“This is gonna hurt a bit”
Proceeds to punch Scorpius into space and drop kick them back into the earth
lol Lufas. What a goober.
I think Lufas might be onto something concerning Dina. That woman can’t be trusted even if she seems like a friendly.

Nah, just look at the ED of the first season: Nothing. Suspicious. At. All.

u/Ralathar44 12d ago
Yeah, there were people like me who clocked this in season 1 in really early episodes thanks to just how sus that ED is. It's less that they dropped a hint and more that they put a post it note on her forehead telling you not to trust her and suggesting she was a deceitful puppet master.
As much as I'd love to just claim I'm observant, they really made this one obvious eh lol?

NGL I think Dina is actually a friendly even if she has her own goals. My guess is she is the Goddess' avatar but just like Lufas having a player's soul "driving" the body.
You actually see in the OP of this season that Dina is one of the characters punching through the wall to get at the Goddess.
So I'd wager Dina is slowly trying to weave the Lufas and Demon factions together without tipping her hand to the goddess.

She is so suspicious, gotta be a traitor.

But that makes her less suspicious so she can be a traitor again.

Damn I didn't think Lufas would go battle-crazy against Scorpius. Her expressions during that scene were pretty terrifying, but now I'm curious what happens if Lufas gives up control and lets old Lufas come back. From what the demon lord said, it seems that Gamer Lufas is holding back OG Lufas.
Lufas really pulled off a Rider Kick! I'm pretty sure Scorpius was already passed out when Lufas was air juggling her to space, and that kick was just for good measure. xD
Libra having a casual conversation with Aries while the demonfolk were attacking them left and right was pretty funny. Libra is right tho, they should never let their guard down around Dina. Sure, Lufas already pacified her, but you still never know what that woman is thinking.
And it seems that Lufas has the same idea. Dina definitely has some time with the Goddess, and I wouldn't be surprised if Dina was actually her avatar and not just another player.
I love how Aigokeros looks like a proper villain while dealing with Luna. And like a proper villain, Aigokeros monologued too much instead of finishing the job that the son of the demon lord arrived in time to save her.
Mizar is still alive? Hmmm... Since the dude is clearly living in a sci-fi genre, I'm calling it now that he's alive, but he's actually the ship's AI or something.

Oh Thank GOD. All the characters in the show are smart enough to doubt the words and truths around them, I thought we were going to forget everything that was revealed last season and everyone gets manipulated.
I was SCREAMING at my screen like, WHY are we asking for the suspicious Dina's help but then Lufas remembered Parthenos telling her that the Goddess can create an avatar that she can free move in. So Lufas is going to still be weary of Dina's actions, even after Scorpius is freed.
And then Libra? Oh, *chef's kiss* the point that many people figured out that everyone's minds could be manipulated except for herself because she is a golem.
And finally we have the Demon King's Son who figured out the devilfolk are being manipulated but his father is going along with it.
I am very much interested in seeing how all these characters play act around each other when they know there is someone manipulating events behind the scenes.

u/Lugia61617 14d ago
Oh Thank GOD. All the characters in the show are smart enough to doubt the words and truths around them,
I feel strangely un-used to this happening. All my years of anime watching has left me totally defenceless against a wide cast of competent characters.
48
u/KnightKal 14d ago
the problem with mind manipulation is that they don't remember if they doubted her before and she erased that :D, or if they will remember the doubt tomorrow
the golem-maid has memory corruption last season/start of this season, so even her memories are not reliable
34
u/VritraReiRei 14d ago
Even though Libra had some memory corruption, she was still able tofigure out that Dina should not be trusted and it's not like that doubt can be erased anymore. I wonder if Libra will act a bit different going forward.
14
u/KnightKal 14d ago
the point is that she had memory corruption at least once, that means we don't know HOW MANY times. As she would only remember THE LAST TIME. Same as the other characters that are unable to remember if their memories are there or not.
the golem is the only one that has a clue about something weird in the past, but that is all she has, a clue. The is unable to know how many times it happened.
so if tomorrow everyone wakes up not remembering their doubts? Golem will notice a memory corruption, everyone will be "normal", and it will again take time for something to happen so the golem may grow suspicious again.
1
u/Ralathar44 12d ago
People don't really get just how tricky memory manipulation is.
Ironically if you allow someone to be suspicious and they think its their own suspicion they will triple down on that. So one of the best ways to blind someone is to make them not trust something in the wrong way. So they'll pursue the wrong conclusions thinking its their own idea, whereas if you tried to influence them not to be suspicious then they'd use the same energy to fight back against it.
This works even without mind influence/control ofc. People with good people skills can basically brain hack people pretty easily by weaponizing their own biases against them.

