I know he called her one but what made her respond with it? there's no guarantee that she would say it, but Sora still took the chance Maybe because Jibril got pushed into the corner, she use the word that she has just learned ( not enough time to think, just use anything that popped up in her head ) |

Xopiad said: How did Shiro get Jibril to respond with Empty-Head Academic? I know he called her one but what made her respond with it? The word is "闇弱" read as "Anjaku" which mean ignorant and weak. Sora called her that because he want to provoke her because she is a weapon made to kill but in this game world, her existence is worthless, and Sora provoke her with that. Jibril use that word at the end because she think she had win because she can draw light to continue the game and because, without atmosphere, Sora and Shiro will lost, hence she use "anjaku" to them, human. |

| One question: What's holding Steph's tail on here? https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/t1.0-9/10376002_776431162375696_7923457373040268203_n.jpg |
| Slice of Life Anime about the everyday life of a German Philosopher: Nietzschijou. |
| Holy. Shit. That physics....10/10 episode. |
"Komugi, are you there?" |
| Woah, that episode was completely crazy. Blown my mind. Starting with hydrogen bomb, what a crazy first move xD I loved how each time I thought that they had her and Jibril was coming back, they were always one step further :) What a fucking great episode, that's seriously top-tier anime. |

| Damn what an episode. The show always seems to catch me off-guard, being all humorous one second, and bam. Right back to business. |

DrGeroCreation said: It was a good episode but it would of been good if Jibril, Sora and Shiro had actually gotten a little scorched from being so close to the Earth's core as would of been the case if it was a yami no game. How was Sora able to summon a hydrogen bomb though? According to the rules you can't summon something that doesn't exist and a hydrogen bomb would not exist in the fantasy game world they are in. Lol the whole reason he did it was to see if the normal world physics still applied, which they obviously did which was why he could do all that stuff at the end of the episode. |

Takuan_Soho said: Xopiad said: How did Shiro get Jibril to respond with Empty-Head Academic? I know he called her one but what made her respond with it? Two reasons: first as others pointed out pyschology. Jibiri wanted to throw the words back into Sora's face. But more importantly I believe: those were the only characters that Jibiri could write in kanji. She had never seen the script before, that was why Sora wrote the word instead of saying it. When she lost the ability to speak she was stuck in being able to communicate a word in writing to Sora, I believe she would have lost if she had written in a language he could not understand (and she had no reason to suspect that they could read any of their languages). So all she had were those two characters, but even better it was exactly what she wanted to communicate. Even if she wouldn't have lost using another script, those two characters were a perfect way of cementing her race's "superiority", Sora's genius is that he plants the seed and then waits for it to bloom. Knowing as he did where things were going to go, he had this set up from the beginning. All he needed to know was that Jibiri's pride prevented her from admit she didn't know something (the only time she did was when she was overcome with lust when she realized they were aliens). Remember when Sora showed her the words to begin with, she claimed she knew what it meant. That was her downfall, he knew she didn't. He then confirmed it with the hydrogen bomb. Also, a clear foreshadow of Jibiri's lack of respect about the unknown was shown at the beginning, she confidently stated that it was impossible for beings from another dimension to stay, and then when she was proven wrong, she didn't care to ask them HOW they did it. That was another clue for Sora. And this is exactly why, ladies and gentlemen, that this show is deserving of the 10/10 which I placed on it from the very first episode. The games are all cleverly executed, the banter and action in-game are epic, but the only problem we have in the animation is that we don't get to see all the "behind-the-back" maneuvering which Blank (well, Sora mostly) does in order to attain his highest possible percentage chances of winning. We only get tidbits like when Jibril admits to having lost ever since the first move, and sometimes a good explanation from Sora's inner monologues or from their "post game interviews" as I'd like to call them. Sigh... how I wish we could split this show into 26 episodes and have them explain everything. At least that way we wouldn't have a bunch of nit-pickers trying to slate how awesome and epic this show is. Jibril drooling over the tablet was even better animated than in words! I absolutely love this Flugel! Sora trying to keep everything strictly under R-18, and deferring to Shiro for her approval. Bahahaha! Omega Good Job! Next episode can't come soon enough, and I'm seriously hoping that they actually DO come out with another season! 13 episodes for the most epic anime of the season is WAY too short! |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| I can't get over how awesome the artwork is. and it has that same fantasy-blur that I saw and loved in Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito. Fantasy anime rocks. |
| This shit is intense. Love this anime. |

