| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, when you can't get into a castle, resort to force and siege it. I also feel bad for Kazuya since he's pretty much left with no choice but to open the doors. Not surprising how events developed like this seeing how there were disagreements among the higher ups. This is like one of thos episodes where Kazuya had to make hard choices even at great risks. |
 |
| Honestly the animators went all out with making the corrupt nobles as ugly as possible. So far i am enjoying the battle scenes tho it's some of the things from the novel where left out not that i blame them for it. Things are looking good so i am looking forward to next week. |
| Yeah, who needs canons when you have elves. Imagine waiting for gates to be opened ... because some dude who you don't even know is telling you he will open them. How stupid one can be. But i guess one is required to be a numbskull for mc-kun to be able to marry your daughter (i did not read the LN/manga, but im 100% sure it will be like that). |
 |
| This war indeed is the most interesting to come out of this show, being taken from the LN/manga. Sizeable kingdoms like Castor's and Carmine's feel threatened from even smaller armies like Kazuya's, they will win by numbers, but Kazuya's Elfreiden makes up in firepower. It's a do-or-die affiair of Excel and Kazuya vs. Castor and Carmine's forces. To pry against smaller dukes hoping for them to gain entry by opening the gate, the enemy knows no literacy behind the strategy and plan to make it work. The best trickery of Kazuya's is one sole battleship: the Battlehip Albert to storm Castor's Red Dragon City. Worse case, they should've known not to trifle with Kazuya, because it was a fake, and who knows what Kazuya has in mind for more trickery up his sleeve to lead the opposing forces astray. Nonetheless, I'm excited for more since this show has somehow also strayed away from the LN a few times more than not in the past. |

| With each episode, I'm getting more and more invested in Kazuya's strategies and how smoothly he handles every situation even tho it's a battle situation. His kingdom is stuck between two rocks and all he can do is juggle with them simultaneously. Kazuya is a 5Head. That battleship was just a trap to lure them in where he himself is just focusing on the castle where one of the Dukes is present. What's gonna happen next? Kazuya is such a great king and strategist. |

| A civil war and a foreign invasion huh tough odds for Souma this time round. A instant fortress was a pretty neat idea. The dark elves reinforcements sure was timely. Thats some crazy accuracy though. Using Excel as a means to bolster resistance among the enemies advance corridor was a smart move on Souma's part. It's pretty comedic seeing the leader of an invading army wait in front of his army though. But using his sole battleship as a means to threaten Vargas's fortress was quite the gutsy move. Carla's low level attack though really was daring. Overall a pretty decent ep that while featuring some good action via the siege of the fortress also had some pretty good intrigue via Souma's machinations. Featuring the air force's attack before showing what happened prior really served to add some tension to that scene and keep us guessing to their true allegiance. Can't wait till next week now. |

| Wow! This anime is really getting better and better with each episode huh. |
 |
| The war arc is going pretty good, really like the strategy plays. Numbers don't matter if you have an intillegent strategist/leader. Souma will pull through this with only 10k. War arcs are usually animated with tons of CGI but the animation is pretty good so far. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Wait, what happened, I had to recheck the previous episode because I thought I missed something. That's the biggest temporal ellipse I've seen in a long time |
 |
| The war begins and Souma is dominating them. I want to see more brutality, he needs to completely crush those fools. |
 |
| This is truly epic right now, and they're underestimating Souma, they'll gonna regret soon for sure, the corrupted nobles are so ridiculous xD |
 |
| 40,000 vs. 10,000. It's indeed an unfair battle, but with good management and strategy there are possibilities, and if Souma is the king, it's a guaranteed victory xd What a play from Souma at the end hahah. He's got some balls, I mean, not long ago he lived in a world where you get cancelled on Twitter for anything and now look at him, no fear of the attackers hsaha |
| Finally reaching this part of the story.. I hope the anime can fully adapt and show how Souma control the whole civil and nation war. I gotta pick up and read the novel again from where i left off after the anime ends. |
| Way too much skipping between this episode and the last, for a moment I thought I had missed an episode here... Still doing a great enough job at adapting the LN, though, I guess there just wasn't enough time to show every step that led to building the fort or to Amidonia arriving at Altromura in one season. The former was not that much of a loss, the latter however included one of Souma's more interesting tricks so I do miss seeing that... |
 |
| Souma actually used his living poltergeist against his opponent by controlling a battle ship. They underestimated him big time there. I am mostly curious to know what range that spell has. |
 |
| Souma is out here pulling a Bobby Fischer and sacrificing his queen (the flagship of his navy, not his literal queen Liscia) just to take back control of the air force. |
CeddyyBearr said: Souma actually used his living poltergeist against his opponent by controlling a battle ship. They underestimated him big time there. I am mostly curious to know what range that spell has. A lot of details were cut on numerous aspects (budget and cramming 2 LN volumes into a 13-ep cour, I suppose), but according to the LN: |
| Alright finally they reach an interesting part of the story. But, ugh, i can't fuckin believe that Invader from the neighboring nation named Amidonia dare to wait that shit long, only for the sake of a little gold dust and some sweet talk from those great lord of those stronghold city. I mean, his son had a point, but not that long, ffs. Because you will get a hit hard consequence with that decision. Oh man. But, forget about them already. The interesting part here when they created a fort right in front of the face of Carmine's force in the limited time offered. Looks like from the off screen Tomoe ability helped the situations very well done. Idk about that other two-by-four system Souma got. But, looks like its works out. So, in the other side, the lion has been figure out that Souma wasn't there, but to the red dragon city. Its just too late. Because its happen, one night before, when suddenly a one simple platoon of wyvern ride appeared on the battlefield. Its the reinforcement they need. The previous battleship explanations finally made its sense here, when unexpectedly the flag battleship, Albert, from the Lagoon city came in far to the inland of the red dragon city tugged by the rhinosaurus and lots of heavy wheels. The plan using that vehicle ironically works out to lured the airforces guard out of the city, while Souma and the rest of the battleship soldiers capturing the city and Vargas silently. Awkward and silly at one times. But honestly this manage to be quite interesting with how things turn out. |

