| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well this episode is hands down exactly what I wanted in this series. Top notch fights with intense hits and counters along with nice weapons. That fire sword wielding knight was nice as a female. Reminded me of some other girl like that in anime. Regardless her sword is fake. The real one is owned by the Archangel Uriel. The ambush was nice however KONEKO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! She disappeared, hence out of the game. Akeno facing that big breasted bitch was nice of her however she got defeated by her by thee end. Which proves she is strong. Kiba was amazing! Unlimited Blade Works ground version! In the following,  Totally though of that when I saw that special move of his. Sadly he got pawned by the Queen of Phoenix Despite that he still got rid of 3 pawns. While I do like the fact that Issei can now Amplify any special attack with his Boosted gear, I must say that it was better to see him fist and kick fight. Not to mention got the clothing shredder on the punching girl which does reveal that she has big breasts and a slender body ready for sex sadly already used by Phoenix and it got boiled in Issei’s beam so suffice to say too bad on that one Issei. At least Neural S.S.D. recording was done. Certainly the ecchi aspect of one breast out naked and bare certainly seems to have been applies to Rias. Regardless of that I think her sacrifice at the end for Issei is noble and very much emotional so kudos for the drama. Issei was pretty crazed up killing all these minions of Phoenix with his Amplified attack of Kiba. Loads of sword piercing made the girls looks like sad meat on a stick so to speak. The fan service was kept at a decent rate to make outboasting of the action far better. Which should have been done from the start. The ecchi in this series is OK but when you have shit like Asia’s drama being ruined by ecchi it looks like too much is not good sometimes. That being said Seikon no Qwaser made that mistake too. Point being too much is just plain not good in some parts. Rias one breast out despite the action was at least well placed in the different segments. I am sure many would agree on the points they showed were good. Finally PHOENIX YOU THE MAN! Pawning Issei like in the following,  Pfffffffff! That will teach him good. Phoenix is immortal and you nor Rias really is. That is the difference you failed at. Less you can prove yourself by shredding your body for some OVER 9000 immortal killer move, I doubt you will win. So I think of Issei. Seriously this series should have been loads more about fights like this. I would have liked it a little more let’s say leave it at that for now. About preview, BAD END? Oh no! No way is Rias really getting married to Phoenix? A wedding crash is to be called for! Issei…….can he pull that off and save Rias? May edit later. |

| Akeno got pwned by Phoenix's second in command by underhanded tactics. Issei using his sacred gear to borrow Yuta's power was awesome and pwned all but that annoying gothic lolita, why did she have to remain standing, those Neko chicks were fast moving, fast attacking, and cute. Looks like we get the bad ending as Rias agrees to marry Phoenix with one big desperate hug to save Issei's life and that means cruel old Phoenix wins but the battle was impossible to win anyway because he self regenerates in seconds meaning he's immortal and even then you have that cruel busty underhanded 2nd in command that would finish everyone off afterwards. |

Issei will need dumber luck than most harem protags to even have a chance of touching Phoenix, however he could borrow powers from any of his harem or Yuta again like in this ep for area effect or range so he has a chance C. Perfection in anime, keep dreaming, battles are won in anime by every mistake imaginable. Miracles are always in abundant supply as well. |

| Nice going Issei tripping at the most critical point. Looks like there'll be wedding to crash... |
 |
| Koneko disappeared... Queen vs. Queen. And Knight already took care of all 3 of them! The knight vs. knight. The main guy is surrounded by rest of them. lol @ the sister of the enemy that doesn't battle. lol @ saying stupid. Sempai and Sister going to the main. Interesting sword of the knight. Can make any sword he wants. lol @ everyone's reaction to his skill. Wow @ his gear bigger. And having knight's gear's power, his power is bigger. Queen got into the trap and lost. Knight, too, by the queen. Tear of phoenix? The guy caught up, but Sister lost conscious when he protected her. He's already in limit now, but is not giving up. He pissed and is brutally hitting him, she cannot bear it and admit defeat. Next ep., which is final ep., with sempai on wedding gown but Koneko said it's not over. |

| Good episode,OWN BITCH! Finally we got the action we were looking for!! YAY!!! First Koneko disappear that made me sad.....KONEKO!! The queen bitch not only she did hurt Koneko last episode like that...this episode use dirty tactics to defeat Akeno....that bitch most pay sooner or later!! Raiser was the highlight of the episode i really like him he was getting attack and he was only like:  To Risa....so badass. Kiba "UBW" its pretty nice to bad he got own by the bitch also..... Issei got a power up and own 5 pieces at the same time that was awesome but then!!!!....he got OWN by Raiser and show his place...for now since we can see all this "MC beats the badass villain somehow" next episode o.o At then Risa save him before getting incinerate to dead by him...and lose.....all that boost gear for nothing at the end!! Next episode Risa wedding and more i am so weak from issei and then some ACTION when they will crash the party to save Risa!! Lets see how it goes!! |

