Good episode.

Alice is OP, Even burning her and sealing her doesn't work. She's practically immortal when it comes to battle. The only way to beat her would be to make sure she's last in the candy competition.
Mary went quite insane during and after her battle with Alice.

Kano's past was pretty sad and even kind of disturbing. Sucks that everyone she met used her Mom's actions to judge her. It's also really sucky that she was surrounded by perverts. In fact I couldn't believe how that kid in school just put his shoe up her skirt, I mean that was like elementary school right? What the hell? That new stepfather was also a sleazy pervert.

I'm interested in the reason as to why Alice seems to be sticking with Snow White.
Top Speed still best girl. xD


With a life like that thats how porn stars get made.

As far as Alice sticking to Snow White I bet she helped Alice before Alice became a magical girl. I wonder if there is a way to bring back the girls (and boy) who died?

Mary vs Alice fight was insane. It was nice to see Mary went crazy in fighting against her. She shotgun her until to a bloody pulp, burn her, and then put her into a drum with cement and threw her into the ocean and she's still alive. It was funny. Mary was so pissed off.

I kinda find it funny Snow White running away from Alice. And when she thought she lost her, Alice was in front.

Kano's past is definitely sad. She keeps getting bullied by brats who don't mind their own business. One thing I like her (besides being cute) is she puts up a fight and not letting them talk all over her. Even her fifth step father gets kicked in the face for being such a pervert. Which he deserved. The mom's must have bad taste or badluck in men for getting a husband for the 5th time. It was a right decision to leave the house.

I honestly can't predict who's going to die next episode even thought Kano's backstory was shown. Pretty much anyone can die.

Great episode.

Question/Theory: For those of you who have seen DBZ- basically Hardgore Alice is like Majin Buu? Like, you can't destroy him unless you blast every particle into oblivion? That's the vibe I got from it.

Ripple's surrounded by shitty people. Felt satisfying when she hit all of them though, especially when she started beating the shit outta that elementary brat.

Ruler selected her group based on her need for pawns; even if she's no older than she appears in her dream, Swim Swim is the only one fit for command once she's out of the way. Tama is way too shy to take the position and the twins are the twins. Her backstabbing Ruler the way she did would help establish the pecking order.
. Ruler is way more interesting as a leader because she is the weakest character in combat ability. She keeps her ability secret and puts up a facade of strength to manipulate her minions. Swim Swim so far has no capabilities as a leader and she talks like a parrot. This is show is a great example what happens when you kill off your best characters, the entire show becomes far less interesting and it becomes a drudge to watch. If you ever going to use children as prodigies or leaders they need to earn their position to accomplish suspension of disbelief. Swim Swim doesn't have any of this traits and it only makes it worse when the twin angels are suppose to be college aged and act like toddlers. This show is terrible, it tries new ideas and fails to execute them along with ripping off battle royale without executing the concepts that made it good.

I don't think that Alice is OP: she can easily be killed by getting rid of her candies once she is disposed. She does take a time to recover and she lacks any special skill to avoid getting crushed in the first place. I mean, she is not the weakest nor something like that, she can easily win an endurance play for sure and trading can save her from the candy oblivion, but that is it. Alternatively she can be killed on human form (you can waste enough from her mana to get to that point), though she is a though nut to crack in endurance games.

By the way I don't think that Swim Swim is a small child or something like that. She is just a calm girl and she is far more intelligent and pragmatical that she might appear at first glance and I think all her team realized that, hence why they are following her.

Nocturnal said:
Snow White keeps annoying me, though. I mean, I can understand she is in shock after seeing Alice murder Robot-chan but she must have realized by now that it saved her life. Not to mention Alice gave up some of her lifespan to buy that rabbit foot item only to give it to her, at the very least Snow White should hear her out.


With all honestly it is reasonable that Snow White is just plain scared considering she has absolutely no power to defend herself nor item (the Rabbit's Foot is unreliable) and for the large part her unique chance to survive is to not being targeted in the first place. She seen her killing another gal in a quite horrific way and from her point of view there is no way to know if she can do the same to her. Of course some of her doubts will be eased now Alice told her that the Rabbit's Foot was for her, and considering they will be working together from now on they have a chance to meet up better.

