In Episode 2, Sally decided to flee with the ogre girl that was captured in the castle. She believed that she isn’t harmful to mankind and deserves a second chance to live differently.
Just as they were about to escape successfully, a sudden explosion destroys the entire town into ashes. Who is behind this inhumane act? Is it another ogre? We bring you the latest episode updates of this anime.
1. Episode 3 Preview & Speculation
Episode 3 of Peach Boy Riverside is titled “Sally and Crossroads.” It will reveal the one who is responsible for the complete annihilation of Hawthorn’s town.
I think it’s the mysterious orge whom we saw walking through corpses in Episode 2. It’s already pretty clear that he is stronger than the other ogres we have seen so far.
However, I highly doubt if Sally can unleash her peach eye powers once again. And since Carrot has already lost ogre abilities, only a miracle can save them.
But let’s not be that pessimistic and consider that they somehow manage to survive, Hawthorn has nowhere else to go, and the only option left for him is to join Sally’s team.

3. Episode 2 Recap
I. Mikoto, the Infamous Orge Slayer
In Episode 2, Mikoto shows up before the ogre girl, who led Sett to the castle. He gives her five minutes to recover since she is still weak after unleashing her eye cannon on the castle.
The girl reveals that she hates humans for destroying the natural ecosystem for their selfish motives. Such a noble idea annoys Mikoto, who corrects her by saying that it’s the hatred between humans and ogres that triggers the two species to kill each other.
The little chit-chat consumes more time than what Mikoto expected, and the ogre regains her full strength. However, the following battle was pretty much one-sided, where Mikoto, the infamous ogre slayer, totally dominates his enemy.
Even the final cannon has no effect on him, and he leaves after cutting down her horns and her right eye, so that she can never use her ogre powers ever again.
He could have easily killed her but decided to let her live after seeing a mirror image of himself in her eyes. No matter how many times he denies, we know the truth behind his generosity.
II. Sally vs. The Walrus Ogre
Meanwhile, Sally is up against the monstrous walrus-like ogre named, Sett. He has already lost his right arm while fighting Sally, so he resorts to his strongest attack in his arsenal without any hesitation.
To everyone’s surprise, Sally not only survives the attack, but she also finishes the monster with a single swing of her sword. Frau witnesses this miracle right before her eyes.
Later, she wakes up in a health care center where Hawthorn and Frau looking after her. However, it seems that she remembers nothing about her heroic deeds and has no clue about the powers hiding within her.
III. An Unexpected Explosion
Hawthorn leads her to the cell where the girl ogre is held captive. She has lost her powers after her battle with Mikoto, and is no more a threat to humanity.
Surprisingly, Sally decides to give her a second chance after learning that she will be executed if she stays here. So, she plots a prison break and takes her away.
Just as they were about to escape successfully, a massive explosion wipes out the entire village. Sally and his friends barely manage to survive. Who is behind this inhumane act? We will find that out in the next episode.
