I'm disappointed that Julio didn't even help after being freed, wasn't he supposed to be a master swordsman? Agnes and the musketeer look more like amateurs swinging sword blindly rather than trained fighters..

Did not expect Colbert to die. Letter part at the end was sad but Agnes ruined it with her half witted remark.

Do not understand why she wants to kill him so badly. Colbert had no idea that the mission was fake and he tried saving who was left alive immediately after he found out, why would it be so hard for Agnes to forgive him.

It's because she spent the majority of her life ignorant of those facts. Agnes spent her life hunting him down, and the hate and malice that built up over those years wouldn't just go away in one moment because Colbert said he was sorry. It's called cognitive dissonance.

Well, that episode almost made cry :(
Damnit Agnès! If you hadn't interposed in the fight, he wouldn't be dead!
I guess the title was appropriated, ''The Atonement of Flames''... I heard that death by fire is one of the most painful death :/
RIP Colbert, I'm sure your students loved you.

This anime covers so many genre's, i really like this series, it was amusing when the ending scene was so heart wrenching and then the end song came on.

So Colbert-sensei was who everyone already expected. Don't care that much that he died, wasn't a very interesting character. But this episode was pretty good.

It was sad when Colbert died but he wasn't really a stand out character or anything but I'm just glad that the former Vice Captain guy got what he deserved, Agnes once again gets an awesome kill! But when he took his eye out I was like ewww. xD

Glad to see Kirche again two episodes in a row, missed her! But omg I got the feels when she was holding onto Colbert when Agnes wanted to stab him. And Saito & Louise crying at the end was sad too. :(

Finally louise got a spell right and even got some acknowledgement for it. Her blush was cute caused by that :)

Well eventho you might think so, but not everything is predictable.. Just you wait :)

I think kirche x tabitha make a great team eventho they lost but fire and wind are just a great combo!

And poor colbert.. He ended up being a nice guy

Once he started emphasizing his interest in going to Saito's world, I knew he was raising his death flag. Pretty sad that ended up true, quite a dramatic exit. Agnes is definitely a bit torn on what to think, she's definitely a hard nut to crack.

Never went into this anime with a kindling of how emotionally impactful it'd be.
I have to admit though, the ED doesn't fit any of these scenes at all xD

Louise rope magic trick was very nice.
I also liked the scene at the end where Louise hugs Saito


I think they started the serious plot a little late and used the Louise punishing Saito "running gag" to often.
Thats why season 1 was better in my opinion.


This. But the revenge arc dragged on for far too long. I'm glad it's over to be honest. I don't think I could've taken another revenge line.

Agnes, YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!!!! You would think the captain of the Musketeer Force would have a little more discipline to control herself. Yes, you can say that it was the only thing driving her but she was also attacking the very person who was saving the school and students. Attacking him while the Albion fire mage was still alive. You are an idiot.

The feels at the end though (T_T)

This story arc would be a lot better if the MC actually played a bigger role than just being a helper who's in the way most of the time.

Was definitely a feelsy episode.
So I was right in assuming he was both the savior AND the captain after all.
Colbert actually died but not by Agnes.

I understand how Agnes feels but she could understand the impact that scene has on Colbert aswell.

What a good episode, the best so far in the series. Up till now it’s been enjoyable but frivolous. But in this arc we had finally had drama and a message.

Goddamn I fucking h a t e Agnus. She is so fucking simple minded and BITCHY - then they decide to kill off the only relatively smart character. Colbert was the only one who knew what the fuck to do in most predictable situations.

Colbert was a pretty nice person, he only did that to the village because he obeyed false orders, I'm not saying that he had no sins, but still, he tried to atone for it until the very end. I cant' believe he died though.. F.
It was nice not seeing Louise beat up Saito for this episode.
5/5 for this episode.

Wow, didn't expect the meek little teacher to die in the cute little show. I kind of liked him.

The cast is now lacking an other-world expert though, wonder if and when and how he'll be replaced.

Colbert got so stressed about his past sins to the point of going bald.

It's too bad he died. He was the one doing maintenance and repairs on the Zero fighter. I also feel bad for him that he didn't live long enough to see our world. RIP.

Hi from 2020, I don't expect much detail from old animes but Saito was really useless here. He has what it takes to stall the enemy or even kill the enemy with his teacher on his side. I don't know why the heck he just followed orders and didn't do anything, please don't be a dog for real Saito.
