A Glimpse into Episode 14: The Origin Story of Tino Shade’s Admiration
The curtain-raiser for Season 2, Episode 14, is titled “I Want to Talk About Memories,” and it promises a dive into the heart of the story. The synopsis reveals Tino begins recounting her first encounter with Cry, declaring, “He was a god, truly…”
This is a flashback to her childhood before she became a hunter, recalling how she was saved by the Strange Grief party shortly after arriving in the Imperial Capital. Although Cry has absolutely no memory of the event, accompanying Tino as she tells her story to everyone slowly helps him piece together what really happened. This episode will explore the beginnings of Tino Shade’s deep admiration for Strange Grief—and for Cry.
From Bestselling Light Novel to TV Anime: The Phenomenon Continues
The series’ enduring appeal lies in its unique premise: Cry Andrich, who genuinely believes he is the “weakest” hunter, is constantly mistaken as the “strongest” leader by his genius childhood friends. This continuous string of misunderstandings leads the story in unexpected directions, forming an epic—and often hilarious—tale of glory and struggle.
The original light novels (Volumes 1–12 plus Short Story Collection Volume 1) are currently available, with Volume 13 slated for release on September 30, 2025. Fans who wish to keep up with the source material can also read the manga adaptation (Volumes 1–11 available from KADOKAWA’s Dengeki Comics NEXT). Find all the details on the source material at the GC Novels Special Site.
