THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
FINALLY, Seira, Raizel and Frankenstein shows up to lay waste on the remnants of DA-5, with the latter showing some good effort (Takeo vs. Frankenstein) and another becoming totally outmatched and outclassed (Crans vs. Raizel).

Takeo's symphatetic self, through all the crimes of the past, and Tao almost being Crans's meal, just like how Shark was a tool. Clearly the rest must've known by now that Raizel's OP powers are DAMN CLEAR of the indication that he's the Noblesse, but the fact of the matter to question who Raizel is, it's just...odd.

A good thing that Takeo is fine, and both he and Tao joining the reigns of the usual dinnertime between the rest of the crew. Their affiliation with the Union isn't quite over yet, as Takeo being fooled to think that his sister was still around and doing their bidding, and even for M-21, Tao's research was one and the same: like an evil-branded cult, all records are disposed of, and their fight for infomation all being a cat-and-mouse chase.

In the end, M-21's compassion to let Takeo and Tao stay with them, it's the same as from episodes before. He may be both selfish and selfless, but that's the way he is.

What an end to the DA-5 arc. And also, DAYUM Raizel, you and your ramen again, never fails to make me chuckle.

Raizel vs Crants has my vote for squash match of the season

Finally, this anime truly has picked up from its rough first 4 episodes. The animation looks great and there's finally a great pay-off from the "meh" events that led up to it. Also, Raizel's enthusiasm for ramen is just hilarious lmao, hope it's an ongoing joke for future episodes.

I wasn't expecting the battles to end this episode, let alone only half-way through. Seira, Frankenstein, and Raizel are all overpowered and their fights were more like beat-downs than actual fights. I would have preferred more weight be added to the conflicts and I feel like the entire build up of the DA-5 was really to just give us two more additions to the main cast. A leader is supposed to be the most interesting member, not the least interesting. And Cranz is easily the least interesting character revealed so far.

Still not sure of where everything is heading. So maybe the next arc will provide more light on that issue.

It would have made more sense narratively for Takeo to have been told about his "sister" during the battle with Cranz, since then there could have been emotional weight tied to Cranz, but the way it was done here seemed mishandled. No emotional turmoil at all.

Raizel definitely had the most screen-time this episode than he has ever had before, and he even has interesting discussions and we get to know more of his personality. Knew it would happen eventually.

So as an end to an arc, it was pretty anticlimactic but at least the Railzel and his friends are slightly better characterized.

We finally got to see Raizel in action.

Frankenstein sort of struggled against Takeo at first though not when he got more serious. I wonder why Raizel ordered Frankenstein to seal his powers.

So Takeo and Tao will live with Raizel and the others.

Definitely the best episode yet, this was packed full of action and badass Rai moments. Loved seeing him take out Cras. Testament to how strong he really was that Rai had to use so much power.

I’m glad Takeo and Tao have a place to call home now too. Wasn’t expecting the twist with Takio’s sister, can’t imagine the devastation he must’ve felt in that situation.

Looking forward to seeing how Seira and her brother react to Rai now.

Noblesse continues being the best WEBTOON adaptation imo.

Rai was really cool in this episode, finally got to see him release some of his power. It's good that they're taking in those members that had been abused by the Union. Feel bad for Takio though, fighting for a sister that didn't exist. At least they get to eat ramen together now.

This was a fairly good episode not gonna lie..
a good fight is a good fight.. but a beatdown by a MC is always welcome and especially when they made us wait this long..

Holy so much packed in to one single episode!

Raizel's and Frankenstein's powers are sick and M-21 hidden power should be a cool one that I'm looking forward to seeing in action. Well Krantz got his ass kicked, he didn't stand a chance lol.

Now the house has opened up it's arms to two new people, Tao and Takeo.

Good episode :)

Ah, as expected, Tao and Takio has been saved due to their close relations to the kids that got kidnapped pretty hard before. However, the way they got to save kinda surprised me a bit. Takio versus Franken section was nice. Its good to see that kind of fast pace battles, and the last wish of Takio already changed Franken's mind before its too late. Then Tao, it was completely out of my mind a bit, because its from the eyeglasses boy wish. Well, as a nice man, ofc Rai will granted his wish without any problem later. Crans really couldn't believed with what he sees. After getting so much confidence, his battle against Raizel was a bit underwhelming. Lol. But its okay, since its must be easy for Rai to put him into that blood field and made him begone. Ah, Seira's action was too fast. I can't even fall to the feel. Oh well....

Then, the next section was the conclusion over these arc. Everyone were just fine. Its interesting to see Regis's perspective after that event. But, they post-poned it a bit. Well, Takio was actually didn't have a sister, and together with Tao decided to leave. But, M-21 wanted them to stay. As a nice guy, ofc Franken won't be too harsh to kicked them out. So, yeah, welcome then. Both of you, to the hilarious group you've ever had in your life!

That end, tho. Its became a boring schtick already. Please stop that!

