Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None: Episode 4 – When the Hype Hits a Wall
Let’s cut to the chase: Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None (or Yuusha Party wo Oidasareta Kiyoubinbou, if you’re into the full Japanese title) had a solid start. The premise—Orhun Dura, a former Hero Party enchanter branded “a jack-of-all-trades but master of none” and kicked to the curb—felt like a fresh take on the overdone “banished hero” trope. But by Episode 4? Fans are split faster than a party arguing over loot.
First, let’s get the basics straight. This Winter 2026 anime (yes, it’s new—aired Jan 4, 2026) follows Orhun as he tries to rebuild his life after being betrayed by his childhood friend and the party he once trusted. Studio Animation Studio 42 is behind it, and while the 3D animation isn’t terrible, it’s… fine. Think “serviceable enough to not make you cringe during fights.” But let’s talk about the episode everyone’s buzzing (and eye-rolling) about.
The Good: Character Depth (When It’s There)
Orhun’s pragmatism is still the show’s saving grace. In Episode 4, he doesn’t mope—he just says, “Without me, my old party can’t move forward.” Refreshing, right? No edgy monologues, just cold hard facts. And the Rabbit Party (his new crew) finally gets some love: Sophia shows off her skills, and Selma—who initially doubted Orhun—apologizes after realizing she messed up. That’s growth! Fans like @MewsicMagic praised this: “Characters who are a bit more intelligent and not just edgy? Yes, please.”
Plus, the voice acting Easter egg? Chef’s kiss. Orhun is voiced by Aqua’s seiyuu from Oshi no Ko, and Caroline (the Rabbit Party’s firecracker) by Akane’s. As one fan put it: “They’re working double time—turning a profit from a low B-tier show? Respect.”
The Bad: Pacing That Makes a Snail Look Fast
Here’s the tea: Episode 4 drags. Like, “did I just watch the same fight scene twice?” drags. Remember that spider battle? Logan (the Rabbit Party’s hotheaded member) spends half the episode replaying it in his head, analyzing Orhun’s strength. Dude, we saw it 10 minutes ago! Fans roasted this: “Recapping the fight we just saw was a choice,” said one. Another added: “Five minutes of a 14-year-old explaining how strong Orhun is? We get it—he’s OP!”
And don’t get us started on the dialogue. “Still too much talking,” groaned a viewer. The show spends so long info-dumping that the story feels stuck. It’s like the writers forgot: show, don’t tell.
The Ugly: That Shower Scene (Yikes)
If there’s one thing that made fans hit “drop,” it’s the unnecessary shower scene. Two 14-year-old girls (Sophia and her friend) take a bath, and while it’s not explicit (think foggy steam), it’s… weird. “I didn’t need to see that,” said a frustrated fan. Another called it “creepy—why are we sexualizing kids in a fantasy anime?” Even those who didn’t mind the fanservice thought it was out of place: “The fog wasn’t thick enough,” joked one, “and it added nothing to the plot.”
The Verdict: To Drop or Not to Drop?
Jack-of-All-Trades is stuck in limbo. It’s not bad—the characters are likable, the 3D fights are passable, and Orhun’s journey has potential. But it’s also not good—the pacing is glacial, the fanservice is tone-deaf, and the story feels like it’s treading water.
Fans are split: Some, like @LordCrueltyV, are sticking around for the next episode (“I want to see the Hero Party get humbled”). Others? “This is the only show I regret picking up this season,” admitted @Marinate1016.
Here’s the thing: If you’re into slow-burn character development and don’t mind the occasional cringe, keep watching. But if you’re craving action or a plot that moves faster than Orhun’s old party’s regret? Maybe skip this one.
Final Score: 6/10
It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s not trash. It’s just… there. Like that one snack you eat because it’s the only thing in the fridge. Will it get better? Maybe. But for now, Jack-of-All-Trades is a reminder that even the most promising tropes can fizzle out if you don’t keep the momentum going.
Next episode, let’s hope the Hero Party finally gets their comeuppance—and that the writers leave the shower scenes to shows that actually need them.
— A fan who’s still on the fence (but low-key rooting for Orhun)
P.S. If you’re here for the waifus? Stick around. The Rabbit Party has some cute ones. Just… maybe fast-forward the bath scenes.
