Well that was an action packed episode. I don't blame Ikki for wanting to barge in and stop Stella from undressing. He lovess his girl and he'll do anything for her.

Alice, nice ability.But dang Ikki went full boss mode and sliced the guy's arm off and then just shrugs off the blood. The hug was was nice, Stella all surprised.


Kirihara does remind me of Accelerator, their personalities.

The way Stella and Shizuku are fighting for Ikki's attention was great, but damn the 2nd part with those robbers was nice. Alice is pretty hilarious, while Shizuya is a jerk.

Well I think this anime is getting better by the episode. I think Alice's device looks bad ass.

I'm confused. Why did Stella just suddenly like Ikki so much? Did I miss something?

Those robbers are a bunch of nobodies. I wanna see him beat that arrogant prick.

As usual the protagonist oneshots the bad guy who defeated the heroine just a moment before, though I guess you could blame that on intel. So far I'm not impressed, also the fanservice is weak.

First half was really funny, Stella and Shizuku fighting for attention. Stella most of the time in such a dumb but also cute way :P
Alice is kinda cool, even if it's a little bit weird to see a guy who's so feminine. His blazer is pretty cool, would be interesting to know what he wanted to say to Ikki in the toilet right before the robbers came in.


Oh man Ikki was so angry about seeing Stella had to undress before so much people. The fight scene was good, I really liked it, especially to see so much blood :o

Kirihara is so cocky. It's super annoying maybe because I really hate those kind of people. I hope Ikki will beat him in their fight.

lol at Shizuku date blocking Stella. That was Stella's fault though. She should probably stop stuttering.

LMAO at Stella putting the cream all over her mouth like she about to shave. So petty.

Alice: I'm worried about "Shizuku and Stella."

Ikki: Stella...Shizuku.

Me: Hmm....

Bishon is a boss ordering Stella to take off her clothes.

DAT BODY! DAT PANTSU! DAT BRA DETAIL!

DAT SLICE!

Yoshitsugu.

Ikki hugging Stella to make sure that body is ok.

This was a pretty awesome episode!

First of all, Stella is just too cute - her reactions and the way she tries to hide her feelings for Ikki are just kawaii!

Second, Ikki's entrance into the hostage situation (dodging them bullets like he's Neo from the Matrix Trilogy) and the way he cuts off the guy's hand are just badass!

Finally, with the fan service, I was like wtf. There's a better way to give us fan service than having Stella strip in front of everyone! Thank God she was saved from having to fully strip naked!

P.S. Out of curiosity, for those who read the light novel and the manga, does Stella actually strip naked without anything on in this scene in the light novels/manga, or is she just left half naked like in this episode?

Nice episode. I like Stellas reaction to the hug. Refreshing to see a heroine, who doesn't get angry and beats the shit out of the MC.

I agree. Very refreshing. Stella does have her tsundere moments, but she also has lots of sweet moments where she shows that she really does have feelings for him.

I agree. I love the way that - even though she is embarrassed and tries to hide it - she still flirts with Ikki because she really wants him. Stella is super-sweet. :)

JusTFoRTroll said:

In the LN it goes like this:
Her cardigan fell, and her beautiful shoulders were exposed.
Her skirt slid down to her feet, and her slender and alluring legs were bared.
Her blouse buttons came off one by one, and her small navel could be seen from the crevice.
And finally she only had her white-string undergarments left.

We are not told that she strips further than this (and if she did, THE AUTHOR WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE TOLD US), so we can be confident that she gets to keep her lingerie on.

A bit later, after Ikki has disabled the lead thug, we get this (emphasis mine):
The Rebellion soldiers were collapsed here and there, not a single one still standing. On that battlefield, [Ikki] could see only one person's back.

"Stella…."

It was the Crimson Princess with her deep red hair swinging, her body clad in a dress of flame, and her hand gripping Lævateinn as it scattered flame. After suffering a critical strike and a disgrace she had never received before, Stella still made the first move and floored every one of the soldiers so quickly that Arisuin couldn't do his part.

So she is actually less naked in the LN. When she joins the fight she covers herself in a magical dress, whereas in the anime she just fights in her underwear.

Stella did well to distract the enemies, what she did (Undressing) was really brave, especially when probably almost everyone there knows that she's a princess.
The same thing goes for everybody else to participate. I don't really like that guy who calls Ikki 'The Worst One' but he did pretty much kill the enemies (YEEEAAAH BOI!!)!

Fucking pedo and his minions got what's coming for them...

Yeah, Stella was really great in this episode. Already a far cry from the rather generic tsundere she came off as at the beginning.

For some reason, that Kirihara guy pisses me off, but whatever. Best scene with Stella in this episode. She should just tell him that she loves him, here's me hoping that we won't get an MC who can't choose anyone, but that seems to be not the case for now, also according to everyone commenting here.
3 episodes in.. and I can say that I like this anime. I really have a knack for romance and stuffs

Now that I've finished the series though, he doesn't piss me off that much and I think he's kinda cool, because of his swordsmanship here.

Nothing special here, but for me it does everything perfectly fine, just above mediocre that I can’t find anything to complain about. Fingers crossed for the rest of the series to be at the same fast pace we’ve been getting. It really doesn’t drag for me, which is a major win

That battle took a weird turn. The amount of fanservice Stella has is unfathomable. I still like her nonetheless, but I wouldn't mind if she dropped this tsundere thing.

A little redemption for Ikki's sister, but damn I can't really like Nagi, even more so for that guy Ikki's going to fight.

Stella is strong but she just had an opponent with a broken ability and hostages that prevent her to continue the battle.

Only the Japanese could come up with yandere, I'm sure it happens in one form or another everywhere else in the world, the Japanese that make it a competition. 📣

Quite a few people are mentioning LN tropes like they're a bad thing, others are checking them off on their score cards, not sure what to make of this, but there's a lot of excitement for the next episode, think I'll tune in to see what all the fuss is about 🤔
