| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yoo Mira's "engagement"...well that was sudden, and given the context of this episode titled "marriage/bonds". Getting courted by the CEO of a well-to-do coporation from her dojo days, this goes in 2 ways: accept the marriage, and drop out from the competition. Given Yoo Mira's family's sparse condition, supporting her younger sister all by herself, with a deceased and respected grandfather, and her father being coerced into a forced marriage to offset a mountain of debts in trade for the family dojo and its well-treasured sword secrets (which in itself a a BIG household name), it doesn't look pretty. Of course, given the reckless Jin and calm Daewi to not let Mira off easily, this really tests their friendship to another level. Well, the hidden cult shows itself again, and the CEO is part of that puzzle to break the bonds from Mira. Fortnuately, with Jin and Daewi to the rescue to save her from this farce and continue on in the God of Highschool tournament, the valiant effort shows through her spirit to do what she does best. A different mystic spirit this time...but the patterns show obviously. as expected, Yoo Mira aces it perfectly to rid of the cultist. Daewi's cancer-struck friend...is getting a lot worse, and the same people in the cybercafe have come to strike him once again...but this time, with no mercy. With Yoo Mira's loss against the personality-changed affirming Daewi, things aren't looking good, it felt like a fight that was too brutal to watch (even for 5 seconds). It was totally one-sided towards Daewi, which even left Jin mouth-opening shocked. What truly is going on??? A lot of mixed feelings this episode, but the cliffhanger was a BIG OOF I've gotta say. |

| While this was a fine episode, it just felt so randomly shoe-horned in that it felt like a filler episode. It would have been fine if it was later in the series and we already had plenty of time to know the characters, but now it just felt rushed. Another guy was shown to have a Stand/Nen type power. Wonder if we will ever see him again. Who knows how useful the sword is if it isn't in the hands of Mira. There was good development for the main trio this week and it looks like that will continue next episode. The way Han took down Mira was too harsh, even though he had a reason to want to win. |
 |
| Mira in a wedding dress is so beautiful omg. The dude being evil was obvious from a mile away, but this gave Mira some nice backstory and development. I wonder how relevant that cult will be going forward Big tonal shift at the end there. Looks like next episode will be focused on Han Dae wi and his goals, literally pulled no punches against Mira Still can’t get over how much of a bop the ED is, genuine summer banger |
 |
| Glad to see Mira's past even if only a little. I'm glad to see Mori and Daewi ruined Mira's marriage, because I disagree with the marriage of Mira and the purple-haired guy (I forgot his name). At the end, it seems like Daewi can't hold back his emotions, and vent his emotions to everyone and to his own friends. |
 |
| The episode was quite tense throughout, but it was typical of it's style, and then that ending hit and it was just oof. I have no words really. |
| This was such a weird episode. I couldn't believe what I was watching. This marriage story line came so badly out of nowhere. Why are they even marrying so soon? I didn't expect Daewi to defeat Mira so soon either. So many unexpected things in this episode and I honestly don't know how to feel about any of it. |
 |
| This took a weird turn with the marriage and all. Good thing Jin and Daewi were there. Daewi mercilessly defeated Mira. |

| Mira wants to marry for money but heh that ain't gonna happen cause Daewi and Mori ruined the marriage XD. Both of em are absolute chads. Daewi was brutal in his match with Mira, damn that was harsh. Thou tbh the anime adaptation failed to deliver even half the emotions webtoon did with this event. |
 |
| I kinda lol'd at the idea of Mira getting married. She doesn't seem like the type especially at her age right now but she has her reasons. That wedding dress looks nice on her though. And her husband was suspicious from the start... My favorite part of the episode is probably when Jin and Han came to take care of some business. At least Mira made the right decision after all that. Fight was short as hell..I blinked and it was over. |
 |
| And, here I am thinking we finally slowed down a little bit. True, it was a breather from the fights and focused on Mira. But, it is still fast-paced within this episode. Han Daewi losing his cool and went on a inner rage, I get it but sadly Mira has to receive that as well. As an anime-only for most of the time, can I ask if they're compressing the chapters? Just wanted to clarify. Right, also that it looks like they're introducing Stand-like powers. |
 |
| I really feel like this could have been split into 2 really good episodes but as it is this one feels kind of mediocre. Animation was good and so was the cinematography but the massive shift in tone for the last 2 minutes feels strange. I'm kind of hoping things slow down a little so we can five deeper and digest the plot some more but they may just be my personal preference. |
Nainu_ said: As a webtoon reader, yes, like Tower of God, most infodump are compressed to the bare minimum.As an anime-only for most of the time, can I ask if they're compressing the chapters? Just wanted to clarify. Take Daewi's loss-of-cool incident and the match against Mira, So if you are intending to catch up on whatever the anime missed, the webtoon is your best reference. |
|
| What a great episode, Mira in a wedding dress ? lol didn't expect to see that. Jin and Daewi's entrance in the ceremony was legendary xD But damn I see Daewi is becoming more and more interesting, especially for his backstory part, he totally destroyed Mira, damn. |
 |
| That was so bad... At least it lasted for just an episode. |
DoomdoctorJul 27, 2020 8:31 AM
 |
| it honestly felt like two filler episodes played at 2x speed lmao but I don't want to complain about anything. all I can say is mira looked beautiful. :D looking forward to watching "pissed off Han" vs "Mori" |
Migi... Handle the defense. |
| Everything was going well til Mira's marriage. I mean that was brought up so abruptly that I thought I was watching wrong episode or OVA. I haven't seen the source material so I don't know if the thing were rushed or some scenes were deleted when making this episode but one assured thing is that it really feels weird ep to me. I still need some information about the black robed guys and what really happened to Daewi's past as well. |
| Even if I'm alone, I'll go, even if I want to die. I can hear your voice, saying I shouldn't die. Even if it's difficult, even if I cry from loneliness I can feel warmth from deep inside my heart. Going round-and-round and flowing, time is ever-changing. I can't remember what happened anymore, but If I try and close my eyes, I can hear someone's laughing voice For some reason, now, that is My Most Precious Treasure. from Ichiban no Takaramono, by LiSA |
Wow, Mira is gorgeous as a bride. Too bad the happiness didn't last longer, Daewi was really brutal with her... I wonder how she'll manage to bring praise to her style now. |
 |
| Welp, that Seongjin is fishy since the beginning, and he's a member of that organization! Good thing their wedding got cancelled, but he took Mira's sword! Daewi also suddenly change after his friends death. I'm excited to see Jin Mo-Ri vs Han Daewi!  |

