I almost feel bad for the Queen this episode...they really amplified the emotional content of this episode. Holy shit.

And also, another reminder how dangerous their world is in the wild. That mirror really is a special one of a kind though, for what it can do.

Another great episode !

9 episodes so far, 9 success for me !

In this episode, we see a deep relationship between Dorshe and Queen Hilling, and also, we see a different side of Hilling that I knew she had, but I didn't think she could display : Facing someone as strong as Bosse and be willing to do what's necessary for her son, Daida.

This is, yet again, another 10/10 episode for me, it had everything : Emotion, Fights, New drama..

And we even got Puppet Miranjo & Bosse dancing, what else do you guys need ?

Can't wait for Bojji to be back and fight the King, as it seems that's what Bosse is waiting for to release Daida and then go in Peace.

This weeks episode gave me the hibbie jibbies, Dorshe and Hiling’s flashback was just so wholesome.

Then after that, it was an emotional rollercoaster.

Hiling being frantic about Daida, Daida feeling lost and weak( he seems to be understanding what his older brother felt like, which is interesting), and in the flashback Hiling trying to bond with Bojji was so cute.

We finally get to see Dorshe, and he’s amazing. So, he used to be the Kings spear( now it’s Apeas ), but got promoted to the Queens shield. He’s a man with little words, but a heart of steal. I’m glad we finally got to see the final member of the big four.

The cool thing is we’ve seen the length she will go for her kids already with Bojji. First she was willing to jump off a roof for him, and she almost put Hokuro to death when she thought Bojji was dead. She really loves both of them.

I just realized that Daida is voiced by Kaji Yuuki, his King Bosse voice is his trademark deep voice.

It's not just a "who's a villain" kind of anime, but "is there any villain in the first place?". It's far from the end, but I'd call this "Don't judge a book by its cover" the anime.

I really feel for the queen.

Imagine being in a castle that seems almost completely out against you and the person at the head (Bosse) literally took both of your children away from you without your consent.

I can't wait for Queen Hiling's retribution!

Dorshe the real MVP of this episode. He got the most focus and I like him a lot now. We've seen him standing around Hiling as her bodyguard but we see the full story of how that came to be in this episode. The big scene being when he defended Hiling against those three beast creatures. Using his shields then fists to beat them back. A very well animated and directed scene, it looked so good with the fluidity and camera movement. One of the best looking scenes in the show so far.

The only Bojji we got was from that flashback with him as a baby and Hiling trying to bond with him. Something we saw before a few episodes back now getting more. I'm starting to like Hiling a lot more now the more focus we get with her. Even after that initial backstory episode she got I wasn't completely sold but now I'm liking her character. The flashbacks with little Bojji help her stock a lot. She really did learn sign language just to get closer to him as his new mom. He didn't like her at first but I think seeing her effort and consideration Bojji warmed up. She seems like a decently good person now too.

The end with her screaming for Daida was heartbreaking. Hiling just wants her son back understandable. Its crazy to think that Bosse is doing, I'm glad Hiling called him out on it. Not just as a person but as a father, this whole situation is a dozen different kinds of messed up. I'm glad that Hiling will be leaving the country but maybe she can find Bojji out there. Daida being trapped in that dark void is very depressing. He's really going through it.

Another awesome episode! I'm liking Hiling more and more. She's such an interesting character, feels like a real person. Pure and awkward, but proud and strong. She can come across as snobbish and a jerk, but that's just her blunt way of saying what she's thinking. When it matters, we can count on her. Her love for her children is supreme.

The shield guy is ok, but not anything special about him. The other nuggets in this episode are Daida's realisation about how awful it is to be missing senses, and a little more depth to Bosse's complexity as a character. "He's going with the flow?" Doesn't sound like he's truly on the witch's side, but he somehow cares about her. It's a very gnarly dynamic to unravel.

Looking forward to Bojji's tiny sword. Or whatever his weapon is!

I agree completely. At the beginning I thought she was just going to be the unkind stepmother character, but boy there is so much more to her than that. I hope she can join up with Boiji before the end.

This anime is so good. I have such a hard time reading what Bosse's ultimate end game is.