| Sucks that this series is only going to be 12 episodes long. T^T |

The rest has been explained DivAsakust. --------------------------- Who else feels sorry for Steph and wish that she'd stop being used as the butt of jokes and decoys. |
Kaioshin_Sama said: I'd be lying if I said I would have expected much better out of an LN story. This is probably one of the stupider things I see people type in anime/manga forums. Bad writing is present almost every single form of entertainment. Shit you read in LN is just as prevalent in manga and some anime. Hell, you get stuff like Twilight in the west. If you think the story is bad, just say it's bad. Saying stuff like "Oh...it's a Japanese LN blah blah blah" is nothing but ignorance. |

| This anime is absolutely amazing, definitely one of the best this season! |
| SO. FUCKIN. EPIC. |
| *insert philosophical quote here* |
| well that certainly was something. what brought them all back to life at the end though? the games dont remove them from reality, do they? |

| episode didn't make any sense at all . this series is just bending logic and rules the way it wants in order to make the average viewer think it made sense... so many plotholes in one game. and that lolicon incest kiss. perverts gonna get off to that...ugh. "but that was totally important for them to survive!" no...they purposely went that way with the plot so they could show them kiss and to please the incest lover. |
 |
| I like Jibril already, didn't expect that. I am enjoying Steph a lot. I guess, this proves it is R+. All that incest. I like how smart this show is proving to be. I wonder how are the BDs selling... 10/10 again. 3 in a row, woo |

| Best episode ! Omega Good Job! |

Sageof6Paths said: I have a question, does beating Jibril count as beating the Flugel race? Or does Sora need to beat whoever is holding the chess piece that represents the race to count as beating the race? Actually, in the novel, Jibril wanted to bet her entire race for the 40k books, but Sora had to refuse, because it would have taken Jibril a bit over 100 years to take over the council. But then again, it might have been mere mockery from her part, saying, that no matter what she bets, she risks nothing. Kaioshin_Sama said: Probably giving this one a 2.5/5 since at least the resolution to the game was kind of good and I appreciated Yukari Tamura showing her range again as Jibril. Still the game aspects of this show just continue to rely on a lot of bullshit made up logic and rules that take away almost completely from it while the comedy and fanservice is just kind of typical stuff I've again seen in plenty of shows before (even some of the same jokes and nods) if given above average production values. Actually, the logic behind most of the games is quite sound, if you bother to think about it, rather than dismiss it. But then again, I personally think a bit less focus on the fanservice, so that they could have included some important parts of the game, like how when Sora said luggage, he actually had to think of different implications of the word, to make sure Steph doesn't dissapear. Or alternatively, they could have simply just sliced off a small bit from this episode's end and tacked it at the beginning of the next episode, considering how it's going to be a slightly underwhelming episode for most. (but then again, if someone didn't notice, that this show is a rollercoaster ride, then they are just hopeless Stephs themselves...) Also, some things Sora told Jibril at the end would have been better off said, rather than cut... But meh, pacing isn't easy, when you've got a thight schedule. Also, am I the only one thinking, that the "Omega Good Job" is actually a Disgaea reference? I mean, in that game (Well, if memory serves that is) the Omega spells are the strongest version, at least in the elemental schools. |
| Heh, using the unknown to that world's logic of science against her... well done, well done indeed. :) |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |
| Jibril is so hot |
| They might as well show Sora's penis without the hole. Were the boobs necessary? o.O they looked so weird without nipples. Other then that, it was great. :) |
   |
| This episode was so amazing and educational :oo Best anime 2014 imo xP |
| Man, I guess knowledge can be very lewd if you look at it in a certain way. This show continues to impress me episode after episode. |

| The Dankey Kang reference was the best. |

thepath said: Jibril is so hot this too |
| Okay, this episode has officially won me over. Sticking with this series until the end, that was ABSOLUTELY epic. By the way, what's up with all these people nit-picking the crap outta this anime just because they didn't like something about it? It's entertaining, go be a negative-nancy elsewhere! |
