This episode really cleared everything up. Togo's disabilities and her meeting Yuuki was all in the plans of Taishi.

At this point I'm praying that they don't screw it all up by having Yuuna power up with the power of nakama and suddenly it's miracle time. A bleak ending would be so much more fitting.

As to why the gods decided to up and kill humanity, traditionally divinities are known for being very cruel and often fickle. I'm reminded of the gods in the Epic of Gilgamesh who decided to wipe out mankind in a massive flood (apart from this one guy) because humans were being too loud. Also, Nogi says, even the gods who sided with humanity won't just give their aid with no strings attached.


No. While I don't want a happily ever after ending, nor do I want a bleak ending. I would rather have an ending that leaves things on a good note. After all this suffering, I want an ending that leaves me satisfied, not sad.

Agreed. I can see why people are opposed to a Magical Happy Ever After Button, but a bleak ending would feel just as pointless, and it would be out of tone with the rest of the show. I'm hoping for an ending that's at worst bittersweet.

All the ED variants are nice, this Togo singing is so, alone, like becoming the enemy of all to liberate her friends, neo jesus batman!
Squids in the apocalyptic outer world reminds me of matrix so much. Who would become Neo, Yuna or Togo? It was mentioned Yuna has the highest aptitude, so a power awakening is possible.
Not sure if 'cleansing' meant destroy the tree world, or making the world reborn. I know 2 recent animes with this theme but they have quite a different context.

I thought it was more than a town. Fu spoke about other teams, and Karin came from somewhere.

Just for your information.
Taisha told Fu that Fu's team is just one of the other yuusha teams nationwide. But I'm sure it was a lie. The truth was that Taisha had managed to make only five (or possibley six) items in time so far. The four are assigned Fu's team and the fifth one was given to Karin after the their first two buttles. (Possibly Taisha kept the last one for Sonoko.)

Man that was one long recap in the beginning.

Anyway. Interesting turn of events. I can see why Togo wants to do that but I really don't know what she hopes to achieve with that. There are basically two outcomes. Either they lose their entire body fighting against that mass of Vertex or they die fighting against the Vertex. Those are the two possibilities unless it happens something totally weird and unexpected.

I really didn't expect this anime to get THAT serious >.> hope it ends well.

The many mysteries are revealed, making the narrative of this episode really sad and interesting at the same time.
Plot that has been able to manage his cards right, pleasant flashback at the beginning, they make me appreciate more the Characters.

There is so much foreshadowing that nothing really comes as a surprise... but this anime is doing a wonderful job meeting expectations.

It was obvious to me when they blanked out what was said... that their world was the illusion. Tougou is kinda freakin out about it though... good idea, let's just end it all... like that's gonna happen. (at least not yet, and this is magical-girl, love and friendship will save the day)

True nature of the world, eh? Well, it was interesting, this really surprised me and I didn't think anything can surprise me here.

First part about Tougo-san was good part too. Though it was a little convenient how she found out everything on her own.

Noooo! Tougoooouuu!!! Think about how Yuuna and the others would feel if you were the one sacrificed! So sad... but I guess that ending it all would be one of the only options to end all suffering, which would mean by having all suffering happen at once instead of spread out for eternity. But I really wonder how Taisha, or the other gods, will react to this act.

After watching this anime with headphones at a good volume, I've really come to appreciate the music that they out into this. It's really... gooder (better) than most that you'd hear. I'm not too sure what instruments they're using but it's really nice. If anyone can comment what instruments they are please do.

I swear, every time I watch the opening, they all look like gods. I would worship any day but knowing what they're going through all I can do now is sit back, watch, and hope.

FFF Subs are late, but well worth the ride.
I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you.

Tougo solidifying herself as best girl. I mean, we all knew that already since she's got the oppai and dat ass when she snipes.

We learned that Tougo was actually that Wasshi girl and had apparently been friends/fought alongside vegetable girl.

I like Tougo's decision, considering how they're fucked either way. Any big ass vertex they kill will be reborn, and the girls will keep fighting until they bloom and become vegetables too.
It's a vicious cycle...yet at the same time, it's finite, and ultimately a losing battle. The entire world is contained in that 1 tiny town. Heroes are rare. What the fuck is Taisha and the Tree going to do when all of the current heroes cant fight anymore, and no more heroes have been born? Literally zero defense then.

Soo...who's going to pull a Madoka and sacrifice her entire being to wipe out the vertex and possibly restore everyone's losses?

Indeed, Togo did the right choice by destroying the wall. At least, if they have to suffer no matter what then it's better if everything cease to exist.

HOLY SHIT! I can't believe this. When Togo walked through the barrier and saw the true world, my reaction was simply...."Wat". No way. Why does the best girl have to go through this? This ain't right.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

Tougou is still best girl.

Was not expecting the reveal of what the world was really like. I never thought about there being more to it than what we were told before.

Can't wait to see where this series will go with only 2 episodes left. I wonder how Tougou will fight her friends. And I guess her big plan to prevent further suffering by just killing literally everything.

Can't wait to read the light novel spin offs after I finish the series.

Woah. That's a lot in one episode...
While it was awesome to finally know the basics behind of all that has happened, I'm still pretty confused...

So basically, the apocalypse happened, so a bunch of gods came together to stitch a tiny piece of reality together so that a tiny amount of people could live on, but in order to do that, the gods needed girls to fight what caused the apocalypse (the vertexes), and also needed sacrifices from them.

That's what I gathered.
But, if it was just a false reality, what's the point in saving it? the worlds dead. I don't understand.

Anyways, I could have this totally wrong. I would appreciate other's input on this.

That was a twist, in all its twisted mindfucking way, that you could expect of a great twist!!!

Still, what Mimori is doing it is not right because the Divine Tree is the only thing betwen the last remains of humanity and HELL. We will see how this goes.

This time it's Togo's turn to completely lose it.

Though it seems she has some sort of plan.

I don't blame Tougou for wanting to destroy the world. She and the girls already went through enough hardship and the despair is still continuing.

Oh god, that's worse then what I expected. I had a feeling about how weird it is that we don't hear much about the world outside their city, but this isn't what I imagined it would be :'D

I can understand the Taisha people though... This is a horrible thing to do, but it's for the sake of their small world. It's just such a bad situation no matter how you look at it.

I'm hoping for a happy ending, but I fear that it might be a lame/cliché one :/

So the majority of the world is destroyed and what's left is surrounded by big ass walls (?) with a illusion barrier. Okay... so are all the adults in on this or something? How could just world ever exist without anyone bringing up "oh hey we can't travel anywhere because there is no where else."

Strong collective BRAINWASHING.

with the blessings of Shinju-sama.


This apocalyptic world is quite depressing. Only little lolis after knew the truth would be more concerned with "I WANT TO BE WITH MY BEST FRIEND FOREVER" than "My life has no meaning here".

Of course this ain't over yet. If you're lucky you end up like Sonoko still being able to think and speak.

Understandable that Togo lost it.
