You watch enough of these things, and you're always looking out for new gimmicks. It's a surprise when this one is so simple, yet I never thought of it before. Negative alignment, so everything just integer underflows, or something like that.

Of course, the real reason I'm staying is because of the funny names, I appreciate that. *And cute girls too.*

mekerpan2026-01-08 17:36

This one is close to a keeper already. Nott quite sure why, but I just like this more than most of the similar things floating around this season.

I want to see what our heroine can achieve by unleashing the power of dividing by zero.... ;-)

fractal_magnets2026-01-08 17:38

This was done in the fruit of evolution when Seiichi flipped Artoria's luck stat.

Nachtwandler_FS2026-01-08 17:43

It's a reversal, not overflow. She reverses item/spell effetcs:

Like was shown here, instead of debuffing her stats and melting her flash the sword buffed her stats for the same values and regenerated her wounds.

Like her gimmick is not even that OP. Yes, cursed items probably have stronger negative effects than similar normal ones have positives, but she has to specifically rely on them as she cannot just train to become stronger. And I don't think you can find cursed items just lying on the ground.

IceWeaselX2026-01-08 19:29

I wonder if the reversal also applies to heals and buffs, like how healing items in some RPGs destroy undead.

That would be an easy (although obvious) way to pull the big dramatic tide turn in a fight against her old party. She could be dominating, while they think she's turned traitor because nobody had a chance to hear the full story. When they find out her power is a result of reversal, they buff and weaken her. Still in fight mode, nobody calmly talks it through and Jean pushes for a kill.

Nachtwandler_FS2026-01-08 21:23

Answering this question will be spoilers. Let's just say it will be addressed.

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-08 19:40

> I don't think you can find cursed items just lying on the ground.

When they're bad for you, you find one of them in every other treasure chest, but now that she needs them they'll be nowhere to be found

[](#elsieqq)

KnightKal2026-01-08 20:05

in the other hand they should be cheaper or easier than getting epic/legendary items lol, as she is a rare case that can actually use them

BosuW2026-01-08 21:19

I'd more expect shit like that to be locked up by fantasy SCP

Nachtwandler_FS2026-01-08 21:25

I do not think anyone but scammers will try to sell them. Like who in the sane mind will need a thing? Slaver this episode literally said he only got the cursed sword because someone tried to sell it as an epic item.

KnightKal2026-01-08 21:31

collectors, rich people, adventurers that found them on some ruins, etc

the sword was an extreme example as it instantly kills the user. It shouldn't be taken as the general rule for a cursed item. Stuff that simple makes you weaker (reduces some stats)

and if there is a vault somewhere with trash cursed items? She can just steal it :D

Falsus2026-01-09 01:35

On the other hand since they are useless to everyone but Flum (and sadists) they are probably not sold in any legit stores and is probably not cheap.

kalirion2026-01-09 00:38

> the sword buffed her stats for the same values

Which means she now has 995 stats across the board. But is that high or just average? Hopefully we'll find out.

PrizeStrawberryOil2026-01-09 02:10

High enough to carry a massive 2 handed sword around with 1 hand.

darthvall2026-01-09 01:49

I wonder if heal would have hurt her, for example, and blessed weapon would also have reversed effect.

Aerodynamic412026-01-08 17:20

Hey, a [title drop](https://imgur.com/a/XvQZ9MQ) in the very first episode!

Nachtwandler_FS2026-01-08 17:41

> title drop

Twice actually. When duchebag mage was holding Flum to the wall he said the Japanese title.

duo99dusk2026-01-08 18:07

Omaigoto!

BosuW2026-01-08 21:17

Its say gex!

Santedtra2026-01-08 18:09

Speaking of the title, I saw the contracted version of it is OmaGoto and my rotted brain can't help but hear a certain Momoi or Belle.

marcostadeusc2026-01-08 17:22

Another banished from hero party? But it's nice to see a woman instead of a man as a protagonist

mekerpan2026-01-08 17:39

It looks like Jean (rather like his counterpart in Red and Rit), has stage-managed the expulsion in order to get unfettered access to the hero(ine) of the party. None of the others were consulted -- and Cyril was lied to. It is clear that none of them had any hint that Jean sold her into slavery (for a big private profit).

marcostadeusc2026-01-08 18:15

Wym unfettered access to hero(ine)? Is it like a spoiler or smth?

mekerpan2026-01-08 18:26

Well the hero is a girl -- so she is (in a manner) of speaking also a heroine

Jegantha2026-01-08 23:38

He said that the whole reason he sold Flum was because Cyril liked her, and Jean wanted Cyril all to himself.

Falsus2026-01-09 01:41

He pretty much said as much when they where camping and after he lied about Flum's departure. He said:

''Now that the distraction is... you'll rightfully be mine. You, a born hero, and me, a sage. Gifted people such as us are meant to be together.''

So yeah to me it seems that his main reason for selling off Flum was because he was jealous rather than how ''useless'' Flum was.

Purposelygentle2026-01-08 17:41

The funny thing is they changed the title for the English version, the Japanese title has literally a Banished From the Hero’s Party in it.

