I love how self-aware this series is about its JRPG leanings. The inside jokes that only RPG fans would know always brings a smile to my face. I did enjoy the return to the actual "dungeon". Solid episode.

After working tirelessly toward his goal of a self-sustainable NEET lifestyle, Kinji Ninomiya has finally achieved his dreams. Now looking down on common folk commuting during a typhoon from the penthouse of one of his apartment buildings, Kinji gets ready to start his new, slothful life.

Will Kinji be able to overcome his restraints and attain financial freedom once more? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Quick Takes
View all 32 takesThe truth about the entire origin of the show is revealed in this episode. The narrative also shifts once again. A must watch episode that fills in some plot holes from earlier episodes.
I feel this episode is split in two parts. One part focusing on Kinji's journey and the other focusing on another character's backstory. The transition is not seamless and feels quite jarring. Always expect the unexpected in this series.
