So did Nibelcole kill Shido? Reine discussing more so I think everyone now can guess what's up. The girls in lingerie looks hot too bad we barely saw anything. Kurumi licking Shido cute.
Nice to see Sawa from Date A Bullet reappear for next week.

Actually I already know why Reine always calls Shidou by the name Shin
And I also know who is Reine's best boyfriend of all time

Hmm, so it's pretty much confirmed Kurumi is doing time rewind shenanigans to save Shido. It's like a reverse Higurashi now. lol

Can't wait to see her past revealed. Reine was also dropping some suspicious info, like there's no way that's a coincidence.

ok, but somehow i miscalculated it, because i thought Kurumi's past would be told in episode 10, and i was wrong, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!!!!

I think I was spoiled about Kurumi's plan last week on CR, so that kind of sucks since I was looking forward to the shock factor of whatever is coming. I'm still excited, but since I haven't even read the LN I haven't been able to even be surprised. This episode is still pretty good though.

The next episode is gonna adopt Chapter 4 from LN Vol 16, gonna be sweet.
Also seeing Kurumi arc getting adapted makes IV very much worth it, not that Mukuro arc didn't have its moments (Nia's needed a better adaptation, ep3 was disappointing).

Kurumi and Shindo fighting with their bentos, so adorable. Also, Reine dropping some foreshadowing for the next arc...

At the end of episode 12, we should get an S5 announcement, it cant go another way, if not that, fuck them all for stopping the best arc that had its middle and then making us wait without knowing further.

Two things:
1) I don't like Kotori. But her adult version speaks volumes. I wish she could have looked this way from the very beginning.

2) Kurumi-hen has officially kicked off. We did see her friend in Date A Bullet if I'm not wrong. Bring on her past!

This episode was seriously lacking in plot progression, but very heavy on character moments and I have no problem with that. Yes, I'm perfectly aware that, in theory, a good story should have a healthy balance between characterization and plotting, but if I had to choose, I'd choose characterization, any day, no questions asked.

While the episode does continue the story arc of Shido's dates with Kurumi, the real core of the episode was with the Spirits, who get a moment to shine and interact with each other. I just love how this episode reinforces the theme of family introduced all the way back from Mukuro's story arc.

Date A Live is the gift that keeps on giving, intense action and meaningful character development included, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Ah, someone who gets me, I would also like for Kotori to look like that since the beggining. Those legs are yummy kek.

The start of episode... LOL

"Two pros are facing off, just like in manga!, I think I see their auras"

Totally not Food Wars, LOL (plus the reacts)

Kurumi is so cute flustering, cause Shido found out one of her weakness is she likes cats.

Tho, part of them is acting, only some is true.

Both had ulterior motive to make the other fall in love first, but the taste of food are the true deal.

And Kurumi steals a lick on Shido's face. How Shido not get super flustered from that is... well... actually... Shido has always been somewhat of a block-head dense harem protag...

(actually... couldn't Kurumi just constantly try it over and over with time rewind til Shido falls in love first?)

___ ___ ___

FK U Shido... getting cute girls dressed in their lingerie and going into your bed... AND all you did was pushing them out the door... could have at least talked with them and enjoy the view for a while.

Especially right afterwards Shido gets "attack of the clones"... Tho he wakes up next day with no wounds... (probably a dream, part "wet dream, part nightmare") (that or Kurumi clones strikes again)

BUT, younger girls are now older.

Kotori sure grew some boobas. Yoshinon playing as the "wife"... so cute.

Tohka, the Twins and Natsumi didn't change much... especially since we already seen the "grown up" version of Natsumi from her self-transformation...

Muku just grew a tiny bit taller (probably from shoes) and dressed in Geisha cloth, maybe her booba is a bit larger too.

Meanwhile... we got younger version of Origami, Miku, and Nia.

Not really sure why they need Lolis to resist Kurumi's sexiness... I doubt Kurumi would turn into a Loli anytime soon.

___ ___ ___

Meanwhile Reina is teaching the girls what to do for Valentines.

And Reina talks about her first and last love...

While in mid, Kurumi shows up in Apron... and Reina returns back to the ship. Guess we don't get Reina's Choco.

And Kotori never made choco before? huh? and while fail melting the chobo, there's a tiny bear in it... RIP bear.

On the other hand... Origami is using 3D printer... that's cheating Origami.

We saw what choco the girls made, and they look fairly normal, with exception of Nia's booba choco...

I wonder what Kurumi made.

That Ambush just after waking up early in the Morning from Origami, Nia and Miku.... and their punishment for acting on their own lol Miku was so Cute, small Origami is as adorable as i remember her and then there is the addition of small Nia this time, she is adorable too =v=

Nibelcole scores another kill.

