My Isekai Life “Truly Unusual Situations” Review
My Isekai Life “Truly Unusual Situations” is the fourth episode of the My Isekai Life anime. Following Yuji’s decision to fight the dragon alone at the end of episode 3, Yuji and his slimes spring an attack on the dragon. Utilising protective barrier magic Yuji is able to avoid the dragon’s attacks, and with his fire magic concentrated in the Dagger of Kethis, stabs it in the neck so the explosion kills the dragon instantly. With the dragon mysteriously defeated Steyl leaves but Rayard suspects Yuji. Having drawn too much attention again Yuji leaves for the town of Ricaardo which, according to Tina and Lisa, is a completely ordinary place. Dryad informs Yuji dead dragons contain something called Dragon Grace, which has sprouted mushrooms around the corpse with which she can make potions, red to increase Sage skills, and Blue to restore depleted magic. As the potions brew Yuji remembers first meeting Dryad dying after an unidentified person drained her forests magic with a crystal, so he saved her with a magic transfusion then destroyed the crystal, restoring her forest. Yuji encounters a village shrouded in fog called the Village of Messias. The villagers are suspicious of his presence but allow him to leave when he assures them he was just lost. As he leaves the villagers contact an unknown person to reassure him their plan to retrieve the Dragon Grace is unaffected. Yuji makes it to where Ricaardo should be but finds the landscape covered in unnatural snow.
Defeating The Dragon
Yuji’s fight here with the dragon was much more satisfying. He needs to pull out all the stops to win but amongst that we learn that he’s always shown an unnaturally strong amount of magic and has always had an expert grasp for it even without trying. The trick is hiding it, likely why he became a tamer, as a way to hide just how seriously powerful he is. Dryad is explored a little more in this episode, though briefly it still shows enough to get a good idea of the kind of person she is, though why Yuji stays friends with her and generally keeps everyone else at a distance is still a mystery.
Great episode and I can’t wait to see what’s waiting at Ricaardo, likely more Dragon Grace or cursed items cos that snow is 100% unnatural.
