THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
In terms of warfare, they animated the dogfight rather well imo in relation to the ongoing war conflict. In addition, news of Izetta's defeat spreads...which imo is used as a psychological weapon by Germania.

The White Witch and Germanian forces really picks up their strategy and launch their forces. Seems like they're engaging in all-out war with confidence. Pretty tense episode although the direction of the story is pretty predictable. At least Izetta survived and is recovering (nope, of course she didn't die). I feel bad for her though, she's just trying to help D:

Did Sieg really just pull that thing out of nowhere? No way, you can't just do that, writers. I hope, there's a good explanation for why he has the other half.

Well I was wondering how they would survive, Looks like they made it after all. They even saved Izetta, Well Played Elystadt. Pretty Good episode overall.

The Germanian empire was devastating though, All that destruction. :(
That one shot of the tanks traversing over the trench with the camera under the trench was so similar to a scene from the BF1 trailer.
They even wrecked havoc in Londenion and are threatening the world with the power of Sophie. AU Hitler sees World Domination in eyes.
Seems off that AU Hitler would remove Berckmann from the military operations, Was his success so great that even the emperor intimidated by it? :o

The Magic Stone gathering scene was pretty cool, Looks like these stones completely sap the land of magic when used.

The alternate ending to the White Witches's story is now confirmed, Muller's family are tied into the legend.
It was sad to see Fine considering leaving the country and giving up. :(

Muller offers Izetta the chance to make a comback using the other half of the Magic Stone, More Death Flags for Izetta now.
I suspect the use of these Magic Stones will eventually sap the world of all magic leading to the death of the witch legacy and magic.

So it's another backstory for this episode. About witch Sophie's traitorous act for meddling with human and stole the Philosopher Magic stone.
Also Berkman is now getting kicked out mostly for purpose from the platoon. Could it be because that his real interest is for Fine and Izetta struggle against him and there's none of it for now?

This episode was a bit boring. Not much happened save for some exposition and a display of Germania's might. I don't know if I'm looking forward to the next episode.

I do like that the series is sticking with relatable war themes now. I wish they'd done this earlier.

I wonder if people watching this show would read a history book and think WW2 had bad writing :)? This guy is doing a much better job than Hitler ever did in handling a war of this scale. Pressure the western side of Europe, work to get them to give up, and then focus on Russia. Sure he has some nice tools Hitler never had, but he's doing it a lot better regardless. I'm not sure what anyone on his side has to complain about right now. They are winning spectacularly and even after Sophie dies they've got such a commanding edge over the rest of the world that...they really could take it over.

The Germanian now wants to take over the world. Distributing Izetta's defeat is smart. Some of Elystadt's soldiers managed to save her and now Muller has the other half of the Magic Stone. Looks like Izetta has another chance to save Elystadt.

See, Sophie, when you see the old soldier dying in the rubble and you kill him, that's called kicking the dog. That's all you gotta do to be hated. No need to laugh as well.

Do people drunk with power ever actually laugh like that? It sounds so insincere.

Nice to get an answer about Russia, after people were wondering about it last week.

So they want to make peace with the allies first. Then attacking that other country (I guess that is the country which in the real world would be russia) then going back to attack the USA.

But that wont happen. Expecting some other witch battle with both witches getting killed and and allied forces striking back (or this happening while Germania is at war with Russia and then allies + Russia attacking together when the Germanian witch is removed).

Muller ... I knew it. First I thought his ancestors were from that inquisition. And he probably got a hold of the 2nd half of the stone with that connection. I guess he found it with that old diary he found later. (If he found that earlier he would have used it so they would not have list.)

It was a pretty solid episode. That first charging scene was brilliant, that OST to go with it was enjoyable. Some discussion on what Germania next move is not bad. Sophia is a bit generic though I don't see any reason to hate her or like her(outside of her character design)

The last scene was expected. She is going to get a power boost and win yadadada though much better executed than previous cliches that I actually don't mind at all.

Well Hitler did pressure Britain to make peace(which is more likely than surrendering) after fall of France. Britain was pretty adamant on not giving up. Hitler's invasion plan on Britain would of never worked. In fact unless there is some really genius plan, I doubt Germany could of ever done Britain in. Maybe starve them with a massive U-boat campaign? but that was very unlikely since Germany didn't produce enough U-boats and the British had a lot in developing counter-measures as evidence in the later years.

