| Damn, didn't expect the chairman to be the one holding Ayato's sister. I'm really curious about the friend guy who semes really shady. We knew he was shady since early on season 1 but it's great to see more into this subplot now. Needs more Claudia if you ask me. |
 |
| Predictable tournament.....Ayato is basically Kirito 2.0, so basically bs approved!!! |
 |
| I like the new Ser=Veresta. Pretty cool new upgrade made from Ayato and Julis' love xD. I have been waiting to see the secret about Ayato's friend. He looks op |
| Ok great all that effort to win the Festa and there's no meaning because Ayato will never get anything out of his prize request... That's fked up. I don't quite get how the reformed Ser=Versta fulfilled the requirements of Ayato being faster than AR-D to be able to get one up on him. Also, why is Julis not at the prize ceremony!???? Ayato blushed at Sylvie's wink when he has never had any reaction to the other girls acting cute... that was surprising. |
 |
| Great victory for Ayato and Julis. Ayato finally got his sword that fits with his fighting style. Next episode names ''Lieseltania'', that means Ayato and the gangs will visit Julis's hometown. I am really excited for next week. |
 |
| dat wink tho. I find it cute when Sylvie winked and Ayato blushed back. Already had a bad feeling about that Chairman when he gave a bad look at Ayato during the start of the festa. I didn't buy his lies about the no evidence about that fatso. The fight was predictable as many says. But it was fun watching it when he got an upgrade. Better than him losing. I skipped a lot of lame chatter like Flora's whining. Seems like next episode the two are going somewhere. Yeah I know where they're possibly heading but I'm not gonna say it. Happy to see Sylvia again. |
| The fight scene felt so underwhelming to me. And if you paid attention you could see the twist on the end come a mile away. Still an enjoyable episode. |
i love that wink of sylvia <3 anyway, good episode, the ending was predictable and ayato got powered up again each episode is getting better and better, i hope to see more :D 8/10 |
 Seems like they did not put much effort here.. |
| The chairman was the guy who fought Ayato's sister right? so it makes sense for him to be involved. RM-C has ulm manadite as it's engine, the same material the ogre luxes are made of :O A 3rd robot is also in the planning stages, so it'll get even more powerful. Yabuki kills the shadow ninja cause with powerful higher ups letting him stay alive is pointless. The fight was dope, let's have a toast to victory.  |
 |
| Fucking finally, that tournament arc is over. Also remove Flora now please. Better things to come now surely. |
| ^ I think the animator was pissed so he decide to sneaky in this frame. |
Yeahhh probably XD |
| So the Festa is over. Julis and Ayato deserved it, and that final fight was great. Loved this episode as well. Even though the Festa is over, there's still a lot more going on it seems.... Didn't expect the chairman to work closely with Dirk, though. And Yabuki is one shady guy as well, holy shit. It feels like the story's far from over. |
  |
| Glad the Festa is over, kinda weird animation in this episode all things considered but now it seems like we're gonna see some more conflict that takes place outside of the school setting at last. I wonder if they are going to try and cover the entirety of Volume 6 in the last 3 episodes of this series. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
Yautja said: I feel like Ayato unlocked his Bankai after he got the smaller version.At least the sword is ridiculously oversized anymore. Predictable end, but it was earned. Tsun Lester was hilarious. |
 |
| As expect Ayato will win -_- Yabuki sure is something there. Overall, super meh until the end where they show Ayato's sister in that capsule. |
 |
THERE IS NO NEED FOR CHARACTER IN BACKGROUND TO BE DRAWN DETAILED. THERE IS EVEN NECESSITY FOR THEM TO BE DRAWN THIS WAY, otherwise we would get monstrocity like https://gfycat.com/RemotePastKiskadee |
 |
| This episode suddenly became much better when Sylvia winked... ....even the dense Ayato blushed when he saw that... Sylvia rules! ...she needs her own arc |
 (っ◔◡◔)っ 𝓘 𝔀𝓲𝓼𝓱 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓪 𝔀𝓸𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓾𝓵 𝓭𝓪𝔂 ♥ |
| Wonder what the final three episodes will be... Obvious win and chairman guy was fishy from the start, so I expected that. Sylvia still best girl despite getting 2 seconds of screen time. |
 |
| Oh man, we know who the true tsundere of Ayato's harem is now, it's Lester. |
| As i thought, the last episodes will be dedicated to Ayato's sister, finally, we will know what happened to her. That detective/cop is somehow related to Ayato's sister and he probably knows where she is and they are planning to do something to her, that's why he said they didn't found any evidence to that guy, they are friends or at least the share the same objective. Ayato got a new sword design!! Finally xD That old square design was so horrible. Saya trying to sound badass and scary but what everyone sees is a cute girl :3 Kirin as always is the cutest girl and that moment when she began to hide under the sheets because she was embarrassed :3 so cuteeeee omg xD We finally saw Sylvia again, Ayato even blushed when he saw her xD I really hope there will be more of her helping them and maybe in the future she will join to Ayato's harem ;) Great fight, Ayato as always being so OP xD I'm actually enjoying so much this 2nd season that i wonder if there is enough plot for a 3rd season, because if there is i would certainly watch it. By now this anime is a decent 9/10 for me. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Better hope everyone watched after ED! |
| This was a good final fight between Ayato and that giant robot, and Julis still has a long way to become a really strong girl, but I really like the interaction that exists between her and Ayato, on the other hand Lester is a great tsundere, I think he was another joining the harem of the protagonist, and now a change of scenery, I'm looking forward to the last arc of the anime .. |
  |
| You know things going down when Ayato switched his light saber from Mace Windu's to Darth Vader's. The dark side had cookies... ayato could not resist. The ep has that final episode feeling though it still has 3 ep's wonder how they'll wrap this up? I sure do hope its not a cliffhanger. |

