| Definitely feels like there's character rivalries going on in the battles this episode. It also invovled all the major cast too which is kinda exciting. A lot of abilities used and Tenka herself faced a trouble in the fight. Yikes. Might be the best episode so far imo but all the cast got challenged a lot this time around. |
 |
| The fights are on! As Koko shows off her slippery Peach ability, Shushu attacks her with a huge boulder. But Kumadouji jumps in, knocking Shushu down. Koko escapes and heals instantly. Meanwhile, Himari and Yachiho prepare to fight Akura and the Shuuki team. Yachiho tells Himari to follow her lead since she's less experienced. Himari shoots at the Shuuki with a machine gun arm, but Akura deflects the bullets with a spear. Yachiho freezes time for five seconds, then shoots at Akura, but Akura fights back, tearing Yachiho's clothes. Elsewhere, Tenka and Aoba keep fighting while Yuuki is stuck watching. Aoba can fire a cero blast, even with the same sound effect. But Tenka's ability is still the best. Koko was brutal flexing on Shushu like that. A lot of the girls seem a little yandere if you look closely. It feels tense because I like all of them. Respect to the creators for making us care about them all. I was anxious since this is by the Akame ga Kill author. I disliked how one-sided that this episode was, but the twist here has me holding off judgment. Tenka isn't just trash talking to rile up the enemy, she fully believes treating her as a sister-in-law. Glad the other two aren't dead, even if hurt badly. Tenka is 100% committed to her sister-in-law mindset. Amazing. Those guys from last episode appeared too. The winged dark elf druid is even stronger than expected. Yeah Yuuki, bare your fangs against the gods while chained! It's a CG vs CG battle... lol. This show needs better animation. |

| 4:38 我は姉なり (ware wa ane nari, pronounced as "Invincible". This is gikun (義訓) - reading of a kanji by meaning) actually means "I am an older sister", but it's written in an archaic way to sound cooler, so I don't have complaints with the translation. 6:33 Okay, this is an interesting one. 水も滴る風雲児 (pronounced as "Coco juice") 水も滴る (mizu mo shitataru) - lit. "even water will drip" - to be splendidly handsome (I guess it refers to smooth skin?) 風雲児 (fūunji) - lit. "wind cloud child" - lucky adventurer; adventurer who takes advantage of troubled times; soldier of fortune. So it's like "Handsome lucky adventurer" 10:22 隠された美 (kakusareta bi) - "hidden beauty", but it's pronounced the same as 一人静 (hitorishizuka) - lit. "alone quiet" - Chloranthus japonicus (it's a flower) The hell is that gun hair lmao 19:55 Jouryuu's name is written as 壌竜 - "earth/soil dragon" Nice episode, I hope everyone starts cooperating after the fight with these "gods". Last one next week. |

| Each squad has blended well. It was AMAZING this time. We see the real battle from Aoba and Kyouka's camp. However, an unexpected incident happened, Shikoku came and seemed to be targeting Aoba. And also she kidnapped Naon and Koko. Now we are getting closer to the end.  |

Tenka’s visions of the future are so sweet.  |
| Shushu v Koko was decided from the moment Koko bragged about licking Yuuki clean lmao. Having just seen invincible s2 e5 her shrinking and exploding kuma from the inside hit different.. IYKYK Yachiho and Himari team up was just what I needed. Their abilities really complimented one another in the fight. Hopefully one day Himari will come home. It’s so cute how protective Yachiho gets about her little sister. Tenka in a massive battle vs Aoba and instead of going for the finishing blow she just worried about her future with Yuki lmao. Could’ve been a disastrous ending there if Kyouka wasn’t there to save her. At least Tenka gained a new sister in law 😂 the visions of the future better be worth it. Hopefully they come true since she’s best girl Uh oh, the “gods” are here and the unicorn is in a murderous rage. Will be a wild finale next week. He was hard enough to beat when he was tamed by Aoba, now that he’s full strength and boosted it’ll be tough. As usual some pretty mediocre animation mixed with the subpar CGI.. but it is what it is at this point. Just gotta enjoy this for what it is. |

