'Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody' Anime Spoilers: Satoo Discovers More Truths About Salue City in Episode 3
It seems that the hardworking Ichirou may have been harboring a secret desire to get away from work after all. And even though his ultimate goal still somehow includes his job as a programmer, it also looks like nothing is going to stop this guy, who now goes by his in-game name Satoo, from enjoying his new environment on the Japanese fantasy anime series, "Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku (Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody)."
Even though it did briefly cross his mind in the previous episode, going back to his former reality has now officially become secondary to the more pressing task of exploring this mysterious game environment and taking advantage of the things he could learn from experiencing as much as he could of it so as to become a better game creator in the future.
Then again, who knows what the future holds for a grown man trapped in his 15-year-old body in a game world that he doesn't seem to want to leave anytime soon? Of course, this all goes back to the main question of what has been going on to Ichirou?

It all seems so strange and mysterious, but Satoo has already decided to just take things as they come, and just think about crossing the bridge back home once he gets there.
In the meantime, the next episode will take to explore more of the city of Salue together with Zena, the mage soldier he saved at the end of the premiere episode. What new revelations will this trip uncover about Zena, Satoo, and this game world as a whole?
