It took almost an entire episode for Dolan to notice that it was all his dream. No one, especially Celina and Christina, can be 180 changed or twisted overnight like that. Honestly, he should have, at least, noticed or suspected something about this unusual situation beforehand.

Dreams have their own logic, with impulses often coming from parts of the psyche not accessed during waking or rational thought. Even with a skilled directed dreamer, like moi, it can take little time to line up your bearings.

Man, the start was such a 180 from last week, I almost forgot the Evil Goddess impaled him!

That nightmare took a lot longer than I was expecting. The bracelet was to save her, but instead saved him!
Honestly I can somewhat relate, that is the nature of nightmare. Your thought and/or physical abilities get strangled as hell breaks loose.

These fallen deities are so cringe, so she wants to kill Dolan-chan, but psychologically kill? Because why didn't she just physically kill?

Everything looked great for a while until Dolan's entire life was turned upside down.
Thankfully Celina was still herself and able to help him out at the end even for a moment.
Dolan VS Kalavith next time, looking forward to it.

What a shitty episode. It was super obvious what was happening immediately, yet we ended up with practically a recap episode wasting a full episode at such a point in the show. What a bad use of pacing, and air time. They could've ended the charade in 5 minutes yet they dragged it on and on just to waste time.

Yeah I'm not sure why they decided to dedicate almost an entire episode to a dream (more like a nightmare) and it turned to be the blonde girl Kalavith that I suspected as the one behind this. I recall that she was briefly shown when Dolan easily beat Georg and once Dolan gains his senses back, thanks in part to Celina, I expect him to defeat her too.

OP Character, got backstabbed. lmao

Horrible dream.

Celina saved Dolan from that dream.

Reaffirmed that Celina is a dear friend of his.

and a new gyaru as a villain.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Resolving the problem in 5 mins downplays Al la Kalavith's powers as a major threat.
Dolan was on the brink of giving in if not for Celina's intervention. Just because we the viewers figured out the nightmare trap from the get go, doesn't mean Dolan should as well.

@Tiffanys I echo your sentiment. I 400% fast-forwarded through most of it.

@Janethan23 I mean you've heard of time skips right? It's very easy to imply the passage of time without taking literal time. Could've easily had a sequence where he spent weeks or even months in there cycling between one day after another - and it doesn't need to take an entire episode. You can easily do that in 5 minutes with good pacing.

@Tiffanys Nah, the flip side of what you're suggesting can be equally deemed as rushed and skipping details. The studio took their time to highlight Dolan's emotional and mental weakness. He maybe op when it comes to fighting power yet Al La Kalavith knows his weakness very well and exploited it. Nobody would take her seriously if the entire ordeal was just a 5 min glossed over encounter.

I can't believe Dolan fell for this illusion nonsense, especially after everything they just went through to save the elves. Why would there be such a drastic change in their personalities that he would accept it as fact? I don't like how he simply resolved himself and acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world. It doesn't fit his personality at all. Maybe I'm overthinking it or reading too much into it. Even if that chick was that powerful, for Dolan to just believe it is beyond me.

Dolan's sudden death, to only then have it all seemed like a dream with him being fine and roaming around Verun Village like the normal self he is...and it's only with the slight deviation of the expressions that he senses something amiss.

The people all suddenly moving away from the village that slowly only leaves Dolan remaining, and then with the reality setting in of Christina burning houses and Celina being prepared to move away regardless of circumstances, it's a barrage of misconstrued scenarios that brought him back to the dragon that he is, almost as if it's a curse that beckons his life. It's took Celina's usual careness that Dolan's nightmare sequence is broken, and to find out who was behind it all: the fallen deity of Al la Kalavith.

Welp, if killing physically isn't enough, how about killing psychologically?

Celina to the rescue! She was the much needed dose of reality Dolan needed before he succumbed to whatever it was that fallen deity was planning to do to him. Guess next episode is a face off against those two.

It was Celina's time to save Dolan this time like he did for her. She's a such a sweetheart. Really really sweet. It took em a decade but we got our lamia waifu powercreep. Also it was the demon girl shown before as expected. She's hot.

BTW, felt kinda weird they sorta spoilered the entire thing by showing Dolan getting stabbed before the Dream happened.

It would have given a more mysterious and suspense vibe if they ended the previous episode and then started this episode with a normal scene. That way the viewers would think this was a continuation with nothing wrong.

But since we already know he got stabbed and then the episode starts with him acting normal and such... it was already SUS and lost the mysterious and suspense vibe the episode is suppose to give. Cause all the "drama" they showed in the episode, we already know they're all fake and as no actual attachment or emotion to care about what's happening.

.

BTW, it's suppose to be "Twisted" but the "killing monsters to prevent them from entering the village"... might seem wrong, but that's actually the "REAL" thing... since it was shown at the beginning of what the villager's attitude toward that was. And I am pretty sure majority of the other "Humanoid ally" races do this too.

So by making this seem wrong and twisted, it also means majority of the Humanoid ally races are in the wrong, LOL. (which means majority of humans and ally races are "evil and twisted")

.

And Dolan got lucky that the gem she gave Celina was able to connect their "Dreams" together.

Should remodel the bracelet into a ring at this point, Celina is pure waifu that saved you just as you saved her.

BTW, when Celina jumps onto Dragon Dolan's chest, Dolan's scales... seems to be "soft" instead of "hard" as some bends into different angles from being squished down by Celina...

.

Also... Gyaru Evil Goddess... looks kinda HAWT... I wanna try touching her horns.
