English Dub Review: Chillin’ in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers “Until My Life Ends”

Overview

As Flio and company are beginning their new life near the town of Houghtow, an all-out attack by the Dark Army endangers the very existence of Klyrode, forcing the king to make a decision…

Our Take

As the chaos in the kingdom of Klyrode intensifies as Gaeul and his subordinates launch a full-scale assault, forcing the king to make a tough decision which ends up putting him out of commission and putting the first princess takes charge, proving to be a better leader than her father by firing the incompetent hero and seeking Flio’s help. Meanwhile, the Blonde Hero, now stripped of his duties, sneaks into the castle’s treasure chamber and encounters a sealed djinn within a sword. This djinn, who calls herself “Hiya”, offers to grant the Hero three wishes, but reveals a dark price must be paid once fulfilled…

As the kingdom grapples with these events, Flio and his companions move their base near the trading city of Houghtow. And attempt to resume their new life while Flio and Fenrys grow closer, enjoying peaceful moments together. However, the Blonde Hero’s reckless actions endanger everyone, causing turmoil and threatening the kingdom’s stability. But fortunately for the kingdom, the Princess who’s currently in charge is advised by a prophesier to seek the True Hero in the west.

Overall, I kinda liked this episode. The first 4 episodes were fine in establishing all the characters, who our foe is, and what’s now at stake, and now all of it leads to a serious turning point where every choice that’s made, now leads to direct and indirect consequences. Plus, the sense of escalation is now affecting other parts outside of the kingdom such as the presence of the Hiya appearing before Flio and the unexpected cliffhanger, that sets the stage for a showdown between the two…
