Crossburn said: A bit strange that they are skipping case numbers when it's an anime original though. Where did the missing cases come from, then? The "missing" cases may just be a way to give us an idea of how much time has passed? For isntance, that between ep 4 (case 9) and ep 1 (case 13) they tackled 3 missions, so it works to show Beato is being a bit more professional by then as she have been taking spy training since at least before case 9. Another example, on case 9 Chise said she was taken from the attack team again. With her joining after case 7, then we can assume on the one mission between those two she also was taken a role to protect the princess, etc. |

| Brilliant episode, by far the best one so far. Very interesting to get some more depth on Dorothy outside of her always acting seductive on missions, and it's a shame that her father ended up being killed despite getting the information (presumably because the woman was concerned about him having leaked the information to his daughter); he was far from perfect, but he ended up coming through when it mattered most. It just makes it kinda depressing that she will probably never know what happened and that she'll simply assume the worst about him when he never turns up. |
| Holy shit is this anime dark. The episode was good, but sad. I bet Dorothy will eventually find out what happened to him. She being a spy and all, she probably has an idea of what happened to him, but is either putting on a mask or simply choosing not to think about it. The feels though ;-; |
| I was taking notes for this episode because I was secretly hoping that it would be as funny as I found the last two, but no. This is probably my favourite episode of the series so far. They had a pretty smart joke at the beginning. "Half the people who come down this road never come back... Because it leads to the morgue". It's sombre but it's a pretty smart joke. Speaking of the morgue, I'm glad we got some characterisation for some of the workers there. They weren't just crooked nosed monster people, they were depressed people with reasons for being there.I'm not the biggest fan of Dorothy's father but I'm glad he got a little bit of redemption before he was axed off (ba-dum ching). Though I will say, the mafia guy is a fucking cartoon villain. Lastly, the ending of the episode. It was directed perfectly with the perfect melancholy tone thanks to Beatrice's song and the other tavern-goers singing along merrily. Even the reused animation had meaning. For the morgue workers, it's just another day. So why do anything different. Please, please let the series keep this level of quality for the rest of the series. |
| what an irony..moment when he just being killed is predictable, the bar scene is more painful than i thought |
| This is case 18 right? Should we expect a 2-cour anime? XD Kinda expected the ending but it's still sad :'(  |

| Case 18...... and it was sad as fook. Dorothy's past was a tragedy. A happy family torn by circumstances and broken apart by individual weakness. To get beaten to within an inch of her life on the daily was cruel. And just when things seemed to be looking up, her father let his guard down and ended up in the very morgue where he was trying to escape from. The only respite of it all was that Dorothy found out her father's true intentions, but even that was bittersweet at best. Looking forward to seeing how she acts in the cases after this, whether she develops a ruthless streak or whatnot. The one thing I found strange about the chronology though.... it actually took 18 Cases before her and Beatrice finally bonded? With all the things they go through, I would have thought the moment would've came sooner. |

| Dorothy's father reminded of my father by lots of reasons. This episode was extra sad for me. |

(TL : keikaku means plan ) Knowing how the Duke works, Dorothy probably knew it the moment she accept the job. |

| Interesting episode as always and the insight into Dorothy's childhood was nice. Loved the bonding between Beatrice and Dorothy. Hmm Beatrice is learning how to pick a lock eh. But man to think that both Ange and Chise will be this bad at teaching others though. So the next mission will be related to Dorothy on a personal level eh. To think that the enemies accomplice that she has to deal with this time will be her father though. So this mission is a joint operation with Dorothy and Beatrice eh well it will be a good opportunity to develop their characters. Man Dorothy's father sure is a piece of work thats for sure. Its nice that Beatrice cares so much about Dorothy's situation though. Hmm so the reason for the poor relationship is the dad being a deadbeat eh. I can see why the serious and responsible Dorothy will be angry with him. To see Beatrice get angry for Dorothy's sake is indicative of how she values the friendship between the two. Man that deadbeat bullying Beatrice like that. To think that the accident would have caused her father to be abusive though. Poor Dorothy to have such a poor childhood. Its nice that Dorothy is opening up to Beatrice though. In a way both have very similar childhoods in that both their fathers were bad ones. Though less guarded than Ange its still nice to see Dorothy's reaction when Beatrice said they are now friends though. Any wall between countries would divide love ones sadly and is a fact that is well known to both princess and ange as well. Its nice to see that princess and Ange are bonding though. Though she hates her dad it seems that she hasn't given up on him at all. Hmm a false teeth that is used to hide a note eh quite an ingenious method for spies actually. Though her dad is a deadbeat its nice that she at least tries to help him. To think that her dad will use Dorothy as a way to cover his debt though. Well that unsurprisingly made her pretty angry and these collectors are the perfect targets for her anger. As expected of a veteran spy Dorothy has excellent skills in unarmed combat. Nice to know that her dad didn't actually give his daughter to them though. Beatrice's voice imitation skills really is amazing though and is very useful. Its too bad that the dad was unable to keep his promise of reuniting with his daughter though. That scene at the pub where she sang was amazing. In the end though he wasn't the best dad he still cared about his daughter in the end. |

