THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Oh shit..Mirai got hit by Saki's red arrow which means he falls for her although it's kinda strange since he already liked Saki before.

It's also obvious Saki and his angel are using him for their own plans. Glad to see they animated the flying scene. They almost made that look surreal. Definitely felt like the episode made an impact in showcasing Mirai and Saki's relationship.

Man... things are getting interesting in this. As cute as Nasse is, I like Saki's angel, Revel as well. He's cool. Looks like Mirai is in full control of Saki and Revel is pulling the strings on Saki in order to handle Mirai. He's definitely a strategist. Mirai to become Saki's wings. But, thanks to Nasse being there on time, Mirai is good for now. But, he's going to protect Saki nonetheless because he's already in love with her which is cool. LOL

The biggest problem they all have is the Metropoliman. He's going to be a big problem for all of them. It was an alright episode IMO. Nothing too special but looking forward to the next episodes and where this is going.

That God candidate turned out to be Saki, Mirai's childhood friend and she pierced him with that red arrow, but it won't change a thing as he was already in love with her to begin with, but now he would do everything she asks him for.
Obviously her angel isn't special rank, so taking advantage of Mirai's inconvenience to the fullest is the obvious thing to do. Good thing that Nasse got to know about this in time and now both Mirai and Saki with their respective angels will work together, would be interesting to see how long.

Metropoliman doing those usual dealings, and he wants a talk with other god candidates, don't know what he's upto but atleast him being near would always lead to something.
Hoping for some action next time.

Damn, man got hit by Saki's red arrow but he's already in love with her. Saki's angel looks dope as hell. The flying scene looked dope as hell. Well, Nasse managed to save Mirai's butt in the end.

Well Saki has an angel too that was to expect and she throw the red arrow on MC and he got caught so easily... they're doing an alliance but I don't know what to think about it I just can't trust her and her angel so far, anyway the big meet-up organized by Metropoliman is sure really tense so far, he's immunized to arrows with his shield? wtf

The red arrow on someone already in love with you. A bit overkill, but gets the job done.

Saki's another God candidate, and her Red Arrow signifies to the person being shot to fall in love with her, which caught Mirai off-guard.

However, Mirai is already in love with her since young, so the spell's effect really isn't any effective at all, while Saki's Angel of Trickery (Revel) questions him using her as a vessel. And since she doesn't have the blessing of the Wings, Mirai has to act for her, with the whole flying scene, actually not looking bad at all. Good thing there's Nasse to stop Mirai in his tracks and take the rational call to protect her 24/7.

Welp, Metropoliman is a threat to draw out the other candidates, which doesn't fit well for a battle royale such as this in the eyes of the Gods. More crimes and crime-fighting situations follow, but it's not doing the trick, so trapping them in a "peaceful resolution" is the next logical step.

Both Mirai and Saki are undercover to protect their identities while the live TV broadcast follows, it's excruciating to wait. And indeed there's Metropoliman, and 2 others with Red Arrows. But it all remains to see whether they're the real or fake ones.

Getting deeper into the rabbit hole bit by bit...

Great episode. Mirai is hit with the red arrow by Saki chan and falls deeply in love with her (though he already is to begin with). Since Saki doesn’t have any wings he is ordered by Saki to become her wings so she can dodge arrows. It seems Revel’s plan was to either get Mirai killed by Metropoliman or for Mirai to kill Metropoliman so Saki could receive his or Metropolimans wings and white arrow. We also got to see Metropoliman’s face and angel who is named Meyza. Metropoliman has also laid a trap for the other candidates and it seems that Nasse has yet again forgotten to tell Mirai another fact xD. At the stadium, there are quite a few God candidates. There are also 2 other Metropolimans-blue and yellow. However, the red arrows they fire at him can’t pierce his armour…

Looking forward to the next episode!

Mirai seeing that angel seemed like a bad thing at first but it worked out since his childhood friend/crush was the Angel's god candidate. Saki certainly is an interesting girl, I wonder why she was chosen to be a god candidate. Her angel certainly has a sharp tongue trying to manipulate Mirai while he was under the spell of that red arrow. Those red arrows really do work wonder completely overriding the mind. Saki didn't make Mirai do anything horrible so that's good, just using Mirai for his wings since Saki angel isn't high enough level for that. When they were flying around the scenery was really pretty, this show has consistently so far kept looking amazing with its visuals. I'm glad that they just waited out the red arrow time limit and now Mirai and Saki are a real team. Metropoliman figured out his warning was a bit of overkill and dialed it back. Trying to set that trap for the other candidates at the baseball stadium, but maybe its a bit more elaborate that your standard trap.

Well that escalated quickly. I didn't think Mirai would get struck by a red spear this easily. It was cringe to see him simping for his childhood friend but Ig it's only logical since he legitimately had a crush on her since childhood.

Both Saki and Mirai going to the stadium was a terrible decision. I can't see this ending well for them.

