English Dub Review: Plus-Sized Elf “The Beefy Soldier and Remnants of a Dream”

Overview

Naoe is worried that Ooeda’s harsh regimen is taking its toll on Elfuda. He finally decides to intervene…


Our Take

Picking up from the last episode, it kicks off with Ooeda’s intense focus on physical training as Elfuda is pushed to her absolute limits under a demanding new regimen. With a mix of high-energy activities and strict rules, the tension between discipline and personal motivation becomes a key element. Temptations and setbacks naturally arise, making the character’s resolve all the more important.

As exhaustion sets in, a major turning point happens when Naoe steps in and questions the extremes being enforced. What starts as a strict, one-size-fits-all method gradually gives way to a balanced path. One that respects the character’s determination and autonomy. Of course, it’s not without its setbacks here and there by the end…

Overall, this episode wraps things up with humor and a meaningful message about doing things at your own pace. With heartfelt moments and a bit of cheeky fan service, it pokes fun at the ups and downs of weight loss journeys while keeping things lighthearted and character-focused. While this might feel like a season finale, Hidive’s website says two more episodes are reportedly left. The question now is, what future awaits everyone within these last two?