| I hope this episode is the worst one of the anime. What a piece of trash episode. The first 3 felt like 2min and this one was a pain to get to the end. The only good thing about it is the animation. |

| People realize the episode felt rushed and didn't flow at all.. but that's only because they cut out so much from the webtoon! If you read the webtoon, you'll see it gives a deeper story line and doesn't skip any crucial parts to why it makes sense. For example, it shows the actual fight between Mira and Dae-Wi, with her initially trying to block a hit from him with another sword she brought and it became her downfall, as he breaks it in 2. and she learns from it via another character we've met. Improving her swordsmanship later. The anime just went ahead and had him beat the crap out of her in a 20 second clip.. Yeah its emotional, but it cuts out so much story later so as to rush through this anime.. Even the fruit that made Jin almost die had a story to it and how he found it and an important character tied to his future development cut out and just show as Park Mu-jin just giving him some fruit to eat?? Sorry its disappointing. Read the webtoon. Also Mira being a bad ass and ripping her dress.  |

| Super baffled that they decided to animate this arc. So random in the webtoon and just as random and also bad in the anime due to the obvious fast pacing they have to keep. Honestly would have been better if they skipped this and not shoehorn in rushed character development, just keep the ''rule of cool'' with fights non-stop instead really. |
| Damn this episode really felt a bit weird. First was that whole proposal/marriage thing concerning Mira that came out of nowhere. I appreciate that they're giving time to polish the characters but that was a little too sudden. Last episode was all about fighting then we had this little "skit" episode that honestly felt like filler. And the thing with the cult(?) so basically all their members have this magic stand-like power. The best part of this episode for me is the end part concerning Daewi. He lost it when he saw his friend on a deathbed leading to him brutally defeating Mira in the semi-finals. Maybe in the next episode we will fully understand Daewi's character. Hoping for more fight scenes next week because ngl that's the only thing making me want to continue with this series. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| What the f is happening?! Marriage? Daewi's friends death? Daewi entering edge mode? Jesus Christ, things are moving way too fast. WAY. TOO. FAST. The marriage thing should've went for at least 2 episodes, they fit that in less than 20 minutes and ended it. Then we see the whole Daewi thing. Can't they pace it a little bit better? The trio's friendship is something I can get behind of, but man shit's going haywire way too fast. I thought it'd be one big tournament arc, it's nothing like that. On the first episode they decided to not make it a 1v1 instead one big battle royale, okay okay I get it. But then something else happens, there is a fight between Jin and the other big dude who was supposed to be a villain for 2 episodes until Jin easily blitzed over him. And then the battle royale happens and the episode ends on a cliff hanger showing Jin and that other dude fighting, on the next episode Idk wtf happened but it became a 1v1 from a battle royale. Apparently the big bad dude and some other randos plus the main trio won the battle royale. Then on the 1v1 two members of the trio, Mira and Daewi easily blitz the other contestants while Jin blitz the big bad guy who was supposed to be a villain for 2 episode -.- And on this episode we find out the Mira is getting married but actually she's not getting married. Sigh. When Jin and Daewi intervened I thought the fight was gonna look cool, but guess how it ended? Mira blitzed that guy under 5 seconds with another one of her "Hand sword" moves. In all honestly, up until now the story has been pretty shallow, the only thing that is good is probably the sakugas and that's it. The trio just easily blitz everyone without any effort, there is no room for development. Edit: I forgot to mention. Worst part of this episode. I was actually interested for the fight between Mira and Daewi. 10 second clip, it sucks. This episode was horrible. |

