My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s S01E10: A Masterclass in Underdog Dominance

If you thought My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s was just another isekai with a cool premise, Season 1 Episode 10 is here to prove you wrong. This week’s installment isn’t just a filler—it’s a high-octane showcase of why this series has quickly become a fan favorite among action anime lovers under 20. Let’s break down all the reasons why Episode 10 is a must-watch.

First off, let’s talk about the production value. Produced by TMS Entertainment (the team behind Detective Conan’s sleek action scenes) and animated by Sunrise (known for their mecha mastery), Episode 10’s animation quality is chef’s kiss. The fight sequences are fluid, dynamic, and packed with tiny details that make every move feel intentional. For example, when the protagonist—our silent, deadly assassin—sneaks through a dark alley to take down a group of bandits, you can see the way his cloak flutters in the wind, the glint of his hidden blade in the moonlight, and the precise way he disarms each enemy without making a sound. It’s the kind of animation that makes you lean forward and go, “Whoa, that’s so cool!”

What makes this episode stand out, though, is how it leans into the series’ core premise: the assassin’s skills are way better than the hero’s. Episode 10 throws our protagonist into a new challenge—rescuing a village from a group of rogue knights— and he does it with such ease that you can’t help but root for him. The hero, on the other hand, tries to step in and lead the charge but ends up fumbling (as usual). Fans online have been roasting the hero’s lack of strategy, with one Twitter user saying, “The hero’s plan was basically ‘run and swing’—thank god the assassin was there to fix his mess.” It’s that contrast between the overconfident hero and the quiet, competent assassin that makes every scene so satisfying.

Let’s dive into the plot of Episode 10. The episode starts with the assassin and the hero’s party arriving at a village that’s been terrorized by knights who’ve turned to banditry. The hero immediately wants to charge in and fight, but the assassin knows better. Instead, he spends the first 15 minutes scouting the area, mapping out the knights’ patrol routes, and finding their weak points. When he finally strikes, it’s a masterclass in stealth and efficiency: he takes down 10 knights in under 2 minutes, using smoke bombs to disorient them and his dagger to deliver quick, clean blows. The final fight scene—where he faces off against the knights’ leader— is epic: the leader tries to use a big sword to overpower him, but the assassin uses his agility to dodge every attack and deliver a fatal stab to the chest. Fans have been posting clips of this scene all over TikTok, with comments like “This is why I love this show—no unnecessary drama, just pure badassery.”

Another thing to love about Episode 10 is the small character moments. We get a glimpse into the assassin’s past when he finds a young girl in the village who reminds him of his little sister. This soft side of him adds depth to his character, making him more than just a killing machine. It’s these little touches that make the series feel more personal and relatable.

Is there anything to criticize? Maybe a tiny bit: some fans felt that the hero’s subplot (where he tries to gain the villagers’ trust) was a bit boring, but honestly, who’s watching this show for the hero? The star is our assassin, and Episode 10 gives him all the spotlight he deserves. If you’re here for non-stop action and a protagonist who’s always one step ahead, you won’t be disappointed.

Overall, My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s Season 1 Episode 10 is a home run. It’s got everything you want in an action anime: great animation, cool fight scenes, a charismatic lead, and enough heart to keep you invested. Whether you’re a long-time fan or just starting out, this episode will leave you hyped for what’s next. So grab your popcorn, turn up the volume, and get ready to be blown away—this assassin isn’t done impressing us yet.