Reine is such a mother to Shin and too the Spirits too hehe
Glad she and some other Spirits who didn't get much Screentime before actually get some more this season,
too bad Reine went away early cause she wanted to observe from Fraxinus.

Natsumi the all knowing and all rounder Spirit shines again helping the other Spirits out with her "basics" knowledge of Chocolate making,
Good Girl🧡

That Chocolate from Nia though lmao
and she presents her Chocolate with the smile of an Angel
not too surprising she is pretty naughty after all only rivaled by Origami or Miku in beeing perverted

Things are getting sweet.. Erm I mean things are getting wild! I'm kinda biased on opinion as Kurumi is my fav character, and seeing how all the alternatives she is creating still exist even after death exist in some kind of universe, and can talk to each other is kind of mind blowing lvl epic from a story point of view. I wonder if its iteration of her is building to try seal Shido from past experience of failing to kill him.

I can only assume the start of the eps foreshadowed this Kurumi vs Shido sealing battle which has raged across time and multiverses over bento on the rooftop, while us as the viewer just begs them to go get a room already.

Could this chocolate fest be truly the final showdown between the pair! Love it!!!

Shido, you sleazy boy.. ;P Using Kurumi's love for cats like this..
Nice guess, Shido.. You guessed all 3 right.. ;P Miku, Nia, Origami indeed.. ;P Guessing girls like that in your bed, without seeing them.. You sure, Shido, you haven't done some things with them before?.. ;P Also nice scene overall.. ;P
Milf Kotori.. Well.. Interesting..
Everyone turned older looking?.. And our trio we saw in bed earlier are younger..
Tohka, be careful, you'll eat all the choco at this rate..
Miku and Nia had interesting ideas about chocolate.. ;P Even if they didn't try them now, who knows about future.. ;P
Hm.. How Reine is related to Shido..
Well.. Origami's body size figures are nice.. Though, I probably would enjoy more just real Origami in poses like that.. Or with wings.. ;P Not to eat.. But to appreciate.. Maybe hug.. Or something more.. ;P I hope Origami would be so kind as to make some present.. ;P
Em.. Nia.. Your chocolate looks.. Interesting.. ;P

Kurumi-ception.
Dem bento's.
A shokugeki?
LMAO at the girls clapping.
Dat lick.
Valentine's day.
LMAO at Shido guessing Origami, Miku, and Nia.
Miku oppai and booty.
Dat knock.
Nibeelcole.
Oh shit! They cutting Shido.

LMFAO at Nia's chocolate. The 1st set of nipples in DAL and its chocolate. Definitely feels like a spit in the face considering they've been hiding nipples and nakedness as much as they can. Not only Miku's oppai, but her booty is lacking in comparison to DAL II. The pain. Oh look at that, the small chested Nia has large oppai now during the bed scene. Inconsistency is key this season. Shido going head first into Reine's oppai don't hit the same due to the reduction. So I guess Nibeelcole got bored and left because they couldn't kill Shido?

That lunch battle made me so hungry for Japanese cuisine! I'm gonna order one later.
I can't believe he declined Miku's offer to take care of him!
I love their adult forms, especially Kotori; she looks hot! I'm not into lolis, but Miku's form is very cute!
I like Origami's chocolate. However, I don't think I can eat such a work of art.

As a Huge fan of DaL I want to see this story evolve but understand that it is a harem and it ma hinder the bigger picture. Yet I find that having so many different characters that are "main casted" hinders the quality and excitement of the main hero ultimate decision to who he will pick but at this point he either pick tohka or the last girl ever to be written into the story do to the fact he needs to do the "right thing" and either pick none or one. unless it chooses all of them in which case is lazy writing

DAL is like a totally different story to quintuplets or nisekoi. The harem tag is misleading

That is true, But it's rare for this type of archetype of the harem to be found so high in rating. i truly am unaware if there are any others in the genre that carry this many "side pieces" but I know it is not often done for the same reason I even wrote this comment. so in sum, more quantity equals less quality

Dal is more on the science fiction side really and is different from quintuplets, kaguya, saekano, nisekoi. It is a far more plot and lore driven story

I just like how the Christian Spirit Clones pull up and just start attacking the mc like its no big deal.



I miight like them better than kurumis clones

The thing competition between kurumi and shido getting mad annoying though, i never thought id say this, but i think we have too much kurumi

No way the spirit girls started to WANT Shido the instant kurumi came back lol

Funny episode but way too much focus on making those dang chocolates for the last half the the episode
