My heart went out to Gordon when he finally understood that his real strength comes from his friends and not just sitting alone in the dark doing training by himself

Gordon wandering into the wilderness for his training just to have Yami and the squad completely forget he even left was such a classic moment for him

A food monster with actual arms and legs was weird even for this show but it fits Charmy perfectly even if this was a training episode

Watching Gordon wander the woods alone just to figure out he belongs with his friends was a sweet moment and way better than a generic battle scene

You can tell the art quality is stepping up lately because those cotton magic scenes looked great and the whole episode had a really cozy feeling to it

Gordon is an absolute treasure for how much he cares about his friends even when they accidentally leave him in the dust while they go on missions

I know it's just filler, but I actually liked seeing Gordon try to get stronger on his own even if he failed pretty hard against that monster. It's kind of sad how the Black Bulls always forget him, and the title about his millennium of loneliness felt way too real when they all went to eat without him at the end.

Watching the sheep cooks lose control because Charmy forgot her passion for food was hilarious and the animation on the burger monsters looked surprisingly clean

I really liked this training episode even though it is anime original content because seeing Gordon and Charmy get some attention is always a win for me and it felt like Gordon was moving past his lonely phase, but I do wish they had dived into his family more or maybe let Charmy go dwarf form during her chef battle

I felt so bad for Gordon when he realized everyone left him behind again but at least he got to have that big meal with his friends at the end

Charmy trying to make mana-enhanced food, only for it to turn into a monster, was something I did not see coming at all.

Asta telling Charmy that her food tasted bad because it lacked the desire to make people happy was such a classic Asta moment and it actually worked

The animation looked really sharp when Charmy was fighting her own giant food and her cooking eating people because she was unhappy is the most bizarre thing ever

Noelle showing up in the middle of these solo training stories felt a bit random but the visuals were great and Charmy remains the most chaotic member

That friendship speech Gordon gave at the end felt a bit cheesy but it makes sense for his character since he just wants to belong

The attempt Gordon made to copy Mereoleona's training style while being the most soft spoken guy in the world was never going to end well for him

Finding out that Charmy needs to cook with love to make things taste good was really funny and watching her take down those burger monsters made the whole kitchen scene for me

Gordon finally got some focus after just mumbling in the back and it made me emotional when he realized he needs the Black Bulls to grow stronger

Gordon really thought his poison magic was going to do something against a creature that lives in poison and watching him realize that was hilarious

My heart breaks every time Gordon gets left out, but seeing him realize his magic is fueled by his friendship with the rest of the squad was actually really touching and I also love how this show does these side stories because Charmy fighting her own food is the kind of chaos that makes the Black Bulls feel like a real family

EPISODE CONTEXT

This episode lands between the 'A Black Deep-Sea Story' arc and the upcoming 'In Zara's Footsteps' storyline, functioning as a deliberate cooldown that enriches the cast before the narrative ramps back up. It uses the downtime to develop Charmy and Gordon individually, layering in motivation and personal stakes that pay off as the series enters its final stretch. With roughly 30 episodes remaining, these character investments help anchor the larger conflicts still ahead.
