| Ye, these assassins planned ahead to make sure their mastermind isn't going to be discovered. Tough. Those assassins were ruthless to kill their target. It was like Beryl and their party were also fighting for their own survival. Rose and Allucia has somewhat of an interesting relationship in this show so far. She seems to to be one of the few female characters she gets along well |
 |
| Gee who would’ve thought having two high ranking royals in one area would set up an assassination attempt lol.(again) Not having the mage corps only made it even more of a target.(again) look I know the prince wants to project strength and not bow to the papist terrorists, but it gets to a point dude. At least they were smart enough to do things in a field this time so no civilians would be involved. I knew I was right to be sus on Rose. Least surprising twist ever. They tried giving her that “I like children” PR boost but it wasn’t fooling me lol. The overly cheery personality, laughing and giggling all the time when ain’t shit funny AND wanting to scout out the geographic layout of the city to plan an exit route, cmon lol. This is one of the most interesting scenarios though because for the first time we’ve seen one of Beryl’s students who did NOT take the correct path in life. What went wrong to make her choose this way.. π€ also nice way to tie back to Mewi’s whole chold trafficking ordeal since Rose claims to love children but supports a group who exploited them. Next ep should be good |

| With the mysterious assassins dealt with, the trouble is over for now with Beryl being able to head back home to Mewi. Though finding Lucy at his place too to discuss about Sphenedyardvania's faith, which is quite the sensitive topic, the Magic Corps would have to step back this one time. Given the power struggle between religious figures, which Beryl cares even less about, it's the devout faith that will stretch the Church if it ever topples, though the old man still has his reservations if it's going ot be like the Church that he faced the other day of devout followers committing suicide. Even though Rose views herself as Beryl's (earliest) student before Allucia ever came to the picture, nothing about her seems off than the usual virtues she has. Despite that, Sphenedyardvania's royal family continuing with the tour of Prince Glenn and Princess Salacia, though Gatoga warns Beryl of Hinnis being the main culprit in the case the other day. The fight amongst the wheat fields give Beryl and the Baltrain royal army a chance to control the assassins, though their numbers are many and barely enough to keep the royal family under safety. And as if in his heart, Beryl knows that Rose is connected to the affair somehow, both have their swords pointed at each other. This will be quite the finale fight to the finish. |
 |
| My suspicions about Rose being suspicious, not just in this episode but also in the previous ones, were right. |
   |
| Rose always seemed suspicious I kinda guessed she might have some involvement in the assassination attempt. |
| Yup, Rose was pretty suspicious in the previous episode. And she was really the betrayer here. |

| Big booba betrayal lol |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| The cgi fights look so good |
 |
| The fighting. The blood. Hmm!! Perfection!! Now. Sus:  Now, into the old man things: YES!!! That happens:  |
| ©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). |
| Politics, the pope faction wants the other prince who's a religious devotee to succeed so they want Glenn dead. Glenn can't show weakness so he had to go out and was attacked but my question is why tf was it only Beryl and their small group protecting the two and why didn't the guards on standby didn't join or they didn't call for them. There were so many guards too. Also everything pointed at Rose being with the assassins so no surprise there. Now whether she really is with them and will die or is just undercover or something we'll find out. Just one episode left but doesn't feel like next episode is the last. |
 |
| yup, as expected she is the one betrayed. |

| Damn, so it looks like Rose is working with the enemy... unless she's a double agent but I'm doubting that. Either way her and Beryl are going to have a "talk" and I'm looking forward to seeing how that plays out. |
| It was so damn obvious Rose will turn out to be a traitor. |
 |
| How dumb could Allucia be? A foreign knight starts being extremely pushy in asking about your nation's strategic vulnerabilities, and refuses to route her questions through proper channels, so you spill the beans just like that? Questions about the area that the royals who were almost assassinated the day before will be traveling to? |
| Phenomenal CGI again, but I'm sorry man it's just too late into the season that not even it can save this absolute boring slog of a show. At the very least, it's finally ending next week. So that's... something. |
 |
| Predictable but well an animated and decently paced. |
| I knew my suspicions were on point and I figured that’s how the episode would end. Looking forward to the next one. |
 |
| Well, it was pretty obvious that Rose would turn out to be a traitor. But after what happened with the lost child—and considering her attachment to the orphans—maybe she isn’t truly evil. It’s possible that the Pope or Hinnis, the former vice commander, is threatening the children at the orphanage, and that’s why she leaked information to the assassins. We’ll have to see if that theory holds true when she eventually faces Beryl. Still, it’s going to be hard for Beryl at first—she’s a former student he clearly cares about. |
 |
| What an ending, there was widespread killing and at the end, it seems like they jumped a little in time, and if they didn't, there will be a flashback to show how he reached that conclusion |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
| The good ol' "let's just push each other swords and make sparks without reason", I hoped that at the very least they didn't do that stupid thing, but it was too much to ask. I wonder why I still had any hope to see somewhat of a ""realistic"" fight on this series. |
Nothing important. Keep scrolling. |
| This is why I said, MAL rating is not worth following... 1. "Completed: 37", this anime has not even finished airing and people have claimed to have completed the anime and rated it already 2. 6.98, this anime deserves a much higher rating than this This is also why I explain that most the anime with higher ratings I dislike and most of the lower rated anime I like, because in my opinion, I don't the good anime like this one are appreciated. Oh and it was kind of obvious that Rose was a traitor from the first fight they had against the masked terrorists, even her former Teacher caught on pretty quick. |

