BOFURI: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense Season 2 Episode 11: Release Date & Streaming Guide

BOFURI: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense is a Japanese light novel series written by Yuumikan and illustrated by Koin. The anime adaptation of the light novel premiered in January 2020 and was produced by the studio Silver Link.

The story follows Kaede Honjo, a high school student who is new to the virtual reality massively multiplayer online game (VRMMO) called New World Online. She initially plays the game as a way to bond with her friend, Risa Shiromine, but soon becomes obsessed with it.

Determined not to get hurt in the game, Kaede (who goes by the username Maple) decides to pour all her stat points into defense, making her character nearly invincible. As she progresses through the game, Maple gains a reputation as a powerful player who can take on powerful enemies with ease.

Maple’s unique approach to the game also attracts the attention of other players, including a guild leader named Sally and a mysterious player named “Pain.” Together, Maple and Sally form their own guild, which they name “Maple Tree.” The two friends and their guildmates go on a series of adventures, exploring the world of New World Online and encountering dangerous monsters and rival players along the way.

As Maple continues to max out her defense and gain new abilities, she becomes a formidable force in the game. However, her reliance on defense also means that she sometimes struggles in offensive situations. With the help of her friends, Maple must learn to balance her defensive strategy with more offensive tactics in order to overcome the challenges that lie ahead.

BOFURI: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense: Episode 10 Recap

Previously in the anime, we see the Eighth event commence, and Maple was assigned to the most difficult level. The group split into two to collect medals which they can exchange for skills with Sally, Yui, and Mai in Maple’s team. Maple and her team found a hidden location with the help of the map Sally obtained. They won the first medal by battling mud monsters when they reached the hidden location.

Kasumi’s party was also able to obtain a medal after defeating strange ninja-type assailants using Iz’s trap. Afterwards, the groups reunite and set up a base in an underground dungeon. They use traps set up around the base to keep the wave of monsters attacking them from coming through. The next day, at the beginning of day 2 of event, a pitch-black light places a barrier between the members of Maple Tree. 

Everyone begins to panic after being separated, and Sally becomes extremely anxious for Maple’s safety. Sally reminds herself that Maple is strong and she will be fine. On the other hand, Maple transforms herself into something truly bizarre – a beacon of light to help guide other members and help them locate her. Maple has transformed into odd things over the course of anime, like an angel, demon mecha and monster, but this was truly novel.

Maple’s plan to help other members locate her becomes somewhat successful when Mii stumbles across her and lands on Ignis’ back. We see some cute pairings due to the black light, like Koromu and Misery, Payne and Mii, and Marx and Iz. Perhaps we can look forward to some romance bud between these pairs.
