THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Believe me, the ONLY time where this show is worth its best, is when the plot shifts over to the Black Edge / Dark Elves side. The journeys of Kasel and Co. have been getting immensely boring.

Princess Scarlett and the Black Edge (with only Riheet remaining) recovering from Malduk's confrontation, and the news spreading to the Orvelia Kingdom just as quick. The Demons in the Galluah Plains plot is becoming true by the minute, and both royalty and commonfolk are both baffled. The hardest hits are both shopkeeper Shelia (with Tamm) and Riheet with the entire force annihilation, in immense shock from the many benigned massacres of the past, and to force revenge even on their bad hand.

The words of Ripine echoing what the Dark Elves have been suppressed against, attach that with Riheet's burning desire for revenge against the Demons, Princess Scarlett has a big task on her hands to deal with the outset.

The lore of the Dark Elves story is getting interesting, and I really want to know what's going on...starting with the pendant that Riheet has been wearing since the start.

One of the best episodes in a while tbh. I actually got quite emotional while the orvellian princess was reflecting on things. Feel awful for Riheet, who was already obsessed with revenge to now be alone. Also felt bad for the girl who liked Tamm, seeing her breakdown was hard too.

I wonder if getting the false sword would be a way to bring back the black edge, kinda got that idea from the end.

I know the score isn’t great, but I love this show.

I can't keep up with the plot, but does this mean Kasel and Riheet are brothers? (And Lupine as Kasel's sister?)

Anyway, Riheet wears black underwear! I hope to see a full view of him!

This was the coming together episode and I think it was executed Perfectly!
First Princess Scarlett finding out about Kasel and Frey and how they are protecting Orvelia from Demons as well.
Second: The Townspeople hearing about Black Edge was a huge blow. It showed how much they actually cared for Dark Elves after seeing they weren't bad people at all.
Third: Everything about Riheet and his past coming together.

I think this does make Riheet and Kasel connected some how. It's 100% not a brothers thing because Kasel's parents were human. But if Iilya had an offspring it could very well be Riheet. This would make them cousins and I do like the Idea of Riheet fighting along side Kasel eventually with the False Sword that Iilya made.

I always took this anime as a D&D campaign and this episode just felt like the DM struck GOLD! Very nice episode.

Also Scarlett is cute as hell.

Scarlett is getting better and better and more likable each episode and she's easily my favorite character in the series. Once again, I like the episodes more when it doesn't focus on the main cast.

For some reason, I kinda like this episode of King's Raid. Which is a rarity btw...

So we spend this full episode with Riheet trying and dumping himself to avenge his fallen friends. Scarlet (which is really beautiful, BEST GI-) was also confronted by Riheet about the reality of Dark Elves, and she got depressed because of that. It is alright though since Elise comforts her as they watch the sunset.

While still trying and dumping himself down, Riheet met with the demon MILF that I don't remember the name. She also confronted Riheet to tell about the reality and history of Illya, the dark elf that he most despised. So actually Riheet is a descendant of Illya, that's nice to know. So this demon MILF now gave Riheet the chance to claim the False Sword that Illya made, and I assume this is how it's gonna go.

While Kasel and his gang move forward to claim the last piece of the Holy Sword, Riheet will go to the Tower of Sage to get the False Sword. Some power of friendship and drama later, Kasel and Riheet will fight alongside each other to defeat Malduk. Yay...that oughta be meh. And it's going to be meh since we're gonna get THE BACKSTORY OF ROI next week...HURRY ON WITH THE SWORD DAMNIT.

But even then this is the most decent episode King's Raid had gotten since....I don't really remember this show having decent episodes actually.

So Illya was Maria's friend and Riheet's ancestor. He said everything to Scarlet but not that it matters anymore since all his friends are dead. He wants the fake holy sword now. What does he wanna do with it I wonder.

The news already arrived to the Orvelian capital. Most orvelian had a big mumbles in their capital. Hah, that nobles must be confused as hell by hearing those bad information.