Actually, if you didn't realize yet, you should look at the personality of all the girls chosen to be magical girl in there. Maybe you would conclude something from the kind of thing influencing the choice. Like, having clearly an abnormal state of mind seems to be the norm, and the normal ones the exceptions. From this, it wouldn't be hard to conclude that those two angels are not really your run-of-the-mill college students.


When is this explored in the main story? The show goes at lightning speed and none of the characters develop organically. I have read the ending and it doesn't get better, the big reveal of this arc is unbelievable and stupid. You can read better stuff in fan fiction.

Zefyris said:

Also, it's less that they accept being under the order of someone younger than they (like it was the case for ruler) are simply following the strongest, as well as do not really care as long as that "boss" isn't especially pushy (contrary to how was ruler). They are clearly spending their time fooling around and following only when strength matters. Ie, life or death situation.
Also they have indeed, absolutely NO WAY to know SwimSwim's age and NO, she doesn't sounds so young.

She sounds like an anime child in the anime, the voice actor pitches her voice with Swim Swim are similar to how they voice characters in the industry that is in elementary or middle school. If they bother pitching their voice for the role, the characters in the story should recognize it and act accordingly.

Zefyris said:

Also, FYI, yes, the transformation affecting the personality is something that happens for some magical girls in this verse. It's not especially important info, we get that far later in the novel and even then it's not important. But the transformation affecting partially the twins is definitely a possibility.

So, never will be explained in the anime.

I really enjoyed the Calamity Mary x Hardgore Alice fight scene. Calamity really went to town, too bad her efforts were in vain.
It must be unfair to have someone who is practically immortal in the games. I wonder what Hardgore Alice wants with Snow White?

Death flags have been raised, will be interesting to see who will die next episode?

I have a feeling it'll be either Sister Nana/Winter Prison and I'm not sure if itd be Ripple or Calamity Mary, probably the fight scene I'm most looking forward to.

That fight between Calamity Mary and Hardgore Alice was pretty awesome! Damn, Alice's ability is terrifying and too OP haha though I'm going to assume that it's possible to kill her in her human form. Calamity Mary is very unstable as a character.

I really want to know what Alice's relationship to Snow White is. Looks like Sister Nana or Winterprison might die in the next episode since Swim-Swim is obviously up to no good.

I feel really bad for Ripple/Kano after this episode since we got to see her backstory. All that bullying, harassment, and her perverted step father must have been hard to go through. That elementary shithead of a kid got what he deserved for sticking his foot up Kano's skirt and I'm glad Kano decided to retaliate back.

Anyways, looking forward to next week! This is becoming one of my favorite shows this season. :)

so much flashbacks aka death flags this episode.

Who was Kano? if that was really Ripple then oh my. But seriously, if I was the stepdad and I get to choose between Kano or her old hag of a mom, then it's Kano in a heartbeat. And no, I'm not a deadbeat alcoholic I have a career of my own. People around me however told me it's politically incorrect to have someone like Kano as your girlfriend because, I dunno, pedo? I went offtopic so fast but I'm triggered that this episode in particular is once again painting men as evil rapists, with their toxic masculinity, pedophilia, patriarchy and other shit. Yeah I'm a pedo you got a problem with that? I don't like the idea of being a betacuck provider to OLD HAGS that only wants BMW (bitch, moan and whine).

rant aside, I think its far more evil for ripple to survive this mahou shoujo of death than to die. instead of stopping her real life torture, she gets to live through her hellish days. For Alice, she can kill Snow without breaking a sweat if she so wished it, but didn't. Add that she even gave her Rabbit's Foot can only mean she got help from Snow from episodes back and wanted to meet her again. Such an adorable kowai-dere (scary + dere).

If they bother pitching their voice for the role, the characters in the story should recognize it and act accordingly.


So, never will be explained in the anime.