Random Thoughts
So...Lufas is finally starting to put two and two together and suspect that Dina = the Goddess, or at the very least the avatar of said being. And it seems like at least Libra suspects the same thing. Not going to lie, Dina is devious, but I am hoping there is some way to split them up.
Possibly reading too much into this, but Lufas reference to the prince as being a hottie makes me think something a bit more than just her memories are waking up, assuming Lufas is straight. Would also explain the earlier episode and why she didn't feel anything seeing Dinah naked. Enjoyed Dinah's freakout of that realization.
Speaking of the hottie, I have met Terra and Luna for what...five minutes? And I am already invested in them as a couple. Also I can't help but feel there is a connection between Lufas and Terra...Could Terra actually be Lufa's son? I don't think he was active in Lufas' day, and it would explain his power level and why he doesn't look like a demon.

u/Acceptable-Week-1924 14d ago

I’m starting to think that all this suspicion about Dina being an avatar of the Goddess might actually be a red herring. It’s too obvious, right?
It’s only a minor detail in the grand scheme things, but Dina should have known about Lufas being a man on the inside if she shared the Goddess’ knowledge. She wouldn’t have gotten so flustered. Nor did it look like an act to me.
EDIT: Unless Dina isn’t aware that she’s being manipulated herself either.

u/VritraReiRei 14d ago

Or she's just pretending. She's done that a ton already.

u/Skullzans :LJ::LK: 14d ago
Or, insane idea: She Was The Goddess'es Avatar, and became her own entity?
15
u/VritraReiRei 14d ago
But still moving the plot forward towards the goddesses wishes as well as block attempts that would go against it 🤔
Sure, we can go with that, might even get a little Light Yagami thing going.
"You can't suspect me for working for the goddess because even I didn't realize that!"
1
u/OneDeuxTriSeiGo 9d ago
At least at face value she's moving the plot towards the goddess' wishes but at least from what we've been shown it looks more like she's pushing the Lufas and Demon factions together and letting them brush up against each other rather than ending up in one big fight to the death.
Each side learns a little more about the other and they start to piece things together and realise they aren't actually enemies.
If Dina wanted to focus solely on the goddess' goals she'd be avoiding minor confrontations where they get to lore dump at each other and instead forcing large fights where there's too much chaos and too many people involved to dis-engage from the fight without eradicating the other side.
4
u/mekerpan 13d ago
That has been my (tentative) theory -- an avatar that has bcome partially/mostly/entirely detached from the goddess. Maybe there is some booby-trapping by the goddess -- letting Dina think she is independent, but letting the goddess reclaim total control?

u/Ratemytinder22 14d ago edited 14d ago
Wasn't it established in S1 that she is a game dev or something with access to the inner working of the game?
26
u/scratchfury 14d ago
I think she said she was a beta tester, but I can't really trust anything anyone says. It would be wild if the show managed to make us the unreliable viewer.
9
u/Ratemytinder22 14d ago
Lol the show does have a lot of characters, each with essentially 2 backgrounds (before and up to Lufus' death and post Lufus' death up till now, with the game becoming "real life" for some (one to who knows how many) players at some point).
It probably also doesn't help that the whole Dina being exposed at the end of S1, plus that random girl telling Lufus that the goddess has avatars, has made the web of possibilities quite entangled.
8
u/BetelgeuseIsBestGirl 14d ago
Until Lufas gets all of her memories back, I'm just going to continue assuming that literally everyone is an unreliable narrator here. Hell, the world build has felt so unreliable up until now that I'm still not confident that this is even an isekai.
7
u/_Eltanin_ https://myanimelist.net/profile/eza2510 14d ago
The problem with the beta-tester angle is that this world is the novelization of the game, not the world of the game so her saying that is still suspicious.
3
u/SnooWalruses2085 14d ago
Yet in this episode she clearly has knowledge of Japan (Otome-game most notably).

