Potion, Wagami wo Tasukeru [Season 1 Episode 7]

Guys, let’s dive into Potion, Wagami wo Tasukeru Season 1 Episode 7—because this episode didn’t just give us cute potion-making moments (though there were plenty of those), it dropped a huge bombshell that’s got everyone talking! If you’ve been following Kaede’s journey since she woke up in that strange otherworld with nothing but her backpack and a mysterious old book, you know she’s come a long way from being a scared high schooler to someone who can hold her own (thanks to those magic potions she makes by chanting “create”—still low-key jealous of that power).

But Episode 7? It’s a game-changer. Let’s get into it: Kaede’s just been going about her usual business—gathering ingredients, mixing potions, selling them to get by—when suddenly, a group of dragon hunters bursts into the inn where she’s staying. And here’s the kicker: they’re not after her potions. They want to meet the creator of her potion book. Like, whoa—where did that come from? I swear, my jaw dropped when they said that.

The tension in that scene was real. Kaede’s eyes went wide, but you could tell she was trying not to panic. She quickly thinks on her feet and uses a smoke potion to escape—smart move, Kaede! It’s moments like this that make her such a relatable protagonist. She’s not some overpowered hero with a sword; she’s just a regular girl using the tools she has to survive. And that’s what makes her story so engaging.

From the fan discussions I’ve seen (especially on MyAnimeList), everyone’s obsessing over this new plot twist. Who is the book’s creator? Why did Kaede end up with it? Are the dragon hunters friends or enemies? These questions are all over the place, and honestly, I’m right there with them. I need answers!

Another thing I loved about this episode was the animation. The way the potions glow when Kaede chants “create” is so satisfying to watch—like, it’s not too flashy, but it’s enough to make you go “ooh” every time. And the dragon hunters’ designs? They look tough, but there’s a hint of curiosity in their faces when they talk about the book. Maybe they’re not as bad as they seem? I hope we get to find out soon.

Kaede’s character growth is also super noticeable here. She’s not as timid as she was in the first few episodes. When the hunters confront her, she doesn’t back down immediately—she tries to negotiate, even if she’s scared. It’s nice to see her becoming more confident in her abilities, even in such a scary situation.

If you haven’t watched Episode 7 yet, stop what you’re doing and go see it. It’s full of suspense, cute moments (like Kaede accidentally spilling a potion earlier in the episode—we’ve all been there), and a huge cliffhanger that’ll leave you wanting more. I can’t wait for the next episode to see what happens with the dragon hunters and the book’s creator.

Overall, Episode 7 is one of my favorite episodes so far. It keeps the story fresh, adds new mysteries, and shows Kaede’s growth as a character. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who loves isekai stories with a twist and a protagonist you can root for.
