Nice fighting this episode. Is it just me or did it look like Tanya in the photo at the end? I'm probably just reading too much into it.


I actually thought the same thing. And if you recall from episode 1 it was said that her father had to leave her mother to fight the war.

And how should that be possible? In the first episode we have seen that she was a baby when she was left to the church/orphanage. And she said that she doesn't even know her father.

So how do you explain a picture with both parents and a girl clearly not at an infants age?

Damn it's already finished. This episode felt like it went really quickly.

Tanya does what she does best. That scene at the end was very funny.

Didn't expect this, but this episode's dogfights and strategies were even better than last episodes.
Tanya just had to go out there and play hero though, which whilst super badass, kinda pointed to her buying into her own invincibility a bit. Let's hope Being X doesn't decide to level the playing fields somehow with a direct rival or some means to nullify her somehow (expecting it to happen though). The way she leads and motivates her battalion is awesome and genius at the same time. I wonder which wing commander lost the bet though. XD

As for the girl in the picture what was probably his daughter.
I'm betting that was just to prove a point to indicate that this Colonel Sue will be opposed to killing a girl on the battlefield who somehow, as with almost every ranking soldier here, "is the same age as his daughter back home"? I feel like this is beginning to become a running gag here....
Ultimately I'm predicting his hesitation will be what Tanya uses to outmaneuver him, because he seems a smart enough opponent (specially given they actually named him to us).

Oh and I feel Tanya on second-hand smoke. Cannot stand that stuff.

It's about damn time the episode came out! I woke up a little before 8 am yesterday, and here I am just barely finishing the episode about 17 hours later. Anyway, this was probably one of my favorite episodes to be honest. There's just something about the way Tanya and her battalion interact with each other that really amuses me and I can't get enough of it. Being X just seems to get more small minded every time he makes an appearance. I mean come on now, he's practically orchestrating WW1 in this timeline by influencing the decisions of the other major powers JUST to satisfy some twisted vendetta against Tanya.

More badassery from Tanya and her battalion on the battlefield. She continues to impress every episode.

Lol at that secondhand smoke thing at the end, how unlucky.

Great episode. Really loving how this series is developing the war and everyone's responses to it. Funny how Tanya's forecasts of how this 'world war' will develop are coming to fruition even faster than she expected (and her actions are inadvertently helping it along).

Echo everyone else's thoughts regarding Being X - Tanya casually walking away from the corpse only to have everything freeze and the corpse animate itself was just creepy as hell. Though it is also kind of fun to see even Tanya lose her composure for once.

Oh yes, and LOL at the 'secondhand smoke' at the end. :D

Sadly the subs at the smoking moment was a bit incorrect. Tanya was not pointing to 'secondhand smoke' actually. ‘分煙’ as in Bun'en, its more like non-smoking area. Tanya wanted to ask for that.

Seems another threat of Being X... How miserable Tanya acts more devilish when it comes to him... :D
Either her existence... is above crucial yet worthless...

Actually the subs are wrong a lot of time in this episode. CR often have a few mistakes so it's nothing new, but there was a lot more than usual in this one.

This is this series at its lowest so far. More bullshit OP MC showing off, surface level politics, and the Being X appearance that seems completely pointless. Nice visuals, but the smoking segment in the end is the only interesting part of this episode.

in this episode based on the restless behavior the Being X showed..I just felt that may b the entire world is just simulation for Tanya(as an avatar)...as it feels ridiculous to plunge the entire world into war just to teach a person to show respect to his creators..

I don't think it's an issue for him. I mean he designed people specifically to die, reincarnate, and, I guess go to heaven at the end? Or something. The bottom line is - he would't have done so if he considered death as something bad. So it's not morally wrong for him to kill people. From his perspective it may be even good - if you're a good man and die earlier you'll go to heaven sooner, right?

Ridiculous? Not for a god.

"I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent."

We know that being-X is a little overreactive so just replace ninety-nine with ninety-nine millions. The rest stays the same.

probably my fav episode thus far. i got chills when god was talking through the dead man's body. the music in this series is astonishing.

i gotta say YS keeps ranking up in my eyes. For example, everyone is praising AO NO exorcist for not rushing things and having a slow build up so that we can explore everything about the characters, but YS managed to do this while mixing action sequences and not letting the boil be boring or too slow, i honestly thought i'd be a mediocre series but idk i'm enjoying it lots..

Being X is the definition of petty.

"This guy doesn't like me eh? Well lets make his life miserable and force him to kill until he DOES believe in me. Oh, wait, hes enjoying this? Okay okay fine. LETS THROW 3 MORE COUNTRIES AT HIM. You know what, fuck it. The entire god damned planet now wants him dead."

It is more likely it is Sasha the adjutant in the photo. Question is if she is a spy or a unfortunate person, and if they meet in battle will it come down to Tanya or her father "shoot him" choice. Plot armor Tanya will survive but there is a chance she might get shot and become more twisted and Sasha become a major antagonist, or she shoots her father and Sasha become twisted, or this act by Sasha changes our MC's way of viewing Sasha if only a little.

That last sequence reminded of some old family pictures I've just seen. My uncle as a 6 month baby is sitting on my grandmothers lap, yet every single adult around them is seen smoking or with an ashtray in front of them. Different times, huh?

Just caught up with it and HOLY CRAP, it's the first "new" show that I've liked in months, if not years. Still, I have a bad feeling about this. I haven't read the LNs, but I'm guessing what the ending will be and it's not looking good; I'd just say what is it, but I don't want to accidentally guess it correctly and end up dropping major spoilers.
