Is Akari really prepared to leave? She and Menou had one of the closest relationships in this show.

Meanwhile, we got another case this episode and yikes, Orwell revealed a more sinister side to her character. Always felt something fishy and off about her. Felt bad that Akari gets treated like an outsider than a normal person.

One of my fave eps so far, Momo and Ashuna are gonna make a great team. Think we all knew the Archbishop was up to no good, but I wonder who’s pulling her strings since she can’t be the big bad. Excited for next week’s ep to see how Menou handles things. This and summertime render are what I look forward to the most every week.

What a plot twist. Damn that old hag.

This show is getting better and better.

Curious what the rest of the season, and in turn, the series will be about. As coincidental as it is she happened to be exploring the same tunnel at the same time, seeing the snarky Momo bouncing off the more boisterous Ashuna was and still is a pretty fun dynamic.

That said, it feels a bit. . .sudden for so much motivation from the church lady to be just using young girls to try and restore her youth. Like I could buy it if it were a spur-of-the-moment thing upon Menou telling her about Akari's power, but the dialogue implies she was cultivating Menou herself to plan on doing that for 10 years which feels like an oddly inordinate amount of planning. The fight next episode suggests could be cool, but I hope there's a more interesting reason for the story to expand from here.

Akari sure has the hots for Menou, while the focus is still on the missing women in Garm that's Momo's mission given to her with Menou straggling Akari along until the execution.

While Menou's face paint a desolate picture of the sacrificial ceremonial hall, Momo finding Princess Ashuna in the underground sewers beneath the royal palace working for the same issue is another exercise in frustration. When both situations are combined together, this is more than just the Faust or Noblesse alone: the underground teleportation was a heretical cooperative effort between the two, and Menou only realized her faults when Momo got to her and told her the truth that Archbishop Orwell was behind this farce. What a plot twist that definitely didn't see it coming.

Using Akari's Pure Concept of Time for her own gain, Orwell has both the Noblesse and Faust within the control of her hands to hide her true self, and baring her fangs now showcases the explicit use of Otherworlders for more than just extermination.

This series has the Yuri moments in check, but don't overlook the story.

its not a "coincidence,"

orwell planned to summon the lost ones who only have the ability related to 'immortality' since the beginning

thats why,
akari with the power to manipulate Time
and the boy with the power to Null Everything who answered the prayers

not even the king (princess ashuna's daddy)
and all the noblesess who colluded with orwell knew about this OG plan

granny orwell is just scared of death. you see, in their last moments people show you who they really are lol

she was a hero but she has lived for far too long, she's now starting to become the villain

I think I have to conclude that the silly fanservice of Dawn of the Witch is the added spice that makes it slightly more palatable than this, though it could also be that it's actually a bit more character focused. Like that one's episode this week, this one was mostly filler and the animation was godawful. See how they just stand there motionlessly and emit lasers? And how there's an explosion that they are unaffected by? Truly a compelling fight that really sells how formidible this opponent is. Put the tiniest damn bit of effort in, JC Staff. Stop doing overly detailed close-ups of eyes.

In any case, the first half was Yet Another Date bit, for both the pairs of girls, and then the second half was entirely a villainous monologue explaining that the obviously evil church was obviously evil. All this was a plot to drain their precious bodily fluids because… well, look, they're evil. That's all that matters. We're not revealing that this supposedly benevolent group of seemingly good people had some ulterior motive. We started out with them being crazy psychopaths brainwashing children to fight the greater evil. Moving to full fledged Satanic cult with two cackling lunatics at the top instead of just one isn't a big twist or grand reveal.

This episode was really good. The mini date between Akari and Menou was cute to see. Akari being a bit jealous that Menou wasn't going to give her something, she really is into her kek, but seeing the little arrangement that she made on her hairband was cute.

Momo and Ashuna find themselves together once again and we finally get to see a little of Momo's past, she surely appreciates those ribbons. And the plot twist of Orwell being a bad guy and wanting to take Akari's pure concept of time to herself. Can't wait for next episode, let's see how Menou and Akari can get out of this.

Hoh... And I wondered what kind of plot-twist would prevent Akari's death.