Hitler had nothing to pressure the West with outside of taking over mainland Europe.
Germania in the series have a magical nuke and science more advanced than modern day in terms of biology. Aerospace technology is at least 5 years more advanced due to use of V1s and many more advantages

Only when battle of Britain failed did Hitler shift his attention to the Soviet Union. It wasn't much of a two front war if you exclude North Africa since Mainland Europe is pretty much secured. It was plenty reasonable to shift focus since Britain and shown they won't give up.

He isn't anymore skilled than Hitler was in really anything(at least he isn't shown to be)
he simply has the assets to win. We all know he is going to lose though which puts him on a potentially even worse spot than Hitler's failure :/

That's exactly what I was thinking while watching this episode. Proper use of V1 rockets against Eylstadt, then used them in great numbers (and imbued with magic) to bring terror to Londonium. Proper plans for the war - defeat allies first, then Volga Federation and finally United States of Atalanta. And then Germania will rule the world :-)

Speaking about weapons, are Germanians creating a magic-equivalent of nuclear weapon ?

the guys who did is had a massive Boner for German military equipment. They've even brought in the VI which was basically the worlds first missile.

Operation Sealion (Hitler's planned invasion of Great Britain in 1940) would surely have been easier with a witch on his side.

I was thinknh also the same , I think we have more Clever And handsome hitter this time :),
I read somewhere that Germany was working on atomic bomb too but they didn't finish it.
I can't get why people complaining I know that this show has some problems but not that bad I'm enjoying it so far.

So many clones. That doesn't look good....

Considering the ending, I guess the possibility of a happy ending just grew. Not that I mind though, but I can see why some people would consider it an asspull. Maybe they'll explain.

It's the other way around. The stone has negative side effects on the witch who uses it. Izetta hasn't even recovered from her injuries. If she uses the stone, chances are she's gonna die.

I'm so glad that this show is finally starting to show Sophie's weakness. I knew her poorly made clone-body wouldn't last. Now here's to hoping that she just dies before she can do anything.

Still, I feel like it's a little too late to be bringing out that other magic stone. Sophie already won the first fight, and the Germanian empire's milked that win. If Izetta uses that now, she won't be evenly matched, since Sophie has superior technology after all this time.

I'm still baffled at Sophie's original logic: Izetta is a traitor for meddling in human war with magic. Sophie kinda had an excuse last time for fighting Izetta, but now she has no excuse, so she's a traitor too. She's obliterating other forces and directly affecting war. She's still as much a traitor as she was ages ago, in that same logic. Where's her self-hate and esteem issues? Where's her emotional problems that'll make her crumble because she's unstable?

Male advisor (Muller) giving Izetta the Red Stone with those shifty eyes tells us it's not good. Judging from his character tropes, the stone probably has disastrous side effects for Izetta (e.g. Why Sophie was dying, though that mightve just been because she's a clone).

Poor Berkman, pisses off the King by doing his job too well. Maybe he'll join the team? :) According to the captain, he's going to die in half a year anyway.

Well they did say at the beginning of the episode that the stone drains away the witch life force, hence why it's forbidden.

So Germany attacks London. They're in full form with Sophie on their side. Berkman has been discarded and now Otto will handle things himself. He has proposed a deal with the allies which is obviously favoring the Germans only. And Otto plans on going for Russia and then the world.

The Muller family was involved in the Witch's killing. They sold her out. Muller has some info Izetta doesn't have. And since Izetta wants to do something for Finè, she is willing to use the magic stone, which isn't going to end well. The stone drains the witch's life and in turn grants power in places where there's no magic by draining nearby places. If the last seconds of the opening sequence is anything to go by with, I'm seeing a bittersweet ending. Finè and her country might live but Izetta may not. It's going to be a battle between two witches with half a magic stone each. It's gonna be super tough for Izetta.

Of course. Fine is the only thing she cares and thinks about after all. Besides she doesn't value her own life so making a sacrifice is no problem, specially for the princess she worships. It's a pretty one-dimensional and pathetic characterization.

our boy Sieg Muller is so bloody depressed right now, he messed so many things up, knows that his family is a huge cause of this, and now is giving Izetta the stone which will make archduchess cry depending on if she dies, or has near death but happy ending experience.
