| Man, this episode is wild. The magic mirror, grim reaper scythe, and Netherworld all packaged into the episode. I'm also starting to like Daida more in this show. He may have an ego but he is also very tough and doesn't let anyone push him around. |

Kage to Boji at the beginning  |
| Of course Boji was not going to die there, it turns out Kage was with him the whole time, well that explains many things from the previous episode. That was some really creepy stuff there with King Bosse's body, this magic mirror is still very mysterious to me. And we got an explanation for why Domas was chosen for that mission, and he even chopped his own hand off lmao. Now that Bojji is literally in hell itself I wonder what will happen to him, overall another great episode can't wait for next week |
 |
| PHEW, Bojji GOT LUCKY from Kage saving his life to drop to a cliff, tucked away in his bag pouch. Such a nice reunion. BAWL... It's nice of Kage to be hiding in his bag, evading Bojji of every danger from Bebin's orders. That was certainly a blessing in disguise. Daida having to rebut Domas for removing Bojji in order to make him king, that was a stark contrast as to how he treated Bojji head-on (the brothers' love may not be there, but hidden from view with a clear conscience). The "Underworld" that's filled with poisonous gas, and Bojji getting saved by some tribal people to their colony, would be interesting of how they are treated there. For Daida, becoming king is but only the first step, and the Magic Mirror assists in helping him attain that power. The underground chamber that preserves monsters and King Bosse in ice, and the imagery of cutting his body in front of his eyes to create a secret potion, to the burning ashes of a monster to drink King Bosse's "holy blood", it's absurd to get power just like this. The Magic Mirror offers Daida the easy way out by drinking the elixir as opposed to gaining power by himself, and this is a turning point for Daida. Same for Hokuro who realized that Domas has been planning this from the start, and his courage plucks up to face Domas (even though he wouldn't win that easily). What a confounding episode, but the experience is getting better. |
 |
| This episode felt extremely fast. When one of the shadiest character is a good character. And the most knightly like is evil. I wouldn't doubt that Bojji mother is a beastmaster, and is frozen. And Bojji inherited her power, and the curse just got the giant part. Thinking about it, to have all those tools to make that goo, having a marrow extractor, a long mirrored tower to catch sunlight, an over specially made to decapitate, is a lot of work to build. |
 |
| Damn the episode unfolded really quickly. Props to Bebin, for there is no shortcut to success in life without serious consequences/risks - devil leaving Bosse's body is kinda self explanatory to that. Also, I like how the plot keeps on moving one step ahead with preparations for what is to happen in the near future. |

| That gruesome process for the potion gave me goosebumps, didn't expect them to show stuff like this. Daida further turning out to be prideful and, with the newest knowledge, well-taught by Bebin, that was a strong moment for me. Bojji and Kage reunion! Hokuro putting 1+1 together there real quick and standing up to Domas for his actions. Very interesting to see Domas use his arm as a shield. I believe he's already atoning in his own way for what he did. Cursed Bojji, it wouldn't be farfetched to think that the Devil inside Bosse is connected to this now. |

| Really love how well-written characters are in this anime Domas and Daida both surprised me in this episode, in a good way Also, did the Mirror really expect Daida to drink that smoothie after showing him how it was done ? There's a French insult thay says "Mange tes morts", meaning "Go eat your deads" Pretty sure the Mirror basically said Daida that |
Feels obvious but i did go back and check for this and yes, Domas is already repenting in his mind.   |
| Boji and Kage "reunion" was short, but touching. Inb4 we get another crybait thread, lmao. The Domas flashback further emphasized the dilemma he's in. That was a pretty good scene as well. And was that his dominant sword hand at the end? This episode and last episode he was holding his sword primarily with his left, during the spar he was using both hands, tho and in another image he was holding the sword in his right, so I'm not sure what to think. Perhaps he decided not to use his right/give up on it after he made up his mind to kill Boji for Daida. In any case, I guess he sacrificed his hand to punish himself and he won't be the same anymore after this. Let's see where his character goes from here. This is yet another element that reminds me of ASoIaF. Character development for Daida also continues to be engaging. I like the lore accompaying his plot line too. P.S. Was this the first time where the characters explicitly mentioned the curse? |

Kage is back!!!! :uncontrollable tears like Bojji: |
| That reunion between Bojji and Kage was everything TwT But there's a lot to unpack with this episode.....Firstly, Daida is a very interesting kid that I thought that I could have end up hating easily but the scene that he had with Domas and then later with the mirror (Btw, I think that the female hooded figure with the black hair in Apeas's flashback is the her) and her goons really made me second guess his character. The kid is pretty honourable and is smart in his own right too, so I respect him a lot for what he said to Domas and for not drinking the weird blood thing from the fucked up ritual (Pretty sure Bojji's mom is frozen in that room too) Secondly, I'm very curious to see why Bojji and Kage were sent to the king of the Underworld but I'm hella hyped because of what the king said about them both....Bojji being a giant with his power stolen....I really wonder if there will be a way for him to get his power back And lastly, kudos to everyone who predicted that Kage was the one who was watching over Bojji un Bebin's orders, as well as the poisoned meat thing, you guys are sharp as hell lol Overall another great episode for the clear anime of the season and I'm very excited to see what happens next on both fronts (Part of me wanted Daida to drink the blood just to see how strong he'd be up against Apeas, whose about to pull there too but I'm fine with this outcome....Just hoping that they both don't die) And P.S. To the guy that said to not write Domas out just yet....I see why you said that now....Domas intentionally allowed himself to lose his hand surely out of penance for what he did, but even so I still hate him for even going through with everything |

