| All the Saya moments made up for no Claudia(as usual). Also at least we got to see more of Ayato's sister in this episode - the flashback, I mean. MagicalMahou said: They literally just ripped out the only thing in the series that could have made Ayato INTERESTING. His entire struggle to overcome his sister and his goal of finding her, literally the only character development he could ever get, was blatantly dismissed by the writer's "tell don't show" harem bullshit. And what the fuck was that flashback? Doesn't that negate almost every aspect of Ayato's story and could have made Saya a bit more bearable and fleshed out had it appeared earlier? Because from what I can see here, Saya should have been Ayato's partner and the main girl of the series. She and Ayato have a history, have great chemistry, work better as a team that put up against a supposed Urban Legend and have a better foundation for their relationship than Pinky-dipshit ever did (saw her nakes). Hell, he even EMOTED thanks to her. This series is so full of shit, I don't even know why I still put up with watching this. Yep. Most of the other female characters are much better than Julis. Why is she the main female character, again? |
GoldenDevilGamer said: Saya was pretty awesome in this episode :D I didn't expect the fight to go on for another episode. That's pretty cool since the fight was pretty fun. Their opponent is stronger than I thought they'll be. 4/5 Good episode. Looking for some nice action next episode. |

| I'm glad they showed us more backstory with Haruka and Saya. Two of the most important people in Ayato's life. With Saya and Julis he finally got over his fear and insecurity. I have no idea what Ayato means by "awakened" but perhaps he's extended his power's limits? There's still so much about his seal we don't understand. With that said, the stage does seem set up to have the twins win so next episode will have to be a major turn around. |

It's meant to be chinese martial art. Kaede is the best superninja though.AmnesiA-chan said: LOl my first reaction also. Nin Nin!Lmao. Seems like those twins are from Naruto. |

| all of the girls in this anime should learn their lessons and they won't even win on those twins even for the guy this ep is just like Waterloo |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| Saya best girl of this anime. Too bad that the fight is split in two part ... |
| The best moment of the episode for me was the flashback and how strong his sister was. Overall it really feels so mediocre (maybe even less), don't know, the fights don't have any appeal at all. And i don't want to talk about them using some "cheap" tactics, just let it slide and whatever. Still waiting for at least something decent to happen for it to be somehow worth finishing. |

Ryuutobi said: That's their Plan A (best case scenario). Their Plan B was Ayato's hidden second lux. They knew from the match records that the twin love to play around with their losing opponent before finishing them, so they aimed for a surprise attack during that very moment. Though, it turned out that the twin was more cautious than they thought. I meant the entire plan in general. Their "plan B" sucked just as much. Even their plan in the previous battle was better thought out. I really don't understand how they even came up with such a weak plan even after their previous enemy told them that cheap tricks won't work on the twins. |
| Saya's voice is so cuteeeeeeee omg xD Well that fight epic! The strategy that those twins used to weaken and almost defeat Julis & Ayato is very smart, but they are cowards. I still loved the fight! Ayato will enable his OP MODE 2?xD Next episode will be epic! We need Claudia back. |

| Why... Why this series gets another season instead of Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry? |
| The first half with Saya was just beautfiul I love the relationship that she has with Ayato as well as that flashback of them fighting with his sister...Man everything during the first half made me smile In regards to the second half, the twins didn't disappoint at all and I love how they've been playing Ayato and Julis like a fiddle all of this time Can't wait to see what happens next but I have a feeling that Ayato just figured out how to break his seal lol |
| Saya too cute this episode lol |

Nothing wrong with expressing your opinion or disliking a show, but why force yourself to sit through something you don't enjoy? The second cour of said show no less? If I hated the show this much I wouldn't have bothered starting the second cour honestly. Not trying to attack, just genuinely curious here. CrotakuShinobi said: I dont wanna sound negative but I dont see how they can win against the twins Yeah, I don't either. The twins are probably still going to lose, but I imagine that the reasoning for it is going to be somewhat illogical. Can't really be helped here, because the main characters were kind of written into a wall. It'd be hard to come up with a reasonable explanation for how they could get out of this situation. |
| Things are starting to shape up for me, I liek! *moew* |
 |
| The twins takedown should be glorious. |
 |
| Those twin surely are annoying! I'm curious about the team with the adult dude with a kid... 4/5. |
 |
| Saya was adorable! Those twins are stronger than I expected |
 |
| I found the battle to be quite laughable... that's not a good thing. |
  |
| I honestly would prefer for the twins to win at this point. They were physically weaker so they planned the fight out and came up with tons of clever strategies to win. Our protagonists knew exactly what the twins were going to do, and didn't come up with any sort of counter-strategy whatsoever. Why should I root for the guys who were either too lazy or too stupid to come up with decent plans of their own? What really pisses me off is that I know what's going to happen. Ayato's going to "power up" and overcome the twins through sheer might without ever doing anything to deserve the win. I sincerely hope the next episode proves me wrong... |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Twins are obviously better in terms of skill but knowing anime, they'll lose anyway. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Omg... Saya is sooo cute! Damn! |
 |
| How Saya ambushed Ayato was funny. Interesting flashback and nice motivation from Saya. The fight so far is okay. To see Ayato and Julis wrecking those arrogant twins, will be pretty satisfying. I can't stand their fighting style and their arrogance. It's important to put them in their place. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| Miiko and her nice oppai are back. Dat finger. For the third time...Where the fuck is my waifu Claudia? Dat preview! Claudia looking so fine. My heart can't take it anymore. Please come back! I need you, Claudia! It's your time now! The universe does indeed revolve around Ayato and you. Dat Engrish. Another boring episode proving once again that Claudia is best girl. Miiko been better than all the other girls this season so far. |

| 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). |
| I actually enjoyed the twins fighting, they fight with brains and strike where it hurts while keeping themselves safe. Of course the protagonist can get hit by 1000 explosions and will still be able to fight with full power, so they have no chance of winning anyway. |
| Loved the flashback with Saya, I didn't realize how far back they went As for the fight with the twins, there's a lot of standing around talking, he should be getting his power back soon with all that yammering |
| Good fight. The opponents are quite pesky and smart. I wonder how they'll beat them. Hopefully, it's an acceptable asspull or better yet a really good strategy I wouldn't expect. |
