Nageki no Bourei wa Intai shitai (Let This Grieving Soul Retire) [Season 2 Episode 11]

Let’s cut to the chase: Nageki no Bourei wa Intai shitai Season 2 Episode 11 is a chaotic, messy, and weirdly perfect finale for a show that’s never cared about being “good”—it just cares about being fun. If you went into this expecting a polished fantasy epic with mind-blowing animation, you’re in the wrong place. But if you showed up for Krai’s “I don’t get paid enough for this” energy, Kris’s over-the-top tsundere meltdowns, and the kind of humor that makes you snort-laugh at 2 AM, then this episode is exactly what you signed up for.

First off, let’s talk about the big bad: a giant monster fox (because why not?) that’s basically a chaos gremlin with nine tails and a god complex. Fans on MyAnimeList were losing it over this twist—one user called it “fitting for a season finale” since Krai’s never faced something this intimidating before. And yeah, the fox’s entrance is wild: it storms in like it owns the place, spouting lines about fate and power, and… Krai just stares at it. Like, deadpan stares. No panic, no dramatic speech—just “Dude, can we skip the monologue? I’m tired.”

How does he beat it? Oh, you know, classic Krai logic: he’s so chill that the fox’s intimidation tactic backfires. As one fan explained, “The fox tried to win solely through intimidation. Bro was just too chill for the situation to an unbelievable level. So it didn’t work, and their pride was hurt so they admitted defeat.” Add in his plot armor (seriously, this guy could get hit by a meteor and just go, “Huh, that’s new”) and the fox basically throws in the towel because it can’t handle how unphased he is. It’s stupid. It’s lazy. It’s hilarious.

But the real star of the episode? Kris. If you’ve been waiting for her to get more screen time, this is your win. She’s front and center, yelling her iconic “DES” catchphrase (yes, every sentence), being a tsundere mess, and even having a moment where her feelings for Krai are laid bare—sort of. When the fox tries to take what Krai “treasures most,” it picks… a carpet. Not Kris, not his friends, a carpet. The whole scene is peak absurdity, and fans were loving it: “Kris Love Krai, Fox king tell Kris, ‘I can read people’s mind… What you truly treasure most is… a carpet.’” Cue everyone in the chat losing their minds.

Of course, the episode isn’t perfect. The pacing is all over the place—some fans said it felt “rushed,” and they’re right. We barely get to see the rest of Krai’s party (shoutout to Eliza, the “7th member” everyone forgot about until the last 20 seconds). The animation is still average at best—Zero-G didn’t suddenly become Studio Ghibli for the finale. And let’s not even talk about the mispronounced names gag; one user called it “done terribly,” and yeah, it’s gotten old.

But here’s the thing: this show isn’t trying to be a masterpiece. It’s trying to be a good time. And for a lot of fans, that’s enough. As one MyAnimeList user put it, “It’s average in every way but it’s so much fun. I think no anime makes me as happy as this one.” Another added, “The over-the-top style, the goofy shenanigan’s, the wild and fun characters is what separates this anime from a lot of other anime I have seen.”

And let’s not forget the ending tease: Eliza finally shows up (after being MIA all season), a fox loli joins the crew, and there’s a white-haired dark elf who’s basically begging for a Season 3. Fans are already losing it: “Season 3!!!! Please announce it and make my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” “We urgently need a third season.” Let’s be real—if this show can get a Season 2, it can get a Season 3. Krai’s plot armor is that strong.

So, is Episode 11 worth watching? If you’re a fan of the series, absolutely. It’s a love letter to everything that makes Nageki no Bourei great: the chaos, the humor, and the way Krai somehow wins every fight without lifting a finger. If you’re new? Start from the beginning—this episode won’t make sense otherwise. But for those of us who’ve stuck around for Krai’s “retirement” journey? This finale is a chaotic, silly, and satisfying send-off.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to rewatch the carpet scene for the 10th time. And cross my fingers for Season 3. Because let’s be honest—we need more Krai in our lives.
