What Happened in the Previous Episode?
Episode 8, titled “The Dark Forest Stratum,” saw Boxxo, Lammis, and Hulemy unexpectedly transported to a new and dangerous area. This stratum was a plant-based environment where the very forest itself was antagonistic toward adventurers. Upon arrival, they discovered that the teleportation issues were linked to a magic mark placed on Boxxo during a previous confrontation with the Menagerie of Fools, inadvertently causing him to tamper with the teleport circles.
The group aided locals facing problems, eventually uncovering a traitor working with the Netherlord. Despite a pressing need to stop the Netherlord and the Menagerie of Fools, the episode concluded with Boxxo and Lammis preparing to confront the floor boss of the Dark Forest, a decision that paused their immediate pursuit of the main antagonists.
Expectations for Episode 9 and Beyond
With the release of Episode 9, “Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon Season 2” pushes deeper into its overarching narrative. The series, animated by Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ, continues to adapt the popular light novel series by Hirukuma. Season 2 is directed by Takashi Yamamoto, with the main cast reprising their roles.
The second season picked up directly after the events of the first, with Boxxo and his friends embroiled in the ongoing struggle against the Netherlord’s general. Boxxo, who was a vending machine enthusiast in his past life before being reincarnated, utilizes his unique abilities – such as dispensing various items and generating forcefields – to assist his party. While powerful, his actions are still limited by his nature as a vending machine, requiring cash input for products and expending his money supply.
