Now this Was a Cool Fight!

Sentenced to Be a Hero Ep 9 Review

Well, when diplomacy fails, there’s always good old-fashioned violence to fall back on. Xylo and Kivia’s harebrained plan to get close to Lideo Sodrick, the head of the adventurer guild that put out a hit on Teoritta, has gone up in smoke. Now everyone in the slums is out for them. Though, to be frank, if these adventurers were smart, they would just get out of the pair’s way. They’ve fought Demons that can tear most people limb from limb. This episode is basically the show’s equivalent of watching Batman and his partners delivering a smackdown on a gang of criminals.

It’s kind of fun to watch, though!

So, after their cover gets blown, Lideo decides to run for it alongside his sister, Iri, while his adventurers try to fight Xylo, Kivia, and Frenci. Emphasis on the word “trying,” because like I said, they’re about as big a threat as a group of nameless thugs is to a superhero. And given how Xylo and Kivia have military training, this stuff is nothing to them. But as always, its a visual feast to us! Even more so once Teoritta and the rest of the Hero Unit show up and start mopping the floor with the rest of them. And the demon faerie that manages to appear.

This entire part of the episode reminds me a lot of those scenes where the protagonists all work together to fight off a bunch of low-level kooks, like the Straw Hats in the Fishman Island Arc. It’s really just an excuse to let them show off what they can do, and it’s worth every second of animation. To sweeten the deal, though, is the unexpected banter between Kivia and Frenci. Xylo has plenty of reason to worry about the two being at each other’s throats, but what’s even scarier, though, is how well they get along. Mostly because they diss him for his perceived flaws.

I would say that Frenci is no good for Xylo, but keep in mind, she’s willing to call him her fiance despite his Hero status. She does care about him.

At any rate, Lideo’s plan to escape was already doomed to failure. Xylo thought ahead and had Dotta lie in wait to capture him in case he made a break for it. What’s more concerning is the fact that Boojum brought a faerie, Shiji, and one other adventurer show up to tie up loose ends. Which, any savvy viewer should know, means to make sure loose lips don’t sink the ship.

It gets worse. Lideo manages to escape, but not before Xylo and Kivia manage to get some useful information out of him: the name of the person who ordered the hit on Teoritta, Mahaeyzel Zelkoff. That name shocks Kivia, as she seems to know who that is. That will have to wait until the next episode, though. What’s an even bigger shock is the reveal at the end of the episode.

I have to admit, I was impressed by how the story pulled the wool over my eyes. They really had me thinking that Boojum was Spriggan, but it was Iri all along. That’s a good red herring there! And between that and Kivia’s reaction to the name Lideo dropped, it’s safe to say that things are about to get a lot harder. I’m looking forward to it!

I Give “Sentence: Underground Investigation in District of Sodrick 2″ a 3.5/5
