| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- What a weird fight. I mean, slipping and almost falling to death...yeah, that's not a cool way to go down. Looks like the episode detailed Raphtalia's past in details since her parents' death. Felt bad for her and the kids tbh with the way they were treated. It's no wonder Raphtalia hated that fat noble guy. Seeing Keel get treated like dirt by those slave traders wasn't pleasant to watch if you ask me. Oh boy, that cliffhanger. |
 |
| This will be the most saddest and emotional moment episode in whole S1 aside iin last episode 4 (naofumi activated the curse series)... This is the whole Rapthalia's back story which she leave in peaceful town until the first wave is coming where Rapthalia parent dies on the cliff while she scape by falling to the sea.after that the invasion on the human kingdom that cause of most of the children captured and turn into a slave while she sell to the slave trader that they naofumi and she turn a personal BG (bodyguard) until she returned to the place to rescue Melty and other slave people including Rapthalia friends... By the way Barney the dinosaur is already release so I want to watch the next episode (next week) |

| How did FUB survive being stabbed and falling out of a third floor window like that? Is he a demihuman of some sort too? |

| Damn that CGI at the end of the episode was really bad...aside that this was an awesome episode, I really liked this dramatic tone :) |
 |
| This is the best episode yet, if not one of the best episodes of the year, right up there with episode 11 of The Promised Neverland and Episode 5 of Mob Psycho 100. |
| The most devastating and terrifying monster, a giant CGI'd t-rex. |
| wall even though i knew what was coming i still ended up in tears, props to the director of this episode , VA's and music everthing was amazing without a doubt most emotional episode of this season. |
| well that's just my opinion..... |
| The only way for demi humans is to grow by leveling up or do they grow by age like normal humans? Because Raphtalia looks way older than her childhood friend. Other than that, the episode was good with. I hope the CGI won't be too disappointingnext episode. |
 |
| I just don't understand how is possible to someone hate this episode (according to poll results) |

