Guild no Uketsukejou Desu ga, Zangyou wa Iya nano de Boss o Solo Toubatsu Shiyou to Omoimasu [Season 1 Episode 11]

Episode 11 Review: “Guild no Uketsukejou Desu ga, Zangyou wa Iya nano de Boss o Solo Toubatsu Shiyou to Omoimasu” – Alina Goes Super Saiyan!

If you’ve been following Guild no Uketsukejou Desu ga, Zangyou wa Iya nano de Boss o Solo Toubatsu Shiyou to Omoimasu (or Girumasu for short), you know that Alina, the guild receptionist-turned-boss-slayer, is all about efficiency—especially when it comes to avoiding overtime. But Episode 11 throws her (and us) into an emotional whirlwind as she’s forced to confront something she’s been avoiding: caring about people.

The Plot Thickens (and So Does the Gore)

This episode picks up with Jade and his party, the Silver Swords, in deep trouble against a Dark God—a monstrous relic from an ancient war. The fight is brutal, and Jade, the party’s tank, is left bloodied and barely conscious. Meanwhile, Alina, who’s usually too busy clocking out to care about adventurers, senses something’s off and rushes to the scene. What follows is a spectacle of golden auras, violet lightning, and Alina absolutely annihilating the Dark God mid-monologue. Fans on MyAnimeList couldn’t stop raving about this moment:

“Alina going SSJ and wiping the boss was sick. Unexpected. She’s shaping up to be the best girl of the season for me.”
“That was interesting. So much of the ancient world here was destroyed because they created these ‘Dark Gods’ who are basically magical bio-weapons?”

The fight animation is crisp, and Alina’s sheer power is a visual treat. But what really stands out is the emotional weight behind her actions. For the first time, she’s not just fighting to avoid paperwork—she’s fighting to save someone. And that someone happens to be Jade, the guy who’s been shamelessly flirting with her since Day 1.

Jade x Alina: The Tsundere Romance We Didn’t Know We Needed

Jade’s near-death state had fans freaking out—not just because of his heroic sacrifice, but because of how hot he looked while bleeding out (yes, the internet is a strange place). One fan put it perfectly:

“Jade was cool, he got his reward too lol. Alina saves the day but there’s ofc more dark gods. For now back to her overtime. Happy for them all.”

The chemistry between Jade and Alina is undeniable. Even as he’s on the brink of death, Jade’s last thought is, “I wish I could’ve looked at her more.” Meanwhile, Alina, who’s spent the entire series rolling her eyes at him, loses it when she finds him injured. The moment she offers him her half-drunk energy drink (an indirect kiss, as Jade cheekily points out) is pure gold. Fans are shipping them hard:

“Best episode!! Ahhh my haters to lovers ship is going strong lmao.”
“The romance vibe between her and Jade is really cool.”

The Dark God: Underwhelming or Just Outclassed?

Not everyone was sold on the villain, though. Some fans felt the Dark God was forgettable, with one commenting:

“Everything she fought so far is just so forgettable.”

Others argued that Alina’s overwhelming power made the fight feel too easy:

“The part where she randomly gets super powers and can easily beat the bad guy who could have easily won cringed me so bad.”

But let’s be real—Alina skipping the villain’s final speech and just ending him was hilarious. As one fan put it:

“Great episode, I love how the dark god was murdered mid-sentence, too many MCs let them babble on forever, not Alina, she all outta fucks. lol”

The Verdict: A Turning Point for Alina

This episode marks a shift in Alina’s character. She’s no longer just the receptionist who hates overtime—she’s someone who’s starting to care about the people around her. The fight scene, the emotional stakes, and the budding romance all come together to make this one of the strongest episodes of the season.

As one fan summed it up:

“This was the best episode so far for me, some nice action, they still managed to slip in some comedy bits to keep it fun. And the VA (sub) was outstanding.”

If you’ve been on the fence about Girumasu, Episode 11 is the one that might just pull you in. Alina’s growth, Jade’s charm, and the sheer absurdity of a receptionist soloing gods—what’s not to love?

Final Rating: 4.5/5 – A near-perfect blend of action, emotion, and humor. Now, let’s see how long Alina can keep her secret identity under wraps!