First, I thought she would turn back time again suddenly, but we got a better one! Turns out the Church is bunch of evildoers. (This immediately explains Why Menou is dead in the OP).
-_- Damn... Anime does love turning the church into a den of fanatics and evildoers...

Anyways, now we see a window in Akari's and Menou's relationship. Though it's still hard to guess how Menou and Akari can survive here without some miracle or deus-ex first.

I'll hope for Akari to reverse time again (just like previously people will likely realize that time was reversed). Maybe the time will be reversed to the moment Menou still had her book? This way the two may escape together somehow.

It's really interesting how the story will go from now on though. I mean, will Menou tell Akari the truth? Menou will surely be hurt to realize she's been lied to - the last moment, and was even led to her death with a fake smile... Anyways, what will the 4 main characters do now? It seems like they will have to fight both the nobility and the church! Is there a place to run to? Any allies?

Most important part though - The Isekaid people! - Are they really as dangerous as we were told? Now that we know the Church is bunch of assholes, maybe the Isekai'd people aren't actually some "ticking bombs?"
Of course, it's possible that some Isekai'd people may go crazy (just like any "normal" human is capable of doing evil shit). BUT, it's also highly likely that the Isekai'd people go crazy after the Church manipulates them or experiments on them or something!!! We now learned that the Church can erase personalities!!! That's a huge No-No! Now I already suspect that the 4 great errors happened because some dumbass tryed to manipulate the Isekai'd people and failed and this resulted in them going berserk and almost destroying a planet.
Since the main villain here wants to exploit Akari, it's possible that exploitations of Isekai'd people was done in the past too (The king obviously did the same thing too, so I won't be surprised if that's the case. Actually, I'll be hoping that that's the case!).

I'm conflicted. On one hand, I thought this was the best episode yet, since it actually moved forward on the plot and was rather interesting. I liked that Orwell was using Menou as a 'vessel' of some kind (it wasn't really elaborated on what it meant), it made sense in context of her upbringing. This episode also explained SOME of the BS about Noblesse. On the other hand, I thought it was contrived in many moments.

First off, I want to say that I really don't care about Akari as a character. She hasn't had enough screen time for me to connect with her compared to Menou and Momo: this is considering she's part of the main cast. I actually like Ashuna and Momo's duo energy a lot more. Although, seeing how casual Ashuna was made her duel with Momo back on top of the train even more unbelievable. That did not need to happen.

Secondly, the twist that Faust, or at least one area of their faction are corrupted themselves doesn't answer anything meaningful yet. This came out of nowhere. Orwell had no setup, nor implication that suggested she wished for youth through Akari, or that she had secret intentions with her, which means this could've been resolved earlier. In turn, it's paid off with exposition. This isn't technically 'wrong' storytelling or anything, but it's not necessarily good.

Why was the test site for Grisarika's summoning kept so much more secret (as it should've been) than Grisarika's summoning itself, to the point where Mitsuki could leak that information? How prepared were they for Akari? Awfully convenient considering that when Menou reported this, Orwell had already talked about the hall, where they could reliable kill Akari: which turned out to be a hall to steal a person's personality and soul. Did they know a Pure Concept of time would be summoned? I believe these kind of questions could've been (partly) avoided by dealing with it earlier than now.

I don't know why Orwell mentioned separating Momo as being a part of a good plan. She didn't need to do it that way: she could've given Momo another job entirely and thrown her off potentially into an even MORE elaborate trap. Ashuna was still there of course. In fact, I'm going to argue that Ashuna is probably the most interesting character right now, Momo after that.

I still think we could be taught more about the powers. Nothing makes sense because you come to that conclusion, it's being told to you. Menou mentioned Orwell has 'three primary colour gems!' but to the anime-only, you have jackshit what that means. Apparently they can steal the soul and personality from people: I'm wondering how new this technique is supposed to be, because it seems extremely handy in dealing with Lost Ones, assuming it works. Back in episode 1, I was excited to learn more about the etheric powers, because it seemed unique. Still not a lot up to this point; so I hope we get more.

