Tensei Goblin dakedo Shitsumon Aru? pauses broadcast: episode 7 arrives November 16

The Tensei Goblin dakedo Shitsumon Aru? anime took a break this Monday, November 9. Instead of episode 7, a recap special covering the first six episodes aired, and the next premiere is set for November 16, 2026.

The series' official X/Twitter account had already given notice on November 5. The announcement asked fans for questions to be answered by Tsutaya, an original character who serves as the series' ambassador. That material was used for episode 6.5, which reviews what has happened so far.

The pause applies to all platforms. ABEMA and Amazon Prime Video, which stream one week ahead in Japan, also stopped. And Crunchyroll, which airs it outside that country, will resume with episode 7 on the same November 16.

A mid-season break

It's not unusual for a series to pause halfway through its run, though it's more common in two-cour titles. In this case, production is handled by studio BAKKKA, little known to audiences, and the break for the special gives it time to work on the next episodes.

The good news is that there's already a confirmed date. If the delay were due to production problems, we wouldn't even have that. That said, with the time change in the United States, Crunchyroll now airs the series at 8:00 a.m. in central Mexico and several Central American countries.

Tensei Goblin dakedo Shitsumon Aru?, known in English as So What's Wrong with Getting Reborn as a Goblin?, adapts the manga published by Shueisha.

For now, all that's left is to hope there are no more interruptions. Did you watch the recap special, or do you prefer to skip straight to episode 7? Tell us in the comments.