 I said keep your hands on the table |
| Fuck that was disturbing at the end. |
| I thought this was going to be a filler episode but I'm glad I saw it out. I dislike when shows rush things but it makes sense that she would be okay with such a rushed/forced marriage like her dad did before, & she would do anything for her father's legacy. I actually teared up a little when she accidentally punched her uncle because it perfectly showed that her marrying him would be a 'slap in the face' to her family, instead of honoring it like she thought it would. But man, things with Dae-Wi in the tournament were emotional as well. I could only imagine the pain he's going through. Him hitting Mira in her wound from the wedding was super gut wrenching.. I've said it before in past forum posts but I'm glad I gave this show a chance. It's turning out to be way better than I could've expected from something I thought would be just well animated fight scenes. Super excited to see where the next episode goes! I hope they get more into the cult/church soon ♥ |
| well that was well out of leftfield. i couldd've sworn ep. 3 left on a different note. |
asjunewoo said: The fuck was with the pacing How I've felt since the first like four minutes of the show. |
| What the fuck was this out-of-nowhere cheesy mini-arc filler episode, including comicbook villain, fighting at a wedding ceremony and all of that. This episode was horrible. The only good thing were the last two minutes. |
| Sometimes I feel like GOH anime exists only to make us read the manhwa. I didn't read it yet but I guess I'm going to, since this episode (especially) left me with a lot of questions and I begin to feel a little disappointed. Even though it started a little bit weird with all that marriage stuff coming out of nowhere, I thought the episode will be important regarding Mira's development, but the last few minutes were so rushed and emotionless that I don't know what to think anymore. It seemed rather a preview than a proper ending of an episode... |

Oh, God - the lives people try to lead. Oh, God - what a world they try to lead them in! |
felipeliborio said: By far the weakest episode up until now. It had it's moments but overall just felt off. 100% agree. God I hope things will get a little bit better on the next episodes. |
| I accept random friend requests! |
| Why every stand user on this show is so weak? I'm becoming really bored watching this, starting to think Korea doesn't have any good material to show. |

| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| The plot with Mira getting married was so fucking weird and forced. There was some plot relevance to it seems like but the way it was just hamfisted out of nowhere was so bizarre. Not to mention it barely makes sense. And this pacing is going way too fast, right after we go through this whole arc we jump right into another one without any build up, this feels rushed. However those last few minutes themselves tho were the best minutes of this whole series so far. Saved this episode for me. |
| Oh. The first half wasn't that much rushed, albeit it's still weird to watch. Daewi vs Mira fight felt really weak to me, like it was suddenly pop out of nowhere. I cannot complain enough though since they really crammed a lot of chapters in manhwa like ToG. |
 |
| This episode was so weirdly paced. It left a really offputting impression of the series overall, and that's not a good sign. They breezed through Mira's segment too quickly to really make me care, especially when she's literally one of the main characters. The lack of any siegeways between most of the scenes is troubling, too....it put down any ability to really bring any sense of emotional appeal. I wanted to care for Mira, ngl, but the whole frigging wedding shit was just rarted. And then we awkwardly jump to introducing Han's little drama segment and we see him beating the shit outta Mira to advance to the final fight with Jin, obviously. It felt so cold and apathetic that it left me scratching my head in both perplexion and disgust. Jin's upbeat personality hung on me enough to maintain my interest, but this was nevertheless a very disjointed episode at least pacewise. Makes me really worry about how the rest of the story will be handled, though I also think it's the source material's fault for being suddenly too conceited. |
 |
| Majority of episode was meh that ending tho holy fuck |
| So he's part of the secret organization, well he can have that sword. Mira found another reason to fight for her dream, Daewi just lost his. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Jesus... What is going on. Take it slow. Like. Seriously. I see so many aspects of this that I like but they ruin everything with this incredibly fast pacing and it just does not make sense at all. I feel like I just met the main 3 characters and now they are bff's? Someone asks to marry, she says yes and marriage in the same episode? Man I do not feel any remorse for the girl. Like there is no time to get to know her and to even care one bit. Sorry for this frustration. It seems like I need to read the source material to like this thing. |
 check out my twitch: https://twitch.tv/slowy |
| Mira is beautiful there but damn she got brutally beaten by Daewi there huh Daewi really loves his dying cancer bro though and ye gonna grab your own dream  |
| By far the worst episode. Lol, do they actually expect us to give a shit about these characters. I guess the dude playing dirty and hitting the girl’s wound at the end right after he helped an opponent last episode was somewhat interesting. |
EightSevenJul 27, 2020 9:47 AM
| LMAO what was that? what's with this pacing? tbh as reader i thought they gonna skip this Mira wedding arc because even in manhwa it feels unimportant they also skipped the entire Mira vs Daewi? they seriously picked and crammed the worst part here. |
| Didn't get much of this episode. Seemed very rushed, but I can't say since I haven't read the manga. The way they showed Mira's past was too superficial, and probably next episode will be the past of Daewi and his dying friend. Still waiting for the REAL fighting scenes. |
| I neither agree nor disagree, on the contrary. |
