| I bet somehow, Cid is enjoying his although I guess pretending to be someone else in this festival may not be his idea of fun. His fight this episode felt lacking though. On a more serious note, it also looks like Rose's friends are trying to save her. Interesting to also see Beatrix show up. |

| Cid disguised himself as a weak fighter, it was a duel in gladiators that brought the mental down. the golden knight seemed to pull out a strange golden dragon move and yeah it seem like the knight made a mistake. Fighting Cid was tantamount to suicide. the blue haired girl had too many comments on the bunshin festival. Cid was really messing up the bunshin festival. Iris was in a lot of trouble. It was Jimin (Cid) second win with a quick fight. The audience was also still looking down on Cid. The blue haired girl didn't seem to want to lose to Jimin, didn't that armour seem heavy? For some reason shaking her neck seemed strange. What is the purpose of the blue haired girl shaking her neck. Rose-san seems to be in trouble, involved in a battle... |
| Noooooooo!!! How can these episodes be so short. The fight with Goldy really surprised me, he was actually pretty strong, certainly no pushover. The neck crack and sneeze were so funny, even funnier with Annerose copying them. A relative of Alpha's eh, that will be interesting. Rose, I doubt you fully realise what you've gotten mixed up with. |

| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| Alexia and Beta-Natsume dynamic, is still as funny as ever. And Beatrix really looks like Alpha. She nearly took Cid's head off with that powerful swing |
 |
| The hilarious fights continued, with Mundane Mann (Cid) just dominating against everyone, but the more funny thing was Annerose and Quinton trying to analyze his movements, and thinking that they understood what was up, when they were just making up ways how Mundane Mann won every game in their minds, such as the cracking of the neck and sneezing. The more intriguing thing that happened this episode was Beatrix appearing, and she looked like Alpha. She also had very high combat ability as well. Rose was also in trouble at the end, and why does this show always end with a cliffhanger centred around Rose? I don't know if I care a lot about that whole situation at this point. |
| Another solid episode. This is what I'm always expecting. Every little thing from the main characters to the mob characters, they will have some line to say to make the story more realistic. Alexia finally has some appearance and Rose is on the run, and Cid is playing a hidden OP mob character. It would have been nice to see his fight against Quinton but I guess we won't be getting it... unfortunately... Annerose is an interesting side? character. Unfortunately, there's no "insect chirping" but instead, pure silence from the crowd while she did those embarrassing things... lol |

| 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. |
| Alexia and Beta was quite amusing. Annerose sneezing was cute, wanna see more of her. Also hope nothing bad happens to Rose. |
 |
| I hoped that they put plot a little bit further and show more of princess Rose, but in other hand that's good they don't rush it... But waiting another week!! |
| Defeated by a neck crack and a sneeze combo. I wish I was creative enough to make up shit like that |
 |
| Another good shit episode! That's all I hafta say |
| Okay, I'm in love with Annerose These neck cracks and sneezes are precious And how she just stood there with a confident smile after confronting Cid lmao |
 |
| Dude literally just removed his shackles but that annerose girl didnt get him and tried to show she can also crack her neck. |
| It's awesome to see Mr. Perv Asshat is still in the game. This show is a glorious rocket and I'm loving every second. |
| Annerose sneezing and cracking neck scene was kinda cute. And Cid just sneezed the dragon out of existence. |
| These episodes are too short. Annerose watching and then trying to imitate Munday Mann's moves such as the neck creaks and sneezes was stupid funny lol! And she then proceeds to try to show off in front of Cid, I think it's over for her unless Cid lets her win. Meanwhile, Alexia's and Beta's interactions are great as always and hopefully they find Rose before she gets caught. I'm not sure what Mr. Asshat has planned but it looks like he's manipulating the king and Iris is upset. Lastly, Beatrix looks just like Alpha (I think that's her aunt) so I'm curious what's her purpose. |
| Look what a sneeze can do xD Now I just hope Annerose doesn't snap her neck in two, I mean you shouldn't imitate the omnipotents. Also the fact that Hayami Show's voicing Perv Asshat is too hilarious for some reason. |
 |
| why is this anime so good i cant get enough of this |
 |
| Hilarious episode. Definitely enjoying the second cour of this show much more than the first. |
 |
| the episodes go by so fast istg. annerose was really cute and some rose action at the end was nice but worrying. i love this anime, good ep as usual. |
| I liked the Piccolo reference. And the names - Po Tato, Flukas Bullhead - continue, lol |

| Damn this anime just has so many great waifu's I can't choose. but By far this new purple neck cracking gal is in da top. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Rose's stabbing of her fiancé Perv Asshat sets off a chain reaction of politics that could result in her punishment...but to dig the real reason, only Rose knows why. And that's Alexia and Beta's main objective before the kingdoms find and detain her for questioning. Meanwhile, the background character sitting in the arena awaiting his next course of action and finding this elf girl Beatrix who's looking for her sister Alpha (that Cid definitely has an inkling but fakes out), it was a moment of unforeseen coincidences. Cid as Mundane Mann against Goldy Gilded with Annerose and Quinton watching vigorously, the Unbeaten Legend fumes against the man who doesn't give a shit about anything, both the head crack and the sneeze were the fight's decision maker. It's too hilarious to even make this up, this is just insane how this works at all. Turns out, Perv Asshat is still alive with Iris, and there is something sinister about that. But no matter, Cid is onto the main tournament, and Annerose's threat isn't enough to deter him, not even her head crack. As Rose runs away from authorities, how long can she keep this farce up? Interesting arc, we are at this point. |
 |
| Lmao this tournament arc is interesting, Cid nailed the underdog role so well this time without overreacting. Especially the crack neck and sneeze move and the weight drops (rock lee?) |
| Great tournament and hilarious!!! kekeke |
| This show never fails to be funny lmao |
| Are we really gonna have a neck cracking battle lmao |
 |
| Well given its a scandal of such magnitude its a given that her kingdom would want to handle it in private. Though not very ladylike Alexia's blunt nature can be useful at times. Still a seeker of Alpha huh. Looks like Cid's attempt to blend in ended up catching the attention of Annerose and Quinton. Shion Wakayama was the perfect seiyuu to pick for Annerose though. Winning the fight with a sneeze is a new one. Perv really has the worst personality. It would be most curious to see the fight between Cid and Ammerose though. Underground looks like the hunt for Rose is getting heated. |

| I didn't expect him to go full Rock Lee. That part was quite enjoyable and right after that the blue-haired girl did the neck cracking man this is going places, quite good episode and I can't wait for more. |
| Annerose doing the neck cracking and sneezing were the highlights of the episode for me lol. Cid is really enjoying himself in the tournament, his face lit up when he was given the perfect opportunity to drop those heavy as arm plates!! Cid gonna come to the rescue of Rose for sure, I think? |
 |
| Poor Goldy, he thought he could be the legendary crack neck and sneezing techniques |
 |
| Next Week, Cid with Moonlight Sonata again kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa |
  |
| I've been enjoying this anime from start to finish(well,up to now),but what has me giggling every bloody time is,of course,the names of people in this series. Perv Asshat(just call me Lord Perv),jesus,somebody had bucketloads of fun coming up with these. Any chance at the end,someone could make a list of all the funny names,then we can add any others we notice? |
 |
| Annerose cracking her neck had me crying! Episode was hilarious. Cid dropping those weights Rock lee style was so good. |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Spring 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| ah yes, the good old neck crack and sneeze technique, never fails. annerose becoming one of my faves. that flex when cid took off the heavy plates tho. |
