THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Well that was interesting. Poor Tuka though for hearing about what the Dark Elf had say..although it was nice to see her again reunite with Itami.

Interesting to see more background story from 20 years ago this episode too. I don't trust the bunny girl though.

Tuka <3 That almost felt like a date between her and Itami. I think she and Itami has a nice chemistry in particular this episode. Lol, Rory licking Itami is priceless.

Poor Youji, no wonder why he's playing along with Tuka's delusions/coping mechanism instead of trying to get her over the loss of her father.

Rory bit Youji hard and deep, ouch, there's a difference between a love bite and just chomping down on someone. It's kinda cute though.

There seems to be more focus on Teule and less focus on the asshole prince compared to the manga which is great in my opinion.

Tuka seems the have post dramatic syndrome and Itami doesn't know what to do about it, but we are finally going to see some dragon hunting.
There also seems to be major differences compared to the manga but again not in a bad way which is surprising seeing the first season.
I wonder how things will turn out.

So it finally start getting into the "business", into the Anime Title... FIRE DRAGON.
That's a fine question too : "Where do you direct your Anger?", I like it.

Tuka's PTSD is a lot more intense than I thought when she still thought Itami was her dad after she woke up. Pretty sad seeing her like this.

Hyped for some more Rory action though. Can't wait for next week.

This was well done... A lot of people had a lot of issues during this part when Tuka lost her sanity and itami had to act as her father...to compress it into a single episode was done well.

The Pacing in this episode has pretty much confirmed it. Not only we will get to see the Dragon Arc fully animated but we will also go into the upheaval arc as well.

The further strenghtens the possibility of this being fully animated as it would only take another 2 cour to finish the rest of the story. I really hope that is the case as i really for once wish an anime that is based of a LN having more than 1 to 2 cour of content with a fantasy setting fully adapted.

HOHOHO THE Contract was made: a little spoiler:

An entire episode devoted to my least favorite plot point....great. Tuka's arc has definitely been the most disappointing thing in the series so far. Dull, depressing, and never-ending esque, she's been this show's Debbie Downer for sure. Never expected that early on. She even made best-girl Yao lose a few points for being a bitch...only a few though. This being the primary motivation for killing the dragon over just helping Yao blows too. Oh well.

Pina being manipulated could, potentially, become awful too, but that won't be next week so that's on hold for now.

Can't say I was the biggest fan of this one, maybe episode 2 being so excellent hurt this one.
Not too hot on the "manipulate the Empire from the shadows and cause war" plot point, especially not when you reveal it to me right away, could have been ok if we had no idea what was going but like this...
Tuka's arc isn't that good either and while Hitami going alone with the girls makes "sense", I'd rather have some side characters showing up. :|
The girls barely get any screentime lol, this really feels like it's trying to compensate but I honestly couldn't care for that.

Damn. Tuka seriously needs closure on this chapter of her life. Good thing Itami is taking action on the issue. Really solid ep Tuka got that father love. I'm pretty sure she was naked in the scene where she's sleeping with Itami. Nice to see Rory back with that bite.. Can't wait for next week's episode!

Finally more of Tuka this episode. Man, poor girl ):

Great episode, loved the moments between Itami and Tuka, especially that moment when he jumped out of the helicopter. And more Rory is always good <3. Can't wait for next week, looking at that preview. Looks like we also got to see more of Tyuule.

Poor Tuka is too delusional to realize that his father is dead. Her scenes wuth Itami were cute, though. Yao is a bitch, and so is the bunny girl (I like her, however). I hope Piña doesn't get into problems.

And at the end... that contract xD

So, Tyuule wants to make the Empire and SDG get into a real war?

I guess she has a very strong desire to destroy the Empire by manipulating the stupid prince (or the prospective emperor). It seems she's trying to interfere them making a peace pact. She even plans to kill Noriko in the base of SDF to cause the war to escalate.

Seems like Tuka's screws have gotten even more loose. All I heard in this episode is "Oto-san." Well Tyuule turned out to be a scheming bitch; not really surprising. Now Itami's soul is bound to Rory. I wonder how he feels about that. What will Itami do with a five people though? and to think he was orginally planning to go with Tuka only. Im curious how the heck will they defeat this dragon.