NoNameSwitzerland2026-01-08 20:45

"Banished From the Hero’s Party" counts just as one token for modern AI.

Niijima-San2026-01-08 17:26

if this gets dubbed i will def watch it just bc of the redonk name (that crunchyroll decided to shorten lol)

Hitman71282026-01-08 17:27

OP reminds me of Watamote’s in the heavy metal vibe.

Poor Flum gets repeatedly called trash and treated as such. First half of the episode was not easy to watch with the gore and torture.

But it was justice when Flum got her power back and killed her hideous captor. Would have been better if she bludgeoned him extra for good measure.

Looks like Flum’s affinity is like Pokemon’s Contrary ability.

That handholding in the ED

Tomorrow_Big2026-01-08 18:07

> Looks like Flum’s affinity is like Pokemon’s Contrary ability.

Blessed with the power of UNO Reverse.

NoNameSwitzerland2026-01-08 20:37

Does that mean the state pays her taxes?!

zairaner2026-01-08 18:32

> That handholding in the ED

Didn't find it in the ED yet, but the [handholding in the episode itself](https://imgur.com/VUw3zEC) was certainly enough to tell us what kind of anime it is.

Hitman71282026-01-08 18:36

Yuri

(Hitman's favorite)

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-08 19:32

*"Master!"*

Yuri femdom?

[](#towel)

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-08 19:34

Don't know why she needs money with this ability; She should just try to get buried in debt, surely that would reverse her into a billionaire!

[](#shutupandtakemymoney)

EffectiveImportant512026-01-09 11:07

I mean she probably ahould just go to a casino and keep making the dumbest bets and let her reversal ability make it the best bet.

But i wonder if it only works on stats? And if then the smartest thing would have been to loot the slave traders body or wherever he was and whatever money or stuff you find sell and get all the cursed items you can find.

Magnafeana2026-01-08 17:29

I did not anticipate I would start headbanging this early in the morning.

Anyway, 📢let’s go lesbians!!📢💃🏾🏳️‍🌈

Calling someke trash while you have all that bullshit coming out ya mouth, okay.

>Pay for your sins and just **roll over and die**

🫵🏾😮

That was an immaculate hand touching/handholding scene.

I don’t understand. I’m watching the sub. You mean to tell me there is no text overlays when watching the damn sub?

Oh. So we get the sparse “Netflix” overlay. Great.

He was monologuing *aloud* and no one heard his creepshit? Damn. I had thought it was internal.

That was a Shadis jumpscare, good lord.

Well Ms Receptionist, if you’re so worried and care about those two precious lives, maybe give them an actual job request 😒

***

I am always excited for yuri adaptations. The OP was a headbanger. Did not expect metalcore, but I am all for it!

mekerpan2026-01-08 17:42

The receptionist was afraid the two could not even handle an F rank task. She obviously felt unable to over-rule Dein's stunt. I certainly hope the two girls can find some sort of actual friends and supporters.

Magnafeana2026-01-08 18:39

When Dein picked out that job and ***he*** stamped it F, ***that’s*** when she became hesitant, but she still doesn’t do anything. And *then* the regret and guilt set in once they left.

And him stamping it as F is bizarre when most of the guild fantasy stuff I interact with, the jobs are already reviewed for class status and any members are aware of the class when they review available jobs. The job requests are normally stamped for approval rather than for class status, and you need to be admin in some way.

What a funky bureaucratic process to stamp a class only after it’s been picked out and non-admin can do that! What SOP allows this?!

This is how I remember how rule-inconsistency fucks me up and causes me lack of sleep and function. I’d be a *terrible* fantasy artist.

I wouldn’t blame a receptionist for not giving jobs to people they don’t know. That feels like good protocol ✅

She’s hypocritical with her words and actions, I’d say, not working off fear. I’m sure her cruelty is viewed in her perspective as some semblance of kindness. But hearing that her about the loss of two precious lives is a “Girl ✋🏾😒” moment.

But she let em go along with Dein’s nonsense, she feels regret for that, now it’s a matter of what she’ll do next.

Dein and his cronies can roll over and go to HR 😤

Which, in some ways, can be worse than death.

mekerpan2026-01-08 19:16

Perhaps the request had just come in and not yet been officially rated?

I am hoping that the receptionist will wind up an ally of sorts.

IceWeaselX2026-01-08 19:21

>And him stamping it as F is bizarre when most of the guild fantasy stuff I interact with, the jobs are already reviewed for class status and any members are aware of the class when they review available jobs.

>What a funky bureaucratic process to stamp a class only after it’s been picked out and non-admin can do that! What SOP allows this?!

The scene where he and the other adventurers are laughing about it is narrated to say he colluded with the guild to gain status. So he's got clout with guild leadership and gets to break rules, because they know he's a criminal, but is beneficial to them. It's not SOP at all. He's just able to get away with it.

