| Those pseudo spirits, aka Nibelcole is causing alot of problems... We did get a full out battle though so this was worth waiting for. Glad they didn't leave out much in ths fight featuring Shido's allies, Kurumi, etc. This episode even reminded me that Yoshino can be a badass when she tries. The kisses though. Shido didn't hold back at all and Nibelcole got destroyed LOL. I think the battle involving him looked like a meme until the the real Kurumi joined. The clone just wanted to be useful...but what a cliffhanger, damn! |

| Let the war between Ratatoskr-AST-Kurumi and DEM begin, it's the first of a rather long battle. Origami's AST team facing a dilemma before them, and regardless of DEM's orders, they're here to do what their mission entails, which at this point, they should know friend from foe and fight alongside the Spirits. Origami facing Artemisia (Mana Tobikichi) once again, and their feud has stood the test of time, and Elliot wanting to face Ellen, Karen doesn't want that. The countless Nibeelcoles aside to leave Shido to tend to, he has become a rizz at this point to seal her powers since she originates from Beelzebub, a fragment of Nia's crystal. Regardless of their nature, Shido's kiss is a deadly weapon, which as much as it's hilarious and cringe to see him finally being a man, his power is for real. Kurumi joining him in the battle midway, still wanting his Spirit power to alter the Spirit of Origin, it's practically the reason why she wants him to experience life anew, while Shido wants the same thing for her. With her clone saving her from Nibeelcole's line of fire, their competition is on hold until DEM is defeated, and that's for the best. But hold up...a Spirit's resurrection within Kurumi? What's the deal there...we're going back to the past! |

| Shido just kiss Kurumi already 😆 His kisses are deadly weapons, he's a lucky one GOATED fantasy character for real. Battle was worth it. the ending......  |

| Lmao I love this way of fighting XD. Btw it still hasn't been explained why Shido has spirit sealing power, right? The CGI is ehhhhh... But it's a lot of characters with complicated designs flying around, so I can get behind that. RIP Kurumi clone. Wtf is that ending O_O. Reeeally looking forward to the next episode now. |
 |
| The 3DCG on characters is ripping my eyes. Especially on close ups. Simply awful. Even completely still shots would look way better. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| It's time to take down Nibelcol. Origami, Mana, Mukurou, and Yoshinou faced off against Artemisia, but she proved to be a formidable opponent against them all. The situation escalated when Nia informed them that Elen was heading their way for support, but Elen was intercepted by a rejuvenated Elliot. Meanwhile, some of the Nibelcol confronted Ratatoskr's Wizards, only to be rescued by Tohka and the Yamai siblings... with their sights set on Shidou. As Nibelcol uttered words to the Shidou, the one targeting his heart froze, her eyes widening. In that frozen moment, Shidou enveloped her in his arms, planting a kiss on her lips. Initially stunned, the Nibelcol's thoughts raced, but soon her resistance melted away, replaced by a comforting warmth. Moments later, she transformed back into paper, dissolving into particles of light. Witnessing this, the other Nibelcol followed suit, vanishing into light particles. Kissing the Nibelcol was Maria's strategy to defeat them. A Date A Live season wouldn't be complete without the classic Shidou kiss, and here we are, finally getting it. |
 |
| Shido being a womanizer as always, and that's the end of Vol 17 from Light Novel, next we will see Mio Takamiya Past Arc !!! |
 |
The CG is definitely better than last season and ok overall, but some of the scenes are just painful to look at. |
| pretty good episode idk why but kurumis personality feels so different compared to s1-s3 |
 |
| J.C. Staff at their worst have done better job at Date A Live, than this mid studio, even 1 year gap was not enough to get rid of CGI. |
 |
| When the optimal tactical play is to send in the harem protagonist "I would like at least three kids. ...That was my best joke." "Yeah, you have talent as a comedian." That dialog, man. Damn |
Reply to SpiderMiles3523
@Icebreaker93 jc staff didn't even animate fight scenes u high. The tohka and origami fight had so many still shots and them dragging the characters across the screen.
| @SpiderMiles3523 I Prefer still shots against puppet show, atleast low budgeted S3 didnt had ugly 3DCGI scenes. |
|
| Holy shit this is turning out to be the best season ever just from the first three episodes! Light novel reader were right I really have to start the novel as soon as possible |
 |
| The 3DCGI fights… it hurts my eyes.. that aside, really good episode story and character wise. The battle is finally underway and there’s no shortage of action in this episode. “But they’re loose girls whose bodies are honest no matter how much they say no” lmaooooo what the fuck Maria cooked Nibeelcole Shido’s development on full display in this one as well. Bro went from struggling to talk to girls in season 1 to just exuding aura and effortlessly snatching hearts lmao. Beating Nibeelcole with kisses and even rizzing up Kurumi mid battle, my goat. “I love you and I know you love me” + the chin grab.. will they just kiss already lol. But Shido saying all that while kissing Nibeelcole made that moment even wilder. Bro is a PLAYER 😂 THAT ENDING TOO WTF. Just as Kurumi and Shido were reaching an agreement and we thought everything was all good, a spirit literally ripping out of her chest?? Need the next episode badly |

Kiss, kiss, kiss and if it's not working, then you simply aren't kissing enough - Itsuka Shidou, 20XX Smooth criminal |
 |
| Shido the kiss monster, killing spirits with kisses and also confessing his love for Kurumi while at it, the entire sequence had me loling. Gonna miss that Kurumi clone. We got some amusing reactions from the real one again. Looks like we are gonna get into backstory next episode? After that cliffhanger too. |

| This is called the progress of the main character. |
| Oh Woodman, we hardly knew ye. The strongest wizard of history vs the strongest wizard of today I am neither upset or pleased with this pacing, but the CGI can be jarring in close ups (background CGI is acceptable). I liked that the S1 "freezing territory" was referred here. Yoshino's DEF is highest among the spirits, but you don't want to get ice breathed on by her either. The cliffhanger was well done, because they kept the prior scene comical and lighthearted. |
| "All truth is meaningless. In the end, 'meaning' comes from the mind of each individual human. Even when there is a single truth, it can mean different things to different individuals. The truth has no meaning in itself!" - Erika Furudo |
| I have to be honest, I gotta stop here. I need to do a full rewatch because it's been so long. One of the reasons I prefer to bing anime that are completed or are close to it because otherwise your memory gets lost in all of the seasonal noise in between. That or I prefer anime with only one/two cour that are completed (like Vivy is only 12 episodes but is complete and beautiful). |
 |
| Damn, Elliot looks really cool. That said... what?! What is going on? When they said they needed Shido to counter the Nibeelcole, I didn't expect him to start kissing them xD... those flying kisses lmao. Literal harem protagonist power. Kurumi getting all flustered when Shido said that they both love each other <3. It was hilarious how Kurumi called him out for saying that while kissing other girls xD. Happiness and funny moments aside, noooooooooooooo...... not that clone :'( Wtf happened at the end O_O Looks like we will finally know more about the origin. I can't wait! |
| B-BRUH STOP MY WAIFU CAN'T DO THE KAKYOIN CHALLENGE AFTER ALL OF THESE RIZZ FVCK U MIO ToT |
| Feel pain, think about pain, accept pain, know pain... Shinra Tensei! |
| Kurumi appearing was smooth, the ending.. not so smooth |
| Damn, Kurumi giving birth in the middle of the battlefield goes wild lol Jokes aside, Shidou is probably one of the most OP characters ever because of all the powers he has, yet he decides to fight throwing kisses, amazing. This episode was good, but why is the CGI so bad? There have been so many peak CGI animes lately, but DAL has to keep using one of the ugliest possible :( |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
