| I was fully expecting this to be a classic case of random side character has to hold off the big bad villain until the very end of the episode for the protagonist to finally arrive and join the fight. Certainly wasn't expecting Alicia and gang to simply fly over ๐ Glad we already got to see her and Drel clash during this episode ๐ |
 |
| Yet another banger episode, as if our party dynamic wasn’t crazy enough, now we’re presumably adding Naie to the mix and she’s fitting in so well already! Knew I was gonna love her. The Princess is alive?? who tf is behind Drel?? Luna’s mom still being alive is very interesting and now I NEED to see her interact with Klen and Nelluru. I don’t think she’ll look down on Nelluru at all since she’s been nursing and essentially raising her son. She seems like a decent person who wants to protect her people. “Blood that moves on its own is disgusting” mind you your boss literally controls insects but ok lol. Who tf is behind Drel? If it’s actually one of the dark beasts that’ll be some great irony since they’ve looked down on humans and they’ll end up engaging in the same sort of backstabbing and land grab maneuvering that humans get into. But if it is a dark beast lord, what made them start acting now ๐ค Alicia is legit one of my fave characters ever now. She’s so badass and well written, not to mention she has that masculine coded aesthetic that I love in women. Love seeing her get shine in any episode and I’m really happy she’s found her purpose again in life. Seeing the villagers supporting and praising her as a hero really warmed my heart. Can’t wait for the action next week, hopefully the animation is better than what we got today when Drel took out those soldiers lmao |

| Exposition focus episode before the main fight. The crown princess has no royal blood and she fears "the naming ritual" Alicia's father was the Sword saint and Dorel was a former hero, it's safe to assume his situation is quite similar to Alicia's. Event wise, Clen finally reveals Neruru's new body ability to her, the strength of a troll, the strength to launch a piece of stonewall flying like being fired from a catapult with just one simple push, terrifying. I sympathize a bit with Naie, caught in a situation where she has no idea what is going on, ignored(deliberately) and forced to obey without question. a clever wizard who just following orders fell to Alicia's smarter ploy and now might have to serve Clen as a loyal blood bound servant.  A flying cart as a mode of transportation?! Can't say I have seen any weirder situation involving a cart. |

| So flying Uber does exists in this world, interesting. |

A flying cart as a mode of transportation?! Can't say I have seen any weirder situation involving a cart.| @Mainnus Didn't Frieren do a flying cart too? Or maybe it was a crashing cart dropped by a flying creature and somewhat cushioned by magic? Yeah, probably that. |
| It was nice of Naie to give everyone a ride straight to the capital. It wasn't what she intended, but safe to say she didn't come empty handed! Also it just wasn't Favio's day with him getting hit by that stray piece of stone Nelluru launched, and then sunk into Klen's shadow. I should have known he didn't just save that move for bandits. Princess T'ala may not share in the late king's royal blood, but she's got courage for trying to face Drel head on and smash his regalia! Is Drel even Drel? Are they a puppet or another Dark Beast in disguise? I can't wait for the mystery behind his dark ichor to be revealed. |
 |
| The princess is pretty brave tbh even though she couldn't have won. The next episode should be pretty action-packed with Drel and Alicia. I love Klen's attitude and how he responds to things. "I think I heard a scream." "It was your imagination." It was also funny that Magneto-girl got ignored while Klen and Alicia were talking in the beginning |
 |
| Alicia didn't knock. She just went ballistic!! Nelluru is the impressive part of this episode. Now we know why she's strong, though it's somewhat obvious, given who brought her back to life. Now, please ignore the screaming in the background. I wonder if that princess's hammer hit any of the blades from Drel or Alicia. And the demon assistant. That girl doesn't know what in the actual F is happening. That was funny. |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| "Where's Drell?" *BOOM* Okay, there. "Master I Think I just heard someone scream." "You're imagining it." |
| Lord Cruelty V "But my Dreams they're not as empty, as my conscience seems to be" |
| A series is legit when the build up and transition parts pull you in as well. I actually liked this episode even more than the last one. And looks like the got confirmation that Clevatess used the troll parts to restore Nell's body. |

| Alicia was so proud and happy now that her dignity as a heroine has been restored—even the townspeople thanked her. And then Clevatess went and deflated his servant’s ego for being excited about doing something “kind of heroic.” Poor Naie was completely ignored—just a total random in Clevatess’s eyes, lol. And to top it off, she thought she could escape, but ended up becoming the group’s transportation instead ๐ Alicia’s entrance was incredible. The destined duel against Drel is coming—and it’s going to be epic. |

| Great ep The princess definitely got a mother’s intuition. Nah, the glaze is crazy work. They really hypocrites at heart. Like stand on bizness with ur bs, why are u ducking? Pink head thought she was getting away, love the groups silly shenanigans ๐คฃ Drel cooking them with ease. The princess kinda dumb lol. Damn Nelluru, u almost killed someone simply off ur strength. Let’s hope Alicia vs Drel is a great fight. 9.5/10 |
 "Hard work is worthless for those that don’t believe in themselves" - Naruto Uzumaki |
| The Queen is quite the badass and I like Naie, kinda wish she would join the team, I was worried that Clevatess was going to say something like "I had to leave my main body behind so now I'm nerfed and useless" but thankfully that doesn't seem to be the case, sure a part of him is trapped but it is apparently just a copy. |
| They should bait Naie all the way into joining their team for the transportation utility alone tbh. Her being funny is a bonus. I feel for Favio but between the panicking from Nell's "catapult attack" and getting helplessly sucked into the basement of shadows alongside his squad, dude's unintentionally hilarious. Hope dude's safe down there. |
| Great episode, that was a lot of progress just for a battle setup. |
| i enjoyed the episode can't wait to see the next one... |

