Hiling is such a great character, who would have thought this after her initial introduction in episode 1....Dorsche is great as well.

Have high hopes for Daida, who knows what an awesome character he'll become

I miss Bojji, XD

but this episode was very good... Hiling and Daida scene, trying to find each other, was so well made... not to mention the fight... honestly, wouldn't be surprised if they killed Dorshe, or even Hiling (I was tense during the fight, because when they shown Miranjo "recruiting" the monsters, there's 4... and only 3 were attacking... was waiting for a 4th to appear after he defeated the first 3, XD )

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.

What I really love on this show is they give backstory to every characters! It's not all about Bojji only.
I feel sad for Hiling.. she's really a loving mother. I thought Hiling and Daida or Bosse is the villain but now, I don't know anymore.

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.

what i like about this so far is that there are quite definitely villains in this anime but there's yet to be an antagonist which makes it interesting cos we can see something big being pieced up together but we don't know what the final product is gonna be.

another fighting scene with beautiful choreography and animation. if you're not hyped every episode den we are watching two completely different anime

This episode was great. I'm almost certain Bosse himself can not deal of the magic mirror for some reason And is playing a role in front of her, the fact that he told Dorshe to taking Hiling and leaving to To keep them alive reinforces this possibility.

A well-written and well-directed episode. We got to see another flashback featuring Queen Hiling, and it's just so sweet how she put a lot of efforts into learning sign language to connect with Bojji. The last part gave me goosebumps, Daida finally experienced the world his brother lives in, but I felt really sorry for his current state right now.
I love K-On, and so should you.

Man, seeing Bosse and Miranjo dance around was unbearable. And I am so done with her chuckling, it's getting on my nerves.

But holy shit the scene with Hiling being able to hear her son cry out in desperation straight-up moved me to my core. That was really well executed, both in terms of acting and how real it felt! Hiling might be my fav from now on, she won't have any of the bs she's being sold and will do anything for her son(s).

Also Daida's realization at the very end, where he asks himself if that is how Bojji feels all the time -- definitely intriguing.

The series is doing much better right now than I expected. Waiting for more!

So fucking good episode with one big animation error. How did director overlook animator's drawing Hilling with chin like Domas and even longer nose than usual, when she was walking to the throne room.

Dorshe is a rather OP dude. He managed to take out three powerful hell-monsters which can kill giants though he almost died in the process. Each individual piece of his armor appeared to weigh a ton, which is why he was so slow. He is built for 'slow defence' when armored but is very agile and fast when he removes it.

I think 'the task' Bosse mentioned in Dorshe's flashback scene was to have Dorshe actually protect Hiling from the claws of the mirror witch and her demon and the question Bosse asked Dorshe in the current day ("will you choose me or Hilling"?) was not to tell him to let the monsters kill Hilling but to test him once again.

Bosse apparently wants to stop the mirror witch and her demon but he is probably powerless to do it on his own. Hilling is apparently a second sacrificial lamb in exchange for Bosse's power or -most likely, due to the timing- his resurrection in the body of his second son. Sorry, she is the third one, I forgot Daida.

How vain, shameless, shallow and power-hungry can a person be to agree to sacrifice two sons and one or two wives (we still do not know how his first wife died) merely for.. power? And did he regret his actions now (in his new body) or was he trying -as it appears he did- to eat his cake and have it too right from the start? Bosse is a truly pathetic, repulsive, vomit-inducing character.. As repugnant as Hyakkimaru's father in Dororo..

So, let's go for the predictions :

- Bosse made a vow to Miranjo that, in exchange for the access to the Demon's powers, he would get rid of Hilling and make her Queen someday.

- In order to avoid anything Miranjo could attempt in order to get rid of Hilling, he posted Dorshe as her Bodyguard : The most powerful of his minions.

- A few years later, Bosse dies, Miranjo tries to ressurect him so he can fulfil his vow and make her Queen. Afraid of what Miranjo would do if he just confronted her, he played along with her plan.

- When Dorshe beat the 3 Dogs of Hell (forgot their name), Bosse knew Miranjo would try to do something in the instant, so he asked her to Dance, knowing that possessing that Doll would dry her out of her magic.

- Miranjo then goes into the Gate of the Underworld and my guess is that Domas will arrive and try to close it so that she's stuck there for a while.

