| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I find it almost kinda funny how Shido is trying to live his school life like normal after the recent events. It sure didn't take long for the girls (well kids now) to show up at his school. > Papa Yup, let the misunderstandings begin. At they still retain their personalities lol. Natsumi is such a brat in her kid form. I think she looks great after her makeover. Curious to see what they'll do with Origami next. |
 |
| No more cringey "Boom" and "Pow", and no more rainbow stuff, that's nice. And these Loli scenes were too dangerous more than the DEM are plotting... |
 |
| ah, his loli harem disbanded too fast. but whatever, since he got a new one in his squad. loli getto daze anyways, that was a pretty stupid resolution of her arc, but what more can you expect from the harem MC. and now Tobiichi is gonna go against him... again? |
 |
| Natsumi looks so good after a makeover but Yoshino is still better. All the other spirits as lolis was hilarious as all hell. I also kinda cringed a little when Natsumi turned Ellen into a loli during her fight against Ellen, I knew that was not going to help matters at all. |
 |
| Hilarious episode! All the Spirits in their loli forms were a treat to watch and lol @ the papa jokes. Shidou taking off his wig to convince Natsumi though, xD. Good thing Natsumi’s transformation went well though but will Natsumi admit it is the question. Meanwhile, Ellen Mathers and Westcott are up to something for sure. Origami seems to be winded up in their advancements too, things are surely heading for an interesting heated-battle. Looks like the other party, the armless folks thanks to Westcott, have decided to resort to violence and destruction so I’m looking to seeing how that goes. So far, this Season has been far better than Season 2 and a little better than Season 1 even, to me anyway, so here’s to hoping it keeps this up! |

| Decent episode. Bit cringey but atleast there was one or two funny scenes in this. Natsumi looks good after the makeover! |
| The lolis were amusing but the fight scene, even if short, was plain awful. Leave it to JC to make an battle scene consisting of still shots and dragging objects. |
| That was quite enjoyable, kinda wish to see more age regressed DAL girls action, they are so adorable, same goes for Natsumi, her true form is super adorable too, i think i'm not a fan of them making her long curly hair shorter, straight and into twintails though. Smug loli Origami not skipping a chance to call herself Shido's child in her situtation lol and Shido carrying all of them at once looked pretty great Natsumi should have run police sirens once she created "Shido's Personal Zoo" too mess him up and give him even more stress. Shido takes a lot of pride in Shiori at this point lol, also his affected reaction when he got called a pervert was great. Damn Ellen not showing any mercy as usual, even when she is turned small catching her off guard, as expected. And now she recruited Origami for DEM. Guess Origami is about to receive a power up from DEM, wonder if they make her go through the same procedure like Mana(wish they'd give Mana more screentime), anyway looking forward to Origami and her new CR Unit from the opening and i'm even more hyped for the next spirit |

| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| You thought it was me, Shiori, but it was me, Shido! Hilarious episode as always, the lolis part was great and of course Origami was going to take advantage, Chiyogami Itsuka best loli. That personal zoo can be dangerously illegal in many ways...... I would like to see it again with the normal versions of the girls tho ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Not gonna lie, I like more the fake version of Natsumi but as Shido said, her true form also has its charm, besides, it's never bad to have one more loli in the harem. Looks like something serious's coming... I'm scared for Origami. L-Mo-Reppin said: Also the tobiichi situation should have already been cleared for the most part from the previous seasons bc she knows the spirit that killed her parents. No, we don't know yet. It is true that Efreet caused the fire but there was another spirit behind all that. |

| Sheesh whoever thought someone who followed you to school, and now Natsumi being all bratty as usual. But tried to transform her. XD |
| Origamis arc gonna be hype, Meanwhile while Natsumis arc hits the conclusion, I think some people lowkey missed the fact that they plan on dropping 8 satelites out of orbit onto the city. Not sure how science works like that but that will probably be a factor for sure next episode. Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. |

| Good episode for Natsumi's development, but I'm more intrigued by the Origami subplot here. I have to confess that I'm surprised she'd so easily agree to work with Ellen for DEM Industries, but she obviously isn't over her parents' deaths at all, and what happened at the end of season 1 was obviously just delaying that. Also, yeah, they just kinda casually put in the whole "let's drop 8 satellites on a city thing", didn't they? |
| The FBI was very close to arresting Shidou this episode. Now, that Natsumi's arc is done. We can get to the Origami arc. I'm not a LN reader. But, I do know that a certain something happens to Origami this arc and I am excited for it. |
| Thought that was okay. Don't know if it was really rushed or not, but felt like it. How they rushed to help Natsumi just seemed came out of nowhere and her mood change also rather strange. Origami agreeing instantly also looks not right unless it's something like her plan. While i really liked 2 previous episodes this one felt in completely different pacing. Some jokes feel so outdated, might've been better to change/"upgrade" a bit. |

