----------------------------------------
Time to venture into the Chinese Peninsula! Company 2's newbie soldier Takeru/Juggernaut definitely got the sweetest deal as his mom fetches him home, but not without some trouble. Sure, family troubles come first, but solving the Great Cataclysm is ultimate priority.

Shinra and the others truly enjoying their journey playing with fire, but control is needed, and onto the way to search for the Preacher.

AND FINALLY, the moment we've been waiting for: the weird creatures in the new land that are quite informant on Adolla Bursts, starting with a potato-stealing mole named Schop with a destination: Oasis, and the worm land that they need to navigate through like the toughest terrains. Nice tag team there, Shinra and Ogun!

"The New Qingdao soldiers" as the weird creatures of the land refer them to, the land has more surprises in store, going through pre and post-Great Cataclysm times. Infernals are the stars of the land, huh.

Turns out that Oasis is...Amaterasu...? The SAME Amaterasu created by Vulcan's ancestors, what a mystery surrounding more of the history of Adolla Bursts. And trying to negotiate with Infernal animals is less ideal, but steering clear of it isn't a one-hit wonder.

Shinra's Adolla Link triggered to protect the forest...what's the true objective of the Tabernacle?

What is going on with this strange land, its awakening mysteries and unkempt secrets are awaiting to be revealed. To protect the God of the Oasis from further catastrophe, it takes more than just one person to venture alone in this travesty.

New arc starting off smoothly, Latom.

I’m so glad we finally get to see my boy Ogun animated. Love seeing badass black characters in anime. Have waited a while to see the Chinese peninsula adapted and so far not disappointed. Another great job by David production.

Also, juggernaut’s mom is adorable.

There's something fishy going on here on the Chinese peninsula. Talking crows and talking moles, that'd be pretty freaky to see. even in a world as wacky as Fire , talking animals is enough to make your eyes go as wide as saucers. Laughed so so much at the beginning of their journey when the gases made Shinra, Juggernaut, Ogun and Tamaki high as kite. They were all being so goofy I loved it. Licht tried to tell them but obviously the kiddos didn't listen to their side uncle. Laughed it up that whole time. before that too with Jugg family speaking all country, the subtitles were so weird. As a southerner myself it was kinda exaggerated, it's anime so of course, but still not too far off. His mom was sweetie as least, she just wants him to bring home a nice city bride.

That giant worm was fucking huge!! I'd have been freaked out too. Good job by Shinra and Ogun to distract it. Them tagging in and out was cool. Finally got to see some of Ogun fire abilities in the anime. We've got some interesting mysteries going on with this Tabernacle place. How'd it get there, why does it look just like Amaterasu, which once came first, why's all this plant life surrounding it. Many questions popping up in China. Crazy to see all those infernals there, some who've been for hundreds of years. Made Shinra realize how many are out there in the world still suffering, have to help lay them to rest. Scop and Yata are cool animal dudes, hope that the fire soldiers can help them.

Tamaki was able to say her prayers without the lucky lecher lure moment XD.
Everyone getting high on the gas was funny.

So there was an Amaterasu like thing in this peninsula.

the change of scenery does make for a different feel to the series. The world seems more...magical for the lack of the better word?

So.. we finally are in the Chinise Peninsule and it seems to be a really interesting arc.

Lots of secrets await for our guys, with the amaterasu thing in first place...
also the strange creatures of this land could have the key to find the answers.. Really good design (completely different to previous episodes

Really interesting episode this time!!

XD it was hilarious to watch all of them going nuts and hell yeah the talking mole is finally here im the anime. I like his voice, it's hilarious enough and suits him.

Woah they found Amaterasu or something alike in the middle of nowhere. Also Shinra had an adolla link with someone her in the forest too, the mystery intensifies.

Anyway ya all get ready to know the secret of Amaterasu, you'll be shocked for sure.

So many new information in this episode, but first...

It doesn't look anything like China to me, but to be fair, Tokyo Empire doesn't look anything like the real Tokyo either. And Juggernaut mom which is supposed to have Chinese dialect use Kansai dialect?

Now we've infernal dog and hound dog, internal dog is the dog that turn into fire monster, and hound dog is the creature from hell, look like this time it's just infernal dog because Maki pray Latome to them (does priest pray to demon?)

Amaterasu/Tabernacle look kinda like nuclear power plant... could the great disaster is all nuclear power plant in the world go bust at the same time??? And animal around oasis have been exposed to radiation for a long time so they can talk!!!

Finally we're getting to see more of the world and a bit of mystery. Nothing outstanding so far, but this was an episode to my liking. And the Adolla Link at the end with the voice, was probably the blonde girl( sister look-alike) again. The black flames also suggest that she could be Amaterasu.

This is definitely a standout ep of the season! Looks like Amaterasu really might be the cause of the Great Cataclysm but seems there's more to it than anyone in the Tokyo Empire knows even though they're using as a source of energy!

That scene where they high on the gas was hilarious but what was most funny is that Arthur didn't change at all haha

Tamaki was cool this ep too. I don't usually like her but she was fleshed out by this ep since she wasn't just 'accidentally' nude the whole time!

Arthur, Shinra and Ogun were snackin on that tasty Peninsula soil. The gang(except Licht) got high on some Chinese Peninsula gass. They found some infernals that have been wandering around for some time. Tamaki finally kept her clothes on. They got attacked by some hell dogs and a big worm. They found an oasis with a smaller version of Amaterasu with the help of a talking thief mole and a edgy crow. I really hope we get to see more of Ogun because his power and skateboard are frickin sick.

lmao the first half was good, what ever was in the air definitely seems to have some serious knock on effects, but honestly won't lie, it reminded me of some freak school trip with a bunch of kids with fucking psychic fire abilities and Viktor having to play the teacher by being the only sane one, trying to make sure the kids don't under up igniting one another.