The most drastic example of personality change with transformation is Fukuroi Marika, which is a Jokers character, and the first clear example that the transformations does affect the mind/self consciousness level is in Restart/Episode through Cherna Mouse (so arc 2's sides stories). THere's also a clear one in Limited (arc 3). That's not important anyway.

And no, it won't, because it's not important. That's also why I answered you here despite it not being anime information at this point, because that's not a spoiler. Same goes with the "personality/situation problem" for lots of them. That's extremely obvious on the long run, and that should be obvious to you as well by now, I mean you already have a sample of 16 of them. How many sounds normal to you?
It is confirmed later in the novels by a magical girl, but that's besides the point. Calamity Mary, magicaloid 44, Ripple, Hardgore Alice, Sister Nana, Cramberry, Ruler, the twins, Tama, SwimSwim, the list goes on, they are all have pretty obvious abnormal personalities/circumstances. TopSpeed mentioned her past to be similarly quite bad too. Winterprison didn't become a magical girl a normal way (sister Nana's interference). What are we left with? SnowWhite and La Pucelle?


No, swimswim doesn't. She sounds like a calm and collected person with an (almost abnormal) plain voice. Children don't have a plain voice like that.
And the voice actor is an adult, too. Considering how she looks like, that's even more missleading.


And last thing, thje ending is perfectly fine. There is no inconsistency/ illogical plot point so far in 9 volumes of mahoiku. That may not be the greatest novel out there ( it definitely isn't~), but it's consistent.

Basically a show is terrible because it killed your most liked characters? i see, I see. Nice opinion, man. BTW ruler is nowhere near a top 20 of "most interesting character" in those novels.

Why is everyone saying Ripple will die? The opening implies that she still has to team up with Snow White, so that's a huge plot armour.
Based on the last scene, I say that Sister Nana and Winterprison are in danger of dying. And Top Speed maybe, just because she says that she has to survive for those six months.

This episode was pretty brutal. Hardgore Alice's immortality is insane, so much so that Calamity Mary went a bit psycho during their fight. Her desperate attempts to kill her was brutal and would normally kill most enemies of her strength, but the immortality of Alice has kept her alive again, despite partially sinking to the bottom of the ocean.

Still, it didn't explain why Alice is very fixated on Snow White. Buying the rabbit's foot item to give to Snow White is recklessly generous though, but there must be a more important reason as to why Alice is around Snow White like a rash.

For Ripple/Kano, her backstory was really saddening. Due to her Mother's relationship problems, she had to put up with a lot of stick from her fellow classmates. The way that brat was calling her a slut and sticking his shoe up her skirt was rather sickening. No surprise she beat the shit out of him. =/

To add to her misery, her mother's new boyfriend or husband was a disgusting man, always trying to watch her stripping out of her uniform or peeking up her skirt. Thank goodness he got a nice kick to the face.

I did notice in the opening credits where Snow White holds out her hand by the moon and someone else grabs hold of it. It looks like Ripple's arm to me. I wonder if that has any importance to the show or not...

Still, with the timing of her past, the death flag for her has risen quite high. Same goes for Sister Nana as well. Looking forward to next week and seeing who survives and who dies once more.

Idk whether this anime sucks or is decent. Hardgore Alice is cool but she's probably going to die eventually because they're making her seem like she cant be killed...good luck with that one.

Swimswim used to be cool but her fascination with Ruler after she killed her is just annoying now, like why are you out to get people? The twins suck and the Dog girl is useless.

I just think this anime tries too hard. =/

Also stop showing characters backstories...its basically a death flag.

The witch probably has cancer or something and she only has 6 months to live anyway, so she probably doesn't wanna die early...it my theory.

I don't know what's the thing with the six months but I woludn't be that relaxed. Finally someone (Ripple) that doesn't trust that easy, I mean, they're killing each other and I don't know why Top Speed want Ripple to go with Mary wtf.

