aww, them. Hiling is great in these flashbacks |
| 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. |

Farabeuf said: This anime is so good. I have such a hard time reading what Bosse's ultimate end game is. 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. |
| 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. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| 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. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| 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! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| This anime is still playing with my feelings about each characters since episode 1, so many plot twist about them. Great animation indeed, thanks for pointing the directors, noticeable in this one. |
| 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. |

I wonder if that's Miranjo's real look or something she wishes to be, if it's first then i really like it.  |

| 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 |

| Another very good episode, I think my favorite so far. Hilling and Daida, very confident at the beginning of the series, finally show a lot of weaknesses. Nice effort to show Daida's distress too, and the fight scene against the monsters was perfectly directed and animated, a true pleasure |
TubbyPangolin said: The screams and anxiety from Daida in his situation were really well done, just impressive work. https://twitter.com/ariariariari_/status/1468994454317338624 an Arifumi Imai tweet "Mr. Kaji's screaming was so great that we had to readjust Daida's expression in the drawing after recording. Some of the original artists voluntarily lip-synced their drawings to Mr. Kaji's screaming. Thank you very much!" Basically Yuki Kaji going above and beyond and staff members wanting to support this. |
| 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. |

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. |

I was thinking at first that it could have been Bojji's mom in the icy statue room but i think, that can be easily discarded now and didn't really make sense as well so have to bide our time on the reveals. |
| Kings Ranking keeps on slapping , Dorshe going from a background character to a pretty hype ass dude in one episode lol glad he made it mad respect to someone pulling some souls shit rocking two shields |

Best Bodyguard Dorshe |
| This episode was actually really good, other than the Miranjo monologue in the middle which felt out of place (Could have used some conversation instead?). It built up the character of the queen with all the growth through the eyes of Dorshe, and allowed it to deliver the strong and noisy climax, the flashback was actually useful to solve different questions (Why is this guy not obeying the King? Well, it was kind of his mission to not do so) and the fight was ridiculous. It also glued Bosse's motivation, which was something needed to clear the two different paths that could unravel his character (I like the phrase "I'm going with the flow", they are building up some interesting conflict there). A lot of things done here, and the pacing was extremely good. I can see that they poured some extreme effort to make this one of the best episodes of the series because the narrative exploits the essence of the anime |
| Best episode in a long while. Hiling continues to develop into a great character, but I feel like what they did to develop Bosse, Miranjo, and Daida was much more significant. I’m fully back on board this anime again. |
| That was a great episode, the relationships and interactions between Bojji, Hiling and Dorshe was so heartwarming and cute. Dorshe is a real man, he's created to be likable and I liked him already Bosse is so mysterious, he doesn't look like a bad guy but his actions say the opposite |

| Yo, insanely great episode! I love Hiling so much, best mom. It's awesome how they can just make us instantly like a character, like what they did with Dorshe this episode. Plus, his weapon of choice is so sick and unique, I mean, dual wielding spikey shields!? Like bro, that's sick. I honestly wonder if Bosse knew he was gonna get revived, or he probably knew, but he doesn't really want to deep inside, he's just going with the flow right now, kind of keeping Miranjo in check. Yuki Kaji back at it again with the insane screaming, that Daida breakdown scene was so good, from the visuals to the voice acting. It's really nice to see too, Daida feeling what it's like to be in Bojji's world. I hope Hiling and Dorshe goes to Bojji or something. Really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Great, now Hiling is my favorite character and Dorshe the most underrated one. Can't wait to see whos the next to surprise me. |
| I guess Bosse is planning smth and it has to do with kagami. Maybe he's waiting for Bojji to come as he's already known that Bojji is currently the strongest person. But damn man, Bosse is just a crap of a father. |
 |
| Well I must say this anime is really good....you can figure that out yourself just by looking at the ratings on Mal but still this fall 2021....this is one anime I really look forward to watch every week....That said this was a good episode....I really want to see Bojji and Kage again!!!! |
| It was really beautiful. The Queen is probably a favorite character of mine at this point. She's brash, but caring-- She just lets her anger get ahead of her own brains! Daida breaking down was hard to see too. He's still just a kid, after all. There was a shot during the fight where the guard mister was thrown against the wall, but it became a POV shot for a moment. Totally seamless. The episodes all have different flavors, but they effectively bring out the best of whatever is happening. |
   |
| it is official. Queen Hilling best girl of the season. |
| Impressive episode as always, Queen Hiling is really the best girl of the season. Is this some scenario where King Bosse actually wants Bojji kill him or smth? feels like he didn't want to hurt Hiling or any of his family members at all. He's a shit father for sure tho. |
| I think when Bosse said he's going with the flow that kinda added everything together for his character: First Bosse and Miranjo meet devil, because at this point in his life, Bosse cared about being the strongest more than his future family. Then, after finally gaining that strength at the cost of Bojji's strength, he regrets, and vows to protect Bojji with everything, thus ending his adventures and founding their kingdom. Next, Bosse dies and Miranjo reincarnates him using Daida as a vessel, this scene in particular is important because what Bosse says when he awakens, "so, ive sacrificed another son". "Another" is obviously referencing the power stolen from Bojji, but the overall word choice leaves me to believe he has no desire to reincarnate, but some kind of former contract with Miranjo has left his hands bound. Whether this is a contract like the one he made with the demon or if he actually has feelings for Miranjo is still up in the air. but something is preventing Bosse from taking direct action against Miranjo, which is why he's orchestrating things in the background, like telling Domas to destroy the gate to the underworld, and then making Miranjo use up her energy by dancing with him. Also, Bosse might not know how to reverse the potion that reincarnated him inside of Daida, so he might actually need Miranjo in order to pull that off. |
| Poyo. |
| OMG! This show just keeps getting better and better! (cuz it's very hard to predict on what's gonna happen on the next events) the stellar performance again by Kaji Yuki (Daida) LOLZ when Kajikaji said: "koroshite KOROSHITE!!!" haha sounds like Eren! LOLZ Queen Hilings determination and of course the Sakuga fight between Dorshe and those three demondogs who was tasked to assassinate Hiling! DAMN!!! 5/5! |