Se7en_Sinner2026-01-08 17:30

You can tell this is an edgy anime because every single man is a rapist.

mekerpan2026-01-08 17:43

Dein isn't necessarily a rapist -- just a piece of scum. Sening the two off to be killed for shits and giggles.

zairaner2026-01-08 18:35

Uhm the slaver was certainly not... a great example of a human being in any way, but there's no indication he was a rapist in what we have seen here.

On the contrary, we even had a scene of a woman begging him that she "will do anything he wants" and he just killed her.

BosuW2026-01-08 21:23

Maybe he's not single 🤔

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-08 21:28

Are we just going to ignore the men in the hero party who treated Flum nicely?

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-08 22:12

Except Jean😡

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-08 22:31

"who treated Flum nicely"

AlphaBreak2026-01-09 00:31

He's a piece of shit, but not a rapist (so far)

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-08 17:33

This was a pretty fun premiere. Had the classic “expelled from Hero’s party” set up complete with a shitty glasses wearing “Hero” (they’re the worst type lol) and a “useless” OP ability. Very nice. Not hating, I do enjoy those.

I look forward to seeing Flum show this world she ain’t gonna take the abuse no more.

mekerpan2026-01-08 17:44

Jean wasn't the "Hero" -- he was a mere mage LUSTING after the Hero.

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-08 17:45

I think they’re all technically “Hero’s” in this instance as they seemed to have been chosen by the divine to defeat the demon lord. Like Flum was a hero too.

mekerpan2026-01-08 17:47

They are all chosen to be part of the "Heros Party" -- but I think Cyril is the Hero (and nominal leader) of the Hero's party -- if ya know what I mean.... ;-)

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-08 17:50

Ah ok, yeah I see what you mean there. The party dynamic feels a little like that Banished from the Hero’s Party one where the Hero was the MC’s sister. Iirc that one also had a meddling mage type that seemed to have been manipulating things.

mekerpan2026-01-08 17:56

Yes - VERY like the dynamic in Red & Rit. But at least the mage there was not a thief (or would it be embezzler) as well. like the one here (surely he should have shared the immense sales price he got for Flum with the rest of the party, right).

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-08 18:00

Yeah, this one’s definitely a lot shadier. Dude was definitely power trippin when he announced Flum “left.”

I hope we get a confrontation this season. I’m sure it’ll be very satisfying seeing him get his comeuppance.

Nachtwandler_FS2026-01-08 18:17

To be fair, he could not tell them he sold her to slavery.

mekerpan2026-01-08 18:28

But he is, in fact, stealing assets of the Party. ;-)

Nachtwandler_FS2026-01-08 18:31

Because he wanted to steal different "assets" but feared FMC will do it first.

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-08 19:42

Well they did call her "Hero Flum" early on!

There may be a "HERO hero" but from the subs at least they're all heroes!

thisisdropd2026-01-08 17:36

Pretty much everyone's an arsehole in this world apart from the two protagonists. Jean's by far the worst but hardly any are decent. Ylla's the least offensive with her being neutral. Granted, Jean lied to the rest of his party and we so far have no idea about their actual thoughts about her.

That is one unusual affinity. Reckon that's why she was chosen to be a hero though one question remains, which is why she wasn't told of how her affinity could be useful.

Nachtwandler_FS2026-01-08 17:48

It seems most of the heroes' party are not arseholes, they just got tricked by Jean, who was jealous Flum will steal his waifu.

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-08 19:46

> Jean's by far the worst but hardly any are decent. Ylla's the least offensive with her being neutral. Granted, Jean lied to the rest of his party and we so far have no idea about their actual thoughts about her.

Well, from what we know, the only thing the others did was "Agreeing to send a weak adventurer back home". That's not evil, that's not even "wrong", it's just normal!

Myredditaccount02026-01-08 17:36

Dang the ED is just one picture. Guess they ran out of budget.

zairaner2026-01-08 18:23

I think you should keep watching before commenting.

There are at least two pictures!

8andahalfby112026-01-08 20:07

TBH the whole episode except the handhold shot felt like they'd ran out of budget.

Komi0282026-01-08 22:14

darthvall2026-01-09 01:51

It's also common to have black screen with only running credit too for the first episode in several anime

BBSNYPUR2026-01-08 17:36

Can't remember the last time the MC of the kicked out of the hero's party was a girl.

Usually they were all guys.

She has all zero stats, except for reversal. So in one way she like Krai, but without the insanely good luck.

BosuW2026-01-08 21:24

> Can't remember the last time the MC of the kicked out of the hero's party was a girl.

I don't watch all of these... in fact I watch almost none of these, but as far as I remember this is a first

SopmodTew2026-01-08 22:29

Which is why it's kinda different enough to be entertaining

TheSmexhy2026-01-08 22:28

If all she was is kicked out this could be wholesome fantasy series…jk not in that world anyway

wenasi2026-01-09 00:16

My heuristic for Isekai is "if it's got a female protag, it's probably at least decent", because it's far less likely to be a generic power fantasy.