| These girls' imaginations are great, with Shushu's imagination going wild and Tenka's being wholesome. It looks like both Kyouka's group and Aoba's group will come together to fight these gods that want to wipe out humans, looking forward to the finale. |
| Coco and Naon got beaten pretty hard. How Shushu destroyed Coco's pet shuuki was especially brutal. Meanwhile, Tenka got beaten pretty badly by Yuuki's sister. That was horrible. Ngl, I liked how Tenka imagined her future lmao. I still don't fully understand why she likes Yuuki but now I really wouldn't mind if they became family lol. Only one episode left. The post-credits scene kinda implied there'd be another season or something. Tbh I wouldn't mind another season if it's animated by a different studio lol. |
What is wrong with my brain? Why did I interpret this line as "Yuuki Wakura belongs to the United States now!"? 😂 |
| "You pissed off a girl in love, which means you were doomed from the start!" Shushu is adorable lol. The hidden gun afro on Himari tho Tenka's lying on the ground all bloodied and all she can think about is her future wholesome family life with Yuuki and the angry big sis that just beat her up lmao. |
| Fighting while maintaining calmness and focus is the best way. As if Tenka and Aoba don't have enough motivation in their battles lol. Formation S was quite the turnaround for Sahara and Shushu. Golden hour when used effectively really is one hell of a Trump card. Nice to see Himari take more of an active role as a result of how she matured from being in the 7th. Her secret weapon though wow. The gods though sure made quite the entry into the narrative. Overall a pretty heavy action heavy ep that featured also featured a good blend of character expansion on Tenka and Aoba's part. |

| @gorkthe134th I lowkey did the same lmaoo |
| I'm glad it is over next week :D I don't care about the story tbh. |

| Once again, this episode went by very quickly and ended on a cliffhanger. With the real villains finally showing up, its now time time for Yuuki to join the fight along with Kyouka and the others. Tenka's vision of being Aoba's future sister in seems pretty bright as it stopped Tenka from killing Aoba even though it nearly cost her own life. It makes me want to push harder for Yuuki x Tenka instead of Yuuki x Kyouka. Can't wait for the finale next week. |
 |
| oh look... there they go skipping shit again... ... yay... totally NOT going to us manga readers off |
 |
| Great episode. I like seeing both squads work together, and now with the Eight Thunder Gods revealing themselves, the two factions now have a common enemy. The moment between Tenka and Aoba was nice too. Don't care what anyone says, but I'm hoping for incest because Aoba is smoking hot. |
| so how is it that the kuma shuuki was destroyed inside out but recovered like nothing and the other shuuki with the arrow was killed with a few bullets? that tenka vision was nice, maybe a potential future. |
| This was quite the hype episode, both the big ecchi shows this season have delivered on the action imo but it’s just unfortunate this one didn’t completely sell it on the fanservice like the other did. That aside, really enjoyed all the fights in this one, with all the wild powers in play it really made for some unique fights with satisfying conclusions, maybe except for Tenka and Aoba on the satisfying front lol, but I respect Tenka for sparing Aoba because of Yuuki. I think the most interesting of the fights was Himari and Yachiho versus the one of the trio that has the ability to hide in walls like the Sigma Force lol, I just really enjoyed seeing things not go their way only for Yachiho to rewind and find a solution, and we even saw the reveal of a new attack from Himari which is essentially spraying and praying lol, it ended up being quite destructive tho but it did reveal the location of the enemy which allowed Yachiho to rewind and finish the job in a less suicidey way, good stuff. And of course the actual baddies showed up after everyone got worn down and played things off as if they’re gods, Aoba wasn’t having that shit tho but unfortunately was betrayed by the big lad with the horn, Shuuki will be Shuuki I suppose lol. And man I’m ngl, the moment when Yuuki finally stepped in with Kyouka on his back had me pretty hyped, now I’m excited to see what the final episode holds, and it’s crazy that I’m saying final episode already but the end of winter is nearly upon us so it makes sense, still crazy tho lol. |
| Tenka proved her best girl status by not crushing Aoba with that black hole! I think its fun how mid-fight they squeezed in fanservice using Shushus delusions and then Tenka's dream. |
 |
| damn one of the biggest misses of the season ending next week already. |
 |
| Intense Battle!! The "Gods" is here?? Whattt |
 |
| Tenka already imagining what her life with Yuuki (and Aoba) would be like xD. Shushu using Paradigm Shift from inside Kuma making it explode... damn! And then Sahara following up the attack on Coco with one of Kuma's teeth. That was great, what a teamwork! Himari Power up... that's a lot of guns. Turning her hair into guns wasn't something I would have expected haha. Full burst was awesome, I really like it. Good job Yachiho keeping your sister safe. Nooooooooooo last Nei-senpai section. |
| Wow that was a great episode, full of fights and action. Now a different faction of demons is showing up that is basically using Yuki's sister and the other peach side effect girls as pawns? Not good. |
 |
| At the very least, Shushu knows that Kuma has been well documented by the Demon Defense Force, so there's a strategy to beat it: Shushu Shrinking and enlarge from within, and Suruga's Surprise attack in disguise. For the Azuma sisters, Yachiho knows that Himari is the main target, and her Golden Hour ability is pushing towards her limit to defeat Naon and Akuma. It's for this precise decision that Himari has been holding back on her power: a Full Burst, together with Yachiho's 10-second Prime Time to cut short of their resources for the best kill. Negotiations are dead, and battle is all but inevitable. Kyouka vs. the Unihorn, and Aoba vs. Tenka, which the latter battle is not making it easy to get the approval, given that Aoba's overconsumption of the Peaches gives her power, but Tenka's Ame-no-Hitori is practically unbeatable, without a clear head and strategy. And Tenka took advantage of this to trap Aoba, though this resulted in the waver of Tenka hurting her "future" sister-in-law. Everyone gathered back in the cave...makes a grand entrance for the Eight Thunder Gods led by Shikoku the real masterminds behind the Shuuki's outrage. The finale CG battle between Kyouka and Yuuki vs. Shikoku and the reinvorgated Kidoumaru with full evil Shuuki abilities, it's a battle of the ages. |
 |
| Next episode is gonna explode with the final battle and the whole cast there. It was good watching Yuuki finally in action after a long time being tied up. I'm looking forward this battle with Kyoka, Tenka and Aoba group fighting together. |

