Ah I knew, Zero still misses Mercenary.

Poor Albus, still trapped like a bird in a cage and being put on public dislay...
Seems this episode explores some storytelling about false executions of witches.

Pretty tense episode as I had expected. I'm surprised how well Mercenary works with another beast though.

Wolf guy is glorious, i like him. I didn't know what role he played before but now we know. He's a womanizer and just goes with the flow and happened to meet Sorena and her granddaughter.

He carried the whole episode for me (also the reveal which was obvious though after a while).

More of Wolf guy and Mercenary interactions please.

It's sad to see Zero miss Mercenary. So Albus is Sorena's granddaughter. I can't say I didn't' see that coming. Got to see some backstory for Hordem. He's been protecting Sorena's granddaughter. Thirteen is really good at manipulating people.

Judging from the "slightly-new" Visual of the OP, I guess mr. Dog face is gonna join the Trio?
So Mercenary and mr. dog face are having some Beast fallen chat about their past in the forest. But the time is running near for Albus to make his decision, whether to get alongside Thirteen or get burned in stake. And his answer leads mr. dog face and Mercenary back to the city to do the rescue.

Good episode.

Wolf Guy is actually not a bad guy, he's pretty cool in his own way. xD
As most people here were predicting, looks like Albus is indeed Sorena's granddaughter, what's more is that Sorena was probably setup by the guy who stole the grimoire in the first place.

I liked how Wolf and Mercenary worked together to save Albus, the action was pretty decent. Them carriage brawls. xD

Can someone please confirm whether Albus is Male or Female ... I'm using HS and while Albus is revealed as Sorena's Granddaughter, Both Mercenary and Wolf (?) still refer to Albus as 'him" sometimes ... is this mis-translation ?

Now all that remains is for him to realize about Zeros little magical spell on him; and to of course go get the person he misses back and deal with thirteen / him ; kinda figued albus was a girl by the reactions showed especially when zero and merc were sleeping together. Glad to see its settled now lol

So is Albus actually male or female? They keep swapping between "he" and "she" so much that it's just downright confusing really. That aside, I don't particularly like this revelation about Albus' importance considering how inept and pointless he feels as a character, but it is an interesting development nonetheless, although how things go from here isn't really clear.

At first I didn't really like the wolf guy but this episode made me see him in an entirely new and pleasant light and now I can't help myself to like a lot and hopefully he doesn't die at the end of all this

13 continues to annoy me though and I want him dead even more now

The biggest twist of the episode was knowing wolf guy was a bishie when he was human.
I wonder if Albus is male or female. "She" is refered as Sorena's granddaughter though the episode, but later both Mercenary and Wolf still refer to "her" as "boy" after they escaped from Plasta.

I ddin't saw so much problem with the design at the execution scene, actually i liked a lot lol

Also i liked of Mr. Wolf-san joining to the protagonists party by now. I didn't like him at firt but with his episode i saw him with other eyes. But the real questions is: Albus genre, Albus is a girl or a boy. I never was so confused with a character genre before as i am with Albus.

Hmmm, I'm really suspicious of Thirteen at this point. I kinda wonder if Thirteen is actually the mysterious "Him" we keep hearing about or, is actually working with "Him" in secret. Do not trust in the slightest. Hope Zero pulls out the eldritch horror card and toasts him ;P

Albus is pretty mature for his her age, his little speech wasn't half bad.

I also liked the chemistry between Youhei and the wolf guy, the way he was called aniki made it look like they were old friends. Quite surprising that the wolf was turned into a beastfallen on his own will.

Thirteen showed his skills at manipulating people again, he also knows about the spell Zero put on Youhei. Let's see if the assassins he's sending are a threat or just fodder.

Lol @ the soldier who got blown away by the tree xD

No surprises that Zero & Mercenary still need each other, hopefully they can reunite soon, maybe the next episode because of the title?

I was able to put 2 and 2 together after I saw the blonde hair of Sorena's granddaughter and Hordem saying that Zero smelt like her.

I don't dislike Hordem anymore after this episode, he really wanted to help Sorena and was looking after Albus.

So the theory of Albus being Sorena's granddaughter has been confirmed. Looks like the wolf dude might join their group at this point, since he's so fixated on protecting Albus. Kind of odd though, seeing as how just a few episodes ago he had 3 slaves....

I also thought it was interesting how Thirteen showed concern for Zero when he interfered when the guard attacked Mercenary. I wonder if he actually cares about her or if he doesn't want her to be harmed because he has bigger plans that involve her....

Exciting episode. Loved it. Seems like everything is connecting together. All makes sense now, great series. Wonder if we get to see the cute tavern girl again.
The wolf is now in their group based on the opening. Despite how he is somewhat of a nice guy relating to Sorena and Albus, he is still play around with woman -_- like those slave girls.

I dunno man. if wolf-kun is really looking for Albus then what does that have to do with keeping slaves? Also Sorena is his moral figure according to his backstory, what happened to his morality and he started keeping slaves? I thought the whole point of wanting to be a wolf is to turn his back from his degenerate life as a human, so why go back to his degenerate life when he's now a wolf?

in the end he is a bastard through and through

And Albus is revealed to be a girl. And an important character on top of that.

Wolf guy sure is inconsistent. Found the whole backstory a bit forced. Wish he wasn't so corrupt before and I wouldn't mind.

13-ban is so annoying. Want to know more about his backstory.

This episode illustrates alot of what I find difficult about this series.

Dog-face's two faces, he volunteers to help Sorena, but enslaves innocents, wants to kill for revenge over some fur, then is actually on a big mission to save Albus.
Sorena, who is old, kind, wise, and seriously thinks her unjust death will solve something (anything?).
The mercenary, who has been betrayed repeatedly on the battlefield, but trusts dog-face when he pulls this story completely against all previous encounters with him.
He can also run in a straight line at full speed through a crowd of humans, whilst not getting any closer to his goal.
Albus, who inherited the flame-proof gene of his/her grandmother, a teenager(?) that can endure the immense pain of being burnt at the stake (a torturous and graphic way to publicly illustrate the folly of sin) without a sound, and encourages peace-loving witches to strike down and kill a kingdom official in public (so that they can live in harmony).
The mob, whose age old hatred of witches only started witch hunts a few years ago etc.

Emiya-kun needs to talk to 13th about what assassins do.

Also, this episode lacked the Zero x Mercenary banter.

He is a bastard, just he does at least have a good side to him.

Yeah he owned slaves and tried to have merc murdered which shows he isn't a morally sound person.

Hell before this he was a spoiled rich kid who had a harem of women.