I hope that holds for these kinds (tsuihou? is there a name for this "genre"?) of anime as well

iozoepxndx2026-01-08 17:53

HUGE fan whatever that opening song is 🔥🔥🔥

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-08 22:15

Shaking my head during the opening

darthvall2026-01-09 01:47

Honestly thought this is going to be a parody or at least have semi-comedy based on the title and the opening.

However, it turned to be fully dark throughout

SpiritualFold42752026-01-08 17:55

Sub mid af. so tired of shows where scumbags don't get punished as much as the mc and the Mc is weirdly brain dead. so tiring and so abundant

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-08 19:26

> tired of shows where scumbags don't get punished

I can't believe she didn't kill her entire party and everyone responsible for what they did to her.

This series is 1 episode long, so that's just how it ends I guess?

SpiritualFold42752026-01-08 17:57

Ep Basically solid 10mins of the main girl sucking a dk. u know the hero parties combined comeuppance won't even be that much screen time.

ModieOfTheEast2026-01-08 17:58

Mmh, I expected a bit more from the trailers. I will stay for a few episodes more, but it just feels like the same thing I've seen before (we don't even have a clear goal similar to most of these shows other than getting by now), just with a female protagonist, so nearly everyone is making sexual remarks I guess. Honestly, with the theme being "reverse" I would have actually liked if the main gimmick was that she would get a number of good looking dudes in her party over time, but it seems they are still going the cute girl route.

SpiritualFold42752026-01-08 18:04

Actually too annoying how braindead this mc is just take ur fkn sword out and hack until people act right ffs. Oh no wait ur writer too useless

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-08 19:30

> just take ur fkn sword out and hack until people act right ffs

She killed the ghouls and the slaver.

Who else do you think she should have hacked with her sword in this episode? The guild receptionist who was rude to her?

The guy on the street who lightly bumped into her?

Clemastina2026-01-08 18:07

Damn, I think I hate all men in this anime, I hope they... roll over and die

And of course Miku Ito is in a yuri anime.

ChapinThrowaway2026-01-08 18:53

The other 2 guys in the hero party seemed fine from the little we saw them. Hopefully they help her out later on once they realize she did not leave of her own accord.

But yeah everyone else sucked.

TheSmexhy2026-01-08 22:26

Somehow I kind of hate everyone besides the 2 main girls. Might get better with more episodes.

abandoned_idol2026-01-09 05:12

You dropped your sunglasses.

NekoCatSidhe2026-01-08 18:08

This is absurdly edgy grimdark in a way that came across as rather unbelievable, but that is the only thing that was standing out for me in that show, because otherwise it is just your standard “Kicked Out of the Hero Party” trope. I don’t think that I will keep watching it.

HuTaosTwinTails2026-01-08 18:17

It is not the standard as someone who has read the light novel.

AceSoldia2026-01-08 18:11

I don't understand how she was chosen for the heros party with no stats

No-You-92272026-01-08 18:25

She basically having ability to make "Debuff" into "Buff", image if she actually learn to use it then make enemy's "Buff" into "Debuff" or tank a ton off "Debuff" and turn them into "Buff". If she learn to use it then she will be busted af. Like using the Cursed Sword making her stronger, so she just have to find item like that then I have no doubt she will be OP.

NoNameSwitzerland2026-01-08 20:44

And if the demon king uses cursed debuffs, she will be the perfect one to fight him.

Nachtwandler_FS2026-01-08 19:14

It was the God of Origin the local church worships who chose all of the party members.

AceSoldia2026-01-08 19:17

Ah so they accept the choice but then overruled it later. Okay

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-08 19:45

Seems to be a god/ritual thing that picked her!

(Also, she IS powerful but she simply didn't know it. Her stats simply work differently. To put it this way: It's as if she had an ability that deals 1 billion damage when her stats are low. But she doesn't know how to use it so she just has her low stats).

KnightKal2026-01-08 20:07

the usual template. They are heroes because they were blessed with a cheat skill. Hers is "reversal". She (they) just didnt know how to use it.

we saw in the episode the church people saying they were chosen by the god/goddess, and that the MC was from a remote village

NationalStrategy2026-01-08 18:19

The sage guy reminds me of Ares from **Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside**

Shmappii2026-01-08 19:02

It would be too funny if she completes her mission without any problems and returns extremely grateful for Dein.

EffectiveImportant512026-01-09 11:10

I also don't get how you got betrayed and sold into slavery and you believe the first dude at a guild that was drinking with all the terrible dudes. This is after 4 dudes tried to treat you like trash on the street.

Why is she still gullible?

Elvenoob2026-01-10 04:22

Not so much gullible as desperate enough to take anything that looks like kindness regardless of the intentions behind it.

(She's also in enough of a state that she can't pick up on the seemingly harsh suggestion from the lady behind the counter coming from a place of genuine concern either.)

AnimeWatcher12026-01-08 19:23

Roll Over and Die! Now I know where the short title came from!

But the funny thing is that Flum didn’t roll over and die, but chose to go down fighting but as it turns out her affinity saved in the end which got her in this mess to begin with.

Normally this kind of premise with being in the Hero’s Party would have me rolling my eyes, but when I saw a girl such as Flum’s design in the anime announcement, I see a girl of determination and that’s what got my eyes on this anime for months before today.