| Wow this episode was GREAT all the battles blended well each of the girls were fighting someone that had powers that could overpower them but they persevered and beat them :D Excusing the CGI parts this studio really picked up on 2D animation was in this episode imo like the final attack that Sahara did on Coco was eye candy to me and when Aoba went supersonic mode was amazing as well as when Tenka teleported in between the fight Kyouka was having with the Shuuki was cool to me😮💨🔥 LMAO at Tenka’s delusional vision of her being married to Yuuki was so funny to me and the fact they somehow added a fanservice art with Tenka’s tits out was so unserious yet funny at the same time bc a serious fight JUST happened prior to her fantasy😭😭🤣🤣😭 So the Gods finally made a move but sadly at the end of the 11th episode of a 12 episode season anime I’m a lil sad that we’re gonna have to wait for season 2 to come out to get more content with them🥲😭 Idk if I got a type or something but just like with Yachiho and Coco, this God is my new favourite person in this show she’s so hot😍🥵 (I think I have a type💀)  |
| crucial sound effects and mixing are lacking... |

| Pretty solid episode, the fights all was pretty good, and Tenka....... man |
| himari and her sister's so gorgeous !! |
| That was a lot going on this ep. Kind of hard to comment on everything. Lol Tenka is the only who is saying she is Yuuki's gf and she's already imagining having a family with him and Aoba. |

| RIP Tenka, but that new god is pretty hot! Plot is very complicated, they want to destroy the human race... The moment where Yuuki finally awakens with the change of music was pretty good! |
| Tenka with her future dream lol, this girl. Well they got more trouble now with the gods of thunder. Finale will be one big battle. |
 |
| Dude they can't be serious. They decided to end this episode, right at that moment, where two ugly af cgi creatures were ready to jump for each other's life. Also, why is this god or whoever making ending fairies every next second??? |
 |
| That head full of machine guns really mindblowing and unexpected XD |

| I like how simple the fights were, no need to make it look all crazy, just basic tactics that work. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Basically fight scenes the whole episodes but some strats were good (like turning small and growing again once you're into the monster's body) also Tenka not attacking MC's sister because he would be sad was something especially since she got heavily wounded... now the gods group is here though, it's no joke and there's only one episode left |
 |
| I have to say that I really like how this show handles its fights. They always use some interesting tactics I wouldn't have thought of. |
| The fighting was pretty cool. Watching both squads synergise with their abilities to take down each opponent was nice, also watching the Azuma sister's duo was actually something i really wanted to see, Yachiho is honestly great to see in action for me. Tenka's hesitation that led to her getting hit was mesmerising , she believed that the humanoid was really Yuuki's sister and immediately considered her, her sister in law in an actual show of good faith, then hesitates to throw a lethal blow at Aobe, taking a lethal hit herself she didn't want to upset Yuuki but also shows the lengths she'd go to not harm him.. THIS is some actual hardcore dedication to a family cause, honestly get yourself a girl like Tenka that is this committed to a relationship and family. Thank God Aobe recognised Tenka's dedication to Yuuki instead of icing her. Also the bonus Tenka day dream after gaining Aobe's approval was, borderline whole some as shit. Yeah good luck Yuuki, Tenka's definitely a once in a life timer keeper. |

 "yabe." |
| I get that they are victims and want to save people who are getting experimented on, but why are they so bent on killing innocent people? Hostility towards the defense force is understandable, but why involve innocent people? They haven't done it yet but they just seem indifferent towards it. Now they got a common enemy, so will they team up in the next season? Hope so |
