Bogus Skill "Fruitmaster" episode 1 recap

Bogus Skill "Fruitmaster" episode 1, titled The Only Ingredient, established the anime's lore. Any person who eats a skill fruit would be granted a skill. However, eating more than one fruit would mean certain death. Thus, when Light and Lena were granted the Fruitmaster and Sword Saint skills, the childhood friends went their own ways. Lena became an S-rank adventurer and Light became a fruit farmer.

Sometime later, the village chief left a girl named Ayla in Light's care. Since then, the girl began living with Light and helped with chores. One such day, Ayla mistakenly used skill fruits to prepare a stew. Having eaten the stew, both Light and Ayla had consumed a skill fruit. Such a development should have meant certain death for Light, but instead, he received a second skill called Sword God. Meanwhile, Ayla was granted an Appraisal skill.

Moments later, the anime saw Light and Ayla complete their first mission as adventurers. While they were at the guild, Light spotted Lena, but his childhood friend seemingly didn't recognize him.

Bogus Skill "Fruitmaster" episode 2 will most likely reveal why Lena acted like she didn't recognize Light. This is because the anime gave fans some glimpses of the next episode.

Light was notably shocked by Lena's reaction upon seeing her. Lena herself was shown to have teared up, suggesting that she was forced not to interact with anyone. The one responsible for this could be her party member who will seemingly strike Lena in the next episode. As for Ayla, she will get to eat her pizza in the next episode.
