Title: “Guild no Uketsukejou Desu ga, Zangyou wa Iya nano de Boss o Solo Toubatsu Shiyou to Omoimasu – Season 1, Episode 10: A Receptionist’s Rage and a Tank’s Abs”

Introduction
If there’s one thing Guild no Uketsukejou Desu ga has taught us, it’s that Alina Clover, the guild receptionist with a no-nonsense attitude toward overtime, is not someone you want to mess with. Episode 10, titled “A Receptionist’s Rage and a Tank’s Abs” (okay, I made that up, but it fits), delivers another explosive chapter where Alina’s secret identity teeters on the edge of exposure, and Jade, the lovable tank of the Silver Swords, gets a little too close to death for comfort.

Fans have been buzzing about this episode, and for good reason. It’s packed with action, emotional beats, and just the right amount of absurdity that makes this show so addictive. Let’s dive into why this episode stands out—and why some fans are still divided on certain aspects.

The Plot: Saving Jade (and His Abs)
The episode picks up with Jade and his party in dire straits against a Dark God—a bio-weapon from ancient times with the power to steal skills and, apparently, ruin everyone’s day. Jade, ever the self-sacrificing tank, holds the line while urging his teammates to flee. But, of course, things go south fast, and by the time Alina arrives, Jade is barely clinging to life (though, as one fan hilariously pointed out, his abs are still chef’s kiss).

Alina, fueled by rage and a desire to clock out on time, unleashes her full power, turning the tide of battle in a spectacle that fans are calling her “Super Saiyan moment.” The fight is brutal, flashy, and over way too soon for some—but that’s Alina for you. No monologues, no hesitation, just pure, unadulterated violence.

Fan Reactions: The Good, the Bad, and the Thirsty
1. The Good
– Alina’s Power-Up: Fans loved seeing Alina go all out. One commenter described her golden aura as “hyper-mega with violet lightning,” and honestly, same. It’s the kind of over-the-top action that makes anime so fun.
– Jade’s Heroism: Jade’s near-death moment had fans clutching their pearls. His selflessness and the way he looked after getting wrecked (yes, even bloody and torn up) earned him major points. As one fan put it: “Jade is so hot!! Them abs too.”
– The Ship Sails: The Alina x Jade dynamic is heating up. From Jade’s last thoughts (“I wish I could’ve looked at her more”) to Alina’s uncharacteristic concern for him, fans are eating it up.

1. The Bad
2. Pacing Issues: Some fans felt the fight was rushed. The Dark God, hyped up as a major threat, gets taken down in one episode, leaving viewers wondering if the stakes were undercut.

3. Character Decisions: The healer girl’s refusal to escape (despite being powerless) annoyed a lot of fans. One even called her “a waste of food and air.” Ouch.

4. The Thirsty

5. Let’s be real: Jade’s near-death scene had people feeling things. One fan admitted, “Jade in near-death state arouses me,” while another joked about his “bloody abs.” The internet is a wild place.

Themes and Takeaways
This episode isn’t just about flashy fights (though they’re a big part of it). It’s about Alina’s growing attachment to Jade and his party—something she’d never admit. Her usual “I hate overtime” schtick takes a backseat as she risks her cover to save them. It’s a subtle but significant shift in her character.

The lore also expands slightly, teasing more Dark Gods and ancient secrets. While some fans are skeptical about where the story goes next, others are excited for the potential.

Final Verdict
Episode 10 is a rollercoaster of emotions, action, and yes, abs. It’s not perfect—some pacing issues and questionable character choices hold it back—but it’s undeniably entertaining. Whether you’re here for the fights, the romance, or just Jade’s ridiculous durability, this episode delivers.

As one fan perfectly summed it up: “Peak anime, best tsundere of the season! Less goo.”

Rating: 4.5/5 (because no one messes with Alina’s schedule and gets away with it.)
