This was one of the better episodes. Even the typical Grimgar-slow part in the beginning made sense when the undead appeared. After all, we hadn't seen, especially of late, too much of Mary's old crew, so if the ghouls had simply walked in without such an introduction, the effect would have been a fraction of what it was. The crazed giant kobold was also very nice. Naturally the best part was Ranta's. Like I have been saying, one can be a functional member of a team of adventurers without being all buddy-buddy with everybody else. This episode was a perfect example of it.

I have a feeling Ranta won't die. Of course he still might since this series in general is going for quite a nihilistic or pessimistic view of the life of monster hunters, but perhaps he won't. It just seems to me that between Manato and Mary's past, the old deaths are still carrying their effect, so a new one isn't necessarily needed right now.