| I'm excited about the next episode....but the LAST :( |
| This Episode is Freaking Amazing. 5/5. I'm so speechless right now. |
| DAMN!! A cliffhanger! Now I just can't wait no more for the next episode! Hoping some plot twist here! |
 |
| I'm really enjoying this series, and this ep was no exception. Koneko's defeat seemed a little premature for my liking since Rias said that she can defend against any attack earlier on in the series. A restorative tear that instantaneously heals any wounds sounds like cheating, even with Asia there Akeno wouldn't of had enough time to heal so I guess that is just one more way that they are disadvantaged in to begin with. And Kiba just went from a decent fighting knight to an awesome knight with an interesting ability. |
| Are you enjoying the time of EVE? |
| Wtf, that's not how Boosted Gear Gift works. Issei is suppose to transfer his accumulated Boosts to his teammates. They will get a large and temporary powerup from it. Kiba was suppose to be the one to unleash that UBW attack from Sword Birth. That's why the gear said Transfer. Meh, Sword Birth was pretty awesome. I choked though when the subs said Sword of Betrayer *wink wink* I gotta wonder who was the one who has the phoenix tear in Issei's end as in a Rating game, each team are suppose to get a portion to be used. Part of the strategy is who will use it. Or did Rias already use it(wasn't mentioned in LN.) Then again, this is just an unofficial match since Rias isn't yet able to participate in real matches and they weren't given one. Pretty one sided and unfair match, both from the rules standpoint and the numbers/strength of the team. Good thing the preview didn't show much coz it would really spoil things. I've been waiting for next episode ever since I've read it. Shit can't wait for it. Time to crash the party. |

| How will they wrap this up in 1 episode? Is there going to be a second season :)? |
| @ Episode 5/5! |
Cynic1Mar 16, 2012 8:40 AM
| Epic episode is epic. Can't wait to see how Issei will handle this situation. He's gonna need one hell of a power up to take Phoenix down. Say what you will about him, but Phoenix is one badass mofo. |
| I doubt that Rias is getting married next episode. I feel like that doesn't even need to be said. Issei's going to sulk for a while then the rest of the group will build him back up and they'll go crash the place. |
| I was hoping Issei would do that clothes attack on the lolita chick. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Didn't not expect her to resign.... I was actually expecting a typical shounen last miniute power up attack. |
| Kiba was amazing. His boosted gear's 2nd form is so powerful. Well next ep is Rias's wedding. :/ I dont want to see Rias go to that bastard Raizer. |
| Nooo Rias what the fuck are you doing, I was waiting for issei to blast that fucker to ashes any second and then she resigns... WTF?! |
 |
| Da fuck where the kick ass come back?, nope nothing i was like dont let it end like this. Was Great Ep Just pissed the way it ended |
| There's already multiple of spoiler posts in this discussion thread. |
| GO ISSEI! I want a season 2! |
| My thoughts in the end: Bitch, Y U NO move out of the way T_T, issei could have absorbed the blast probably. If not i may have misunderstood what his new booster does lol. He's the main character, that makes him more immortal than the other dude. |
| First now realised that I can't get a signature because disabled BBCode e.e |
| it better have a second season |
TsukiumiFanboy said: wow great episode but wtf at the end. all the fight from issei and she just gives up. hopefully he lays the smack down next episode to get his girl back. fuck that rias dude I guess you missed the fact that Issei had pushed his body to the current limit to the point that any further boosts would only damage him from the inside. Then you have the fact that the Gremory care deeply for their servants. It's in their nature. Add to that the fact that she CLEARLY has feelings for him. It would have been strange if she HADN'T surrendered then. Phenix was going to deal enough damage to Issei so that no ammount of healing could save him. |
| I'ma a bit dissaointed by how Boosted Gear is depicted here, dem boosts are kinda ridiculous with dat enrish voice. Other than that, it was rather well done, especially transfer to Sword Birth. Can't wait for next ep though, done well should be epic. |

shadowtsunami said: Kerozinn said: another pointless episode of a pointless anime. Agreed plus the plot is just ridiculous. Seriously they had it going pretty all right at the beginning and then it deteriorated into this simple and stupid girl doesn't want to marry guy affair. I honestly pray this is sarcasm. |
OrangeTigerXIII said: ahhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHH so sad... can't wait for next episode AAAAAAHHHHHHHH, yeah, same here... |
 |
| Loved the episode!! But im not sure im gonna like how it ends...it seems like its slowing down and i wuld hav preferred it being resolved during all the hype. |
