| Man, the expression and reaction of Rose seeing all those who fell in battle...heartbreaking and horrifying. It's understandable tough given what the demon army have done to them. Rose put all her effort to not just survive but fight for the sake of her comrades. I feel like Rose's shout wasn't just pain but also a grim reality of death really is. This episode goes to show that Rose truly valued her party members. |
 |
| So that's how Rose lost her eye, eh? In the murky depths of the Darkness of Llinger, Rose's forces clash fiercely with the Demon Lord's Army. Just as Rose and her soldiers begin to assert dominance, Nero, a commanding figure among the enemy ranks, issues a ruthless command, urging his troops to charge heedless of their own safety. With each passing moment, Rose's comrades fall, casualties of the brutal exchange. Nero presses on relentlessly, his onslaught driving Rose to the brink of fury, her composure shattered in the face of unyielding assault. This episode escalated quickly with Owl's demise being fairly predictable since she wasn't part of the present. Rose's retaliation against the demon was a powerful scene. The challenge posed by this stupid Darkness of Llinger continues to trouble the Rescue Squad, regardless of whether they're dealing with it in the past or present. I love how they go into Rose's grief, it adds depth to her character. Despite her pain, Rose remains a strong and determined character. It's heartening to see her finally able to find that person she was finding for, with Usato. Now, back to the present, we’re gearing up for war, there's a hope that the mistakes of the past won't be repeated. |

| Whoever said she was a hidden antagonist, they couldn't be more wrong. Another best girl died. What a tragic episode. I finally get to see this adapted. Owl's voice is so cute... (reminds me of Roxy from MT) Rose and Usato can finally be 🚢 together... not that I want to. 😏 |

| 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. |
| I expected tragedy and I got a handful of that. It’s nice to see that the vice commander’s final words finally clicked in for her to move past the incident and she’s finally found someone like her in our main character. Nothing’s more terrifying than a troop who’ve no regard for life, huh? Didn’t expect the demons to take that up… Looks like the bad demon commander did die after all? At least that’s the vibe from the end there. Time to face the little disciple that she let go now. That’s not going to be easy either, I’m sure. |

| We got the conclusion to Rose's backstory and it's a shame that none of her party members survived, and that Aul sacrificed herself to save her. At this point I'm not sure who that black knight could be but I have a feeling that Usato will have to deal with him. |
| Wow how weak was that team to get destroyed like that. The panic and lack of resolve was very pathetic. Who the hell trains these losers? |

| @Vooo I agree, imagine a bunch of supposedly well-trained soldiers getting killed by a household hammer, lol. Overall, I really enjoyed this backstory episode though. |
| Best episode until now. I got a little emotive by the end, i can only hope that this get a second season one day. |
 |
| It wasn't really like we learned anything new from these two episodes... I don't think they were completely necessary, they lacked emotional impact because we weren't attached to any of those characters in the first place and we already knew what would happen to them and how it affected Rose... But if they made the background story even longer it would have been too boring to watch. All in all, I didn't hate it but I'm glad we are back to the main storyline. |

| TWO EPISODES OF FLASHBACK - WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS ANIME ANYWAY!! This anime had so much potential, and it's just thrown it all away - I'm disgusted and nearly ready to drop it!!!!!!!!! |

| Well we knew it was coming but it doesn’t make Aul and the battalion’s death any easier.. very emotional episode that showed Rose’s transition to the character we’ve come to know and love now. “Continue to be the person we admire” 😢 man I wish things had gone differently for Aul. Rose could’ve gone for the kill on Nero too but refused to because of Amilia being there.. reminded her too much of Aul.. Josh’s parents stopping Rose on the street to thank her for reforming their son was such a sweet moment. She was understandably down in the dumps and felt she let her subordinates down, but the reality is she changed all of their lives for the better and they were more than willing to die in battle under her. Her seeing their spirits or imagining their presence, however you wanna classify it, was such a nice scene too. The great Rose breaking down and crying.. showing her vulnerability was a touching moment. Instead of wallowing in her grief she’s determined to honour their memory by training a new generation for the upcoming fight.. perfect way to lead us into this big battle.. and she’s got Usato now too who is exactly the type of person she’s been wanting to fight alongside. I hope we finally get into the war next week. Been ready for this war for like 4 weeks now lol. |

| We saw her only for 2 episodes but Aul will be missed, she was so cute. Very emotional episode, we could see it coming but it was hard to watch anyway... |
| At first I thought these 2 flashback episodes will contain something important for the plot, but now we all can clearly see that it wast just a waste of time. Wasting half of episode on Rose telling her story, and then having 2 weeks of flashbacks about the same story in a row were a complete letdown... guidipolito said: The well-trained party had no useful ability whatsoever even being in a fantasy world. Are you talking about ability to swipe your sword to kill someone? Then they shouldn't have joined her squad.🤷♂️🤷♂️ |

