I knew as soon as I saw the preview post last week that I was going to have to prepare myself again for the comments on lack of action.
At least there was at least two fights this time, and both involving the main cast! Hey, that's something, right?
I'm trying to imagine what people were thinking when Ilumgand was talking about helping the hero and not interfering with Makoto. Cliché second chance? Then Mio is just "nah"

Definitely a lot of internal dialogue being skipped in this adaptation, especially Makoto’s. However, I don’t really remember this Tomoe and Root conversation being too important, but I also don’t remember it very well so I could just be forgetting the importance. At least, not as important as the conversation they had after Root had tried to explain traveling between worlds to Makoto (earlier this season).
I had completely forgotten about Mio coming back to mop up Ilumgand, so that was a nice surprise on my part. I had also forgotten about the importance of him saving those girls in the pleasure district until his inner monologue about a brothel owner reminded me about who that is. The story is coming back to me as it has been quite a while since I read the WN.
I think that next episode is when things are going to be a bit more exciting as Kuzunoha now has been formally asked to intercede.

I guess it might be a good thing I'm not a director since I probably do focus on unimportant things. I just sort of always got the feeling from the source, and I don't think this is a spoiler it's just my feelings, that Root was a very conceited / egotistical kind of person. Maybe I just hallucinated that, because that's where I'm coming from is when the anime doesn't match my expectations of the character. Like I would've expected him to respond to being told someone is stronger than him with "You always were a kidder, Tomoe". I don't know, I feel like he's not really matching with my expectations, especially since people are calling him Luto instead. Like, did they really change that? Why?! It's like taking someone named Kuro that dresses all in black and being like "Actually, we'll translate their name as Jeffrey. Close enough". /rant

Is there any meaning to his name? His name is ルト in Japanese, I’m not aware of it having anything to do with the English word root which should be ルート in Japanese.
