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

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.

One of the best epsiode so far. I like the fact that we always got a new character every week that have a big role in this story. Idk how many more characters that will coming up till the last eps

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


I'd say it's a magical automaton that looks like her old self.
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.

Daida mother literally she is hearing Daida's voices but also the people around her I couldn't hear it seems that only she hears it herself.

The mirror really got what it wanted and managed to manipulate Daida all along.

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.

Really great episode. Hiling really portrays a mother's unconditional love, going so far for both her sons regardless of biological affiliation. I was so invested I thought Daida was going to be reunited with her this ep and was heartbroken when she was knocked out and he practically falls into despair again.

I thought he did when he said she was the most pure and the most beautiful. Whether he's playing along to keep her happy and from destroying everything (he is doing things behind her back) or if he is genuinely in love with her I don't know. But I think at the very least Miranjo loves him.

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.

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.

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.

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.

one of the virtues of having such simple, cartoony designs is it's waaaaay easier to animate fluidly on a budget. a lot of low budget anime have these intricately designed characters but then they try to move, and it's just a mess. With more simple designs, what you sacrifice in realism you make up for in greater expressiveness in the animation.

all this to say, hot damn the animation on this show is great. It's not great in the "sakuga" sense, but more like classic animation, like early Disney shorts. There's some real flexing going on here from the animators.

also, the writing is so economical, and yet so full of hidden meaning. There's always an implication that there's more layers, more going on than we know, and every episode we're getting more and more peeled back.

I don't know that I have the critical vocabulary to really explain why this show is a masterclass, but it is.

So King Bosse is just playing his part as its fated. It seems like he's repaying Miranjo for something he was indebted to.
I guess the endgame gonna hit hard on both ends.

I still don't know what King Bosse's objectives are, either I wasn't paying attention or he hasn't revealed it yet, he did say he was "going with the flow" so maybe he doesn't even know himself.

Bojji mother proposed by asking her to fight. Hiling? Just make that ex sistah impressed by creating whatever shiny thing that was from a mere giant wooden mace. Sasuga, Bosse-sama!

Queen Hiling and Bojji scene always touch my heart so hard with their wholesomeness. Not to mention how Dorsche coming in to their picture, created a happiness to their daily lifes, before all bad shit happened since Bosse death. Glad that the shield of the queen accomplished his mission outstandingly. Sometimes the defender shall launch a counterattack to stop the nonstop attack, right?

Back to Bossee scheming, he asked Miranjo to dance, which somehow also tested her magic power too. She's still powerless as she stated and decide to gather more monsters at the underworld, which you already know Domas and Hokuro has tasked to destroy every monsters there before. Looks like the next will be screening his pov, and possibly back to Bojji again.

Its true that Daida being trapped, but also true he's inside his own body while being used by Bosse. His comment to kill magic mirror might comes true on the future. But, is it alright? While the place also got him a good lesson to understand more about his older brother's view to the world, Daida need to be more wise before even get out of the place.

So, lets just aside what Bosse promise from Miranjo on the past, regarding her desire over Hiling assassination, and lets back to the progression of the mc of these series, Bojji. I seriously miss Kage absurd form...

So... why was it again that he took his armor off?


Hilling looking for the source of Daida's voice was kinda of a silly scene since the first place she searched wasn't inside Bosse.

That woman is so much waifu material, though.


And the animation is excellent, as always. I wish more anime had such great action sequences where you can actually follow what is happening on the screen.

I rarely ever see a show that can make episodes succeed just for its focus on supporting characters and not have the MC's in it. Just really damn good job from the author to make this possible.

I have to admit that the animation during Dorshe's fight scene was pretty good. It seems like Bosse is just biding his time in Diada's body in hoping the Boji would return. I feel sorry for Hiling that she can't get her son back right now and she really cares about Boji and Daida.

Hiling was so cute in that flashback. And to think she looked like another evil stepmom when this show started. I love how they subverted that trope, and Hiling's probably my favorite character now. Anyway, Dorshe was great, and I felt kinda bad for Daida. That last line really hits.
