| Watching the ratings for this show consistently climb towards 8 has been most satisfying. I'd like to think the pure inventiveness of Mundane Mann's battle with Iris was the thing that pushed this show into 8 ratings territory Can't wait for Beatrix next week, but I so don't want this to be over. |

Last 5 minutes or so legit gave me goosebumps. Amazing job adapting the hype at parts of volume 2, wow. Rose casting aside everything and continuing the fight even at the cost of her father’s life, mad respect. That moment was very emotional and they did a great job of showing rose’s conviction and why she’s best girl. Am I tripping or did the anime imply she’d been working with shadow garden prior to the end of volume 2? Did they arrive to the stadium together or? That’s anime original IIRC Cid and Beatrix crossing swords was so hype man this finale is going to be insane I promise you. i'm hoping for episode 20 but i don't have high expectations animation wise. i'm not asking for mappa or ufotable levels of animation but at least something better than the slideshow we had in episodes 1-19 (there were a few 1-3 seconds fluid scenes but nothing impressive) Animation was good idk what you expecting this ain’t ufo lmao |

| Am I the only one who feels really bad for Iris? I hope her spirit isn't too crushed by that defeat. It would be a waste of her characterization to toss her to the side after all that build-up. Also, I'm glad Shadow actually saved Rose. I was hoping her story would have a payoff as well. Part of me also wants him to lose against Beatrix, but considering how this is supposed to be written, I doubt that will happen. |
 |
| Claire gonna kill Cid this time LMAO Bruhh even Iris can't do anything? Our Edgelord is too OP!! Shadow vs Beatrix for the finale, now this is HYPED AF!! |
 |
| Nah... man. I can't wait for this fight. I wanted to watch it so badly. This cliffhanger is gonna kill me. Fuck. |
 |
| Good Lord, was that an epic episode. |
  “The most shameless thing in the world is political power that can be inherited regardless of ability or talent!” |
| Wow!! I just got a chance to watch this episode and I have to say this series just gets better and better. It’s been so much fun to watch. Cid is nuts but I love him!! |

| That was a badass episode, which is not a word I use lightly. I really wasn't expecting this show to be as enjoyable as it has been. Hope it will get a continuation. |
| The ending used the same image as episode 13? lame |
| Beatrix just needed an excuse to fight Mundane Mann@Shadow lol, fitting finale fight to wrap up this turbulent arc |
| Iris was done in so badly. Rose killed her father, but tried to kill herself, which is pathetic. Shadow came in time and took off his disguise. But when he was saying his name, Rose had to cut in and say Stylish Bandit Hunter 🤣🤣🤣. It’s Shadow vs Beatrix time. |
 |
| I felt the intensity of that match. I think those weren't illusions but rather Shadow's intentions leaking and Iris detecting them since she's skilled enough to do so. It's actually a complement to Iris' strength, I think. |

| Oh my goodness gracious. Iris stood no chance against Mundane Mann. Mundane Mann is at a completely different level. The premonition of Iris death through dismemberment of her body parts was really cool. Didn't know that Shadow had that ability. Kinda OP tho. Mundane Mann didn't really have to try against her. Overall, interesting fight. |

| Damn this episode was good. That fake-out with Iris being instantly decapitated was a bit cheap though. Would've been an interesting plot twist if it wasn't just more battle instinct hallucinations because I didn't see that coming AT ALL (I guess that was the point though to shatter Iris's confidence). Rose's return to her father was beautiful and tragic. At least he forgave her through the mind control. Beatrix is totally just fighting Shadow because she wants to, isn't she? lol. Pretty cool they just already know they're both on a different level without saying anything directly. Wonder if we're gonna get one last ATOMIC before the end. |
| Que anime maravilhoso, para mim foi uma grande surpresa da temporada. |
 |
| I was so sure Rose was gonna take the king and Asshat Perv at the same time. Guess I'll find out next expisode what her angle is. Dang Beatrix is a resident sleeper xD Quietly devouring all those MacDonald's burgers was so disarming lol. xD |
| WOW I WOULD NEVER GUESS THAT MUNDANE MANN WAS SHADOW ALL ALONG!! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Iris got destroyed way worse than I ever could have imagined. I'm actually really looking forward to this battle. |
 |
| Omg this wS fking insane!!! Awesome ep haha I got goosebumps wow 10/10 |
 |
| WHAT A EP GODAMITT THIS BRO IS JUST A LEVEL ITSELF |
 |
| So... Rose's plan was to kill the king and princess of the Oriana kingdom? I mean... she really would've showed the people who want to destroy it I guess? lol |
| Wish we could've seen more of Kid Cid on a bandit killing spree |
 |
| OK I'm mega HYPED for the next episode with that cruel cliffhanger being Shadow vs Beatrix!! But on the other hand, about Iris's fight with Mundane in this episode was rough for her to handle because of her pride. |

| THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT! Loved it! Small fight against Iris but damn did she get put down. Now will Alpha show herself in front of Beatrix? As much as I would love to see Shadow fight, I kind of wanna see Alpha take this final fight. |
Vandelay Industries, this is George Can’t-Stand-Ya speaking, how may I assist you? |
