Isekai Quartet Episode 05

'''Explosion! Talent Show' (炸裂！こんしんかい Sakuretsu! Kon Shinkai) is the fifth episode of Isekai Quartet''. It was first broadcasted on May 7, 2019.

Summary
Roswaal begins the talent show and selects the participants by picking a name at random from a box full of papers. The first one is Erich to the shock of the assistant teacher. Erich is confused at why he must participate until the others in the class remind him that it would be "fun". Roswaal even encourages him to set an example. Erich seeing no way out decides to perform the Empire's national anthem to the class. Darkness comments with excitement that Erich is purposely humiliating himself, noting the eyes of derision and amusement of everyone. Kazuma listening to her exhilaration asks her stop when she wishes to be looked at in the same dull eyes of the entire class. Erich in angst finishes his anthem and Roswaal asks the next participant, Subaru, to perform. Eager to show his talent, Subaru takes out a string and creates a string figure of Tokyo Tower. However the reaction of the class is less than stellar.

Rem is next to show which she has Erich hold a watermelon whilst she activates her oni blood and accurately destroys the fruit with her ball and chain. Tanya watching believes this show is to demonstrate each other strengths and decides she can't let her guard down especially with Ainz.

When Weiss begins to perform, he apologizes for not having a particular talent but then begins removing his first button. Tanya not wanting to be embarrassed suddenly casts magic and electrocutes him. Tanya's subordinates carry Weiss from the front of the class, the girl then apologizes for the act.

Darkness is called to show her talent, but she asks for some help which Grantz volunteers. She explains that her talent is her strong body and to demonstrate this she will have Grantz whip her. Grantz is stunned at the masochistic act he is participating in and the class ashamed at him view him as a scumbag.

Next to be called is Aqua who is uninterested in talent show. Kazuma finds this strange as the goddess is always looking to show off, but Aqua states she doesn't do performances on command. Roswaal states that's too bad, piquing Aqua's interest who asks if magic is okay. The lord states it is fine which causes Aqua to eagerly change her mind, and decides to perform a spell only a goddess can perform: [Sacred Turn Undead]. Obviously an attempt to eliminate Ainz, Kazuma smacks her on the head. Aqua objects stating why a goddess like herself should be in the same room as monsters like Ainz and the Floor Guardians. Roswaal then thanks Aqua and Kazuma for their husband and wife comedy routine.

Out of time Roswaal asks who would like to be the last to perform for today. He is answered by Megumin who raises her hand. Kazuma laments out loud that Darkness and Aqua have already humiliated their group with their poor performances, and questions her sanity on following in their stead. Megumin, however, is confident she will put on a good act by casting her explosion magic, through Kazuma points out that is just her usual stick.

Roswaal not wanting her to destroy the classroom moves the class outside in the yard. He even sets up a target for her (a statue of Pandora's Actor). While Kazuma remains doubtful she can pull off a good performance, Ainz is interested in seeing the spell. Megumin then casts her explosion and creates a crater where the target was before collapsing from mana exhaustion in a satisfied heap. Roswaal compliments it to be a excellent spell and decides to end the talent show for today, but is interrupted by Ainz who wishes to show off his talent.

Thinking on what to cast he recalls an event at a New Year's party. Calling forth his magic he awes them with his Super-tier Magic and casts a spell that creates snow. To the wonder of all the class they are amazed and begin to enjoy the snow as it falls around them.
