Damn, they didn't waste any time at all jumping straight into the drama and action this episode.

Back Arrow really tried to make a point and have his words not go to waste. It's about keeping a promise to himself. Highlight of the episode imo is the Princess coming into the combat front lines without fear this time and fighting for her people.

Quite an intense episode.

Looking at the poll, it seems someone has become irrationally angry at this episode, even to the point of manipulating a forum poll.

It's especially noticeable because not a lot of people have seen the episode yet, nor did anything controversial happen, so it's absurd to see that lopsided poll result so quickly. It's obvious what's going on here. That's rather...petty, to put it lightly, but I guess some people like that sort of self-serving behavior. Very obvious cloning and brigading.

The emperor finally joins the battle with a briheight and he's op. He even dragged out the princess' split personality. This'll be a good fight.

On the surface, it seems like Princess dark mode is a perfect match for Rekka's emperor, but the new opening song already spoil that it's actually that fat supreme leader that will go head to head with the emperor.

It's the second cour and we still don't know anything about the wall. They really save the best for last.

PS: Love when Back Arrow hug Kai while sightseeing in the sky for about a minute or two, they should go on date, for real!

I liked the new OP but I think the first one was better, it was made by LiSA after all. The emperor's power looks sick.

The 2nd Cour OST is plenty fine though.

The Briheight battle of the Lutoh generals standing alongside Granegder against Rekka, pretty much is just between Back Arrow, Prax, Kai Rhodan and Ren Sin.

Arrow still standing on Shu Bi's idea to achieve unity while going beyond the Wall, that's as easy as child's guess. But Princess Fine appearing in her Briheight only serves to finally see Emperor Zetsu Daidan's Briheight, and he's no joke of an enemy to face against.

The two rulers with nothing spared and fully on exhibit with unleashed powers, this is gonna be interesting.

Omg the new OP and ED SLAPPPPPPP. Really good episode, the emperor and his awesome power are going to be a huge obstacle to overcome. I thought Finé had got rid of her dark side, but it looks like she’ll need her if we’re gonna have any chance of victory here. Can’t wait to see them fight next week

Some nice tactics in this episode, Prax and Arrow using the Wall defense mechanism to their advantage, Kai and Ren undoing their Gattai to dodge a fatal blow and Kai taking off his Bind Warper to escape Arrow’s hold on him. The whole Arrow and Prax vs Kai and Ren fight is probably my favorite one in the show so far. Prax even got to use the Muga sword and its weight wasn’t an issue for her, compared to the Prax and Elsha fight where Elsha was struggling to lift the thing, there’s even a moment where the sword’s weight inadvertently helps Elsha dodge one of Prax’s attacks, really highlights how much stronger Prax is in comparison to Elsha or Atlee.



That scene of Zetsu using 10 Bind Warpers was pretty hype, I was under the impression that Bind Warpers were conviction amplifiers, but this scene seems to imply that his conviction is so strong that he needs multiple Bind Warpers to manifest his Briheight. His Briheight looks very wizard-like, fits with the force powers he was using. Definitely the strongest Briheight so far,
blowing people away merely by clapping and destroying mountains with ease, thus ending Lutoh’s plan unintentionally, since he appeared more interested in creating a fitting battlefield for his fight with Fine. Some of the dialogue seems to imply he can control conviction particles.

Rudolf displaying the war to the citizens of Lutoh, that Bind Warper appearing out of nowhere and rolling towards Fine, is this a set up to expose Fine’s other personality?

Arrow said in episode 11 if he’s going to become King of Lingalind then he’s not going to kill a future ally, a pretty good reason for an MC to refuse to kill. Though it felt more justified when Arrow had the advantage of flight over Kai, now they’re equals, not so much. But I do like how he tried to convince Kai by showing him the Wall defense mechanism.

Nice song for the new OP, the visuals were mostly decent with the stand out being the section beginning with Elsha, Atlee, Bit and Shu doing action poses and ending with Zetsu vs Rudolf 3:31-3:47. This show is missing some cool Cowboy action, so I hope that former part is indicative of things to come and I can’t wait for that fight between Zetsu and Rudolf.

I like the song for the new ED but in terms of visuals, I prefer the first ED, how it kept adding new characters as the series went along felt reminiscent of the spine artwork that appears on some manga collections like Dragon Ball or Nanatsu no Taizai. This second cour is off to a strong start.

Liked this one quite a bit, the action in this show is just fun. Excited to see the emperor vs princess match, although im pretty sure the emperor will most likely win.
The op song is not as good as the first, but its still pretty decent and the visuals are far better as there is actually some very nice animated parts. ED on the other hand is fucking great, even if the show is getting better im not sure if it deserves an ending with Flow which is literally one of my favourite japanese bands ever.

That has been happening in literally every new show episode thread. If this continues mal really will need to do something about how the scores in threads will continue, because its way out of hand right now.

New opening and ending.