Okay episode, i guess. The battle sequences were just fine without any great impact afterwards. Whats the deal in the rest of this season?

Best episode so far! The scene where Rai unleashed his powers against Crans was sick, but it seems he's not as all powerful as he appears. I hope we get to learn more about that as the anime continues.

I have to say, the reveal that Takio's sister never existed had me shook! My heart just broke for him. I'm so glad that he and Tao are sticking around because they've taken up residence in my heart ❤

Definitely the best episode of this season. I’m glad nothing of great importance has been skipped so far (yeah some characters were removed entirely but they weren’t that important to begin with and I don’t feel their absence) unlike ToG and GoH and that makes this the superior webtoon adaptation despite the surprisingly low score probably mainly caused by the anger and disappointment the previous two has brought. Of course it has been a very long time since I’ve read these chapters so my memory is blurry.

At least we don’t deal with the usual hype bandwagon thanks to that. They have Jujutsu Kaisen for that.

Noblesse isn’t revolutionary but it’s at least decent.

The action-packed episode everyone has probably been waiting for! One of the best episodes so far for sure, the fighting scenes were good and Rai was finally the main focus. He probably talked more in this one episode than in all the previous episodes combined lol. "Who gave you permission to speak?" That was awesome. Kinda sad they left out the line "I never allowed you to breathe either."

The second-half was a mix of sad and heartwarming scenes. Poor Takeo, but it's weird that they revealed the "sister" secret here since it's a reasonably important plot point later in the story. Are they gonna skip that whole mini arc? But it made me smile when Frankie called M-21 family. Their "family" size increased by two and it's only going to get even bigger here on out lol. I wonder what arc they're going to adapt next. If it's the one right after this I'm really excited for
to make his appearance.

Is this gonna be the pinnacle or is this just the beginning of the show coming nicely together?

So Raizel shows up to rescue M-21, Regis, and the kids by unleashing his full power as a Noblesse to defeat Crans in a very quick fashion. Meanwhile, Frankenstein makes quick work of Takeo by unleashing his power without Raizel's permission and Seira finally defeats Hammer. Frankenstein spares Takeo's life and allows him to recover at his house allong with M-21 and Tao. Tao later reveals to Takeo that he never had a sister and that The Union had planted false memories of her. Takeo and Tao decided to leave Frankenstein's house, but M-21 begged them to stay.

In this episode, Rai remembered why he is the MC and Frank was not left behind, both are very strong.

Seira one-hit KOed hammer. How strong is she?!

Frankenstein was ticked off because Takio mentioned planning to kill Rai, ever loyal companion. lol

Rai is always savage everytime he's facing enemies whose level are much lower than him, Crans is powerless. I want to see more of his power, but Frankenstein said that using his powers is not good for Rai.

Takio and Tao. New addition to the "family." Frankenstein's house will surely be more lively. Best episode so far!

I love just seeing Frankenstein fight and protect Rai. Raizel's blood field was also really nice to see again. I'm glad to see Frankenstein and Seira using their abilities and powers. I'm glad to see Tao and Takeo staying with them. I want more wholesome moments of Frankenstein and Raizel.

The battle scenes were kind of rushed and awkward.

It's a nice idea that each noblesse has his/her own and only concrete weapon. Though, as far as I remember, I only saw one soul weapon this time - Seira's death scythe.

By the way, why is the handsome guy called Frankenstein - a famous chimera's name? Did I overlook the explanation?

Alright I definitely did not see this whole sister plot twist coming, but I'm actually glad, so now Takeo don't have to go and fight against the Union. Also Rai's power with the whole levitating the blood stuff is so badass I love it. Regis' big fat crush on M-21 is starting to get boring, I hate how he always picks a fight with him. Kiss him or leave him idc but drop the tsundere act.

Show has been very consistent so far, which is great. It definitely probably is not as good as the webtoon but, it is good enough. And I am really enjoying it.

Damn, Seira fucking massacred hammer and Rai massacred Kranz. Takeo put up a good fight against Frankenstein but, the sister that was giving him strength to fight was fake. I wouldn't know what to feel if that were me. That's some fucked up shit.

I hope they didn't erase Manabu's and Tashiro's memories but, they most likely did. Well, it's for their own safety too. It's better for them to not get involved.

The post credit scenes always makes me laugh lmao, never change Rai.

I really enjoy Rai with Manabu and Yusuke moments. it shows that Vampire do have a soft spot for humans. It's bothering me quite a bit but i hope we can see more variations of body figures characters in the latest episode. I meant, i bet Rai, Frenken, M-21, Tao, Takio and Yusuke share the same clothes sizes. They can share their boxers and lend them with each other. lmao and i kinda curious how old is Regis? Didn't like vampires 100+ years or something? but his attitude and personality made me wonder if he's just a kid.

I was really scared Frakenstein was going to kill Takeo but luckily he didn't. It was also really sweet that Rai listened to his school "friends" and let Tao live. I'm also happy they all get to live together now. I hope things stay nice for a little while here but that's very doubtful.
