Or maybe the spider demon lord is "a" Kumoko? with how independent her 3 minds have been acting this episode, I started thinking that they might get corrupted and then somewhow be inserted into one of the archs, who thn evolve and ...

there were lots of convenient scenes this episode, though. the puppet not attacking while Kumoko was fighting the arcs, but then suddenly after all deciding to act was contrieved.

But otherwise great episode, and yes, almost no humans <3

Favorite scene: When Kumoko was severly wounded, hopped to the ceiling and started laughing before starting her attack. Like she had any business laughing like that in her position, lol, but it was adorable.
