Isekai Quartet 2 Episode 01

'''Join the Fight! Transfer Student' (参戦！てんこうせい Sansen! Ten Kōsei) is the first episode of Isekai Quartet 2''. It was first broadcasted on January 14, 2020.

Summary
A young man stands at the door of the class; briefly giving the seated student a glance before sliding the door shut. Kazuma asks who that was. The others, including Tanya, note the stranger's rudeness, though Subaru believes it may have been the strange company and he may have been scared. Though the others state that was his reaction when he first saw Ainz Ooal Gown and his minions. Ainz agrees that in comparison to Subaru, the young man at the door reacted within acceptable standards. Emilia then asks Roswaal L Mathers if that was their new transfer student, but Roswall tells her that he is the new transfer student for Class 1 and he is known as Shield. Briefly confused at the name, a question is raised on who is their transfer student for Class 2. Roswaal states that their transfer student is already here and presents a kitten with wings. Subaru asks what his name is, which Megumin answers as Chomusuke. The energetic young man then asks that if a cat can be a student, shouldn't Puck qualify as well. Almost everyone is aghast at Subaru's reaction to the ridiculous situation. Tanya states that having a cat in their class shouldn't be a surprise as they have demons as fellow students, and one goddess, though Tanya doubts the claim of the latter. Aqua, flustered at being called delusional by the military girl, tries to tell Kazuma to convince the class she is an actual deity, but he ends up agreeing that she is mentally ill. Now that they have met the new student, Roswaal decides to do a seating change. Subaru thinks that Ram will be moved towards the class and thus will not be able to slack off, but she doesn't care as she never slacks off. Roswaal agrees that he is unable to see some students, like Mare Bello Fiore. The dark elf is fine where he is as he is behind Ainz. Albedo interjects that she is also blessed to stare at the right side of Ainz's face, causing Shalltear Bloodfallen and Aura Bella Fiora to gloat they are lucky to see his left and diagonal sides. Demiurge tries to remind them they are in class, but also takes the time to state his fortune at being allowed to see Ainz while paying attention to class and thus the best position. Roswaal decides to have the seat change by having all the students draw from a box. Later, the students in Class 2 are in their new seats, which places Albedo to the far left and Ainz to the right corner in the back. The Overseer Guardian is saddened by the change and demands the teacher change the seats, but she is ignored as Roswaal continues the lesson.

Outside, Naofumi Iwatani stands before the entrance of the school, contemplating on the strangeness of the world. He briefly wonders if it is the work of the Waves, but dismisses it. He wonders on the whereabouts of Raphtalia and Filo. He takes notice of an old butler who is sweeping in the courtyard. After sharing a glance at each other, the scene switches to a trailer house where the butler introduces himself as Wilhelm van Astrea and learns of Naofumi's situation, having been summoned to this world while fighting a monster with his comrades. During the fight, Naofumi's shield suddenly turned into a button that was then accidentally pressed by the incoming monster, causing space to distort and landing him in the school. While Naofumi is worried about his friends, Wilhelm encourages him that he was summoned for a reason and asks him to keep moving forward. Naofumi asks on his surety, which Wilhelm states that Naofumi reminds him of himself when he was young. Sebas Tian comes in, asking Wilhelm if he wants to go out for lunch. He is surprised by the visitor, which causes the young man to depart. After Naofumi leaves, Sebas replies to Wilhelm that he seems to be enjoying himself. Wilhelm answers that he likes watching a child grow up, eliciting an agreement from the other butler. The two decide to resume their talk about love.

Outside, Class 2 is playing a game of baseball, with Darkness at the batter's mound and Matheus Johan Weiss at the pitcher's mound. Matheus throws the ball, and Darkness misses twice. On the last throw, Darkness chooses to throw herself in front of the ball, hitting her in the chest. Almost crying out in pleasure, she tries to feign an injury, but is called out by Cocytus. At the animal pen, the Death Knight and Hamsuke have been joined by a new creature. Subaru, Aura, and Aqua are surprised by the third creature as there are supposed to be only two animals. Aqua callously uses her magic to purify the Death Knight to make the numbers two again, much to Hamsuke's horror. Meanwhile, the new creature, a large bird, introduces herself as Filo and asks if they have seen her master. But before they respond, the Death Knight re-materializes to Hamsuke's relief.

In the school, Raphtalia calls for Naofumi while walking through the empty hallways. Coming across Kazuma and Ainz, she immediately assumes the latter to be a monster and goes into a defensive stance. The two show that they mean no harm and that the world she is in is not the one she originally is from, as the same has happened to them. Raphtalia asks if they know where Naofumi is, though the pair are not familiar with the name and ask who he is. Raphtalia replies that he is the Shield Hero and that he was summoned to her world to save it, but was betrayed, falsely accused, and imprisoned. She explains that despite his hardships, he continues to protect others. She then states that he has trouble expressing himself, but is a really caring guy, which Ainz comments that he is a "tsundere". The two decide to help Raphtalia locate him.

Outside, Mare is now the batter, with Viktoriya Ivanovna Serebryakov as the pitcher. Raphtalia, Ainz, and Kazuma come to the schoolyard and see Aqua watching Filo being ridden by Aura and Subaru. Seeing Filo, Raphtalia rushes to the bird and in response, Filo throws off her riders to turn into her humanoid form. Aura, seeing the transformation, wants to have a transforming bird like Filo. Subaru, while limping, is told by Ainz of the two's circumstances. On the last pitch, Mare hits the ball which moves at incredible speeds and heads straight towards the reunited girls. Naofumi uses [Air Strike Shield] and delays the ball before rushing across the field and then activates [Second Shield] as the first one is destroyed. After the second is destroyed, Naofumi stands in front of Raphtalia and Filo and uses the shield on his arm to block the advancing ball. After a tenuous struggle, he deflects the ball out into the air. The girls, seeing their savior, happily greet their master, who is relieved that they are safe. Despite the strangeness of the new world around them, Naofumi is happy they are together and the three agree to see what comes next.
