Alright, so more of Vanessa's backstory has been revealed, the Witch Queen literally only care about making herself stronger, whatever it takes. She wanted to control destiny by using Vanessa, but in the end, the Queen is left with her looking down, defeated in such an imperfect state. Her scythe was only showed for a few seconds, but that was cool.

Vanessa's power to control fate is literally OP as fuck! What even... Nothing can even escape from the cat itself! Even Asta's anti-sword can't cut it down! There are so many possibilities that can be used in so many scenarios, this ability is scary powerful!

In one of Vanessa's flashback scene, there was a hairy person in the Black Bulls base... Another member???

The very spell the Queen of Witches wanted to use to her advantage ended up being used against her... Heck yeah! I don't know anything about any of the future abilities but Vanessa's control over fate is definitely one of the most op abilities ever.

And, honestly, I got chills. When Vanessa shouted "Don't hurt her" for the second time, everything really did seem to pause... I just REALLY love this episode.

Damm its pretty chilling seeing Asta in his dark form just calmly walking up to his friends like that. Its good that Asta;s will is still able to resist the queen's hold though. Man the witch queen sure has a warped idea of what a family is. Due to this Vanessa's childhood sure was a harsh and lonely one. The insight into how meeting Yami ended up in providing Vanessa with the speak that she needed to escape though was pretty insightful. Seeing Vanessa use these memories as fuel as she stood up to the queen sure was fun. Though it was quite the close call seeing Vanessa turn the tide and humble the queen sure was satisfying.

Vanessa has a depressing backstory, but at this point I'm just going to assume every member of the Black Bulls does. The ability to control fate is overpowered so I hope there is some huge costs to using it, plus the cat was adorable. I enjoyed seeing a "timeline" of Noelle dying and some of the others to show off that this indeed would have happened if Vanessa didn't obtain this power. I'm also okay with her having this power as the Queen had been talking about how she would be able to use this power eventually since she was a little girl.

How is she able to control asta when he has anti magic? That kitten is a really op concept. Hopefully it isnt op like it is in my head. Asta fight was incredibly op. Everything feels so overpowered that it feels uncomfortable to watch. Doesnt feel natural for me atleast. Hopefully the series gets better though.

Adorable kitty saves the day!

Looks like the animation is back to normal, but it's still looking better than usual. This is probably my favorite arc in the series so far, can't wait to see what happens next.

Also, Vanessa is best girl and that's a fact

The Queen's power manipulates blood that's way too scary more so if she uses it on people and can control their actions that are way too disturbing

We got to see a little more from Vanessa's past when she was still locked up that's just way too cruel for the Queen to do that to her

Vanessa just awoken new magic, To control fate itself, honestly, I can't bear to watch this episode it's too intense specifically when Asta tries to kill them a scene that just pops up that really didn't happen, That cat is just too damn cute also just as the OP teased.


(P.C. wow the Queen role-playing with her puppets and seemingly Vanessa saw the moment and had a little chuckle little Vanessa was cute as well just too pure to be imprisoned)

Damn you fate for not making Noelle die.

Great episode!!!!! I really like Vanessa’s development and how that mysterious yet simple, quiet yet powerful, and not at all over the top, little kitty is the manifestation of her growth & awakening.

How did she not fall in love with Yami ♡_____♡

How Vanessa was able to acquire the power to defy freaking fate and destiny I don't know, and I don't care. I felt twice as much emotion here as I did from the last episode, and it just seemed to be better directed overall.

And allow me to state the obvious and just say that Yami is f*cking awesome

While I appreciate the effort to establish a significant consequence to Asta's powerup shown last episode in the form of a threat from the very party who facilitated it to murder a fair number of his friends, the fact that it gets resolved in a single episode makes it an incredibly underwhelming counterbalance to the immense power Asta has received. Moreover, the newfound ability Vanessa has conjured as an answer to this trial is somewhat OP. Her backstory is captivating enough, and I like the fact that she uses the very power The Witch abusively tried to awaken in her against her in a brutal rejection of her familyhood. But I'm afraid this might be one of those powerups that is either excessively OP or loosely explained (or both).

I'm personally hoping that, like in the episode, the cat will have to touch the doer of a given action to undo it (so the cat won't be able to stay on someone on our side basically making them invincible in any battle moving forward), and that there's a strict time-limit (so she can't undo events that happened days or weeks or years ago, for instance).

And I also hope that Asta won't be able to go willy-nilly with his powerup either. I understand this might not be the case given that The Witch "removed the constraints to his inner power", but I'm hoping that the removal of her curse to control Asta's blood also results in less ability for Asta to use his powers as well as he did last episode.

The art was fairly pretty tho.

the atmosphere in this confrontation was so tense and had a sweet juxtaposition with all the kitty cat sounds.

I hope Vanessa gets a full fight when she mastered her destiny controlling ability.

Wow Van-neesan got a massive power-up and a cute companion! The Black Bulls are fast becoming a squad to be feared.

I'd be interested to see what caused the transformation of Vanessa from a shy witch girl into the lecherous drunken woman we know her as today. Also interested to see how Yami was able to infiltrate the witch queen's domain with very little effort. If the Clover King (not the Magician King) knew this, wouldn't he want to mount a force to take over this kingdom?

Queen is the worst. Doing nothing to stop the invasion and then try to kill everyone who helps save her "forest".

Hope she dies...
@Rukodaime91 She lost both her daughter whose power she was trying to awaken as well as the anti-magic sword.

Although I agree with the fact that the witches in the forest were ungrateful to their saviors as could be.

While I think she saved her powers and din't intervene for plot reasons, so as to surprise Asta and take control of him when the fighting subsided, in reality it's really just bad writing and plot progression on the part of the author.

Great episode.

We finally got the complete flashback for Vanessa and well, I think it's understandable why she's drinking a lot and always wears revealing clothes xD

Her newly gained ability is pretty op, tho.
@FMmatron yeah that power is too OP
