----------------------------------------
Ah so the fight begins...Akeno-chan :3 I could tell that Kiba is pissed off though.


Dat memories.

Freed still pisses me off though, not just his voice but personality in this episode. Nice sword man. Great episode. Loved the action! Freed can go bite the dust.

A war to protect the academy begins, with Xenovia's help. So his sacred gear is not just making girls naked but also giving others power-up. But it's too late: All Excalibur into 1 is completed. So those who were used as experiment were sacrificed for the source of that crystal to make angels stronger... (so not failed) Knight was given the power by those people in the crystal as Balance Breaker, and became a sword that is both saint and devil. That dangerous Excalibur from Xenovia! That fake Excalibur is defeated, and that father is destroyed. The enemy giving them the chance to power boost on the guys Boosted gear.

This ep. is power of friendship, and next ep. will be power of love?

Not dissapointed in this episode (actually never was in any of them lol),
good thing that Valper guy is gone, and so is Freed, they were annoying as hell.
Go Issei and Rias :o

Kiba's Balance Breaker reveal wasn't as flashy as I expected. It was kind of like a divine revelation for him as he unlocked a new power. There isn't much emphasis as well on the mixing of the holy and demonic properties which made it a special power.
And Freed's fight was so short. I wanted to see Kiba curbstomp him so hard as the 4-sword Excalibur was overpowered by the Sword of Betrayer.
Aside from that, still a great episode. The fights were flashy and well-animated. And that part with Kiba talking to his comrades was done really well. I kinda expected the fight to end this episode but it seems we're getting one more. This should be really good. Can't wait for

Another excellent episode.

Yuuto achieving balance breaker with the help of his dead friends was particularly well done, although I was fairly disappointed that Xenovia durandal summoning wasn't done better.

You'll get why the mixing of both holy and demonic properties is such a special power the next episode although it was sort of hinted several times during this episode as to why this was such a revelation and something unexpected.

Plot twist anyone? Tune into the next episode ;).

This anime is actually good when it doesn't have as much fanservice as it did in season 1. Still need Koneko/Irina doujins though.

Wow, A Holy Devil Sword and the Durandal? Damn awesomeness!

Although I think Kokabiel is still way stronger to be defeated by the likes of the Occult Club.

I got my expected battle. But there seems to be another battle coming up.
I'm loving this OST. Especially during Yuuto's scene about memories.

Four Excaliburs got fused into one Excalibur. But too bad it got destroyed by Yuuto and Xenovia.
Xenovia and Yuuto are pretty badass in this episode, starting with their entrances.
Then Xenovia pulls out her Holy Sword Durandal which is around the same power level as Excalibur.
Yuuto, on the other hand, has Peaked and gains his Balance Breaker, Sword of Betrayer.

Kokabiel is OP.
Not only did he summon Cerberus the Watchdog of Hades, he also couldn't get scratched by Rias' Power of Destruction boosted with Issei's Gift. In the end, he killed Valper himself and gave a chance for them to kill him.

I wonder what will happen next!
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

I always wanted to see how it really was kiba holy devil sword, and was even more curious about xenovia durandal sword, now I saw them finally! EPIC

And for the plot twist you talked about... dont hype it much, it is not a big of a deal! Except if you are talking about why holy and devil powers could be mixed (the meaning behind it was a BIG twist), still the biggest ones will be of the last 5 episodes, more precisely the volume 4, that really caught me off guard!

It didnt?! There is a reason why reading a story makes you experience it better than watch, and that happens in all adapt stuff. I read everything and I say you bitching about it too much, the has been very loyal to the LN material!!

This was a good episode, the scene with Yuuto and all of his comrades was nice, especially the music that was playing during it. Now he has achieved the balance breaker and Xenovia wields the Durandal, man, things just can't get more epic than this.

I'm also glad that Valper guy is dead, and that they stopped Freed. Now all that is left is for Rias to stop Kakebial, will she be able to? I hope, but maybe her bro might just come in to save the day, guess I'll just have to wait for next week.