| This was the best episode yet and not just it was centered around Dorothy. It also portrayed how much a father can love his daughter, even if it not everything was always perfect. It's a shame, the way it had to end was really tragic. Great episode with some nice twists here and there. |

| Well, damn, this series sure likes to hurt people... As bad as the father had become, that was still quite bad for Dorothy. Although the worst part is that he actually mentioned her to the Duke's agent, which means that if they're smart, they will likely be looking for her, at first to tie up the loose ends, then, once they don't find her, for a spy who at the very least resembles his daughter. |

| Another sad background story :( Feel bad for Dorothy. That ending...damn :( At first, i didn't like Beatrice, but now she is quite nice xD and cute too :3 ahah |

| I wonder if Princess has a father who is in line for the throne ahead of her that she'll have to kill... |
| Saw that death flag coming from a mile away, so it hurt to sit through it and see them all singing. Wow. |
U1111 said: I wonder if Princess has a father who is in line for the throne ahead of her that she'll have to kill... Considering there is no mention so far I think that the Princess parents are dead already. And then they wouldn't be her actual parents, but Ange parents. And then if what Ange said in episode 1 was true, her parents may have died on the war or something like that. |

| I knew it was going to happen but it was too sad. Why? Why!? Why do they do this? Man I can't explain this heart wrenching feeling. Also I think this is 2 cour |

| -oh is it a dorothy episode this time -yep seems like they're not going through every single case, and i kinda expected that -those two women in the background of the morgue have pretty flashy clothes -beatrice leaking trade secrets again -👉 👈 -veil girl seems extremely suspicious -loud noises -beatrice boutta smack a bitch -it was just a prank daisy just a prank -giant lead block outta nowhere -unite the world -is that a fuckin knife stuck into a loaf of bread -oh shit i got goosebumps when he called dorothy dorothy -why's everyone leakin trade secrets in this episode -blonde top hat dude kinda sounds like kinkaku -👈 👋 -pretty good discipline there copying the cipher instead of taking it -uhhh, yeah i'm pretty sure blonde top hat is exactly kinkaku's VA with that "ara" he did -feels bad man -blonde top hat gets more kinkaku the more he speaks -o fuck she just stabbed that guy with his own knife -feels bad man x2 - W E A R E T H E P H A N T O M T H I E V E S I'm actually really surprised at how this episode turned out. I wasn't too much of a fan of how they did Beatrice's backstory, with them just plopping it out of the blue. The backstory of Dorothy and Danny was pretty much equally tragic, but I liked how they actually put some progression into Dorothy's backstory into this episode. I dunno, it just made it more engaging. And this episode also brought back the storytelling technique they used in episode 2, which involved keeping things hidden from the viewer until later in the episode for more dramatic effect. In particular, the whole thing about Danny not willing to sell his own daughter in order to pay off his own debt sufficiently overturned my expectations of him, and it made it seem like he wasn't such a shitter after all. This was really only impactful with what they did immediately after the reveal, which is to fuckin murder him in cold blood. That stuff combined with the entire ED sequence just made a huge payoff for the rest of the episode. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the aftermath, but the episode was still pretty enjoyable. I guess we won't know who those unnecessarily flashy characters were at the morgue until later, and I get the feeling they're gonna turn out to be plot-important somewhere down the line. |

| fucking hell man, that was probably the best episode of the season so far. the ending gave me legit teary eyes. |
| Objectivity doesn't exist. Subjectivity is an excuse. Beautiful world of online discourse. |
| Forgot to mention it seems Dorothy is actually her mother's name. |
|
| That was a very sad episode. That ending in particular. |

| I got this feeling that Ange and Charlotte are mother and daughter Another dead father, who's next? Beato's father? Ange's? Charlotte's? Next episode another father is gonna die |
 Case 18? TWO COUR! TWO COUR! Another excellent episode. I love how it shows rather then tells. Ange: "Watch closely. See?" Beatrice: "Uhh..." Ange: "I'll do it again. Watch...See?" Chise: "Watch." *SLICE* "Now you try." Beatice "..." This anime has a great sense of humor. ^_^ "Dorothy?" "It's Daisy. You know that mum won't be coming back." This was a very subtle way to explain the Daisy/Dorothy names, but it was perfectly executed. Less than 5 seconds and you have the names explained completely. I think this is what impressed me the most this episode. Dorothy's dad was such a good dad! He had a rough life, but he still cared for his daughter and wished her the best up to the very end. Why!!!??? And while I liked how they replaced the ending theme with Dorothy's song, seeing them happy while knowing what happened to Dorothy's dad just makes it even sadder! Waaaah! |
 |
| This Dorothy heavy episode was really good. Sad ending though. Damn even though the Father was a piece of shit he still loved Dorothy. His downfall was mentioning his daughter. |