If we are looking at this arc as a stand alone, Ruler has the most interesting character traits as a cardboard character. The other characters are also cardboard, but the difference is Ruler had potential to be a more interesting character. The author basically wrote a bad story and developed his characters in future stories/side stories instead of actually showing it in his main story. Swim Swim as a character basically follows Ruler's advice and has broken powers. How is that interesting? Betrayal without interesting characterization makes a bad story. The author doesn't understand what makes the death game genre appealing; its about the characters in the death game and the politics behind the creation and/or playing of the game. This one tries to focus on a lot of characters and fails to develop any of them into interesting characters. The reveal behind the game like SAO is stupid and unbelievable that it ruins the suspension of disbelief.

Did anyone noticed that the series went gorier and bloodier the moment Hardgore Alice appeared? We can say the series has became... hardcore.

But seriously, poor Alice, being destroyed, ripped and burned of all those ways and still being able to regenerate. If she can feel pain while she regenerates, that must hurt a lot.
I doubt she is a bad person (or at least, is not a menace for Snow White) for the moment though, since she saved Koyuki and is not hostile towards her.

Calamity Mary went fucking insane, I fear for Ripple and Top Speed (especially the later, who is still raising death flags). I doubt Ripple would die in the next episode considering she has been protrayed as the co-protagonist.
And poor Ripple too, her past sucked a lot. I noticed her character has growing on me a bit since the beginning, hope she ends surviving. Gotta love my edgy girls.

I don't predict anything good for Nana or Winterprison the next episode. Swim Swim is highly unpredictable, and I'm sure she will attack them.

Well, isn't Calamity Mary thorough! Not really happy with the way she went mental in the course of a single episode though.

Why Nana and Winterprision trust that easy in Alice, it seems that she's not a bad person but I wouldn't trust in her that easy and leaving Snowhite alone with her, what are they thinking?


I don't know, I guess it depends who really runs the show when it comes to their two. It seems that Winteprison is the more sensible, but from what I see, she doesn't do much to interrupt Nana's lovefest. Or at least we are not really shown that.
But while I am on the topic and everybody already started giving their picks: I think Winterprison will die thanks to Swim Swim and Nana commits suicide or goes crazy in result. I'm pretty sure Ripple is safe because of poster girl armor, while Calamity Mary is closer to kick the bucket. And I also think that Top Speed is pregnant. If nothing else would keep me watching, at least it would be prediciting whose death flag gets torn up first.

Urgh, every "tch" of Ripple's is forgiven after that creepy past. Those beat-ups were mighty satisfying.

Good episode as always
It was interesting to see the battle between Calamity Mary who has some impressive firepower and Hardgore Alice who can regenerate.
That fight though was good.

Snow white is still trying to come to terms then her best friend is dead
and now that the game has become a death game of sorts

La pucelle's death though was so sudden and brutal
that a lot of people including Sister Nana and her partner
are still in shock and mourning

Well Winterprison is pretty perceptive
Something is definitely happening behind the scenes with Favs little project
God i hope that these two would survive this game

Lol Hardgore Alice is more than a match for Calamity Mary
like fighting a zombie right eh Mary lol
the fight scene here was pretty well done

man Calamity Mary really deserves her nickname
shes a bloody psycho

Hmm so was that Ripples backstory then
man she had it tough with parents like that
not to mention step fathers like that

its nice that sister Nana is still trying to find a peaceful solution
to the game though
at this point though the only wild card here is Rina Hidaka's character
Hardgore Alice
just which side is she on i wonder

Wow Alice moves fast doesn't she lol
she's as enigmatic as always

Lol Top speed and Ripple observing the fountain for trouble
and Ripples argument on why they were there
While sister Nana is the voice of reason Top speed is more like the glue
that holds the witches together

Lol Ripple and Top speed have such a good relationship
To think that Ripple is younger than Top speed though

hmm what would Mary want with Ripple i wonder
and i wonder what will happen to Top speed in 6 months
the plot thickens
and it looks like swim swim is planning to ambush sister Nana next episode

I really hope that Sister Nana and Winterprison don't die next episode though
as Sister Nana is one of my favourite characters in this. She's voiced by my fourth fav seiyuu Saori Hayami after all who is doing a great job here.