| There is never a dull moment at school. Natsumi doesn't know how dangerous Wescott & Ellen actually are, no wonder she was rattled by her power. They may be children but they are still spirit and have the power to fight. Hopefully Natsumi feels a little better and will start to like everyone after that treament. I am very interested to know why they want Origami on their side, guess I will just have to wait for the future episode to learn more. |

| and i thought Miku in her arc was annoying. latter half of the episode was funny tho. still missing Kurumi tho |
| Oh so Natsumi has an inferiority complex cu'z of what she truly looks like, a loli....So Origami is now with Dem Industries, so does that make her Shidou's enemy now???? |
| Natsumi looks better with her long hair, why did they have to cut it down and also why doesn't she have confidence i herself, she's cute in her loli form |
| Loli's, Loli's everywhere! I have to say they were really adorable, but glad to see everyone back to what they are meant to be like. Natsumi is actually quite adorable in her true form, but the transformation was quite nice. So Origami is going to pose a threat now to Shido and his spirit harem! |
 |
| Dem loli harem is gone, it was amazing until it lasted. I think Natsumi's real form looks adorable as well, she should be more confident as it was pointed out. I knew Origami's case wasn't really solved in the previous seasons but the way she jumped from "I won't work for an organization that brings danger to Shido" to "k." was pretty absurd lol. |
| I loled hard when I saw all them lolies trapped in a cage, in bunny suits, and a sign saying Shido personal zoo! CeddyyBearr said: Loli's, Loli's everywhere! I have to say they were really adorable, but glad to see everyone back to what they are meant to be like. Natsumi is actually quite adorable in her true form, but the transformation was quite nice. So Origami is going to pose a threat now to Shido and his spirit harem! Origami will be the focus of the last 6 episodes, and this is just the prologue for the ride that them will be. The LN neither lost too much time on that either, but there were a few more details and funny scenes there. Natsumi is much cute in the LN though, the studios could have improved her art design a bit more, but whatever, still she Hoppy said: Natsumi looks so good after a makeover but Yoshino is still better. All the other spirits as lolis was hilarious as all hell. she is still more cute than Yoshino!  Later volumes really consolidate her charm also, the way she tries her hardest is so adorable~~ |

Yandere-Dragon said: I actually liked season 1&2, but dislike this season so far.After the loss of my feelings for the series on season 2, it feels like Date A Live has finally regained its original charm that made me enjoy season 1 so much. I'm so glad. Is it just me or someone else prefers natsumis adult form over the loli too. Like don't get me wrong as a loli she is super cute and all, but damn she's hot af in the other one.

zerotwosdarling said: It's not just you. I also thought her hair was better before they cut, braided, curled and tied it.

I knew Origami's case wasn't really solved in the previous seasons but the way she jumped from "I won't work for an organization that brings danger to Shido" to "k." was pretty absurd lol. As for Origami accepting Ellen's offer... it makes sense. It's an opportunity to find out if there's any truth to Shido's claim that while Kotori caused the fire, someone else killed Origami's parents. She doesn't like DEM for attempting to capture Shido in the battle over Tenguu square, but the opportunity Ellen is offering is too valuable for Origami to turn down. I guess Origami's CR unit/wiring suit in the opening being the same style as Ellen's makes sense now. |

| My nether regions enjoyed this episode |
  |
| lol Shiori revealing that "he's a man!" and Natsumis reaction hahahaha |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| It turned into Date A Loli... XD |
| Holy shit, this might be the first unironically great arc in DAL. The author and the animation studio really took their time with Natsumi and made her feel more of a threat than the previous "girls of the week", which is super nice. |
| Yet these hands will never hold anything. Thus I pray, Unlimited Waifu Works!  |
| Thread Cleaned Please try to keep the discussion around the episode. Be sure to use spoiler tags if you mention future episodes or the source material. |
| anyone knows the name of the OST at the end when elen was talking on the phone? |

| It's loli Natsumi makeover time! ^^ She's really cute in loli mode, but her grown-up mode is sexier, still, i like both. And in the ending parts, we also got a glimpse of the possible introduction of Origami Arc, a sign that it's getting close, really looking forward to that one for sure. |
 |
| Origami never skips a tease~ Now she's scouted by the bad guys? |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Natsumi makeover in this episode, and Origmai joining hands with DEM, I'm curious on what happens next. |

I really thought Natsumi would react better to Shiori's reveal. Perhaps Shido got the punchline wrong. xD Yandere-Dragon said: Pretty sure the BDs for season 2 have more than an episode's worth of extra runtime added in various places.zerotwosdarling said: I actually liked season 1&2, but dislike this season so far. In fairness, I watched season 2 when it aired (not sure when you watched), the tv air had some content cuts. |