What an episode, simply fantastic, we get some great character interactions, and redeem two characters, mainly the noble that lost his arm and leg in the first SDF conflicts, and ofc Yao Ducy (her character is experiencing depth and growth). Now we have 5 man group to "gather resources of precious metals, gems and oils" and naturally have a run-in with that Red Dragon. This totally threw me for a loop, I didn't think they would get to Dragon Quest so quickly, but the pacing of 1st and 2nd episode made it possible. Too bad Tuka is INSANE! Otherwise she could really help them. Instead she might be too focused on "DAD" Itami, on the battlefield. EPIC: Score of 10/10 and 5/5.

Holy shit. that was awful, i mean a pile of shit bad. it was both bad and laughable. i don't understand how it can go from slavery and rape to team work and playing friends with weird people you met a only some time ago. i would have liked it if he and his men went to kill the dragon but, from when he blond elf's father it just became really bad.

(sigh) I can't tell which is more broken. To anyone who has read the manga then you would know. Yao had suffered recently but Tyuule suffered from Zorzal's disgusting abuse for three years, not to mention Zorzal is really the lowest b@stard for obvious reasons, he is never a man of his word.

On the side note, I hated in how they watered down Itami's meeting with Duran; not to mention the king is supposed to have better prosthetics in the manga, though I often wondered if we invented prosthetics like in fullmetal alchemist, that would be good for Duran. (sigh) and Duran was supposed to have a shocked look on his face when Itami mentioned the Flame Dragon.


Oh, to you non-manga readers, in the manga we get to see what lovely underwear Rory was wearing, which Itami saw as he was tripped by the goddess. Anyway, I seriously envy Itami. I would never sell my soul to a stereotypical devil, but to a SUPER HOT SEXY GODDESS I would; in a Christian perspective, that is the same as selling your soul to a devil, but I wouldn't care XD

This episode is all about revenge. Tyuule wants revenge against the Empire for the death of her people. Itami is off on a revenge mission thinking it will save Tuka. Yao wants revenge for the dragon killing her people.

Rory has officially bonded with Itami. She's OK with a revenge mission; that's honorable battle by her standards.

Lelei is willing to go along. She's a combat mage, remember. She's been doing magic weapon R&D, trying to develop enough firepower to take out a hard target.

Pina, who is politically savvy, a realist about war, and not religious (remember her comments on Rory's religion back at Italica), is not into revenge. She's trying to avoid a bloodbath.

You're right, but to get this kind of pacing you have to cut out some scenes that production teams decides on. After this arc we can return to that SoL, Yaoi-BL, steam bath and underwear gatcha scenes, thanks to the pacing! OH GOTTA LOVE IT!

This episode was about as good as i was expecting. Itami's soul belongs to Rory now, not sure how that's going to play out for him, in the after life i mean. She'll probably force him to be her plaything or whatever. Looking forward to the dragon battle, it was pretty sweet in the manga.

I would think she did it out of desperation more than anything. At least i would imagine her desire to save her people is more prevalent in her mind than revenge.

Yao is such a bitch but I understand why she did what she did. It was pretty amusing how Tuka thought Itami was her father.

Well now the fire dragon is gonna finally show up. I was wondering when it would become relevant.

Damn was this episode pretty intense.

Yao definitely dropped a bombshell on Tuka by telling her that her father was dead. The way that she did it though was harsh and OTT, which can do more harm than good for Tuka, who's already suffering from PTSD. Doing it out of desperation is one thing, but going so far just to force Tuka to accept the truth when she's not mentally ready for it just makes Yao look like a bitch and a coward through and through. =/

So I don't blame Itami for playing the role of Tuka's dad. Funny as it was, it at least put her at ease for the time being and hopefully she'll be able to move on at last when they take on and try to defeat the dragon.

Rory's screen time might be limited so far, but she made good use of it by forming a contract with Itami by literally chomping on his arm. Oh Rory, you never fail to amaze me! =P

is just using her own Amused... Traitor Queen

This was one Thing that Made me seriously wanting to wring Yao's Neck...Using Tuka like that. well, she promised to get Green men to help her Clan...by any means Necessary. Tough it looks like Yao is the one that is quite Literally having that Mental Breakdown!

Oh..I know I should not laugh, to Tuka's condition...but how rest of the Refugee Villagers stare is amusing.

"Are you sure need on Only 2?" "Sure"...Umm Hell no? He seriously forgot about Leilei and Rory!