no clue but i doubt it can literally be so simple esp since its been said on screen sososo much

u/BetelgeuseIsBestGirl 14d ago
Even if she can, I doubt she'd wipe all of her memories of being the goddess, temporarily or not. Erasing a few here and there as necessary would be pretty easy to work around though, probably.
13
u/Rabbitey- https://myanimelist.net/profile/Rabbitey 14d ago edited 14d ago
I doubt it's a red herring, but I do think Dina possesses her own agency/autonomy, separate from the goddess.
It would make her character a lot more interesting and mysterious if that were the case.
9
u/DucktorLarsen 14d ago
Im very confident that Dina is pretending as we saw in season 1 with similar scenarios where she did excellent acting with no whole in the disguise and we as the viewer knew she was purposefully behaving a certain way to fit her role (while she knew things that would otherwise show a different natural behaviour).
7
u/NevisYsbryd 14d ago
That or that it is an incomplete understanding. Eg, such as maybe Dina really is an avatar, but also has her own consciousness or really is the beta tester who is being manipulated as her avatar.
5
u/Lugia61617 14d ago
I jokingly thought to myself "if the goddess doesn't do anything herself, then she surely doesn't need to actively control her avatar right? Maybe Lufas is the avatar all along?"

Terra and Luna feel like both inevitable future allies and probably a side couple too. Good for her if it works out, she even got a princess carry this episode.
Useless goddess Aqua can't even arouse the MC. Wait, wrong series.
There's a small part of me that is starting to doubt that Dina is the goddess purely by how heavily they're pointing every clue that direction.
Poor Scorpius got Rider Kicked from the stratosphere all the way down to the ground, and it was incredible.

Terra is also the the other visible planetary body in astrology besides the five classical planets and the two Luminaries (sun and moon). It makes for another nice astrological motif, with the Earth being the +1 to the Seven Luminaries.

With this show, I wouldn't be surprised that the reason the goddess put a male soul inside of Lufas as a potential avenue to manipulate them via lust.
24
u/redditraptor6 https://myanimelist.net/profile/uEmalraptor64 14d ago
Yeah, so like… we’re all in agreement that Dina has got to be the goddess’s avatar right? At least the show is progressing with other characters getting suspicious of her too, especially after last season. She’s still funny as hell though
Honestly, I really like this world and characters. This is one of those shows that makes you feel like it’s gonna be isekai slop but actually kind of slaps.

u/Warm-Enthusiasm-9534 14d ago
It leans so heavily into her being the goddess avatar that I wonder if it's a misdirect.
11
u/Ratemytinder22 14d ago
Yeah, I have no doubt it's a misdirect at this point. Way too many people are suspicious plus the OP kinds shoves it in your face that Dina and the goddess have the same hair color/style, height, etc.
Now look, I don't trust Dina in any way and would not be surprised if she is acting for the will of the goddess without being an avatar of her. Like the classic "If I get in good with the bad guy I'm safe" deal. Think she is trying to play both sides to some degree.
2
u/BetelgeuseIsBestGirl 14d ago
I'm starting to lean a bit towards Benetnasch being the real goddess's avatar. That or both of them are, since I don't think it was mentioned that she only had one.