Finally, a really good episode that I enjoyed consistently from start to finish since like Episode 2 after 6 episodes of okay-decent stuff at best. Not the most emotionally engaging episode I've seen by any means, but still a really good watch nonetheless from start to finish for once, and it was nice seeing Hiling's character shine in this episode overall, in the flashbacks and in current time in a panicked state given the state of her kids currently. Dorshe was really good too and the animation popped off here. This show needed an episode like this since I was not too far from losing interest in it.

YOLO!

Honestly he really just seems to wing it just hoping everything will fall in place (probably hoping for Bojji), not trying to hurt anyone. Even Miranjo came off as an interesting individual today with her being so devoted to Bosse, that dance scene just makes it really obvious that she loves him.

Just an amazing episode, we see once again just how deeply loving Hilling is, far from a heartless queen but a woman willing to do anything for her beloved sons.
Dorsche shows his might, truly being the shield of the queen.
Daida is trapped in a senseless world, robbed of his senses, alone. In this world he slowly starts to understand just how difficult Bojji's life is and how strong Bojji's heart is.

It seems there really might be no "villian" in this anime, Miranjo still feels the most villianous but from how Bosse talks, her fate up till she met Bosse might have been truly tragic, so much so Bosse was decided to thread the needle of everyone's life and try to save Miranjo and everyone else he loves.

Bosse's diamond display of strength was some Baki shit.

Why did Hiling attempt to climb the wall in the first place? 😂 The flashback was so sweet.

And Daida finally about to emphatize with Boji after experiencing helplessness. Learning about despair firsthand should be a character-building lesson.

Another emotional rollercoaster of an episode.

The episode switched from this to that a lot of times. But, holy shit, the amount of emotions I felt while watching this episode was insane. From Queen Hiling to Daida and then Dorshe. Every single one of them is confronted with something. I'm always open for more Hiling flashbacks because it's just beautiful how she turned from such a ''toxic'' queen to a loving and caring mother. Dorshe's development was great though. He kept his promise to the King and even near death, he managed to protect the queen. Daida's suffering like crazy on the other hand. No way out, trapped in an endless void, waiting for someone to rescue him. Hearing his mother's voice might have relieved him a bit from all those anxiety attacks but after it got quiet, he sadly began to wonder if this is how Boji's world feels like. King Bosse is such a mysterious character.. we don't know his real motives yet, what's his planning with doing all this and what more. The one thing I can say with confidence is, he's on the ''good'' side.
Great episode with a lot of sakuga. Dorshe's fight is going to be underrated in this serie.

Great episode! Dorshe is a great bodyguard and I'm happy he protected Queen Hilling and he survived also. The queen also wants Daida back and I'm really wondering why Bosse is doing what he is right now...
I feel sorry for Daida being trapped in there.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Im very curious about Hilling monastic life, which was a surprise to know about it. She as always, awesome in this episode

Dorshe is a incredible knight. And stronger than Apeas.

If that doll is based on Miranjo real appearance, she is cute. And makes me wonder why she didnt became queen. At the time Bosse met Bojji's mother she still had her body, I suppose. And there's that tension in the air.

Im not sure if Bosse want to live or die. "Banishing" many people to join Bojji camp.

Man the character work in this series is top tier....I am such a huge fan of Hilling and Dorshe now after this one

And look at Daida finally understanding what it feels like to live how Bojji was living in the kingdom...Man I hope this kid can get freed one day

However, this episode kinda makes me feel like the king isn't a piece of shit, so I'm curious to see what his end game is with this whole plot Miranjo has going

Erm...King Bosse's spirit in Daida's body kinda gives me the hibbie jibbies, but it's unmistakably Bosse because of his superhuman strength stolen from Bojji.

Queen Hiling may be down with the nightmares, but man, Dorshe IS ONE HELL OF A GUY. Being demoted from being the King of the Spears to Hiling's personal bodyguard from King Bosse personally, and with the added pressure of Hiling to take care of young Bojji, Borshe took it upon himself to learn the ropes because King Bosse and his attendant just couldn't give two effs about his own weak-hearted wife.

But still though, Dorshe IS the Queen's Shield, and coupled with the monster fighting scene with Wit Studio's amaxing animation flex, he held onto his position as the right man for the task against monsters manipulated by Miranjo. Dorshe is Baki Unleashed, and it feels satisfying to see him go full ham.