I didn’t expect an intense opening, but it’s getting my blood pumping, and I imagine it as Flum’s fighting spirit in this cruel world.

I like that Flum didn’t leave behind the bandaged girl, but chose to accept being treated as her master in order to take her along. Thankfully so far, Flum doesn’t treat the bandaged girl any differently from a normal person since Flum herself is branded as a slave as well.

I like Flum’s optimism despite how she was treated, it makes her a really likable protagonist for me.

It’s cool that we got a little world building about Districts of this City and the Church in the first episode.

This Dein guy is shifty but what matters is he gave Flum a chance to get a ranking as an adventurer and I’m rooting for Flum to get her desired role in the Adventurers Guild because she and the bandaged girl really needs the money to survive.

animepig2026-01-08 19:44

Finally a kicked out of party story I can get behind! It’s always tame when they kick the MC out in the beginning.

But here it’s actually brutal, *straight to slavery* damn.

Yesshua2026-01-08 19:53

I dunno. I wanted to like this based on the premise. But nothing about the art is memorable, nobody but the main character got any real characterization, and god it's just trying so so hard to be edgy.

Like, it's our cute smol girl and a world full of shitty dudes who are gonna screw her over and then she's gonna kill them. I see the vision. But it's such bland execution. Maybe when bandage girl gets actual character development things will become interesting because there will be a buddy cop or romance dynamic? But no signs of that yet.

blacksmithwolf2026-01-08 19:53

Make way for the second best blue haired maid in anime

oedipusrex3762026-01-08 19:53

That Jean guy is funny. He just doing all that to simp for Cyrill.

m3m3y_2026-01-08 19:55

Kicked from party slop but I’ll watch for the yuri

8andahalfby112026-01-08 20:04

I liked the manga and really wanted to like this, but it feels like they lost the Director/Composition lottery with this one. Pacing was jittery and dialogue heavy. I really hope they can course-correct in the next few episodes, and that this was just a rush to get the startup sequence out of the way.

DocMcCoy2026-01-08 20:13

The OP goes hard

But oof, that's a world filled with only arseholes?

Etiennera2026-01-08 20:16

I'm just happy we get another dark fantasy where it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

No_Macaroon_74132026-01-08 23:04

Receptionist telling them they’d be better off spreading their legs, I was like damn don’t sugar coat it.

CommanderZx22026-01-08 20:18

It's a little too on the nose regarding bad characters being bad, they could have left the thing about the A rank adventure as a mystery whether he is good or bad until next episode when they reached the quest destination instead of bluntly stating it and then even going on to explain his backstory as to how bad he is.

Nachtwandler_FS2026-01-08 23:51

Ljke he is on thr poster opposite Jean and with the same evil grin.

UsaraDark20142026-01-09 04:04

Yeah it's a little too black and white. I'll probably give it a few more episodes to see if we get more character development. But with what we've been given so far, I speculate it's going to be very plot heavy and rushed.

What I found more baffling is how naive Flum is. She seems quick to learn things, but somehow along the way she didn't learn not to always trust people? That the guild can have bad people? Just how sheltered of a life did she live up until now?

Luck_Is_My_Talent2026-01-09 05:10

I think you should give it at least 3 chapters. The real dangerous antagonists starts to appear a bit later.

LeonKevlar2026-01-08 20:35

Ooooh! It looks like we have another [banished from the hero's party anime](https://i.imgur.com/myGbblt.jpeg), except this time the party member that got kicked out [is a girl.](https://i.imgur.com/r3gHVBf.jpeg) That's definitely something I haven't seen before.

[What's even more interesting is that only one member of the heroes party is a scumbag](https://i.imgur.com/cagSm2h.jpeg) The hero herself actually [regrets kicking out Flum from their party](https://i.imgur.com/bBYHb4v.jpeg), believing that it's for her own good.

And while this also has [the MC taking in a slave trope.](https://i.imgur.com/hRdDPO8.jpeg) This is actually one of the better ones I've seen since the MC herself is also a slave, so it makes sense for her to escape with the only slave left.

Alright, I'll bite. I'll give this one three episodes and see where it goes.

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-08 22:14

Also the one kicking out said person wasn’t blonde here

-whiteroom-2026-01-09 01:47

And also, they actually had zero stats and were a burden.

Where as in most of the "kicked from the party" shows they are obviously the most capable.

The_Parsee_Man2026-01-09 01:51

Instead he was the sage that wanted to get with the female hero who wasn't kicked out and did it without anyone's knowledge. So exactly the scenario from Banished From The Hero's Party, I Decided To Live A Quiet Life In The Countryside.

Narvalis2026-01-09 02:41

I was thinking the exact same thing, a sage kicks someone from the hero's party by his own decision in order to get closer to the female hero, except this guy went the extra mile with slavery.

pandavova2026-01-08 20:48

I was soooo disappointed when I saw the ED and her cut hair.

I don't even know who that is anymore. Was there even a girl there? Huh? Who is Rem?

