English Dub Review: Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None “No Going Back for the Jack-of-All-Trades”

Overview (Spoilers Below):

Orun begins his descent into the dungeon with the new recruits.

Our Take:

Orun’s first chapter of his journey begins with him joining the Silver Rabbits’ recruits for the Great Dungeon raid.  Given Orun’s immaculate skills, this sounded like an easy first step for him as a swordsman without Oliver’s Hero Party.  However, that turns out to be wishful thinking upon seeing the recruits he has to deal with.  Along with Sophia, Orun must contend with Logan Hayward, an arrogant enchanter with no leadership skills, and Caroline Inglot, a joyful defender who’s swift yet reckless.  Fortunately, they’re lucky enough to get to the 21st floor before Orun has to deal with the Hero Party once again.

In its second episode, the show starts to show more signs of what we could expect from the season, while sharing a couple of elements from other similar shows like I Left My A-Rank Party.  In addition to the dungeon raid, Orun would also have to contend with his anger towards Oliver and the Hero Party for replacing him with another enchanter.  Fortunately, the episode shows that not every member of the Hero Party is a jackass, as Luna, another childhood friend of Orun’s, is always passionate towards him.  But even with that, Orun is still in pain from Oliver’s betrayal to see his face again.  Granted, I would be angry too if I were in his shoes, let alone furious.  But given the conversations about the Hero Party’s status without Orun, I won’t be surprised if Oliver gets a satisfying piece of karma for abandoning his friend.
