Reincarnated as a Sword Episode 11 Review and Recap – Worthy Adventurer
In this episode, we saw another example of the deep connection between Fran and Teacher. Previously, we witnessed how Fran and Teacher got separated, and Fran found herself in deep trouble because she could not use any powers. Now, on top of fighting with the trickster spider, she will also have to protect the two adventurers that got lost with her.
Back with the group of C and D-ranked adventurers, the situation is tense as well. They form a group where Krad and the others go in different directions to find the missing adventurers and Fran. Amanda is with Fran’s sword Teacher, and she too is desperately trying to search for her beloved new friend.
Seeing there is no other choice, Teacher summons a beast using his new skill and risks exposing his secret to Amanda. He calls forth the Onyx Wolf, who is a master at sniffing out targets. But when he first comes forward, he becomes unstable and sends Teacher flying.
Amanda even decides to cut it down, not knowing that it was Teacher who summoned this beast. Teacher had to interrupt and tell her that he is the sword that Fran uses, and he called for this beast so that he could find Fran. To stabilise the beast, Amanda then suggests giving it a name, and Teacher decides on Urushi.

They quickly start their search while Fran fights for her life and even manages to save the other two victims while being poisoned herself. But just at the moment, Fran was about to hit the trickster spider, Teacher rushes in and injures it.
The tearful meeting between the teacher and the disciple really makes you think how special their bond is. Fran, indeed, is worthy of the sword as even when she was injured, she could withstand every blow and protect her peers.
But an interesting thing happened in the end. When Amanda asked, what is the story behind the talking sword, Fran agreed to tell her everything. So, now one more person knows the secret of Teacher, and that is Amanda.
Verdict
I liked this episode as it again solidified how strong Fran has become. She can easily kick ass even without the power of the sword, and rescue others by herself. Not only as a fighter, but Fran also grew as an individual because now she can believe in someone so much she can willingly disclose her secrets, just like she did with Amanda. All in all, it was a satisfactory watch that keep you entertained till the end. You can watch the series on HIDIVE.