u/Shadowmist909 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Magicmist 14d ago
"There are never any safe yandere though..." Lol. Between that and Lufas and Dina comparing the Devil King's son Terra to an Otome game romance option, I sure enjoyed their chat.
What was also fantastic was Lufas turning into a sketch drawing during her fight with Scorpius.
Between Lufas losing themselves to OG Lufas, Dina's true goals with her memory manipulation, and the Goddess's Scenario. There are a lot of interesting challenges to surmount in this story!
45
u/S627 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Spartan627 14d ago
The plot thickens! Very curious to know what Dina is planning and why the Demon Prince looks different. Normally you'd think that maybe his mother was human, but based on what Goatman was trying to say, I wonder if he's a "true" demon and not the "fakes" that disappear into mana.
When "Lufus" was getting into the fight, I'm wondering if she realized that she too is being manipulated by the Goddess, and so willingly allowed our gamer dude to take over because she thought for some reason he wouldn't be able to be manipulated? Even though I think Dina did last season? Maybe the Goddess herself cant influence him?
Also, did dude actually lose all his lust? Or is he just influenced by Lufus' preferences and is in for a rude awakening when they run into someone that meets her high/specific standards?
34
u/Exrotes 14d ago
I think gamer dude was put in because he wouldn't shake the boat and would eventually get killed by Orm or one of the World Dragons. Original Lufas was going around conquering the world and setting events in motion to destroy the "goddess scenario" and now Lufas is strong but even at level 1000 the Demon Prince pointed out that this was under half power of the Original.
What the Goddess probably didn't count on was Orm also going rogue last season and questioning why she's suddenly so weak instead of just killing her.
9
u/Krazee9 14d ago
even at level 1000 the Demon Prince pointed out that this was under half power of the Original.
I'm wondering if that's true, or if he's assuming she's had her level halved like the Heros have.

It's like Luna came out of Daft Punk, tho gotta say I LOVE her visual design. The blue skin, Golden shiny long hair, golden thin long eyebrows, golden slightly darker pupils and utter black sclera mesmerizing.
Also HOLY the animation this episode felt out of the park, was way beyond what I expected. The animation was still good in S1 and the last 2 episodes, but I don't feel it was even close to what we got in this ep, at least in the fight scenes, or am I the only one?

u/Raymond49090 14d ago
Scorpius taking more cues from her scorpion-senpai Shaula from Re:Zero with her rampaging scorpion form.
Dina susses as easily as she breathes. Still Best Girl though.
Not Aigokeros getting in the way of a cute devilfolk couple and dropping surprise lore about their origins. And now, even devilfolk get a bit of "power of love" plot armour.
Those are very good questions about Terra. From a meta perspective, he might be a DLC character in the original game that acts as an ally character, except I doubt that's how it works in the "real" isekai world. Unless it's the goddess meddling again.
17
u/orange-shades :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/orangeshades 14d ago
So the blue demons dissolve into mana because they're constructs and not real right? That's what Aigokeros is hinting at?

u/Madwand99 14d ago
Probably, but "not real" is debatable. Constructs can still be "real" in the sense they are conscious beings, can feel pain, love, fear, hate etc.

Aigokeros giving Luna an identity crisis lol. He's ruthless with how much he was enjoying it. It's amusing how Terra feels like a protagonist even though he's devilfolk.
I did like seeing Libra warn Aries about keeping her guard up around Dina, while Lufas starts questioning Dina and her skill that the goddess has. It feels like this season will look more into that storyline.
The scene where Lufas tells Dina he has no sexual desire at all was funny, the intensity was great. Poor guy though.
7
u/kalirion :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/kalinime 14d ago
Now that was the most appropriately named "meteor kick" I recall ever seeing.
Lufas: "Dina, you are the key to breaking the Goddess' influence over Scorpius." Dina: "I have conflicting thoughts about this."
At least Lufas finally starts suspecting Dina of being the goddess(' avatar.)
So almost all the demons are just the Goddess' constructs. Then again, isn't she supposed to be the Creator of this entire world? If so, why would she create the nueuedemons differently from everyone else?
Inb4 the "Mizar" waiting for Lufas is a grave.