Better than last week, still bad though. Doesn't exactly show the fights again and hides it with explosions and camera panning; also tries to hide still frames that appeared for 1/4 of the episode using camera panning or animating only a single object besides a mouth. Doesn't have 20 mins of shaky cam like last episode did with terrible directing, and the story progressed much faster, however, it's getting harder for people to defend this as a "dark fantasy" after this episode which I appreciate since it shows the truth of what the show is. Everyone said oh eps 2-4 storyline was the way it was because it's dark fantasy and it's meant to show the worst of humanity, because ep1 set that up, when it was really an SA fetish tbh for that arc people excused away; then eps 5-9 have just been normal fantasy completely with absolutely nothing outside of standards technically even on the lighter side too; making it generic story wise, bad directing wise, terrible character wise, and hateable as all hell. I hope people stop defending this show eventually as it's shown its true colors since ep 3 onwards, being a generic fantasy show with some of its eps showing the author's SA fetishes, despite how ep 1 was good๐
| @Anon7524 I like how most of this post is just crying people have different opinions than you do |

| @JayDaAnimeLord I don't think the princess was being dumb, she probably had no idea how OP Drel is. Like why would she think he is getting powers from a dark beast vs just one of the swords they made, and some magic. Like Naie is a high wizard and is no where as powerful as Drel. Maynard was the most powerful wizard and that's probably just because he could summon/control such a large number of insects. |
| AH. What an insane show this show is aye? This episode has me think of how increadble the next weeks lead up is going to be. I have been guessing where the plot was going to lead but this episodes plot point took a good look at what I guessed and THROW IT BACK IN MY FACE and said "KEEP IT" cuz the fact that they`re already going back to Drel to fight him a 2nd time-this time with the hero is KINDA CRAZYY!! and it was not in the bingo book, either with their handling of the metal bending girl being used as a literal VEHICLE of mobility. One way to keep the cast of characters interesting without making them out to be a gimmick. This show feels like fresh water that I found after a long 10 year walk of dry shonen plots mimicking each other and honestly the isekai genre ruined fantasy for me. But this, THIS IS GREAT! well I hope to more of this show. Honestly, I am a little disappointed at the random quality drops in animation but nothing beats the amount of OOMF the story is delivering on a weekly basis. Plus the world building that they are doing in the main screen has been entertaining. Drel moving through this kingdom like a hot knife through a butter, has been the only, "this is whats happening in the background" event so far. Aside from them (the *people being attacked* kingdom`s princess) building a defense aganist Drel. This week had me at the edge of my seat and made me go.. "OH THATS IT" by the end. Jolly great episode everyone Rating time, Plot: 10/10 building suspense, and then delivering on said suspension only to layer it with MORE SUSPENSE?? honestly I love it. (I am talking about how they handled the metal bender scene, and then in the same breath said "we`re fighting Drel" LIKE WHAT) Theme: 10/10 its building up? honestly it suspenseful and thats the only thing I got from this episode Characters: 10/10 Hero being a hero, Drel being a beast, Clevatess being a menous and all of that adding to the world building it NICE. Ost: 6/10 Did not feel it, also they skipped the opening with how much content was going to be dropped on our heads this week. SO I am a little salty. But the background music was good. sFx was sub par? Idk how to feel rating that. the only thing that stuck out was the sword noises. OverAll: 10/10 Loved it, GIMME MORE. Need 24 more episodes. Anyway, Thats all me wrote for this suspenseful week. Hope you ladies are staying safe. BYEEE |
TOP FIVE THIS SEASON
|
| Man, this episode flew by and just as Klen and company were at the forge's entrance too. Plus the fight between Drel and Alicia was kicking off, and Luna's mom was so close to her baby, too bad she couldn't sense him. Speaking of Luna's mom, hopefully she got a strike on Drel's weapon to weaken it. Anyways I'm looking forward to the next episode. ๐ |
| How they tricked Naie into doing exactly what they wanted was pretty amusing. I kind of hope she gets added to the party as I like the reluctant ally/companion trope. |
| So Naie is actually joining them? That's surprising. It turns out that Nelluru actually has some insane strength because of her revival, she pushed and launched the big rock as if it was nothing. Also Luna's mother is actually alive wow, this is going to create even more drama soon |
 |
| This is too easy.....way too easy. Also the Princess is an egotistical moron like the King was. |
 |
| Damn having the lords involved makes this much worse |
Reply to Shadowx99
Guys iam kinda confused about something..how is the queen alive?..if this is the queen..then who is the girl that died while entrusting Luna to cleavetess...also why does the queen refer to her child as "son"..how the hell does she not know her child's gender?
| @Shadowx99 I think it's pretty common for nobility to have other people tend to child care. |
| Poor metal-controlling mage :( |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| the camera is making me dizzy holy shit |
| I'm a little worried about this show, that last episode felt very rushed plot wise and some writing decisions were questionable. Also the animation dropped of pretty hard, the the point it was kinda annoying. I hope we are not approaching a trainwreck, I really loved this show and had high hopes for it. |