Other than all of that, I thought it was a good episode overall and an improvement from the previous ones. Ngl, the stuff with Akari was boring, but I like Ashuna and Momo so far. The twist was also interesting enough to keep me wanting to see what comes next. I'm still worried about the structure of this, so I won't hold my hopes too high and expect the best answer. Hopefully it pays off.

I won't lie this episode made me really question the plot entirely, I don't really get why Menou would oppose them when she was basically raised alongside the church to be a villian the whole time. They are aware they are not the good guys and now this somehow completely turned things on it's head. It was pretty clear that the powers are bad as well and it was just protective matter of the world, but I don't think them taking the powers would really have someone you basically brainwashed into working with you, turn on you like that.

amazing episode. That old woman had a counter to the sonic attack. And I'm surprised that Menou's scripture can be used as a bomb as well. lol

so sweet when Menou crafted a headband for Akari.

very much looking forward to next week. :)

I can not help but think the show would be better if it just dropped the main couple and the isekai angle and went with Momo and Ashuna as lesbian stalkers forced to work together to fight crime. Momo could be chasing after her church handler and Ashuna would be after her.

just cuz there's one archbishop is corrupted due to old age,
it doesnt mean the whole or everyone in the church is also as corrupted as archbishop orwell you know

based on the Hierarchy of the church alone, we all know archbishop doesn't lead the church

there are many archbishops, above em
there are still many cardinals and then lastly the pope

archbishop orwell Was a hero,
she did Save many people in her prime or when she was younger or when she's not as old as now

but everything changed when death started to creep on her and she's starting ro lose herself due to old age,
this is the very definition of

"You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain"

its just one archbishop tho, its too early to assume that "the chruch is bad"

based on the Hierarchy of the church alone,
we all know archbishops are not the leader of the church. there are still cardinals and then the pope

yes, the lost ones are dangerous as hell



but ofc there will be some people who manipulate or exploit the power of the lost ones

the summoners and the lost ones cant be separated after all,
each of these summoners obviously must have had some agendas beforehand

thats exactly why they say,
"the 4 major human errors"
and not the
"the 4 major lost one errors"
right?

Another great episode!

While the "twist" of the church (or at least Orwell's part) being evil was extremely obvious due to meta knowledge we have (otherwise it was well hidden for anyone not aware of tropes honestly) the execution of it was very nice. The purpose why Orwell wants to do this makes sense and she didn't miss this incredible opportunity that showed up to her with Akari's Pure Concept. How she handled the whole plan was very smart as well, completely fooling Menou with her fake kindness (Menou needs to learn a lesson or two from her!) While splitting her from her partner with this bait mission and getting Akari exactly where she wanted without raising suspicion. I'm sure that everything would have gone perfectly smoothly for her if the very perceptive Ashuna didn't end up in the worst possible place for Orwell, breaking the communication block placed where Momo was... and, well, despite that she still has everything under control by the end of the episode.

I also really want to mention how much I love the Momo and Ashura interactons, their banter is too freaking funny! Really good contrast of personalities and it's cool to see how despite their different roles they still work together when needed.

Very curious to see how the girls manage to get out of this big predicament, next Friday can't come soon enough.

You sly dog! You got me monologuing! I can't believe it.

Of course, a moustache twriling villian could only make a big "here I am" gesture with a long monologue while absolutely nothing happens. Shows like these use the "talking is a free action" trope as the core of infodumping and presenting plot twists or just simple story passages.

Meh, the whole materializing spells thru books and magically RGB staffs feel quite cheap (not that the cheap-o blood summons look any more enticing anyway) making the pseudo action scenes less interesting than they already are.

It's a good unfold of the story. Especially, the 30 seconds of direction starting with the incoming message through the bible was very well. The vivid zoom up of the archbishop's bloodshot eye froze the air. The following BGM for the combat reminded me of the rapid turn of events of "Code Geass".

After last week's slower episode, this episode was really good. I mean we all expected a turning point. I am interested in the next episode since we will receive much-needed information about where the rest of the story will be headed. Altho the church being evil isn't the most surprising thing.

Considering all the talk about Flare has been past reflective. If she is dead I do wonder if the Archbishop had something to do with it.

wait what?

