| WHAT THE HELL WITH '' Stay Indecisive '' Damn , I wanted a good romance/action , but another harem comedy ? Such a waste , after I really loved the gods stories :( |
| And that's the end of Athena. At least for now... |
 |
Really enjoyed the fighting scenes.. although it is not that epic but it is entertaining... loving this anime now.. |

Kurogashi said: Are all these mythologies in this anime correct? Or is it altered/made up? Some made up some are truth. She was truly the goddess controlling the Gorgons(snakes) and that made Meduca. She's a goddess of wisdom and war but not like Aris. Unlike Aris who was only about combat, about creating conflict and winning by aggressiveness she was about wise war and strategy and she even prefer using politics to avoid conflicts. All the stuff about her being the ruler of all and getting defeated by Zeus where anime bullshit though. Athena never was the ruler of all Gods. She never fought Zeus for the throne. She came out of Zeu's head after he swallowed her mother to avoid her birth but later become probably his most favorite daughter despite the fear he had of her. |

| This was an alright episode. It was better then the last three, that's for sure. It would've been a lot better if Kusanagi had actually killed Athena. But hey, she's a loli now, they may need her later in the harem show! |
 |
| This episode somehow reminded me of Unlimited Blade Works. The people here who watched UTW will understand what I mean. |

| Really liked the battle in this one. Godou really stuck it to her. And man, Erika is fantastic. A perfect #1. Fine as hell. |
Todd_Jensen said: I'd rather have Athena as a #1. Not only is she more powerful, she would have knowledge on every other god, including knowledge that humans would never even considered possible... :OAnd man, Erika is fantastic. A perfect #1. Fine as hell. |

| The episode was quite nice. I, for one, actually like the explanations about the ancient gods and the facts concerning all the Greek mythology & whatnot. But man, how grateful am I for Godou to actually USE his Golden Sword efficiently. Also, he is one of the few characters that I've seen to actually use the typical thousand-flying-blades attack correctly. I would have cried if he left them there for the sole purpose of 'decorating' the battlefield like Byakuya's 'Senkei' form of Senbonzakura Kageyoshi from Bleach. I mean, seriously, you have a thousand flying blades around you and you don't use them? Lol? Waiting eagerly for the next episode~ |
 |
| The battle seemed like a card game.nice episode! |
 |
| Ahh , Athena is so cute at first but when she change , she become a Goddess of beauty xD and I just love the way Goudo and Erica kiss. So sweet xDD |
 |
bmadfsh said: I liked the episode, but the kissing is getting over the top for me..don't want to see toungue. But I guess that's what I get for not liking too much ecchi and watching ecchi... Still annoyed by how Erica suddenly goes from tsundere to the way she is now with 0 development in between. Also annoyed by how well Godou can fight (even if he's a champione, you'd think he'd need to get used to his powers first). ANOTHER thing annoying to me is having kissing as the way to transfer knowledge and information; it's just for more ecchi. I believe people say it was the time skip in between that made her turn that way and made Godou a better fighter? Either way, haven't read the LN so yes it's also bullshit to me. |
| Glad I'm not the only one who saw that Unlimited Blade Works. And about the Lance, just think about it like Archer does in F/SN. He doesn't use the actual weapon. He just traces a copy. |
| Loli censored by smoke :[. Great episode, wish I could see a bit more action instead of the spouting words and then swords going 1 by 1. |
 |
| the infinity sword is just like reality marble in fate stay night... |

Kurogashi said: Are all these mythologies in this anime correct? Or is it altered/made up? They're actually quite accurate after a fashion. It is true that many "gods and goddesses" myths were rewritten throughout the ages and incorporated or dispensed with depending on the culture. New culture is created which means others are destroyed. There were some historic cultures which venerated "The Goddess" above all other incarnations but eventually, most human cultures became male-dominated and it only stands to reason that myths would crop up and supercede female-dominated myths as a consequence. The idea that the power of an icon, an ideal, can be strengthened or weakened with blasphemy (Words of Power) is a very real phenomena in society. Watching the hero recite these Words of Power to weaken Athena's Divine Power was not just a lot of fun, it's a plot-device with a real-world lesson to consider. |
| Great episode, this was much better than the previous 3 episodes. I'm looking forward to some more gods and action, but I really want to see character development. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| good episode and timing. Made me second guess about thinking of dropping this. hopefully the ones that follow this don't disappoint ^.~ |
| Ok, I haven't finished the episode yet, but is this Athena? Where's her helm, spear and shield, and why is she using a bow? And is that blue stuff on her head supposed to be olive leaves?! Not only they got her aspect completely wrong, they didn't research her symbols at all. |