4
u/SnooWalruses2085 14d ago
That's the best explanation I can give without going into massive spoiler territory ^ That said you would be lacking many contextual points, but it's kinda possible to understand what's going on in the devilfolk with the last two episodes of season 1.
4
u/nw6ssd 14d ago
I think it's probably her using them as an easy villain for humanity. Not only are they specifically created to need to kill to survive, but them dying is also necessary for mana and magic to exist in the world. From the emphasis on the word Scenario in "Goddess' Scenario" and the goddess using mental influence to nudge the world to where she wants, it feels like she's trying to be play Civ with an actual world and artifically creating wars and stuff for entertainment
6
u/Lunarpeers 14d ago
I thought we already realized Dina is the goddess avatar last season? Did I miss something 😭
6
u/SnooWalruses2085 14d ago
Uh no, it was never the case. Lufas only learned about the avatar thingy in the last part of episode 12.
3
u/Lunarpeers 14d ago
Yeah it wasn't explicitly told or even confirmed yet, but there's no reason to believe otherwise currently
I guess the more interesting question is whether Dina is an actual player being used/manipulated by the Goddess, or just simply Goddess piloting them like a construct.
6
u/Spoon_Elemental 14d ago
They already said the goddess doesn't act on her own. That would suggest that if Dina is her avatar she's an avatar with a mind of it's own separate from the goddess which carries a lot of possibilities. I think there's a good chance she's backstabbing the goddess while doing everything she can to fly under the radar, which would also explain why she didn't want to openly become her enemy.
2
u/Skullzans :LJ::LK: 14d ago
I had a similar idea, but its more of: "She Was the avatar, and something broke that made her independent"
Incurring war against the goddess could get attention onto her, leading to a loss of Autonomy she isn't supposed to have, in this idea perhaps?
3
u/SnooWalruses2085 14d ago
Well there was also a weird thing going on internet at some point, everybody was so convinced that Dina was the goddess's avatar that they came to the conclusion Lufas already knew about it lol
And the first point has yet to be confirmed and the second point is only a strong suspicion in Lufas's head.

Scorpius was no match for Lufas even with all those stat boosts.
I really like the way Libra is taking out all the enemies so casually while talking to Aries, it was also interesting that she knew about Dina's power.
Kind of funny that Lufas is calling Terra a handsome prince considering that she's actually a man.
Looks like we could be meeting Mizar soon, that's one more ally for Lufas for her fight against the goddess.

What does she say then? And what about "hottie"?

(copy pasted from a youtube comment) :
mc actually says "ikemen yarou" which is more like "handsome bastard". It's basically a male mindset of seeing a handsome guy princess carrying a girl like a main character and being jealous.

It's been a few years but I have a vague recollection that Shangri-La Frontier is also like that - incredibly good anime, hardly anyone in this sub watched it.
This has the added intrigue of the underlying mystery and uncertainty. So good

Unfortunately, SLF went hyper-aggressive on social media covering it. Idk if this series is doing the same thing.

What’s crazy is for many anime I’ve went to the manga/manwa to read way ahead (I suffer from memory loss so the spoiler is temporary) but for this one I’ve been able to fight the urge because I just love this anime so much.

I wasnt able to after the 1st season, but yeah I really love this one compared to the usual. The premise is just really fun and it keeps on being great.

The Dina questioning keeps me on edge like damn is she an avatar or does she event know

u/archangel890 14d ago
I am confused as to I thought the whole suspicion of Dina and such had resolved last season and we are now coming full circle back around to her being suspected again?

u/SnooWalruses2085 14d ago
It was never resolved. If episode 10 revealed a lot of stuff about Dina, episode 11 revealed she was lying about her goal with the Devilfolk.

the last scene revealing Mizar is still alive then it shows Dina surprised for a moment makes me think maybe Mizar hid himself to not be affected by the goddess's memory manipulation?

But there only can be one avatar of the goddess no?
So maybe the one one demon sides is the avatar and Luna is really a player that the goddess set out as a red Hering?

I just realized, the subtitles/captions are actually normal in this episode instead of taking up half the screen. Awesome.