Im having a trouble understanding your logic here


even the episode itself has already explained what orwell used to be in her young days,
she's not a villain just for the sake of it

not to mention

in comparison to the amount of people she saved in the past, she didnt even kill that many either

she's not even as cruel and as crazy as the villain from full metal alchemist who sacrificed millions in order to create philosopher stones, you know?

based of whom you accused orwell as just another evil villain with a typical evil reasons? lol

This is getting even more exciting. I wouldn't say that the turn of events was a shocker but it's a good build up. Tho I didn't expect that Orwell was after immortality.

All according to baba plan? Well, i don't think so. Prepare for reverse uno card from Akari ...

Well, a bit of sad honestly having the old Archbishop turned out to be the real villain. My feeling actually a bit of right too when she's suddenly giving a weird shady mission even when Menou already had a hands full with her mission to babysit Akari.

I thought there's something more of it since i feel like she's quite manage to stay true to be a gentle woman, from what i've seen in the past four episode. Though at the end of the day, the cliche plot coming through, the old woman really had a great scheme behind all of Menou effort to stay true to the executioner way.

Feelsbadman, more importantly after the Archbishop announced they must be eliminated, not to mention she also missed Akari offer to bathing together. Turning point, but also the starting point for Menou and Akari to get over a new journey. After they done defeating that baba...

I don't care about her past, but right now, she's just another evil villain with a typical evil reasons.


wait what?

Im having a trouble understanding your logic here


even the episode itself has already explained what orwell used to be in her young days,
she's not a villain just for the sake of it

not to mention

in comparison to the amount of people she saved in the past, she didnt even kill that many either

she's not even as cruel and as crazy as the villain from full metal alchemist who sacrificed millions in order to create philosopher stones, you know?

based of whom you accused orwell as just another evil villain with a typical evil reasons? lol

Bruh, I never said she's a villain just for the sake of it. I'm talking about how she could be a morally grey villain, but now she's clearly just another evil villain. Wanting to be young again or pretty much immortality is such a typical villain goal.

actually,
despite everything orwell still does her job properly, she will kill akari (the lost one)

are you implying the church method in handling the lost ones is "evil"?

not really imo,
we're talking about very very dangerous interdimensional being/"humans" who could accidentally destroy the world
right?
and they caused at least 4 major calamities already

so what evil you're referring to here?
orwell is still needed for the chruch, I mean in episode 1 its showcased that she's strong enough to one-shot one of the lost ones

whats so evil about sacrificing dozens of people for a true hero like orwell?
she simply wants to retain her youth,
she doesnt want to die due to old age

I think its normal for anyone to be a lil bit selfish, especially when you're already quite old

I don't know why you're talking about church when I don't even mention it and the fact that you don't even see how evil it is for murdering innocent for such a selfish reason is such an edgy trait.

So all this time... Everything Menou was told about the isekaid folks a lie? Tbh I kinda expected that. And the old hag using Akari's Pure Concept just to make her young again. Not only that they are the ones (I presume) that erased the isekaid folks personality so they end up with nothing but their Pure concept. Kinda glad this episode pretty much answers everything I question this show. Otherwise, this was a meh episode. Five episodes in and Finally I'm intrigued.

Nope. Everything about the otherworlders still true. You're going to see it soon because it'll adapt two LN vol.

innocents?

dude, theyre dangerous INTERDIMENSIONAL beings who almost ended the world 4 times already lol

did you even make an attempt to watch episode 1?
the lost ones are not just your regular "innocent" you could randomly find anywhere

would you mind having these dangerous INTERDIMENSIONAL "humans" as your Neighbors? lol

who would you choose to kill,

dozens of ordinary people or one doctor who can heal and save millions of people?

saving orwell is a pretty rational choice,
her life obviously outweighs those dozens of random women

Here we go, plot twist. Ended up Orwell is actually used Lost Ones and Menou to gave her eternal youth, kinda acceptable reason why she's villain now.

I don't know why you always bring up something that I never stated to begin with, but yes I'm talking about those random women, and using rational choice doesn't mean it can't be evil.