I'm guessing that's Rudolph in the intro but without his internal Briheight that's giving him his large appearance.

Back Arrow and Prax take Kai to see Lingalind's ceiling with the defenses meant to stop inhabitants from going higher, the zealous Kai and Ren pass it off as just being Lutoh's trap for them.

Zetsu and his 10 freaking bind warpers.

Princess Fine uses her cursed bind warper and is provoked by Zetsu into releasing her evil side again.

I love Zetsu so much lol The madman is handling ten bind warpers at once! I doubt Fine will be a match for him even in her lunatic state. Rudolph is the one for him as can be seen in the new OP. Speaking of new OP and ED, I like quite like them. Op in particular is more visually interesting that the one before.
Liked the episode, great action and quite intense. Can't wait to see Zetsu vs Fine and inevitable Rudolph fight.

The Emperor is really using 10 BIND WARPERS. 10! How tf does the power scaling even work in this show? Prax was initially stronger than Back. I'm guessing the leaders of both nations are equal in strength. But the princess has the attack/support type in the light and dark forms which is really interesting. I also like Kai's argument with Back and how much of a hypocrite Kai is. The argument is very much so like why are we spending billions to explore space when there are many ppl in poverty? Well, because humans becoming an multi planetary species can ensure the survival if the human race which is better for the long term. Pooling the resources of multiple planets can also curb poverty if theres more to go around. Kinda like how lingalands problems are partially because they are isolated. Last thing is Kai escaped poverty with Shu but Kai never did anything to help anyone that was in his situation. Instead he was laser focused on killing Shu and now Back. Excited for next week!

Oh, the new oped. The song were not so good than the previous one, honestly. I hope it grow more as the time goes by. The new visual actually showed something interesting. Rudolph in those body? Fighting Zetsu? No way! Well, with how he lurked everything from that screen, its not possible to actually seeing him to finally get down right away to enjoying that nuance. Battle is good for your health, supreme lord.

Anyway, Arrow still persistent to realized Kai foolish one-sided anger. His eyes already got blocked by Zetsu charm. So, yeah, good luck fighting that annoying general and his woman in the backbone. Its too hard. Then, deadlock for Lutoh? No. The lover princess finally got down to hype those things up. Lovsolute? Perfect name. She even healed everyone. Perfect conviction. But, its not long enough until Zetsu coming too to get everything into a chaos.

Okay. Thats a hype. Zetsu just too powerful with his shinra tensei. The alter Princess awakened again to tried making the old geezer licking her shoes. The battle between two eccentric characters finally happened. No need a love in the battlefield. Rushing adrenaline sounds more legit. But, the question is, Rudolph when?

I am going to miss the first OP, but the new OP and ED fucking slaps. I prefer the old visuals for the ED though, but the new ED song is definitely better. Damn, we prolly gonna see Rudolph and Zetsu fight, let's fucking go.

Pretty good episode, my favorite so far. Princess Fine is a whole ass op support lmao, it's honestly perfect for her, spread the love. Bruh, Zetsu really wearing like 10 bind warpers lmao. Evil Fine is back! Evil Fine's briheight looks sick. 2nd cour is off to a good start, looking forward to the next episode.

Wow. This really improvd a lot ... with this episode. I had expected a plot twist at the end of the 1st cour. With the big war ending and them going outside the wall. But it was pretty clear that this would not happen - with this pacing.

Now in the new OP the emperor seemed to fight some other guy. I bet that is someone from outside the wall. (Maybe Back Arrows father lol? :D) Rudolph guy seems to do stuff just for his entertainment. (The guard seemd to have dropped the Bind Warper - and probably on Rudolph's orders to get the princess to fight.)

Princess probably will win - and manage to somehow control her other personality to bring her out only for fighting. Then reveal of info about stuff outside the wall from the Zetsu Daidan once he got beaten.

Just a bit slower and more info about the wall later ... maybe in the last third instead of the 2nd half.

Completely agree with you. It's so obvious.
Alright I'll give it to the haters on other episodes but this episode must be the best one so far, all the mecha action was well animated, we got to see more about the emperor and nothing dumb happened in the whole episode.
What's wrong with these people.

Good episode! Enjoyable fight.

But if the emperor of the "republic" can level entire mountains, why didn't he lead from the beginning? It seems he enjoys fighting. No, it seems there's nothing he wants more in his life than to fight. He should have been widening that path from the beginning.

Is there no one on the Lutoh side who will help the princess when the enemy emperor is picking on her?


So, this has 59.9 "hated it" votes. The obvious bot votes should be removed.

For some reason this convinced me that the two personalities will be merged, to form an extra strong fighter. And a princess who is tough and good at the same time.

I guess the OST has been changed. I actually love the 1st OP, the 2nd OP is kinda OK, I guess...

LOL, using not 1 but 10 of those ring warpers. wew~
And Rekka's king is seriously crazy taunting the princess like that.
Now who is the craziest one?
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.