Honestly this episode did feel very fever dream-ish, the talking animals had me pretty shocked i won't lie, but i wouldn't be surprised if it was because of some radiation leak in certain areas that was also spread by the cataclysm years ago, which is so i really hope it wasn't in the gas, cus the gang breathed so much in i'm sure a third arm is bond to pop out soon.

The change of scenery was also interesting, went from the very dark orange desert landscape, to a literal sea of internals that have been wondering around for hundreds of years, definitely was a spooky site but thinking about how bad the numbers must be in more populated parts of the world like the U.S or Europe is definitely something else. The change from the desert to sudden more green forest scenery was nice, the appearance of another Amaterasu definitely thickens the plot even more with why something like it exists here and who could of made this one.

I enjoyed that episode it was honestly a pretty funny episode. Takeru speaking genuinely in his own dialect with his parent's was nice it made me like him more. And them fucking tripping on gas was hilarious, Tamaki was also adorable and cool and not naked this episode which is nice that lucky lecher gag should only be used in moderation.

What the hell was that talking to Shinra though, based on the preview it's the cloaked woman but, who that?

Praise the Lord! Tamaki didn't lose her clothes and managed to complete her pray. She was also rather adorable while eating that marshmallow, by the way.

Okay so leaving the usual awkward comedy aside, I found this episode rather interesting in terms of world-building and stuff. Curious to know the story behind this new Amaterasu/Tabernacle edification and it seems Shinra will go through another Adolla Link hallucination next week. Time for a new Hashira to show up?

Overall, promising start for this new arc so far.

The journey to the West of China. Its feels pretty interesting, not only about their mainland that looks very barren. But, it hide more mysterious thing than i've imagined before. Yes, the storyline got wild so fast into something ridiculous. The mutated worm, that got so huge. The usual animal that could speak. A flame dogs. Tiny Amaterasu. So everything just got contaminated by the Adolla Burst on that area. Shinra's even got linked via Adolla Link.

Sounds good. It seems pretty logic, like a radiation from the nuclear site that got leaked, or like a nuclear bomb and its effect. The effect of it, showed pretty clear in the eyes of talking mole. Was you all thought the idea felt pretty good and unique? So far, for me, the idea felt pretty genuinely nice and connected much with the basic of flames calamity. Like it or not, i may take the explanations as an okay attempt, at least for now!

Out of topic first, as they just visited China, another country far away from the Empire, they decided to use a different dialect. Idk if that was really necessary. Since the language really not served as my most attention. However, i found Noto's parents dialect sounds pretty amusing, and i could get used of it! Even teams reaction when arrived in the first time looked so hilarious. This is Shinra's and his friends. Ofc that shit may happen to satisfied myself with their banter, before serious matter reached them soon. Unfortunately, Tamaki somehow, done a less 'usual funny' moment. Oh, well, thank you very much!

Since everything just got revealed, the origin of Adolla Burst, slowly but sure, gonna be reached. Maybe they would meet another pillar. Idk with the plot so far. But, depending on the opening, and the ending theme of song, the chance really open for that situations. So, first of all, lets just continued this Oasis arc first to letting Shinra's together with his friend to clear that area, and found more information about Adolla Burst!

The joy of reaching a new continent huh amusing. The gas sure served to give some interesting reactions to the team with Tamaki's being the cutest. Avalon sure has some unique fauna in the form of the mole men and crows that can talk. Still nice to finally see Ogun's ability. The amount of inferno's that Shinra and Ogun saw sure was large. Without any one destroying them there must thousands on the continent. To think that they will find a mini Amaterasu in Avalon though. Overall an excellent ep that managed to give a strong start to this new arc. Quite curious to see what this new arc will bring to the lore as well as seeing how Shinra and team will handle things outside of the empire.

Really liking the China arc so far. The big mystery is the Tabernacle structure there and it’s connection to Amaterasu and the Empire. There is definitely more than meets the eye. And damn all those Infernals, to think they were people at the pinnacle of Human civilization 200 years ago.

Finally a good episode!
It's funny how the sillest episodes in Enen no Shouboutai are the best ones. And that's totally makes sense, since the director and the narrative are so blend, that when they try to do to much gets boring and confusing. But when all you have to do is a fire fight in the desert, with some cool looking monsters, who cares?
No drama wanna be, no fake deep conversations, just action and funny moments with some interesting new characters and enemies.

Hope they keep up with this mentality

I just want to ask everyone. Have I missed some piece of lore somewhere?
Do the priestess actually do anything other than saying some random words or the infernals will not die if the prayer is not spoken in the vicinity?
Sometimes it seems like they are only doing it for some formality. And sometimes they are only there to have some continuous source of Ecchi moments.
Are they useless lore wise or have I missed something.

Yep, pretty useless and does not make any sense at all.
Why do they have to "prey" as the battle is going on? Why they just don't wait the battle to end? WOuld be way safer, and no one would have to waist time and energy trying to protect their neck.

Finally arrived to the Chinese peninsula arc huh. I can't wait for more episode for this arc, it seems very interesting given the new ambience,characters (or I would say animals) and a bigger land that can lead us to new contents and perspective (like the new kinds of Infernal)

Everyone were hilarious during the trip ,thembeing high and doing their own shit. Especially Tamaki being cheeky and crazy, having a conversation with her family.

And lastly for Ogun he finally got animated and he looked badass there.