bkptools said: I just don't understand how is possible to someone hate this episode (according to poll results) Because it's cool to hate anything that's popular (and to continue watching it despite hating it). Every piece of art is subjective and I can very easily write up a scathing review of this episode if I wanted to (contrived, predictable, emotional manipulation, torture porn, edgy, blah, blah, blah), but I'm not going to because I'm a decent human being. The quality of a show is in the interpretation and one man's masterpiece is another man's appalling. Farabeuf said: How did FUB survive being stabbed and falling out of a third floor window like that? Is he a demihuman of some sort too? He was stabbed with the mana sword, not a physical sword. |
| To think Raphtalia didn't kill him, she sure is pathetic. |
 |
| Am I the only one who finds it ironic that the only edgy ones here are the haters who think it's cool to hate on a popular show for the sake of hating it? Masochism is no longer in style, you know? |
| Dang, this episode felt cheap as fuck. Misery porn at it's finest along with a SAO tier villain. I like this series, I really do, but this was rather meh. Having that said, I'm only human and despite my gripes with this episode, I eventually still felt sorry for Raph. Ah and to see that guy getting stomped by the T-rex made also up for a lot xD I also can't say it often enough, but the ending song is so great. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| After all that crying it was a relief when the ugly bastard got crushed by a T-rex Also lots of little details make more sense about Raphtalia now from the early episodes. Like how amazed she was at the little flags in her kid's meals |
| OOOOOW! My fucking heart! That was so hard to watch. Raphtalia should be so proud of herself because she didn't let her past defeat her and she's saved so many people, including Naofumi. That part at the end there: "Nothing can stop me!".... except that massive monster u just summond... |
 |
| everyone (bar filo) in our party is out for revenge now |
 |
| extremely disappointed about the fat guy. The manga version was 1000% better... (FYI: In the manga raphtalia immediatelly stabs him in the shoulder, then they have the talk and ultimately raphtalia stabs him with the magic sword, actively pushing him out the window with naofumi rescuing her from falling) The rest of the episode was great |
| Episode was pretty good in general, Raphtalia's past is a very painful one. Only negative thing would be that cgi dino by the end, but I've seen worst cgi in the past, so I can forget that. |
| well raphtalia past and all..never hough will see a T rex like this |
 |
| Manly tears were cried... My favourite character list is full, but I'm strongly tempted to swap out a waifu for Raphtalia after this episode. It's not just being smacked by the feels train at full speed, it's also what's revealed about her character and abilities with the flashback to her childhood: a cheerful, brave, and charismatic child, broken by imprisonment, torture, and slavery, taken in and healed by the shield hero. And as much as she has been healed by the shield hero, he has also been healed by her. Naofumi isn't often honest about his feelings, but he was in this episode. I'm looking forward to the further development of his relationship with Raphtalia. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| So many changes. It's expected but I didn't expect they'd waste a whole episode on Raph finding her friends. Next episode should be good. |
| So many boobs in fairy tail, it's crazy. |
| Felt bad for Raphtalia in this episode, the way she was treated in her past. |
 |
| I don't know how, but this anime still keeps getting better and better each episode, even after 15 ones |
 |
| That was an emotional ride especially when Raphtalia found out that Rifana couldn't make it. The episode did a good job establishing what kind of person she was prior to the waves and how she got to where she is now. The one negative was the obvious CG in the CG dinosaur. It definitely looks intimidating, but the CG just clashes with the artstyle. |
| I feel so bad for Raphtalia.. On the other hand, BYE UGLY BASTARD!11 |
| Fantastic episode. Raphtalia is a true gem and anyone who aims to take away her smile must be purged. |
| This might be the worst episode in this show yet. Nearly every aspect of the writing is contrived, cliched, or pandering; it's unmitigated schlock at this point. I can't even be bothered to list out all the cringe-inducing plot points, it's basically everything in the entire episode. papsoshea said: Me when watching Raphtalia's backstory and the segment when she went to save her fellow furries. The real revenge porn is only reserved for the almighty Naofumi-sama! Let's make Raphtalia the pure furry loli goddess waifu that she is, and let's also give Raphtalia her friends dream of wanting to marry the Shield Hero! One-dimensional villain trips, falls out of a castle, survives, and summons a CGI T-rex (a Dinosaur in a medieval isekai setting) who stomps him. Big scary Dinosaur, whatever will our Shield Hero do? Weak ass cliffhanger. The absolute pinnacle of this episode was when Raphtalia found the bones of the cat loli and the camera slowly pans down to the bandage still on her skeleton-fingers. I mean... come on. Do I need to say anything else? lol |
Aniteku said: I bet if keel (dog boy) was a girl all this lowly crits would be yelling "harem" all over this discussion by now as if harem anime is a bad thing. I mean it could still be a harem. Keep an open mind. |
Aniteku said: I bet if keel (dog boy) was a girl all this lowly crits would be yelling "harem" all over this discussion by now as if harem anime is a bad thing. They've been crying harem just because a male character has multiple members of the opposite sex in his party while ignoring the fact that harem anime involves female characters vying for the male MC's romantic affection. |
| Apparently they made some large changes with the material in this episode... Probably to make Raphtalia just even more perfect (stupid) waifu-bait material. And that was fucking retarded. I'm starting to really hate this show. "Oh no I killed the person who tortured and killed my entire village, how will I ever live with myself?" Really? And the MC asking for forgiveness from Ralph because "it's the right thing to do" and seemingly taking the teacher/mentor role despite not understanding any of what she or the others went through or having really any actual grasp of the situation, that's insulting... (and done presumably for the sake of wanking off about how "cool" the MC is and his "handle" of the situation to the audience, like with most of these shitty, cheaply written isekai stories). And he really showed a lot of emotion for his close friend while she was in complete distress and confronting her past abuser/torturer... I don't know. I feel like most people in his position would have been uhhhh, upset or maybe angry? At that guy? Maybe. Instead of being otherwise entirely passive... And there's just way too many "evil for the sake of being evil" characters to justify, like that fat old guy just now (who apparently was completely different in the LN and set up at least with some power/high level) who lacked any discernable motive like every other antagonist thus far in this show. Everything about this show's writing makes me want to hit my head against a wall. This episode had no weight to it, because none of these characters have been introduced or talked about before (or even hinted at) and I don't even like the main cast anymore - the MC's whole edgy, teenage-angsty schtick got old 8+ episodes ago and is now just cringey--he's entirely 1-note and entirely cliché now, the two lolis have the EXACT same personality (a completely forgettable one at that. Their appeal is that they're cute lolis. That's it.) and I've already spoken on Ralph - she's arguably the most basic one, being the epitome of effortless, lifeless waifu bait and completely unbelievable as any sort of actual person. There's no effort passed that of face value with anything in this show. Apparently these are just about all rooted in deviations from the source and part of me thinks some of it might be down to them trying to appeal to the west with these tropes (at least the "killing you (mr mass child torturer and murderer) will make me as bad as you (even in self defense)" moral turd and the huge change/simplification of Ralphtalia's character for sad otaku appeal) what with this having been made with the west as a targeted demographic due to Crunchyroll's heavy involvement/backing. |

Cerms said: Any other swedes noticed they started singing in swedish at 18:02 - 20:49? I can translate from swedish to english for those that doesn't understand swedish. I'm pretty sure the song is about Raphtalia's life before, and after the wave arrived and destroyed her village, and up until Naofumi bought her off the slave trader. Beautiful song in my opinion. Haha no i heard it also, Wondering what the swedish came from until I understand it was in the song it came from. Needed to replay it a couple of time. First i tought that Japanese had become so easy to understand my brain translated it on the spoot. Haha |
| This episode was atrocious. At first I was about to mention how God damn awful and cliche all the bullshit with Raccon Girl and Fat Bad Guy was but awful CG dinosaur sealed the deal, I'm not going to bother. Like manga, this anime started strong but is getting worse and worse as time goes. Anime is just even shittier though. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| One of the best episodes till now, I even teared up a bit when I saw Riffana's remains so sad.. RIP. and the fact that Raphtalia went through all that, I'm feeling rage towards this stupid country and its king. 5/5 |
