Amaki Ren liked to game. He was good at speedrunning Brave Star Online, but while he was fine having a girl over to watch, he avoided bigger crowds. When he ended up in another world, he discovered that the mechanics were identical to BSO, and thus attempted to speedrun it as well. Then he rushed headlong at the Spirit Tortoise and got his party killed.
Fast-forward to when Bitch swore her allegiance to him. The very next day she ditches him and steals all his equipment, leaving a note calling him “useless.” The same hero hunters who went after Naofumi last week chase Ren through the streets, but when he tries to hide in a citizen’s home she tells him to leave.
Nobody in the city wants the failed Sword Hero around, so he heads into the wilderness, where he runs afoul of some bandits and … snaps. Drawing power from a curse similar to Naofumi a while back, he kills all the bandits and steals the leader’s mask.
That brings us to last week’s cliffhanger, with Motoyasu fighting the masked Ren. When Naofumi arrives, Motoyasu explains to his “dad-to-be” that he’s defeating the bandit leader, who just happens to be Ren. Ren then attacks Naofumi, but Naofumi finds he’s become incredibly weak.
Once Naofumi determines Ren is under the influence of the Curse of Greed, he prepares to have S’yne and the others restrain him and take him back to town. But Eclair asks Naofumi to let her duel the Sword Hero. She believes she can knock some sense into him with swordsmanship and chivalry.
Eclair is ten times the swordsman Ren is, and even gets mad being beaten over and over again he draws from the Curse of Gluttony to summon monsters … which Eclair defeats with ease. Eclair assures Ren that with his heart in its current state, not knowing what he actually wants, there’s no way he can defeat her.
Sure enough, when Eclair gets serious Ren doesn’t stand a chance, and the dual curses eventually render him unable to even properly hold his sword. She knocks him to the ground and shatters his mask, and he ends up returning to his senses.
Eclair is about to lend him a hand up when the hero hunters arrive, causing Naofumi and Raphtalia to panic knowing how powerful they are. But to their shock, Motoyasu followed Naofumi’s advice to get stronger, and is strong enough to kill both of them in ten seconds flat.
Raph uses a spirit sword to slash their souls so they won’t come back this time (hopefully), and a blood-soaked Motoyasu, who is in better spirits but also quite bonkers, ends up scaring the crap out of Filo again, causing her to revert to bird form and flee.
With the hero hunter’s interruption over, Eclair reaches out a hand and helps him up. He may be weak now, but she’s sure there’s a sliver of strength in him. Sure enough, he seems to have been killed when he protected some classmates from a man with a knife.
That took strength, and Eclair offers to get stronger with him together. He can worry about the reason he wants to get stronger later. Now, a Ren-centric episode was kinda the last thing I wanted, but Eclair kinda saved it at the end by being her awesome self, and gaining a training partner with a high ceiling.