| it was awesome episode but unfortunately they skipped some parts of preparation for war but still it was good i really liked the anti air rocket idea and cant wait to see when souma put his feet on that lion face monkey but i agree with everyone that this show deserve to get 20-24 episode cant wait for next season |
| Great episode! I really hope we get a season 2. Souma out here with the easy to build Ikea forts. Who needs cannons when you have elves. I hope Souma's army makes it in time, would be a shame for jiggle Walter Excel to die. Castor pretty much already accepts Souma, but he ain't going down without a fight, I can respect that, foolish, but I can respect it. That's a great way to use living poltergeist, Souma's really making good use of his ability, rip to Albert though. Fuck that cliffhanger, really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| finally a great and awesome episode after a few boring episode !! |
| This felt like I missed an episode and the pacing of this one was all over the place. It's a bit of a shame because I like the wyvern fight. |
| This should have been a 24 episode anime cause man they crammed a lot into one episode. In the manga and LN it shows how he slows down invading armies and comes up with reinforcements like the rhinos for transportation or hiring adventures, among other stuff. I really do recommend the manga. It's 100% better than this anime. I hear LN is even better and I will restarting that soon I loved the story so much. |
 |
| Souma's strategies are becoming more and more interesting! I am interested in seeing what will happen at the strong hold with Walter being there as well. Aw man Hal and Kaede are really cute together. You could tell she wants him to protect her at all costs. So Sweet. Damn Souma up to something at the Red Dragon estate! I am super excited for next weeks episode. |

| Nice strategies from Kazuya. Nice slideshows for the battles too xD |
 |
| Shitty nobles are always useless. Things seem to be going well for Kazuya though I wonder what Carmine is planning. |
 |
| Indeed, Souma played in his palm. Miraculous Red Dragon City. Very funny. |
| The animation is better than what I expected. Ig they put their budget near the end of the series. |
| Crap the civil war is just starting but the foreigners are already here! Duchess Excel is using all that gold, and Weist's kowtowing ability for her dilatory tactics. How will they defend Altomura? Vargas might have already turned to Souma's side after he checkmated him on his own castle so the air units mightl be assaulting Carmine rather than assisting him? |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| So the country is busy fighting a civil war while being invaded by a foreign army at the same time; an invasion that no-one is talking about, by the way. Kind of like an elephant in a small room that nobody mentions is there. Historically civil wars have followed wars with foreign adversaries. That's the general rule. For both to happen at the same time is unique and, quite frankly, stupid*. This show started strong but unfortunately its plot has been weakening with each episode :/ *Unless Duke Georg Carmine set a trap on Amidania's king and lured him and his army to that city on purpose. It would be smart to be the one to defeat them there rather than Souma, and he would also take the credit for doing so. He would make a name for himself and go down in history as a patriot and hero, which is really what he wants. That would be smart writing which would make far more sense than fighting a civil war with foreign invaders on their soil. I wonder if that's what the Duke meant when he asked that Wolf-man if everything was ready. |

| I appreciate the zoom-in on Sur’s muscles. Omg he’s so cute. Castor’s smirk ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° I dead ass thought Nojima Kenji’s character would at least suspect or question something???? He was too cautious for their own good. Or maybe I expected too much lol |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| this show is just great all around, it maybe isn't super artsy or 2deep4me but it's thoughtful, interesting, fun, enjoyment is a 10/10 |
 |
| that's 1hell of a decoy souma lol |

| Slapping wheels on a battleship and using that as decoy, quite the 5head move by king Souma. |
 |
| Amazing tactics. Souma's dark magic coming into play like that was awesome. Tactics ftw. |