YdenMkII2026-01-08 20:50

Ahh stat reversal. It's always fun when games give you options to do that and you build a run around picking up cursed items for the payoff of when you finally get the ability to reverse.

i_reddit_too_mcuh2026-01-09 06:52

If I understand correctly, since - (0 - 995) = 995, all her stats are 995 now? I wonder if she gets heal and the stats while the sword is stowed away.

rasifiel2026-01-09 15:07

Subtitle only translated summary line. It is -995 as a sum of stat changes.

MayonakaMadaraka2026-01-08 20:50

For some reason I can’t get enough of these *revenge of the betrayed* themes. Bring it on.

majideitteru2026-01-08 21:03

I will watch every single one of these Banished from Hero's Party anime.

I think they drugged me or something, I'm addicted.

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-08 22:17

But here it’s a female who was banished instead of a male

yuriAngyo2026-01-08 23:23

Being banished from the hero's party isn't a gender locked event

AlphaBreak2026-01-09 00:28

And at least this time, she was actually kind of useless and wasn't just an under appreciated combat god. If he just didn't sell her into slavery, they would have been completely justified in kicking her out.

darthvall2026-01-09 01:45

And tbh I was surprised it's only 1 guy who antagonised her despite her being completely useless other than for cooking

Raymond490902026-01-09 03:23

It's a Hero's Party where they actually (mostly) have characters fitting for a "Hero". Guess the "Origin" just let one dirtbag slip past the cracks.

(And forgot an instruction manual for one of them - Like, if they can name an ability "Reversal", they could've made it a bit more descriptive)

Sarellion2026-01-09 13:01

An army eh a hero's party doesn't march on an empty stomach.

Eckish2026-01-10 19:42

It also seems like his actual motive was less about the being "trash" aspect and more about getting with that other hero girl that Flum was besties with.

itsconsolefreaked2026-01-08 21:06

See you all next week

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-08 21:26

At least this is a new arrangement to the banished from the hero party genre lol. How down bad is the guy that he sells a member of the hero party as a slave?! Finding out his motivation was to get with Cyrill had me surprised, he lied to Flum, Cyrill and the rest of the party.

I'm not really feeling this at the moment, there are some interesting parts about it. But with how packed this season is, it's not really a priority to me.

gnome-cop2026-01-08 21:44

I’ve been aware of this series for a while but have been avoiding it, partly because the anime was coming and partly because I’ve seen this described as “yuri but set in a world approaching Berserk levels of fucked.” No excuses anymore, let’s do this.

Fantastic, we’re starting in prison with a bunch of monsters, a sword that kills everyone that touches it and a guy who clearly missed his calling to star in ugly bastard NTR hentai. The situation cannot get any better.

So that’s how she ended up in this mess. I bet he’s lying about the party agreeing. He just seems like the type of ass to do that.

Is this really the fucking hero? The world is doomed. Might as well hand itself over to the demon king already cause that party ain’t saving shit.

Humanity is building a city that’s inching ever closer to the domain of this world’s god? *Tower of Babel war flashbacks intensifies.*

Mr slave trader really fucked up, handing a weapon to the one person in the world that can actually use it. Reversal, completely useless except for this exact situation.

The escape commences.

And of course the hero saint guy was lying. Jean, I think that your name, you’re a disgrace to this planet and the title hero and this is the last time I will utter your name out of spite. I pray that Flum stabs your traitorous ass.

Honestly, I was totally expecting the adventures guild to reject their application because “slaves can’t be adventurers” or something along those lines.

Also kind of surprised the topic of sexual slavery took that long to show up, given the level of dark fantasy world we’re dealing with. Seems like the type of thing that would be right up Mr slave trader’s alley.

Of course Dein couldn’t just be a normal helpful guy. That’s not the type of universe we’re living in. And he’s a cheating lying fraud as well, of course. This will come back to bite you, mark my words.

How bad is monster level D? We will probably find out next week. It should be a useful way to gauge what level of paranoia I should be watching this with.

I wonder how long we’re going to be doing the whole “Master” title thing. It’s kind of making any sort of shipping the main couple feel quite questionable and I feel very bad for Milkit and concerned about her state of mind.

The title is way too excessive so for now I’ll just run with “It’s not paranoia if the universe is really out to get you.”

TheSmexhy2026-01-08 22:03

Clevatess of this season is here ladies and gentlemen

Zeikos2026-01-08 22:12

I understand that they are not pro gamers or something, but not getting what *reversal* means? Do their brans have bumps instead of creases?
Not even trying a mild buff/debuff spell on her?
I understand not going straight up to cursed items, but come the f* on.
She is a **divinely ordained** hero with zero stats and a specific affinity, it kind of implies that her power lies on the bloody affinity.
At least she got slapped in the face hard enough that two neurons rubbed together.

