she has to survive so she can eat curry with everyone again sent me. High fantasy stakes and her whole reason for living is a plate of food. Somehow that made the despair hit harder

That Announcer lady sitting there reading out upgrade numbers while the island falls apart had me checking my phone. Cool character design though. Merging sword arts into Sword King Arts felt like patch notes for a game I don't play

Stephan dissolving into light while saying thank you for letting us go broke something in me. He spent his whole undead existence bound to a master who was losing himself and still smiled at the end. That gentle farewell landed way harder than any of the fights this arc

The five-clone Inferno Burst hitting the Lich at once was the shot I replayed three times. That monochrome Heavenly Eye view too. Between that and Stephan dissolving into light I didn't know whether to cheer or sit quietly

I get why some people are mad about the System Lady showing up but it worked on me. Raphael comparisons are fair yet she stayed restrained. The 2% line is pure anime math but I'll take it

Announcer turning out to be part of Teacher's own skill domain and then just fading out as stardust with a 2% return window is the kind of goodbye that lingers. Her telling him she was glad to serve her master one last time got me
