So I'm a Spider, So what? Ep 7: Excitement brews as strange secrets come to light
Written by: Gabriel Castillo | Published on: February 21, 2021
Grinding and leveling becomes a bit questionable when someone/something is watching… New elements and surprises come into play as the plot moves forward!
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
Summary
The little spider heroine unlocks interesting new abilities after another set of grinding. Meanwhile, the other human reincarnations set out for an educational camping trip that takes a surprisingly violent turn. From camp site to fight night!
Eye Have the Power
The spider becomes more powerful as the days go by. Now, the use of evil eye abilities (which includes a multitude of modes) becomes possible. She can even use one type per eye (she has 8 eyes)! Kumoko obtains some serious firepower. Let's go Kumoko!
Hugo's Hubris
The human reincarnations head out to the forest for a mixed camping and learning session. Sadly, Hugo Bain von Renxandt (what a mouthful) has other priorities. During the off-campus trip, this spiteful prince commands his lackeys to bring some powerful monsters for the purpose of creating chaos and hopefully to kill the beloved Schlain Zagan Analeit (also a mouthful). As the attack begins (not much action here sadly), Oka-sensei butts in and puts the salty Hugo in his place. Yeahp, she whooped him good! To make things better (or worse for the angry boy) Oka-sensei somehow confiscates his skills and statuses. That’s a real solid burn.
New Revelations
There are brand new developments to the story! First, Kumoko mysteriously acquires a new skill. Someone named Admin D blesses the spider heroine with a fabricated ability called wisdom which proceeds to buff her stats and welcomes exciting new possibilities. Looks like the little spider is has a stalker. Second, a new shady character approaches Hugo. Apparently, she knows that the now-weakened prince is a reincarnation and even offers help. What does she want to happen? How does she know about the reincarnations? Props to the artists in charge of the scene wherein Hugo's reflection could be seen from the mystery lady's eye (see below for photo)! These lovely shots always have an ominous yet exciting feel.
