LOL, the Amakusa are the good guys. And this was all evil plot of the Roman Catholics to kill Orsola. NICE with the cross Stiyl!!!, You mess with the cross, you mess with us! Glad to see Stiyl (representing Anglican) go help to fight against those evil nuns. HE is REALLY STRONG ally! I like Stiyl's fire magic, they're literally "BURNING" flamethrowers!. And those nuns are really insane, ughhh, poking their ear drums out like that. Very good episode!

I seriously went "wtf" when they stabbed their ears. You could argue they should have used Earplugs or something, but I guess the intention was to show how fanatical the nun's are.

Anyway, I'm digging this arc so far. Hopefully the ending is good.

Earplugs apparently aren't standard issue for Catholic battle nuns. Obviously a pair of fountain pens are necessary though - it's important to always have a back up writing utensil.

4/5

Plot that focuses on the clash between the various ideologies, does not advance that much this time. Story full of action, pleasant and with some nice twist. Design shaky, with ups and downs, too bad. Often the scene svoge Tamni in the dark, the backgrounds do not appreciate it on this occasion. Animations adequate.
Rating of 4/5, does not penetrate, yet the animated series! ^ ^ "

Hey the nuns actions may seem fanatical to us, but isn't that due to the fact that we're observing this from a different perspective. To us there is no solid evidence on the existence of the supernatural or magic, but in their world there is. I mean there are even angels, what's to the deny the existence of gods, plus, even if they're deaf telepathy's possible, no and so is healing magic.

The nuns stabbing their own ears was metal as hell.

I find the fact that nuns are running around with swords and fighting, getting burned, and sliced up so hilarious. It's just so out of place.

Idk,how I missed out (or maybe I just forgot),but now it makes sense.They gouged out their ears so they wouldn't hear Sheol Fear.

Wh-aaaaat. That was some dark twist. Those creepy faces... The roman catholic church really is creepy in that show xD

Index ''Sheol Fear'' is damn too OP. Well, until that ''thing''...

Touma getting back to his old habitude to go by the front door while not having a single plan :P
For someone so unlucky, he sure is ironicaly lucky.

Well .. that is just immoral . like Catholics lost it's virtues in this arc .
Felony of religious adversity . Literally disgraceful .
Looks like the whole conflict was just a set-up by a third party ~ nice .. I guess .
They deserved getting served under the service of our main 'servers' ~ .
Great episode !!!

Orsola is such a beauty <3 (insanely big chest)

That glimpse of Itsuwa in action was very cool!
and the ost played along Sheol fear was amazing.

ugh I already had hard time when I read the ears stabbing part in the novel, now seeing it again >< but kinda relieved it wasn't very "detailed" like the novel ._.
overall great episode.

This episode was kinda hard to watch thanks to being, like most Poles, Roman Catholic myself (at least officially. Unofficially - hard to tell, I'm too liberal to follow any religion strictly to the letter). I really hope that these nuns were misled and not all catholics are evil there.

They can't execute someone who is truly believer with no sins?.. Oh come on.. ;D Who needs official execution, when just some "accident" can happen.. Like a snake entering the sleeping place, for example.. Or a sudden fire.. Or suddenly she fell from the window.. Come on..
Well, honestly.. That whole team gathering felt a bit epic.. ;P
Holy sisters bombing church so eagerly.. Just lol.. ;D
So.. They pierced their ears, and now deaf?.. Well.. Dark..
I just can't really.. Some things, especially battles.. They are so absurd, that it's probably done with intention.. ;D Well, it's funnily entertaining for now, I guess.. On the other hand, there is that ears piercing and losing your hearing.. Well.. They decided to do that themselves, I guess.. Still a bit unexpected darkness in this fest of funny absurdity..

Awww... the Amakusas are still on the right path despite Kanzaki being gone, seeing her smile sure is something.

Final battle has begun, I loved this part in the novel with the fight being evenly balanced despite the Roman Catholics outnumbering Amakusa + Touma and co and Index using Sheol Fear.

But damn am I cringing hard at the ear stabbing scene, pure devotion can be a scary thing sometimes
