Wow. Can't believe my highlight of the Winter season (and arguably of the 2020s overall) is finally over. As a source reader, I could complain about some cuts here and there (source readers for nearly anything can), but the pacing we got is much better than 99% of light novel adaptations will ever get. Despite not being perfect (especially the visuals, which were sometimes very rough), it deserves a 10/10 from me, and arguably a top10 in my favorites spot. This really was our True Peak.

I don't believe we'll ever get another season, so please, read the light novels. They're amazing.

If they end it here that would be the biggest cliffhanger in anime history. There’s gotta be at least one actual fight in the tournament, cmon.

Biggest cliffhangers for me were probably Getbackers and Claymore. I'd put Hunter X Hunter (1999) but eventually that got fixed with the 2011 anime. This will probably rank up there if there's no continuation.

Can you explain why its so dangerous if people knew who the true demon king was? Also what the deal with the cloth strap was. And why the Paradox guy is like we can stop investigating shiki and the hero?

I think it's bcuz if people knew that the true demon king was a visitor it would create prejudice against the visitors or atleast something like that

the cloth was from the uniform she wore. I assume this world would have a way to discern that its from the Distant World.

Keep in mind the people deciding to burn the evidence and hide the truth that the True Demon King was a Visitor are Visitors themselves. They're wary that releasing that information would draw a target on the backs of all Visitors to avoid a future TDK.

As for why he says they're done investigating, its because further information wouldn't be helpful. He found out its a visitor, further investigation risks the secret getting out. He's ready to move on.

Maybe everyone will hunt down travelers in case they become a demon lord like shiki, i assumed the cloth scrap is something from the distant world

She's dead 100% as it came directly from the narrator's voice.

I will be seriously annoyed if they end it here after all this build-up. It'll be like No Game No Life all over again. I'd avoid buying the LNs out of sheer spite and look for a synopsis online instead.

Well, I think this is still a better place to stop than any point in the next few volumes, and the series is nowhere near popular enough to be continued indefinitely.