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating. |
| Oh no, who would have expected Rose to betray them?! Seriously, are these five year-old writers even getting paid? On a side note while the sword fighting is pretty good it just highlights how impractical and stupid the knights armour is, especially when you compare it to their counterparts from the other kingdom. |

| @joexmdq Can you name one Show, Movie, Animation that didn't do this "push the swords"? |

8:30 Rose sure knows how to lure Allucia in π€£ Rose and Allucia talking about their past with Beryl π€
17:55 man talk about a late “get down” command π€£
I knew it. Rose is a traitor in the end. From that same country that plotted the assassination.
The fight scenes are so well animated ππ»
Where’s Surena and the other black haired mage girl? They should be helping too.

| @kennynakawaki The mage captain explained that they are not on duty because these royals are religiously superstitious about humans wielding powers that only their gods are supposed to have, so they weren't allowed around the royals. |

| Nice fights again. I'm going to guess that Rose is being manipulated or something like that, and that she'll "open her eyes" by fighting with Beryl, and then have a redemption arc. Or she'll just die idk |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| This episode showed much better just how truly skilled Beryl is, and I'm not sure too many are surprised by Rose's political alignment - she is quite devout. |
 |
| Rose was acting very sus in this episode, no surprise that it turns out she was up to something. Now we just need to wait and see what her reason are. |

| What were those farms doing so far away from the town center? (Age of Empires 2 reference). Beryl reminded me of Star Wars bouncing off the arrows with his sword. And I knew that that new girl looked very suspicious from miles away. |

| Great episode, no matter how often I see it, the CGI mixed into the 2D scenes is still very impressive. So nice to see a level-headed MC who's not afraid to kill if he has to. Blue-haired girl being an enemy was pretty obvious though. |
| too many sudden cuts during the exposition part of the episode. bad camera janks, like when Mewi comes back from shopping and sits down she's out of frame and the camera just 'zoop!' left to put the door in-frame center and Mewi out of it and Beryl is frame right. the CGA for the fight scene in the wheat fields was good, but needed more work to make it look EXACTLY like the rest of the episode. the 'heart to heart/nostalgia' discussion between Allucia and Rose at the cafe was... at least in the Eng Dub... a VERY stilted and wooden script. the acting was good, but the writing? bleck!:p why did they cut/totally take out/edit the pieces of the discussion those ladies were having about the tour of the fields? this would have given foreshadowing of Rose being involved in the assassinations. the final scene where Beryl and Rose face-off makes ZERO sense! terrible cliffhanger because it had NO setup! whomever drew those wheat/grain fields has NO idea how wheat/grain grows. it was TOO SHORT! for the grains at the head of those stalks to be that mature. yessss i know different varieties of wheat/grains etc. grow different heights. but none i've ever seen with mine own two eyeballs and held in my hands in a field were that short and looked 'harvest me! harvest me! cut me down and griiiiind meeee!' also too short to hide a human unless they're belly/low crawling... no animations of the wheat being disturbed by the moving assassins. somebody slap the ever loving crap out of whomever storyboarded the arrows and where IN-FRAME they appear. CONSTANT crappy trajectories and terminal ballistics. you can't see the archer? do NOT make the arrows appear frame-center, above the horizon line, like they just POPPED into existence! once again, just like ep10 one-handed dagger wielders NEVER bind or parry one-handed with a two-handed longsword. they also do not parry directly, they ALWAYS redirect the sword and move out of center-line of the sword-wielder. cutting an arrow mid-flight and even four and five arrows in a row with a sword? no. seriously, no. even using our technology to simulate dozens upon dozens of attempts with robots and tech... Mythbusters showed that is NOT probable and may be impossible. slowed down 'toy bow n arrow sets' or trick-shot arrows possibly! merely due to hours upon hours of practice by the bowman and the swordsman working together. but a pile arrow meant for armor piercing or a bladed arrow for flesh, in-combat at killing speeds? no. humans do NOT have those reaction times. 99% of people can't even visually perceive an arrow mid-flight and push a button on a joystick fast enough to pass a simulation test in laboratory conditions. race car drivers, tennis and baseball hitters, martial artists, lots of people with both um-natural and well-trained reaction times have taken the same tests and those folks still are NOT that much faster than the Joe/Jane on the street. this squad of assassins compared to ep10's? they sucketh harder m'lord! check the 'ewww gory wound!' count and dead baddies for the time spent fighting tween the eps. bout everybody in 10 took the pill and pushed their reset buttons. everybody in 11 got the medieval close shave and a sword-cut... two coppers... package at this barber shop. no need for a frequent shopper stamp book or customer appreciation discount card for these fellas. oh and the bows? for those 'invisible snipers'? the staves and shapes were too short. when the bowmen were shown on-screen compared to the 'who is shootin these things!?!' frames? no. nuhuh. nopers. ya got bowstaves shaped like that with those lengths? that's a horsemen's bow or a lil kiddie first ranger toy set. suction cups included! you're not hiding in the short grain fields gaining that much range with those bows. also, who is tying Passione down when it comes to da boobies with this show? let the sweater puppies wrastle! this show's Gainax Boing and jiggle physics are baaaaad! Surena's WORLD CUP!!! size udders are baaarely satisfactorily Jello-fied... all the other gals? Pudding Pops. nooo animation. just fixed shapes. a 'breast plate'? mmmkay! i getcha! attractive and confining and protecting with minimal 'wiggle room'. but out of armor, off duty, civvies? nopers. |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