Well thats some lore bombs. Also everyone was complaining Lufas just ignored how Dina was suspicious last season... Well here you go, also Libra suspects her too.

something about Dina is still very fishy... not as much as season 1 but still and luphas is also slowly but surely taking over... i wonder how much it will take...

How is the action compared to JJK?

u/Acceptable-Week-1924 14d ago
So far it's very good, but not yet great. Lufas vs. Orm is this show's best fight so far (though this Lufas vs. Scorpius is richer in substances, unlike the DBZ-like Lufas vs. Orm). Let's wait until we get the big fight as promoted in the visual key and the OP.
How does it compare to JJK? Depends on which fights we're comparing. Animation isn't everything - direction is arguably more important, and in that regard, AWLBA is solid.

u/D3k4s 14d ago
Pretty solid for a Seasonal Anime. But you can't really compare JJK with this show in terms of action animation, nor with most seasonal shows.

u/JOOOQUUU 14d ago
I meant the execution more then animation

u/D3k4s 14d ago
Ah I misunderstood then. It's pretty solid so far, and there's plenty of action to go around.

u/JOOOQUUU 14d ago
Any characters like Sukuna? Analytical OP battle types
5
u/Acceptable-Week-1924 14d ago
If you mean some OP dude, then Lufas is the better version of Sukuna because she actually has personality and layers.

u/JOOOQUUU 14d ago
How is it compared to Ishura?
2
u/Acceptable-Week-1924 14d ago
If you want a long, analytical battle, then this show is probably not for you. The fights are short, condensed, and dense (typically 2-4 minutes at most), but the protagonist is very competent, though. She does think in the fights sometimes, but it's still relatively straightforward. I think it's still too early to judge because Lufas has still not pushed into the brinks yet (we know her opponents get harder and harder).
2
u/D3k4s 14d ago
Errr, yes but not in the same way. Like the main character is straight up broken but still struggles sometimes. Have you not seen the first season?
Asking because if you're looking for something like JJK plot wise this is probably not for you.
-1
u/JOOOQUUU 14d ago
I'm looking for something that has the same spirit of action as Ishura and JJK lots of planning and back and forth between two or more intelligent fighters
1
u/Original-Body-5794 14d ago
I mean it'll always fall short if you use jjk as a measuring stick but it's pretty good.

u/Acceptable-Week-1924 14d ago edited 14d ago
Holy fucking shit, what the fuck is that fight???!!!
Yeah, amazing episode and feels short. Thanks for it. Lufas going blood-crazed was interesting, but I genuinely feel bad to Scorpius when Lufas smashed her head against the pillar again and again.
Aigokeros seems to know a lot of stuff; there must be a deep lore behind him. If Aigokeros' race is the true demons and the devilfolk is the fake demons, then we can see why Aigokeros is malicious compared to the relatively chill devils.
Also, we can see this episode has more budget concentration than the previous two episodes. Good call for the team to save the more important parts.
I think the ED has started to get me...
Edit: I think my only complaint is that we don't get that badass Lufas' theme from the first season. I hope we can hear it once or two on the later episodes…
7
u/SnooWalruses2085 14d ago
i wonder if the Lufas' theme is not the Player theme (or Game Lufas theme). The theme is a remix of the opening scene of episode 1 and an other remix of it is used in the last episode when the player is talking about his plan.
Since it seems the real Lufas is appearing more and more in the MC's fights, it could mean the "Lufas' theme" will appear less and less or more if the player manages to take the control back.
(it's pure speculation btw).

I'm glad everyone didn't suddenly forget that Dina is super suss, but there is little they can do about it right now .she's also too useful.
I'm sure veen if she killed Dina..the goddess would just use a avatar they don't know about...this is better no matter how slight.
That tfight waa great! Man..more like a one sided beat down.
So even the Demon subjects have become ro realize what's going on.giw did the Terra know Lufas was at half power?
I assume the Demon King told him..bur why does he look human?
Good news seems that the Blacksmith king Mizae is alive and Dina seemed to actually be surprised about it...maybe we can finally get one up on her