- Finally, in case Miranjo comes back and Domas fails, he sent Hilling away.

---------

That's my predictions, and the best for last :

- I think he's keeping Daida's body because he wants to see how far Bojji went with his training (probably in EP 11 or 12 will they fight), and will then release Daida's body. He doesn't want to stay alive like this, possessing Daida.. he's just trying to protect his sons & Kingdom.

Think you're entirely wrong.
Bosse established the country AFTER they made a deal with demon. Not before.

This anime started with so much premise, but the story went to the most cliche route it could have gone. A king who makes a deal with a demon. Typical anime BS.

What a show!

What I want/think will happen is the King fighting vs some evil guy/force or some calamity, even the Demon he made the pact with, maybe thats the reason he prepared his return, to return the strength Bojji should have and maybe do something about the Witch who looks like is loyal(and in love) to him but doesnt care about everything else.

Dorshe confirmed the manliest dude in the show. What a badass.

So... it seems Bosse will be playing the long game here. Sucks for Daida but the isolation might be good for him.

Another fantastic episode in terms of character building. Hiling continues to be an amazing character (and my personal favorite) and man, Yuuki Kaji sure went far and beyond with his voice-acting this time. Truly impressive stuff.

queen has some trouble managing her anger / frustrations sometimes but they're bsll fot valid reasons. that scene where she saw bojji bringing the cake she gave to his mom fuckkking hell. love the hilling-bojji relationship scenes btw, shes just such a nice character. the part where she was really trying to learn sign language, getting visibly angry because it didnt work with bojji but then getting herself together because she saw the mair being scared GODD I LOVE HER. and her going frantic over daida this ep? broke meeee. who the fuck wouldnt tho, your dead husband suddenly came back and possessed your kid who you can hear screaming for help but you dont know where he even is

mirror lady is .. very confusing. whats her relationship with bosse? who is she? why is she doing all this ??? is she possibly the old queen? bojji's mom?? AHH this damn show making me turn think more than i usually

Nowhere does it say that anime has to be Japanese. There are plenty of Chinese and Korean anime on this site. Why are they anime and Arcane is not?

Damn that was another hard to watch scene, seeing the Queen try her hardest to find where Daida was. She's become one of my favorite characters, it really goes to show that first impressions really don't reveal the entire truth.

Also Daida running in that endless sea of darkness is like one of my biggest fears lol

I love the contrast the episode showed between Diada and his brother. I gotta admit, despite Diada's seemingly unpleasant out nature, he does have a brain and it isn't completely delusional.

The sudden twist about Bosse and body switching was a surprise but handled very well!

Dorshe is extremely strong, even without shields, armor and being alone he managed to beat the 3 enemies that appeared.
It was very visible in the last few episodes that Hiling is a good person, she cares too much about her son and Bojji, to the point of challenging King Bosse.
Maybe Daida comes to understand Bojji after this problem that happened to him, since at the end of the episode he wonders if his brother's world was like the place he was in.

Hilling is really good, I liked the backstory moments with Boji, but Miranjo is really weird, I wonder what's really Bosse's relationship with her and why he's acting suspicious with her, it's like he hopes for Boji to deliver them and beat Miranjo, anyway that was a tense episode, I can't wait to hear the revelations at some point

Daida has annoyed me since the first episode, so I’m pretty much fine with him being absent. The mirror gave us a huge plot twist, which was pretty interesting. I always thought the mirror was on Daida’s side, not King Bosse. I think Daida realized how mean he has been when he said “is this how brother feels”, which I find interesting. Will he become nice???? Very good cliffhanger

Queen Hilling seems to have cared for prince Bojji very deeply until Daida was born. I wonder what happened to make her go against prince Bojji. I did think that Dorshe and Hilling’s flashback was very sweet and wholesome.

I CANT WAIT FOR BOJJI AND KAGE TO COME BACK!! I MISS THEM

What an episode! I wonder if King Bosse is in love with Miranjo or it's some spell? Since we still don't have an answer why he would want to kill his own wife lmao

Also, the guy protecting Hilling was the true MVP of this episode!
And it seems like there is a chance that Daida might come back in the future.

daidas what a great character development, like his always been kind it just the mirrors fault, so it's nice to see more of that side now, and how he is finally understanding how bojji felt all his life.. I personally wanted to see how their interaction will be in the future..