Loved the episode, the premise feels strangely novel, even if the formula is similar.

yuriAngyo2026-01-08 23:56

Since her stats are straight 0s I assume nobody wanted to try any kind of debuff on her out of fear of killing or maiming her. It sounds like she was a loved member of the village, so nobody would wanna risk harming her just to see if her ability is related to debuffs. When the church came, the villagers probably assumed \*they\* knew of an ability she had and would activate it themselves before sending her off, but then they didn't. Thus the first time she touches a cursed item is when she's hit rock bottom and is ready to die. Which makes it strange they let her in the party, but god said so I guess lol

Zeikos2026-01-09 07:47

Tbh that's a weak excuse, stats are a fact of life in that world, the effects of negative stats would be studied.
I doubt that negative stats are incompatible with life, since her being all zeroes still was a healthy young woman.
Furthermore I find hard to believe that she was never the target of a buff after being with the hero party for as long as she did. It could be the case that only negative effects are reversed, but it doesn't seem consistent.

RapBert2026-01-08 22:24

I'm kind of whelmed by this to be honest. If one show needed a two episode premiere, it was this one. But it does have enough elements to set it apart from your run of the mill "kicked from the hero's party" story, so I will keep watching for now.

torvatrollid2026-01-08 22:55

Wow, a "Kicked out of heroes party" show that is actually showing some promise.

My biggest complaint about the other kicked-out show this season was how there really was nothing that set it apart from any of the other kicked-out shows.

This show on the other hand already has a couple of things that make it stand out from the rest of the kicked-out crowd.

Her power being something that nobody including the main character herself didn't understand until she was kicked out was interesting. The stakes are also high, not only was she kicked out but sold into slavery which means she actually needs to deal with being left in very dangerous circumstances.

7/10 - A good start, it has potential to be a really good show. The first episode felt too short.

gabrieltriforcew2026-01-08 23:21

Wait, that sword...Flum apricot is Elric of Melnibone?

goddessofthewinds2026-01-08 23:22

Hmmmm, it's rare I have that feeling, but can I just pay the studio and buy the episodes early? You know, I just need to watch more of this and waiting every week is going to suck.

What I mean is that it is really good and so refreshing compared to all the same crap that I really want to see more "now". Definitely the hidden gem of the season for me. Hopefully it stays good.

SYZekrom2026-01-08 23:51

A female lead instead is always peak.

Healed all his wounds from the zombie things but not the burn from the brand. Sad!

Ok I had a feeling Cyril wasn't actually aware of what glasses guy did with Flum.

Obaruler2026-01-09 00:09

We've got our edge show for this season?! :D

SecretYogurtcloset572026-01-09 00:12

To dark definitely not my type of anime which sucks because i prefer Fmc but oh well😮‍💨

PixLaXhun2026-01-09 00:25

they literally told the slaver she has no skills or anything before selling her...so why would he spend a lot on her?

hbmonk2026-01-09 00:33

So far, this feels a little too edgy in an almost childish way. I'll watch a couple more episodes to see if the yuri is enough for me to stick around.

internetpointsaredum2026-01-09 00:43

So this is the third anime this season with Yuusha Party in the title?

The_Parsee_Man2026-01-09 02:01

I couldn't really tell you if that's above or below average. The concept has definitely been done to death at this point.

notabear872026-01-09 01:40

Gosh I love when something like this just comes out of nowhere. I had no idea this series existed!

This was fucking **awesome**!

She’s such a badass

-whiteroom-2026-01-09 01:52

It's amazing how everyone is seeing the big difference here as it being a girl kicked from the party, instead of seeing the difference as she actually was a burden to the party, instead of the most capable member.

djthomp2026-01-09 01:56

Rough start for Flum, is anyone in this world not a jerk. Though it didn't seem like the entire heroes party knew, so maybe they're not all bad.

I'm a bit curious if Flum's eyesight is reversed, there was a brief moment of her looking at Milkit after she grabbed the sword and she was seeing her upside down.

My god that handholding in the episode, they just met and straight to interdigitation.

Flum getting sent out only a suicide quest with an OP sword and buffs from it, she may get the wrong idea about how helpful the dude at the guild was being since it seems likely she'll easily kill the monsters.

Narvalis2026-01-09 02:44

So the sage in unabashedly evil, not sure what the slaver was expecting when the guy who sold her called her trash, how did no one think to test reversal seems pretty cut and dry that is reverses something it's not that cryptic, and why did they send someone with zero stats into the hero party?

y3kman2026-01-09 03:04

Banished from the party? Not this shit aga--

...with female MC. Ok this is a must-watch.

Is Flum (Plum?)'s Reversal skill flips the effects she receives or does it just allow her to stat overflow with the 995 reduction? She'd been dead multiple times if healing spells have a negative effect on her.

Zeralyos2026-01-09 06:09

It reverses everything. The sword inflicts huge stat penalties which get converted to bonuses and damage over time which gets converted to passive healing.

I can only assume that the hero's party kept her out of any scenarios where she would need healing magic.

Raymond490902026-01-09 03:17

Me starting this: Ok, so I'm guessing this will be one of those standard "kicked out of the hero's party edgy revengeslop not-isekai" except gay

Me at OP: Uh, that's gorier than I was expecting.