| Was good episode, however I would prefer less background/back story episode from now on. |
| The first episode that doesn't end on a lighthearted note. It's good that the creators realized that the ED would have been jarring. At least Dorothy and Beatrice were able bond over their similar pasts. And both of them got their moments of badass, especially Dorothy. I liked that there was even a small bit of Ange and Princess interaction, which still tied in with the theme of the episode. Reuniting friends, lovers and families who are stuck on opposite sides of the wall, kind of like Dorothy and her father, although ironically, Dorothy was relieved that she didn't have to deal with him any longer. In perhaps the darkest episode yet, asking "do you really think you can change the world" is very relevant. Jk9 said: I think Dorothy's father is not a bad man, he just can't accept reality, but he is a good father, caring about his daughter so much.. Let's not get carried away. The fact that he refused to sell his daughter into slavery just means he had some standards. It did not suddenly turn him into a good parent, by itself. He used to be a good father before his accident, and now that his daughter came back into his life, he made an attempt to redeem himself. But that's it. Crossburn said: A bit strange that they are skipping case numbers when it's an anime original though. Where did the missing cases come from, then? The most likely explanation is that the case numbers are used to represent the chronological order and the amount of time passed between the events of the episodes. In short, to help us imagine a timeline of events. We'll probably never get to see all the cases, even if a second season happens. I think it will make Team White Pigeon more believable if we can assume that most of their cases are routine affairs; not interesting enough to warrant their own episodes. |

| We all knew how this was going to end, but it was sad nonetheless. |
| while i got sad for dorothy for being happy thinking his dad would come... i'm not sad at all for the father, not only cause he was an idiot (problems cause of the accident)...but also because he thought he could be a greedy guy around people who are doing things as dangerous as paying people to find a message teeth lmao at least i got some really cute prints from beatrice smiles =D |
favorite "new girls" from fall 2024 <3 (yeah i didn't watch much in 2025...) ... click sig for older seasons  |
| I really liked her backstory. The song was dark and uplifting at the same time. |
| I had to change this because some loser couldn't make an actual argument. So....yeah I hope you guys like the new sig. |
| From Case 7 (I guess) to Case 18? That jump, maaan. Quite a miracle the arrangement of the cases per episode don't confuse me. Holy shit this episode. No wonder I can't hate Dorothy's father BECAUSE THERE'S GOOD IN HIM EVEN THOUGH HE BEAT LITTLE DOROTHY A LOT. Ohmygod. That was a very sad episode. Jesus. NOOOOOOOOO! I'M A MESS RIGHT NOW. ;-; |

| She-devil! Something I've noticed over the past few episodes... While the Yuki Kajiura music stands out on its own, it isn't being used by the director very well. Used properly there wouldn't be a dry-eye, but instead the episode fell short in that regard. What a shame this anime is turning out to not be all that great. |
  |
| I knew it, but I had hope until the end of the episode. Men, the song flowing through the scenes, the bar, everyone joining, the corpse arriving at the morgue. Fucking sad. |
| Nice way to keep track of time passing. Decent épisode. Of course, a stand-alone but I don't expect any long background intrigue anymore (unless you consider the masterplan of the heroines as one, and that's little chance to conclude within the show). 4/5 In a full-length series, I'll be all for characters focuses up to ep10-11 (even a bit more later) but if this is a half-length one... Tokoya said: her senile dad completely lost himself and everything that he had in life he's still senile but caring enough to remember that he's her father first Doesn't "senile" means memory/personality affected by aging in english too? o_o |
| Owie owie go away! dammit don't make me sad anymore! |
| I just watched this. The delivery was so good. The last scenes were absolutely heartbreaking. |
 |
| I see now why Daisy uses the code name "Dorothy." Wow, what a mess that one was. The father was no doubt a broken, miserable man. I don't even think money would have gotten him on the right track. But at the very least, it was a step forward for him to reconnect with his daughter. Really the saddest part is how Daisy and her father effectively made up, but never got to affirm that rekindled bond with each other. |
 |
| Her dad was really insane, but in the end he did care about her! It was sad to see him dying... |
 |
| Oh my, i can't believe how sad this episode was. Everything turn out so bad, i feel so sorry for Dorothy right now. |

| Man, this episode was an emotional trip. Or roller coaster, I'm not even sure any longer. Damn this show is good. |
