    It is true for any kind of celebrity, though I think seiyuus do not have the most public attention compared to actors or sports stars. It could be the case that it is harder for them to date people outside of the industry, we are just seeing those who successfully made it to marriage and it is an all the more precious thing.

    This season's meetings…… no, Tempest's Opening Festival is over.

    @rikka@ani.social :

    Rimuru easily thwarted Rosso family's plan to undermine Tempest's standing, with Duke Muese taking the brunt of the fall.

    Rimuru recognized that Yuuki is the boss behind Clayman with connections to the eastern merchants. This followed by Tempest receiving a letter from the Council of the West foreshadows the conflict for the next season, which was announced after the episode.

    The anime have almost caught up to the manga, around chapter 118 (latest is 122), and about half way through the LN volumes. We do not know when the next season will begin broadcasting, but manga readers can probably look forward to it going into unknown territory.

    Yes, you could have watched a 5- (or 10-) years old movie and went there for a forum full of threads about that specific movie. Some threads might be old, but people did make new threads even after years, and they were all in one place and easy to find. It was a big loss when it was shut down, and I haven’t found a place that offers a similar experience.

    Elmesia's title is 天帝 or 皇帝 in Japanese, and both of these are gender-less words.

    In any case, the English people probably had the same thought you did and defined Kingdom as being able to be headed by a queen also. The United Kingdom was one example until recently.

    There is a reason Rimuru is special besides being from a different world, and is related to the mask, but that is the next story arc for the anime (LN vol 11) I think.

    Continuing from the end of the last episode, Rimuru and Gazel discuss Tempest's financial problems, at which point in stead of the OP song we got the entrance of wise and ancient Elmesia, who was acquainted with Gazel's grandfather and called him Gazel-bou ("young Gazel").

    Elmesia offered to exchange some gold coins from her personal magic purse to help, and gave a lesson to Tempest (and especially Diablo) what greedy schemes humans could have hatched to undermine the country. After some talks with Rimuru and assessing him, she approved an alliance between Thalion and Tempest, in return of …… getting her included in any interesting stuff Rimuru plans in the future, and an introduction to Mr. Yoshida 🍰.

    As to the tournament, Gobta fought so bravely with his new skill that even "Lightspeed" Masayuki decided to concede the fight and let Gobta win. Milim was impressed and volunteered to train Gobta and Ranga in the dungeons which Hakuro welcomed.

    @rikka@ani.social :

    Goodbye, Gobta. Goodbye, Ranga. I'll never forget how brave you were. -- Rimuru

    Masayuki finally got to eat lunch in private with Rimuru, without his doting party members. Rimuru told him that he was also from Japan and treated him Japanese cuisine. He was relieved they were not enemies and told Rimuru of his unique skill. When he learned that Tempest had mangas, he became an ally completely.

    Next episode we'll witness the opening of Tempest's Labyrinth, and Masayuki will show it off by challenging it.

    I like that they covered the whole Kelvin fight this episode (they even skipped the opening to get more time) instead of having us wait for the result.

    So Kelvin had been holding back (way back, as we'd find out later in the episode) in his fights to entertain the viewers, a fact he admitted to Rick whom I guess he felt is worthy enough.

    But he finally met Broughston who was stronger, and he gave up his hesitation and went all-out after some encouragement from the gym owner. Turned out he was strong in magic also, which took a lot of hard training. He used level-eight magic which impressed the S-rank party members and a big reaction from Angelica. Broughston for his part showed his respect by giving the champion the orc quarter thumbs-up and then beat him utterly.

    @rikka@ani.social :

    It went into the ending song right after the fight, so we don't know how Rick's reacted to having to fight Broughston next, I doubt he'll be let off easily just because they have secured the belt :-)

    Masayuki's unique skill is strong indeed. He somehow made it to the final match without fighting at all, at the same time without disappointing all his fans. Just the opposite, they seemed to be crazy about him.

    If you looked close enough, there was another person questioning that along with Rimuru:

    @rikka@ani.social :

    To Rimuru's surprise Gobta beat Lion Mask with his tactics and will be the one who fights Masayuki. Meanwhile Rimuru has an appointment with Gazel-in-yukata, the purpose of which we'll find out next episode.

    Below ordinary level ??? Rick posing as 1-month studied Angelica. It was not enough to defeat prodigy level 1 Geith, but Rick shows what possibility Angelica can have if she spends more time training.

    @rikka@ani.social :

    I was going to say this is the payoff episode, but the tournament is not finished yet and they still have a Champion to defeat. It is good to see Angelica's problem solved though.

    Also, the button layout on switch controllers is different (A & B is swapped compared to XBox). This mostly matters on emulators, although you can remap the buttons, it can get confusing that they don’t match the games’ instructions on screen.

    In fact, USB 3 can cause interference with 2.4GHz wireless so a 2.0 hub could actually be better for OP’s purpose. It probably won’t make much of a difference unless you’re plugging in a thumb drive right next to the receiver though.

    I really hate that you can only open one settings page at a time. There is no justification to making you lose your place you’re working on just because you want to adjust another minor setting. With the old interface I can e.g. have network and sound settings open at the same time and I don’t know why they took that away.

    Also see this [English post](https://breaking.dog/b8b7703c99e84320b0ba687dcb00938f) about the Japanese Senator visit. Context: In the past year there were pressure from VISA and Mastercard on shops selling content that can be considered adult; several sites tried to appease them by imposing restrictions on creators, but ultimately VISA and Mastercard stopped doing business with them (or vice versa), thus stopping those shops' ability to accept those forms of payment. DL.Getchu.com is a Japanese shopping site for doujin manga, and was one of the shops that stopped (or was forced to stop) taking VISA and Mastercard. (Others shops include Toranoana, DLsite, FANZA doujin etc.) People were concerned about these issues' impact on the freedom of expression. Several days ago, Japanese Senator Yamada Taro went to VISA HQ and confronted executives there. According to him, he was told (machine translation from the news article) "VISA headquarters does not make value judgments on the content handled by each site, etc., and if it does, it is at the site*. VISA also reported that it has never instructed them to stop handling content that contains specific terms (keywords)." *at the site: the Japanese word used was 現場, on-site where the action happens, as opposed to far away in the back office or executive suite. Meaning if such judgments happened, it was done by somebody far lower and removed from HQ, or so they claimed. A few days later, DL.Getchu.com announced that it will accept VISA again. It is unknown if it is related to the above, or if other sites will follow suit at this time.