The emotions wrought between Bosse and Miranjo, it's so strong that I can't help but feel like these two can take over the kingdom at any moment, their world is within the grasp of their hands being sucked into the Underworld.

This episode really exposes more of Hiling, that she's not the same heartless woman we know early on in ths show, and that she really loves the children she bore a lot, towards both Daida and Bojji. It's just sad that Bosse, because of Miranjo, only goes with the flow, and gives clemency to both Dorshe and Hiling to get out before death rings at their door.

Daida is starting to put himself in Bojji's shoes, that's character development.

Every episode only keeps getting better, and wrangle those emtions greatly.
Episode director Arifumi Imai ALWAYS never misses.

So, let's go for the predictions :

- Bosse made a vow to Miranjo that, in exchange for the access to the Demon's powers, he would get rid of Hilling and make her Queen someday.

- In order to avoid anything Miranjo could attempt in order to get rid of Hilling, he posted Dorshe as her Bodyguard : The most powerful of his minions.

- A few years later, Bosse dies, Miranjo tries to ressurect him so he can fulfil his vow and make her Queen. Afraid of what Miranjo would do if he just confronted her, he played along with her plan.

- When Dorshe beat the 3 Dogs of Hell (forgot their name), Bosse knew Miranjo would try to do something in the instant, so he asked her to Dance, knowing that possessing that Doll would dry her out of her magic.

- Miranjo then goes into the Gate of the Underworld and my guess is that Domas will arrive and try to close it so that she's stuck there for a while.

- Finally, in case Miranjo comes back and Domas fails, he sent Hilling away.

---------

That's my predictions, and the best for last :

- I think he's keeping Daida's body because he wants to see how far Bojji went with his training (probably in EP 11 or 12 will they fight), and will then release Daida's body. He doesn't want to stay alive like this, possessing Daida.. he's just trying to protect his sons & Kingdom.

So Bosse is simply "going with the flow" and hence why he seems so calm and without worry. I suppose something big (no one else but Bosse and Miranjo know about) is going to happen in the future.

What a great use of a flashback, and a seamless transition back to the present. Beautiful!

King Bosse in Daida's body is not exactly King Bosse... or is he?? If he truly IS King Bosse, they better have a damn good explanation as to why he wants to kill his own wife. We are still scratching the surface to the story, but I hope the intentions of "King Bosse", if he really is King Bosse, are at least distantly reasonable.

Ngl I'm making myself suffer by watching this weekly. I'm seriously considering waiting until it finishes airing and then binging the rest. But then each week the next episode is ready to be watched and I just CLICK on it.... sigh

The last couple of episodes have been quite decent. This one is the best so far, purely due to how exceptionally well directed animation-wise it was. It really looked lively especially during the fight sequences. That being said, the story is still just okayish at best for me. At least when the show isn’t so focused on being sappy with emotional manipulation and silly with plot contrivances, I’m more interested. Hopefully it continues to improve; I wasn’t really digging the source material at all from the manga, so it helps to see the anime elevate things to take advantage of the medium it’s in.

An emotionally charged episode for Hiling. We got to see a whole spectrum of emotions from seething anger to joy and great anxiety. The bit at the end when was she screaming for Daida's spiritual release was particularly poignant. Her shield, Dorshe is bad ass and the fight with the dogs from hell from was pretty epic.

What puzzles me though is the motives of Bosse whose hearts seem to lie in multiple directions. Who does he ultimately side with Miranjo or Hiling? He seems to be playing them against each other and is not making a firm commitment. What does he hope to achieve? I think the clearest thing I can guess is he wants Bojji to be made king but beyond that his mind is like a black box.

No Bojji and Kage screentime this ep. I am amazed by how the fighting scene went as Queen Hiling was protected by her bodyguard. Glad they both survived but they are gonna leave the place. Interesting development. Does King Bosse like this girl in the mirror.

I'd say it's a magical automaton that looks like her old self.
That said, unless I misread a past foreshadowing, her real body should be still preserved in that icy room connected to the underworld so maybe we'll see what her real body (that could be very well be a corpse) really looks like sooner or later.

The mirror really got what it wanted and managed to manipulate Daida all along.