| Man I STILL love the ED song. I felt the fight was a bit...lacking? But still not terrible. And that ending scene, quite the reveal! |

| That Chairman really give of an evil vile since he first appears , Sylvia's Wink is very powerful to make Ayato blush |

| As a fan of the LN I cannot help but be majorly disappointed by the conclusion of this arc... The one thing that irked me to no end was how they portrayed that final fight. First off, Ardi was embedded with the remains of the Grav-Sheath, yes, but his body wasn't able to contain all the power that it was emanating, leading to his cracked appearance. From what I remember, Ayato and Julis were getting pinned down by his relentless attacks leaving them no chance to breath or form a solid plan on the fly. The only reason why they managed to garner enough time to adjust the Ser-Vesta was only because the Grav-Sheath nearly destroyed his body and he was forced to stop in order to "cool down". Secondly, Julis sustained way more damage in the end than this poor adaptation let off. She was suppose to have been knocked unconscious after the Ser-Vesta adjustment, leading to a one-on-one situation at the end of the match. Surely if they'd properly adapted the fight, it would have been way more epic (though budget-wise it probably would have took it's toll, but still...). To be honest, I did not like that fight in the least. It was like watching an abbreviated highlight reel, and it annoyed the hell out of me. The actual prize-giving ceremony was also suppose to be held immediately after the match (in another arena since they totaled that one), so I'm not sure if what we got in the show was just people re-watching the ceremony... or if they actually changed it to a few weeks afterwards (which really wouldn't make sense). That's the reason why Ardi and Julis weren't present at the ceremony (Ardi was taken in for repairs by Carmilla and Julis was in the hospital). Other than that, all the important conversations were carried out as in the novel, and I'm just glad that they kept Yabuki's awesome-sauce moment in there, since it will tie in with stuff in the story later. No spoilers up to now, since they also did the Haruka reveal in the novels as well. Overall they'd done decent with everything else, but the way that they toned down the fight scenes was somewhat unforgivable. |

| I always shipped Julis and Ayato together, but I don't know, Sylvia just looks so cute! And it seems Ayato is starting to like her, and he sees Julis as a best friend. |
| I don't care how little she appears, Sylvia-sama is the one and only worthy girl in this series. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| Sylvia is OP, in more ways than one. |
| So now that tournament is over what are they gonna do? |

First off, Ardi was embedded with the remains of the Grav-Sheath, yes, but his body wasn't able to contain all the power that it was emanating, leading to his cracked appearance. It wasn't Gravi-sheath but a different Ulm Mana Dite. Ayato said that it felt similar to Gravi-sheath as they were both Orge-Luxes going out of control but Ardi managed to control it though his body took a toll. I think that was shown and said rather well in the anime especially with all those big cracks and malfunctions. L-Ryoshi said: Secondly, Julis sustained way more damage in the end than this poor adaptation let off. She was suppose to have been knocked unconscious after the Ser-Vesta adjustment, leading to a one-on-one situation at the end of the match. Julis was conscious (at least from what i remember) but her hand suffered much bigger burns than shown in the anime. It still shows how dangerous Ser-vesta is since a Fire-user like Julis got burned by it. L-Ryoshi said: Surely if they'd properly adapted the fight, it would have been way more epic (though budget-wise it probably would have took it's toll, but still...). To be honest, I did not like that fight in the least. It was like watching an abbreviated highlight reel, and it annoyed the hell out of me. Well considering the amount of information they put in this episode it can't be helped that the fight was done rather quickly. The main parts of the fight are fine in my book but maybe a bit faster pace and a little extension would have made the fight much better. They already devoted 5 episodes for this volume and managed to show most of the events so i will let them off the hook even though i got my hopes up because the earlier fights in the second course were pretty nicely done. Ayato's technique with Flaming Ser-vesta looked pretty cool animated though. Went back to the novel and you are correct that Julis was still conscious. However, I always thought that they implied in the novels that Dirk had picked up the shards of Grav-Sheath and presented it to Priscilla's team to use on Ardi. I'm actually pretty positive of this point, anyway. CrotakuShinobi said: So now that tournament is over what are they gonna do? Obviously it's a victory tour in Julis' country, even the preview title implies that. |

Bigod1981 said: Why are they always given time to talk and power up? How long is the actual time between matches given the cost the time it takes to repair the stage after it's been obliterated per match? The fiesta lasted for 2 weeks. I think they have different stadiums, so even if one is destroyed there are others where the matches can be played. Julies "explains" in the first season episode 2 or 3 but isn't very clear, since the series didn't spend any time exploring or explaining the world. |
| That fcking twist at the end tho... wat d flying fck. |
  |
| ohnoooo, why does the chairman have the sister :| |

| I KNEW IT! THAT GUY WAS WAY TOO SUSPICIOUS to be just another student. He was appearing so randomly out of nowhere and almost always when something happened. It was just too convenient to be coincidence. I was wondering what they are going to do now that the tournament is over and we still have some episodes left. But now with that revelation I'm kinda hyped. I really hope we get to see a bit more of Yabuki and his true abilities. Even though I have doubts whether we'll actually see more of him. Probably only a few more moments but nothing special or revealing in any way :( |