| The golden space created by Godou's Divine Right reminds me of a cross between Gate of Babylon and Unlimited Blade Works from the Fate franchise... anyway, it's a visually striking attack. I don't know whether to call the french kissing as a means to transfer knowledge a unique, unusual concept or a pretextual gimmick to allow for some fanservice. Anyway, that was a display of excellent teamwork between Godou and Erica against Athena. I'm starting to get curious about Liliana, she and Erica seemed to know each other and it seemed that she's also a fellow knight but probably working under a different authority. |
Monad said: Maybe just me, but when Godou said the male gods under Zeus revolted against her, I’m interpreting it more as Zeus’ religion (stuffs we know as Greek mythology) is the one who defeated Athena (religion) and downplayed her.All the stuff about her being the ruler of all and getting defeated by Zeus where anime bullshit though. Athena never was the ruler of all Gods. She never fought Zeus for the throne. She came out of Zeu's head after he swallowed her mother to avoid her birth but later become probably his most favorite daughter despite the fear he had of her. One of the similar thing I remember is the Enuma Elish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enuma_Elish) This epic is one of the most important sources for understanding the Babylonian worldview, centered on the supremacy of Marduk and the creation of humankind for the service of the gods. Its primary original purpose, however, is not an exposition of theology or theogony but the elevation of Marduk, the chief god of Babylon, above other Mesopotamian gods. Human shaped the godsNot so sure about how Godou called her winged serpent though. The only winged serpent god of wisdom I know is in America, not Europe But North Africa myths are not so popular in modern times |
| Cant stop thinking about Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon every time Godou using his power. Though the conclusion to the battle was pretty awesome, not gunna lie. |
 |
| This was a beast episode. I liked the battle. So his name is now engraved in Athena's part. I wonder if she will meddle with the love love |
| Another epic episode with an amazing battle! He does seem to be gentle even for his enemies! Either way love it so far lets see what's next! |
 |
| Athena have got to be part of Godou's harem. Also great episode. Erica best girl. |
| A demon who cannot be controlled by anyone? Looks to me like he is very easily controlled by the women around him. |
| I like Hentai, you like real life. Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me. |
| Well I wanted to give this a 5/5 but it was lacking for me so i gave it a 4/5 which still isnt that bad. |
 |
| So Godou has a Reality Marble now? |
| i do like how Erica has powered up from kiss on the cheek, kiss on the mouth and screw it... now there's gotta be tongue involved for it to work better. Godou you lucky sob... and he doesn't even think himself lucky. The mythologies is interesting even if like almost every religion and history it's all dependant on how you see it, rather than what it really is/was... |
| And the harem expands!!!!! |
   |
| Great episode and some more boldness from Erica, Godou still quite unsure ^^. So nice fight against Athena, that gold sword is so cool and Athena is back to her loli form and her leife his spared cool guess it ain't over with her. Surely people will notice that giant hole xD. |
 |
| UNLIMITED (golden) BLADE WORKS! Godou continues to be the worst part of this show. He's such a goddamn wet end. I never thought I'd find a main character who objects this strongly to kissing a beautiful girl. Grow a pair of balls, you worthless twit. Then use them on Erica. Hell, she even seems willing to share, as long as she stays #1. Seriously, what more could you ask for? |
| Well that was a big improvement after the last episode being boring as fuck, Hope this continues as this episode was genuinely good with some nice action. |
| Seems like the priestess became the cockblocking girl now... in a show with almost no fanservice already this seems kinda unnecessary -_- |
| "in a show with almost no fanservice" wut Interesting battle. Thought it was going to end sooner that it originally was. |
 |
| Fairly good episode, of course he couldn't kill a loli |
 |
| I'm glad Godou spared Athena because I like her character for some reason(not cause she's a Loli). |
| Hm, decent fight, the first half of it was kind of boring but the ending when Erica appeared was awesome :3 Of course he couldn't kill Athena lol. Now even though I took a mythology course we didn't go THAT in depth about Athena, but I'm assuming they did their research and didn't make up all that backstory. I guess even if they did it's interesting enough :P So Mariya joins the harem, and Erica seems to be OK with her being #2 as long as she's #1 XD Surprised this arc was over so quickly, but maybe there's something we're missing here (as they suggested in the episode). Either way Liliana's probably going to be the next focus/addition, then we have another sword-wielding girl, going by the ED at least :P |
| Combining unlimited blade works with gate of babylon, the author must've really liked fate stay night. |
