Who is "Mother"?
The jokes in this episode were on point. All the "Let me explain" parts were also done well.
The earth dragon's cute af. Just a big talking pet lazing around. :3.
Also, Kumoko's speed is now 1300.. that's pretty rad.

The huge spider that lay the eggs she was born from, who was then eating them and tried to eat her.. She called her Mother or some such.Originally Posted by Buffalobiian
Also the monster spider that was killed in this episode was talking, interesting.
The delivery of the jokes have been better as has her sarcastic commentary. I thought the same with the dragon, and I forget how big she's gotten from when she began.
Honestly, there's some much visual and text input in this episodes, I'm really ignoring all the skills/stats as they're presented. It was something huge I paid attention as I was reading the LN, but can't be bothered with the anime.

He did have trouble killing it, and required a significant distraction.
For something with base stats of over 2000, it had pretty shitty durability though. Once its speed was nullified it was toast.

Was that demon lord at the end even talking about that white spider? I thought she meant Kumoko, albeit it was delivered subtly. Or do you infer that from the white spider being distressed at some point? My first association was that the white spider felt Kumoko's presence, in a subtle way to hype up our favorite spider girl. Although being scared of the demon lord probably makes more sense.
Anyway, god, I love this anime so much. You'd think watching all the level ups and power stats being explained would get boring, BUT IT DOESNT. I could watch this anime for hours. If this was a real video game, it'd be super fun because of the fast pace and the lack of stupid grinding.
Although I gotta criticize Kumoko a bit: She really ought to stop fighting enemies that are several levels above her own. Like, it always ends well somehow, but realistically, that's not how you'd do things. For her, it's not a game after all. There's no shame in grinding on some lower level enemies.
Her new look that was teasted in the opening looks super cool.Really looking forward to the moment when she finally meets her past fellow students. ALTHOUGH: We talked about different time lines before, right? What if that white spider WAS Kumoko after all? That's why it could speak. Maybe that's her end form when the negative effects (that surely will become a thing at some point) of her proud/heretic/demon lord skill accumulate too much. God, that would be bitter if we basically got to see the end of the anime and then in episode 12 she crawls up to the location where Julius and his party were and the series ends like that. >_<

That's a very good point, hadn't thought of that. It could very well be a red herring and the Demon Lord is talking about something completely unrelated.
Well, that's the point of the last few episodes. She fell to some floors of this dungeon which only have strong monsters. If she goes back to where she was she'll find stronger monsters, if she keeps heading to the upper floors (where she was at the beginning but fell from), she'll have to go through this magma level which is her natural enemy. Point being, there's not much lower level monsters around for her to defeat, she's had to rely on luck and wits to get by.Anyway, god, I love this anime so much.

Holy shit, she's dead!Her new look that was teasted in the opening looks super cool.Really looking forward to the moment when she finally meets her past fellow students.

Hm, I had thought of this world being like a video game, where enemies will respawn after some time, so Kumoko could just keep beating these ape monsters or feed of the lava fish monsters. But that's maybe too gamey, yeah.
Ikr?!Holy shit, she's dead!
Although I wanna think of a happier option here: The white spider is a physical manifestation of Kumoko's split personality that was introduced in this episode. Basically, Julius defeated a mirror/clone of Kumoko. All assuming that we're witnessing different timelines.

Well, those apes were too strong for her as it were, she was lucky to come out alive. Also it's not like she's particularly looking for strong monsters, some she couldn't avoid like this latest one.
Not sure about the respawn thing, didn't think of that, but I think you're underestimating the level of the ones she's defeated in the last episodes. That said, at least in the current floor she got the trick down of depleting their MP.
Future Kumo, Ghost Kumo...
Boy, you guys are reading a lot into the fact that the white spider looks like the same species as Kumiko.
When monsters respawn in video games, it's normally assumed that those are different monsters replacing them. It's not the SAME monster coming back to life.

Aren't they all the same species? They just evolve randomly every 10 levels. The gargantuan mother and Kumoko are still the same species, even though Kumoko has turned into different looking things a few times. It wouldn't surprise me of that whole huge dungeon only had a single giant spider species occupying it, with myriads variations. That being said, Kumoko hasn't really needed to fight other spiders that much.
Omg, what if the white spider was Kumoko's child? 🙈 Although that'd only work if spiders could procreate asexually, as I doubt Kumoko would want to have sex with some spider, eww-lol.
I currently believe there's no major timeline async between the human scenes and Kumoko. I have no particular basis for this, but since, I heavily assume, the humans (and elf) were actually reborn in the new word, just like Kumoko, they would have needed many years to reach a relevant level of development. Kumoko, being an evolving monster, apparently didn't. If she had gone for a different path, she would now be as big as a house, after all. So, they would now be kind of equal maturity wise. You might claim the students have double the mental age, but I'm sure it's not so simple or straightforward if you start from a baby again. They very much don't act like it, at least. Although I don't know how the elf teacher fits in. Did she reborn even earlier?
If the student scenes were from the past, wouldn't they be geezers if Kumoko ever meets them, like you'd assume she will in a story like this? If the scenes were from the future (they were born at the same time with Kumoko), it feels kind of pointless because it would take many years for them to be able to interact with Kumoko in a relevant manner, plus if Kumoko keeps up the current speed of development, she would be like a god compared to them.

One of the skills she's passed on a few times so far is "egg laying."
She may not need anything more than that.
...which is horrifying in its own way when you think about it. What other monsters can just acquire it?
So you're telling me she has the ability to have infinite fried eggs, and no need to worry to hunt monsters for self-sustenance and she hasn't realized it yet!?
Lol
Message too short blabla
episode 6:
not sure if i like that administrator revelation. so they might literally be inside a video game? Now I kinda expect some dumb overarching plot.
also, it jeopardizes all the grinding and skill unlocking when there's some person that just randomly listens to players' requests and gives them what they want ... or might take away stuff unfairly. Hope it's being used carefully.

Completely agree on both counts. Both of these things undermine huge parts of what I like about this show.

I guess the professor/elf caping her students stats/skills might be a way to keep their profiles low so that they are not targets for those admins/players. Maybe explains some of the 4 reincarnated deaths ?
There's also the higher lever spider pruning we've seen last ep.
Some higher level users probably have very long range sensing and can kill anything going past some level to stop any threat at a very safe level.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Though, in a world for of dangerous monsters. It stands to reason that, statistically, some of them would just die growing up in it.
Kumoko herself is incredibly lucky to have survived when she was just starting out. If everyone else didn't come back as some noble or elder dragon, they you can imagine them just, like, growing up on a farm and getting sick and dying.
but how does the teacher even know about all the students? apparently she knows about kumoko, too? and then wont tell the others about her, for "reasons" :/