| Holy… this episode tho. I wasn’t expecting at all the hand amputation lol. I’m glad they are taking things a little more slowly. Definitely still fast, but slower than next week. Shit was crazy for Daida. Still don’t like him, but at least he knows who he wants to be, and actually seems quite capable himself. Also, Bojji is cursed! I knew it! His power to grow up was taken away! Things are getting really interesting. The characters are really well written. Each one of them feels very deep and not one dimensional. |
[spoiler] but isn’t that who we see trapped in the ice? |
| We thought that Daida was bad, but he's actually a really nice guy. The fact that he doesn't need to drink that... thing to make him omnipotent really does show that he doesn't just want the power, he wants to work hard to get there. I actually thought that he was going to drink it, but the show did a better turn and showed his humanity. He also wanted Domas to vote for Boji because he was his pupil, not him. Being king doesn't mean anything if you're betraying people. I'm pretty sure it's just because of his upbringing that he acts that way, and we'll eventually find out. The swordfight with Boji, for example, kind of proves that some of the royalties (in particular, Domas) sees him as superior to Boji and wants to keep that... most of the bad things don't actually happen because of Daida himself. He loses his temper a lot, but he's not a bad person. Domas is the asshole, for good or bad reasons, we don't know yet. |

| It was predictable that Boji would be saved by Kage right there. I'm glad for the happy reunion between Kage and Boji. It was heartwarming to see Kage giving Boji a new crown because Boji without a crown is not Boji. And seems like most of the people were right in the previous thread. Kage was ordered by Bebin to protect Boji and we got some flashbacks on Kage's POV. He has been there since the beginning and always protected him from anything. Kage knows someone that can make Boji stronger so instead of going up, they're going down to the ''Underworld'' filled with poisonous gas but saved by some knights. Of course, it's another weird-looking King but this one.. he's an interesting one, his powers and the aura he gives off and the amount of knowlegde he possesses is interesting. Boji is a giant whose strenght has been stolen and Kage is a cursed shadow. Two things that we have learnt in this episode and I need answers on them ASAP. On the other hand, Deida's process to become the strongest has failed. I mean, who in his right mind would drink something as disgusting as that? I'm glad that he declined it and ignored the Mirror's request. Seems like they will stop working together. The other one of the Big Four is arriving sooner or later. I forgot to mention the hidden chamber down there is dope as hell with the different kind of monsters. Also, isn't the Mirror frozen right there? Hokuro finally realized Domas' true intentions. He sets his mind straight and picks up all the courage that he has in himself and attacks Domas. Well, he managed to cut his hand half off but Domas is the one who finished the job in the end. He's feeling guilty for ''killing'' Boji. |

Yes, but I think it's just her body, I think her soul/mind is trapped in the mirror. |

| Finally the plot unfolds, little by little. Bojji being a cursed giant piqued my interest in particular. There was so much going on! |
| ☆ |
| This is my favourite episode so far. Bojji and kage's reunion was touching. Some wired shit was going one to take King's power lol. It's pretty much confirmed after this episode that the magical mirror is going to be one of the main antagonist of this series. Anyway I have to say Domas is a bad-ass character cut off his hand didn't expect that. |
lots have happened in this episode but the most striking to me is that Bojis Giant Power has been taken away by who? that Magic Mirror has taken it away isnt it? |

deg said: lots have happened in this episode but the most striking to me is that Bojis Giant Power has been taken away Ok, so that Boji and Kage are cursed was indeed explicitly stated for the first time. So far it was merely a headcanon to me. |

Pyrotheloststar said: MiniFreeza said: Damn bro your smart asf I gotta look out for your post more often!!!Well, Domas reminded me of Jaimie Lannister in Game of Thrones. Jaimie was a swordsman. Jaimie pushed a kid off a tower. Jaimie was having an affair with her sister, the Queen, providing her with kids. Jaimie lost a hand paying for this affair. That's where my theory came from x) we all saw the ressemblance between Daida and Joffrey Baratheon. So adding up 1 + 1 .. ^^" But yea, Daida is most likely not the King's son, else he would have inherited the power of giants too. I don't think these themes (affair) will come in this show. The show is very wholesome, no way it is going in that direction. |

| Especially with this episode, this anime continues to defy my expectations. |
 |
| First of all,I'm glad Daida had enough resolve not to drink that suspicious liquid that came from his father.I mean,it's safe to say that having to watch that whole ritual from start to end didn't help either lol The Boji Kage reunion was really sweet,tugging on my heartstrings yet again. |
 |
| Pace wasn't great, still pretty mysterious though with the various elements there to the story, I hope it's all cohesive and put together well at the end. This was a fine episode, but a part of the charm for some reason feels slipping a bit for me through all of this. It's not bad by any means at all, but I was more into the first 2 episodes than the stuff after, but if this can pay off well, then my enjoyment definitely would skyrocket. So I'll see. |

| Kage to the rescue he’s been there all this time I didn’t except Dida not to drink the potion to gain more power and Boji is already cursed someone took away his giant powers it’s probably the mirror |
 |
| I'm a little surprised that Daida chose to not drink that liquid. was expecting Apeas to interrupt him I feel like the liquid is actually not poisonous or harmful and Daida was suspicious of nothing |