Uh, did Glasses have to sell her into slavery instead of sending her home? Even just dumping her in town with some money would've been better. Was he short on money? And if he just gets off on this sort of stuff, then why isn't he staying around to witness it? (I know logistics and all, but there's got to be a safer way for him to get his kicks).

So is Reversal some sort of curse-reversal ability, or does the cursed sword interact weirdly with lesbians?

I feel like there's something ironic about a setting that starts with the MC escaping slavery, but she still somehow drags a slave along with her in a master-slave relationship.

Oh, so the rest of the party didn't know, and Glasses was just malding about lesbians. Neat. For a "Sage", he's pretty dumb.

mmcjawa_reborn2026-01-09 03:18

Random thoughts

Was one I was looking forward to...I like the darker tone and even though it seems like the character looks into being OP pretty right away, there is a pretty good reason why she wouldn't know her about her issue. Also I will never not approve of a slaver getting his just reward in the first episode.

I get it's a litRPG but I will never not be annoyed when a character just blurts out terms like "stats". Just kills my immersion. Also...wow this had a lot of exposition

Interesting that most of the party had no idea the main character got sold into slavery. Cyril feels guilty but come on...How could anyone in this setting ever think that "being sold into slavery is in her best interest". I think also the fact that the party leader kicked out a girl because he was jealous of the girl he liked is uh...unique? Future Yuri love triangle?

TheBigIdiotSalami2026-01-09 04:26

Flum Apricot is a real scrabble type name.

Jaielhahaha2026-01-09 05:52

mmmmh I might have missed the part where it was explained that it is that easy to sell someone else as a slave just like that...

Yurisviel2026-01-09 06:10

Oh damn, how did I miss this series being adapted to an anime. I read this almost a decade ago as a web novel. Shame it never got the attention it needed, but considering how saturated the trope of being banished from the party is in the market, it can't be helped.

But it does definitely stand out due to the female protagonist, some yuri to spice things up, and some good old fashion gore and body horror

The first episode was pretty decent. Glad they didn't shy away from the gore.

Hmm kind of an interesting choice to keep the dark and brooding atmosphere in the next scene. Inside the church, instead of usually being associated with light or holiness. Here everyone seem to be cowering in the dark with the few lit candles illuminate the priest.

Even if Flum escaped with the mysterious slave, the church and conversely the society itself is portrayed as oppressive and gloomy. Fearing and huddling together against the unknown.

Talk about spirals, double helix, resonance, and unity. A little on the nose, but whatever.

As soon as the pair slaves get under the shade casted by the building, society once again reveals its ugly head. It's kind of surprising, maybe not too surprsing, how open the world is to mistreating slaves in public.

Flum gets angry, but she resigns herself to leaving the scene quietly although obviously frustrated. She is aware how much of a class divide there are between slaves and the common folk.

The idea of Flum's ability being Reversal, is definitely a novel idea. She can use cursed items that would normally a normal person, but is massively buffed herself with the ability. Normally cursed items by themselves are rare and powerful. But there are no demand for them and most adventurer's quickly discard or avoid them entirely.

But on the flip side any normal buffs would probably hurt her. Healing would cause injury, and buffs would turn in debuffs. Although, the idea that all her stats were 0 to begin with, seems to imply something else.

It looks like Jean besides being a despicable bastard, also lied to the other party members about Flum leaving. I guess it's nice knowing not all the other party members were not complete assholes, and there were generally some nice people in the group. Cyrill

I guess it's a reversal in another sense. A female guild receptionist who is unprofessional, rude, and telling our Flum to become a prostitute to earn money. More interesting than most other stories where the female receptionist glazes the protagonist. The receptionist seems to give this "advice" because she is jaded and cynical.

Dein giving the girls a chance and persuading the the receptionist. Of course, that evil smirk, and the receptionist's hesitancy already gives the betrayal away. Of course Dein just take the quest rating stamp and marks it as F rank difficulty. it's a suicide quest to get naive and desperate people killed. Certainly feels like the entire system is lawless in a sense.

Of course, Flum still believing in the goodness of other's heart does not hold doubt that Dein is helping her. She still holds optimism and optimism despite the huge betrayal by Jean, being turned into a slave, and fighting the death just within the same day. Girl got that enduring and endearing trait that makes it hard to dislike her. But how long will that last.

Overall, better than I expected. Definitely a modest production and nothing stands out in terms of direction or animation. I think most people who are fans of gore or yuri will stick with this.

Shizzi2026-01-09 13:18

Seeing Flum and Milkit animated i never would have thought i would see the day (and we just had Vol 5 after like 5 years wait it had some insane stuff in it) im gonna love this season so much its so stacked and so many of my mangas/LN are getting animated.

nonewwavenofun2026-01-09 14:38

I've been reading the manga adaptation, but I wasn't expecting an anime as well, so this is a nice surprise. It draws on a lot of LN tropes, but stick with it, trust me. It's a dark fantasy yuri series with a lot of body horror. The animation isn't groundbreaking but it looks fine and imo the spirit of the original work is captured pretty well
