First thoughts after watching Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Episode 1

This note includes a spoiler.

I watched Jobless Reincarnation season 3 episode 1 twice. 8/10. This episode was completely from Eris's point of view. I actually knew this part of the story because I think I read the manga for it. So I knew what Eris thought and why she left Rudeus behind, but I didn't remember the details.

It was great how desperate she was and she really wanted to be strong. Honestly, she wasn't the type of girl who talks a lot, so I just needed to watch and feel. But after watching it back, I noticed she followed what the Sword God said and did what he instructed her to do. Also, I thought Ghislaine had gone back somewhere because she didn't train Eris, but she was in the Sword God's house. I wondered why. But maybe she followed what her master, the Sword God, said.

I didn't remember the North Emperor from the manga, but that character was also memorable and unique. When Eris started fighting at the gate, she was already exhausted from her training before the fight even started, and she lost. But the next day, she still struggled to fight him, but something happened and she won the sparring match against him. The animation changed to simply blackish colors with only red and blue lines, and she seemed to just jump and swing her wooden sword. Other people called it the Blade of Light, and it probably showed how fast it was. When the Sword God used it on Eris, there was the same animation, too. Speaking of animation, her expression changed very often during the fight. When the North Emperor stood on her sword and pushed it down to the ground, she stopped looking at him. When he counterattacked her at the training hall, she looked surprised for a moment. The animation really cared about the details of everything.

By the way, after her training, she went straight to bed, without changing her clothes. And the next day, she still hadn't changed her training uniform, and it was torn and dirty. She probably didn't care about clothes, only about swords.

I liked the North Emperor's question, "Who is Rudeus?", and the answer was "Rudeus is amazing!" The best answer you could hope for.

Now that I think about Eris, before she met Rudeus, she was already a mad dog and was violent toward everyone, so this showed she didn't change a bit, but just had one single goal in her mind. Also she needed to think about how to fight and move fast by herself for a long time in this episode, so that single-mindedness grew even stronger.