This episode is hard to watch even though I know what's gonna happen to the first generation party. Or it could be that it's hard to watch BECAUSE I know what's gonna happen to them.
Rose is such a great character, a kind that I usually see in male character, so it's nice to see her being a female and also being great at the same time.
Meanwhile I assume there's some kind of surprise information on who's that black knight.

| @phantomfandom I will not be surprised if the black knight form the demon army is also an isekai character from their original world. Spoiler maybe.?? |
| The backstory continues and as expected, Rose old team gets massacred, it was brutal. However, the ending was pretty wholesome with Rose complimenting Usato. Next week, we will finally see the start of the war! |
| I know a lot of people didn't like how long this flashback was but I really loved it and made me appreciate Rose as a character way more. I was tearing up by the end of this ep. There is still 4 episodes left so I am not too worried about the pacing. |
| Boy this flashback really made Rose and her squad look dumb. The demons' plan only worked cause they panicked and fumbled hard. Also so super convenient that the bad guy just happened to have a mana disabling sword |
| That ... that was a 10/10 episode! We already knew Rose's team died, but seeing how it all happened was still shocking. And then when Rose was all alone in the mess hall and her team came back and reminded her she needs to live and STILL be the commander they all respected, OMG the feels (T.T) I just couldn't help crying. Expected an average isekai, wasn't expecting a hard hitting yet emotional backstory and now loving Rose even more as a character. This is how you do a backstory. During a break in the story, and not thrown into the middle of some fight (looking at you, Demon Slayer Swordsmith Village Arc). |

| RIP cute senpai would be. Sadge that current MC ends up with burly men instead... . Rose's downfall was cause she didn't think the Demon would commit Kamikaze... Which is even more ironic when Rose let that Demon commander go cause the Demon dude apparently also had a rookie that looked similar to Owl (Aul)... The Flashback was extra sad when Rose reminiscence about her party members and talked to their "ghosts" (aka inside Rose's head, cause she's gone crazy) before they "left" . LOL @ Usato's reaction to Rose complimenting him with "I am glad I found you" . Also... did Rose just mentioned "I need a healer that can run around and taking out threats"?... not "run around and heal"? HUH? LOL... So she doesn't really want a healer, but rather some sort of Monk that heals and fight at the front? . Dark Knight: "I don't care if they're monsters or not" OH... You'll going to be seeing REAL Monsters... I can already see Rose and Usato going crazy on the battlefield... |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Oof tragic flashback do be tragic. Waiting to see how the upcoming battle will turn out |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |

| @Vooo They held against beings that are explicitly stronger and have more mana than them even though they were massively outnumbered until their enemy used suicide rush. Well, it's true they lost their composure, but Linger until that point was peacfull nation. I doubt any of squad member even experienced actual fight against someone that posed danger to them. |
| Back to back flashback episodes, normally they would bore me but this actually made me look forward more to the future events, we all knew Rose lost her previous comrades but giving us this background episode made me care more for her past trauma and the future battle that is going to happen against the demons, since she has a score to settle. |
| I usually hate flashback episodes, especially two in a row - but I love Rose and her story so I enjoyed this quite a bit. |
 |
| very sad episode but this take too long duration |
| So this is how Rose was made... Rose. She was already quite strong but that experience forged her into being stronger; it was also what made her establish her current brutal healing magic training. Arguably the best episode yet. I expected Nero Argence was going to be Amila's brother but he was her master after all. But who is that fully armored demon? Could he be the demon sword in demon form? So Amila thinks the rescue team are "kidnappers who steal the wounded". This and the willingness to sacrifice their own in battle shows how different the demons are. |
 |
| Already knew this was gonna happen but it was still hard to watch, Aul my girl and the rest of them. The despair Rose must have felt, damn. I want to see them kick Amilla's ass, trying to act like the victim, like bruh. Btw uh is the black knight Aul by some chance? Maybe they used the cursed sword to do something to her. They do seem to have that same cursed aura. |
 |
| Still enjoyable but feels like its lost its pacing a bit, i guess they want to build to a finale for the end of a season, it was nice to see ross's backstory but it feels very much like it would of been better as single episode. |