Man, the whole situations with the black elves band really complicated. Poor, Riheet. But, his role kinda understandable via these episode explanations. Its revealed that he had a connection to Kasel history that went long enough under 100 years ago. The history of King Kyle and Illya. Kasel and Riheet were related, the distant relatives. What a clearance, its good for Riheet souls. Thanks for that, Maria, now i am slowly understand your background motives. Its successfully awakened Riheet motivation to seek more revenge. Yeah, that fake sword. It must be good seeing both, Kasel, and Riheet, having the same, but different swords.

However, since the pace was so slow like a snail, i may have a doubt that a feeling somehow goes downhill and underwhelming. Whatever, lets go to the next episode, that looks alike another character background story.

fyi, Malduk is not the last boss. If you watch the opening song carefully, you will see a black knight at the end of the song.

This is really a decent episode. We got Riheet's backstory and we also get how princess reacts to the story of Kasel and his friend defeated demons and safe people. I feel bad for the girl who likes Tamn. She deserves a happy ending because she is the only in the town who are willing to talk and go out with a dark elve.

I feel like I've seen this episode a lot: anti-hero obsessed with revenge finds out the reason behind their hatred is due to a misconception which, through a series of circumstances, usually leads to their goals aligning with the protagonist's. Still, not a bad episode.

Also, this episode must have been hard on Riheet's voice actor's throat, so much grunting and Japanese choking "kh" sounds lol

Is it just me or, this anime's story DO getting better..?
I actually hate how weak Kasel is, not just in term of power but also on terms of character, but THAT thing do get mentioned in the story last episode by the cute mercenary girl (forgot her name), maybe his character IS being made that way for future plot/development.. And, I always feel bad for Reheet and the other Black Edge (and the rest of the dark elves race) for the false treatment by Orvelians, but I don't like how they plotted againts it, but man, I feel really bad and sad for Riheet when the whole Black Edge wiped out, more over her sister also got killed, man, such a waste on cute character as well.. Lol
In this episode I felt so much emotion in it, whether it's by Riheet or by the beautiful Princess when she discovered some dark fact of her country, I can feel that she is not jist trying to be just a cool knight, but really wanting to make her country better, and mostly when Sheilla learnt the fact that Tamm died...

Well it's unavoidable that the 1st cour of this anime is quite week and cliché, but I feel it got better and better on the 2nd cour.. Story aside, I really love the animation of this anime, it got their character beautifully animated, tho not perfect everytime, but I envy for 'I'm standing on a million lives' which did not even got an animation on King's Raid level. The girls are cute, not to mention the male characters are also well designed, but the voice acting can be better than this, I suppose

I think judging by the ED MV, he will side with the other knights, of course, getting along better with the princess

That was really fast how Riheet wore all those clothes before running away, really thought I would see him staggering in his undies XD

Now that Scarlett got to know about the Black Edge's true motive I wonder what she'll do. If Riheet hates Illya who is also a dark elf then he should know that not all the people of Orvelia are bad like those shitty nobles...

Next episode will be interesting. Looking forward to know more about Roi's past.

If I remember correctly only from political point of view. Like Riheet's ancestor was adopted sister of Kasel's father and not biological sister.

But still if not Kasel Riheet would have full rights to throne. So maybe that girl from previous episode about "running from responsibility" was big foreshadowing?

It was good to see the orphan girl again. Well, she's not really an orphan anymore, but I'm glad she's doing well.

Feel bad for the girl who was in love with Tamm. That is rough. And the demon lady sure is intriguing. These characters are a lot more complex than they appear. That is a good thing.

Sad to see Sheila so devastated after learning Tamm died...

With the discovery of Riheet being a descendant of Ilya and knowing Kasel is the son of Kyle, that basically means they are related as Ilya was Kyle's half-sister. No wonder they follow a somewhat similiar path.

This is the episode where Riheet finally breaks. His quest for revenge has cost him everything he held dear, but maybe there is one thing he can do to make things right: discover the truth about Illya.

I gotta say: is Maria really speaking the truth or is she just trying to manipulate Riheet? Consdering we know next-to-nothing about her, either possibility is likely and whatever Riheet chooses to do, it will likely bring him into conflict with Kasel.