I really wonder what's the reason for Saki's gloomy face. She's probably hiding some dark past. But hopefully she'll cheer up more with Mirai.

Every god candidate being Japanese is kind of bad writing.

So that angel at the school belongs to Mirai's childhood friend and crush, Saki, and they're teaming up for now as they try to figure out how to go about dealing with Metropoliman. I wonder if Metropoliman plans to kill those 2 other God candidates that appeared at the stadium. Doing that in front of all those people would certainly not be a good look for his whole "hero of justice" shtick.

Wow this shit is pissing me off, first he could have avoided everything if he wasn't a Beta male and kept walking. And now he's Red Arrowed so I like him even less. Also what a bitch she is,. You are going to shoot your childhood Friend and force him to love you? He wouldn't have done that to her. I seriously hate him right now Red Arrowed. Before he was a soft weakling who was broken by life (justifiably) and now he's a Simp
. Also don't you know one of you WILL die? It has to end with one candidate doesn't it? This character has mush for brains lol. Also GOING yo the stadium? When you know it's a trap? He's a weakling who can't fight, and has a weak will, he's not going to be able to fight Metropoliman or anyone else, why would he think that was a good idea? Especially since he couldn't hide his reaction to seeing Saki's Angel, so obviously he's too stupid to hide his reaction in this big situation or at least experience dictates. I really do like this Anime but man the MC is irritating to me at times.

A detail is that animation is very static sometimes but it didn't bother my experience much, plus the Mirai was hit with an arrow from another candidate to become a god, although he feels something for Saki, plus this turnaround in ending was amazing looking forward to the next episodes.

No one can see HIS wings, but people would be freaked out if someone suddenly disappears from school like that wouldn't they?

You're also forgetting everyone can see Metropoliman "Floating" around and the other armored guys too, so, technically you're wrong in this take.

I have found nothing appealing about this series so far. It's below mid imo. The fucking one Angel actually says something smart and tells them to just stay at home and watch on TV...but no...they go to the stadium. This kind of stuff has been done before and 3 episodes in it's just not interesting.

Wow me.

I’m starting to get worried that this will be more boring than I anticipated. The love interest is even more of a wet blanket than the MC and this anime takes itself way too seriously for what it is. I’ll give it 2 more episodes, but I don’t get the feeling it will be improving by that time.

Bruh, Mirai just easily get shot from behind. Fortunately its just the red arrow, and more great thing was, its Saki, his childhood crush. Yep, about the truth, the angel, Revel, was looking for a partner to protect Saki from that stupid candidacy. More importantly about the fact that her lacking the wing to protect herself from the white arrow. Why her choosing the red arrow, though? No answer, just a plot device reason. The opening already spoiling that girl immixture, no surprise at all with her part. Though the later part with the plan and another minor detail about Revel actually decent enough to fill the remaining duration.

The next scene, i get to see Metropoliman angel, exactly from the poster, and revealed to be the one whose propose the direct idea to win the God's title. Alright, as simple same as Nasse, it seems. Metropoliman changed the tactic considering the previous 'goodwill' was not much benefiting him. In summary, the opening suggest that scene, more power ranger coming up to make a deal with him. Then, something confusing happened. Why? Another week to be wait to answer that simple question.

Whoa! What a coincidence! Even Mirai's childhood friend and long-time crush is a god candidate, and she shot him with a red arrow! Welp, that's clearly beneficial for Mirai. lmao

Nasse and Revel's interaction is so cute. lmao

Another cliffhanger. Metropoliman is really powerful, he can even block red arrow. His guardian angel also looks problematic.

Wow so many negative comments here and there! Throwing out real world logics to bash it, remember it’s an anime? If you go back to any of your fav anime I bet you’ll find 1 or 2 such holes in it but you are too blind to notice it.
I’m liking this anime and love it’s a 24 eps show in this world of 11 ep hero summoning esekai era so I hope it’ll be a success. The characters are also likable but sometimes they can be annoying for watchers, understand they are high schoolers and some of have gone through shits like losing their both parents, etc and it looks like others are also living alone (so far) looks like most of them are mentally not stable in the story.

Getting hit by the red arrow did nothing but amplify Mirai's simping lmao. I wonder what happened to Saki for her to be a God candidate as well. She most probably tried to unalive also, but what's the reason for it. She's living alone, so it's either her parents are gone as well or she cut herself off from them.

Mirai is really not a good MC, after all the talk of keeping Nasse away so that other god candidates don't find him, he just gawks at the angel (tbh, I think it would be a normal reaction but i guess after seeing meruko chan's god level ignorance i had my hopes up).

The long talk was also boring. It became a bit interesting towards the end.

I was hoping since he already had a crush on Saki he’d be completely immune to the red arrow’s effects, and then he plays along until he wrings enough information out of Saki and her angel.

But no, it made no real difference. Sigh. Guess the writers have to force their alliance somehow.
