| Heh, another secret in this show revealed. Curious how many of those we'll see in this series and this is during the Goddess Trial arc. Oh and we're seeing some brutal moves from the Shadow Garden members. I guess the anime really did want to make them look like legit assassins and killers ater all. |
 |
| Cid wants to rest, but this anagram that suddenly shows up in front of him, it's a door to somewhere that just wouldn't let him go, and he decides to do it anyways. The same door appears in the stadium also, catching everyone by surprise and abruptly cancelling the Goddess's Trial. If that's not enough, Shadow Garden silently coming in to deal with the issue and entering the Sanctuary before it closes with Archbishop Nelson, he wouldn't go down without a fight, and Executioner Venom is NO match for Epsilon. Beta a.k.a Natsume sure is having fun being kidnapped lols, and everyone enters the Sanctuary following the lead. The Sanctuary is one place filled of mysteries: the sealed left arm of Diablos after being slained by the great hero Olivier, and the real reason for the Cult of Diablo's existence to keep everything on ears: the place where memories are kept, a prison. Cid's calling towards the door, leads him to the Calamity Witch Aurora, but devoid of her memories and wanting to be free after being strapped for 1000 years, located close to the Sanctuary, Aurora's memories are also present even when she doesn't remember. On the other hand, Olivier essentially is handed a fairy tale mission where the belief of the world's oyster was at hand, but the truth being that of Diablos being undefeated enough for the Cult to take drastic action, producing the red beads known as the Beads of Diablos. And the only people who can do that: the Knights of Rounds. Delta coming too close for the kill of the Archbishop, it's a futile attempt that basically reveals Nelson the 11th Rounds member. The Sanctuary of time and space, Delta must work her courage to kill Nelson, for real this time. Redeem yourself Delta! |

| I can't say anything, too much to say... Anyway, I really enjoyed this episode. Especially the gate stalking Cid was funny. lmao Beta's voice in the ED is so cute though. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| That's the spirit Epsilon, can't lose to that all-natural. Natsume acting was top notch, you could almost feel the distress in her voice, as she was getting abducted |
 |
| Lots of info dump this episode. Epsilon and Alexia gave me a good laugh. Also Beta's acting was top notch. Happy to have more Aurora but she's gonna vanish? Damn. Delta was quite amusing. |
 |
| I'm relieved the Knight guy didn't got one shot by Delta, Diabolos' power would be ridiculous otherwise xD |
 |
| This Cult truely evil. |
 |
| this episode so heavy !! but goddess destruction she is pretty hot milf onee-san !!! |

This is literally what happens in the original, maybe the manga is just not a good adaptation and skips a lot of important stuff. |
 |
| The true purpose of the order is finally while the girl bickering continues and Cid goes about his day without care. The boob cutting scene was quite something. |

I don't read the LN but... in reality regardless which one is better adaptation.. I'm a fan of the series the anime is pretty good because of time constraint there's even stuff they had to cut out or streamlined it from the manga... the manga got stuff in between like side stuff but that's not important... the anime as is, still good, no worries. at least form the important thing is that I believe is upgrade from what they had originally... |

| I honestly found it kinda boring. It 's supposed to be a huge game-changing reveal, but there was no difficulty, no struggle in obtaining it. They just entered the Sanctuary and learned everything as if having a discussion on a tea party. It robs this episode of any weight, since none of it actually matters to the story... |
 Never saw no miracle of science, that didn't go from a blessing to a curse Never saw no military solution, that didn't end up as something worse |

I still don't understand how they end up in the same onsen... it seems that the explanation is skipped in both adaptation... |
| cutting the tits off scene was one of the greatest in anime history |
 |
someone give Natsume-sensei an Oscar, almost forgot she's Beta. this ep shows us how dark this series is but the 'comedy', especially Cid, lightens the mood which is nice. delta was cute like always and aurora/violet was wow.  |
it's a shame she's gonna vanish... 
| all enter inside!!!! kekeke hard reality!!! :( |
| The rooting has been temporarily been sealed by Shadow Garden, but we are still register a 4.955 event increase! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| This was a bit of a plot heavy episode, with the Goddess' trial getting halted due to doors opening everywhere, one that captured Cid, and one that sent the Shadow Garden members into the Sanctuary, a place filled with lore and mystery surrounding the Cult of Diablos. Cid and Aurora have their own mission to do, but Shadow Garden has their hands full dealing with the Archbishop, who turned out to be one of the Knights of Rounds, who can consume the red beads, the Beads of Diablos, for more power. Just when it looked like Delta killed him, the battle isn't over yet, and the battle rages on. |
| So much lore in this episode. I wonder if Cid's going to find out soon that the cult's actually real. |
| Lol Cid trying to avoid the seal of the sanctuary was damm amusing. The door that can go anywhere huh. But also one that opens only to the most worthy appropriate. Alpha and the others sure made a dramatic entrance. Epsilon's dramatic rally around her complex though was fun. Alexia is anything if not adventurous. But to think that the shadows had gathered that much intel before their dramatic entrance. Cid's reunion with Aurora where they talked as if they were old friends was kinda fun. The more we find out about the cult the more damming it gets for the church. If boldness was the side effect for that drug it would have been a minor thing. But the sanctuary's security system sure provided to be a great setting for their confrontation with the cult after finding out so much about their evil deeds. Overall a fun ep that provided a lot of info regarding just how evil the cult was and just how far they were willing to go to achieve their twisted dream. I loved the parallel with Alpha and co and Cid's exploration with Aurora. |

| This show is just so damn fun, and the narrative is actually interesting in this action/comedy. Every episode, I have a blast watching it. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| Wow, I'm impressed with the direction of this episode, especially with that shatter effect. |
