Damn, Seiya isn't kidding about the strongest sword this episode.

Of course he isn't afraid of facing against a big dragon. Ristarte provided some humorous dialogues as I had expected. But seriously that sword is no joke especially with some of the moves it can pull off like Phoenix Drive. Seiya is the hero that we deserve.

Good thing Seiya was able to save Elulu. She's his precious bag carrier xD.

Ristarte's facial expressions are always funny.

I KNEW HE DIDINT EAT IT lol

Seiya's prepared to fight the dragon (of course he is). The show is sort of very predictable at this point, but its still fun to watch i guess.

Seiya is always READY PERFECTLY.

Little did that lizard hag know how overly cautious seiya actually is.

Lista losing another 100 strands of hair. Her hair is free real estate for seiya.

Interesting that this went for a mostly serious episode, though it was mostly just a fight. A good fight but mostly a fight nether less. If I had any complaints it would probably be that we don't get to see the OP this episode.

I'm usually not a fan of a comedy going serious (like with Okasan Online hilariously failed at) for an episode because of tonal whiplash but I think this episode worked fine since the show has established to have some dark moments here and there. It works.

I'm also happy were see some different shades of Seiya who I still don't really like but he has had his moments here and there.

It really do be like that though.

Great episode, not as funny as the past few, but there was a lot of plot which was nice to see. "She's my precious bag carrier" Was so freaking cute to see Elulu and Mash's ship blossom. Rista getting upset at Seiya not taking advantage of her lolll.

100 Ristarte's hair for a dragon sword. Make it two, it's 200 hairs. Damn, somebody buy her a hair-growing tonic, Seiya will made her bald.

This is a fast episode, and an evidence that Seiya is actually care for his allies, even he just made them his bag carrier. This is a battle of cautiousness, and of course Seiya is still the best for it. check mate, dragon !

A little notice, looks like they updated the coloring and lighting of the ED animation. Yes, still with that doll's CG, but much colorful.

When I watched the 1st episode I thought it was okay-ish

actually turns out that this is probably my favorite one this season, without counting sequels (Like War of Underworld).

It could be an 8/10 for me..

It was nice that this episode didn't cheat by having Seiya save Elulu but still somehow get Igzasion, and I feel like it's far better to have Seiya eventually win without a cheat weapon like that. That aside, this episode did a good job of showing that Seiya isn't really a jerk despite his cautiousness making him come across as one a lot of the time.

I fucking knew he'd reject the offer because she's his precious pack-mule!

I love that all these little doubts I was thinking through the whole ordeal ("Is that wine spiked?" "Seiya isn't actually eating their food is he?") were actually legit lol.

It looks like they really were just a cult after all. Their legendary demon-lord-defeating weapon is only as good as a synthesized Platinum Sword+. I love that he found a loophole to get rid of the cult leader, fulfill the ritual, and keep Elulu at the same time. Clever Seiya to do that trick on the spot so their whole religion wouldn't be destroyed

Also, I guess Mash and Elulu aren't siblings... I thought they were up until this point.

I am pretty sure the regular Dragonkin just have no idea what the actual sword is supposed to be like, or how strong it was supposed to be. If someone could recognize the real deal, it was the Queen (and she is presumably dead).

Heck, Rista knew it was not the actual sword by checking its stats and seeing how weak it was. Both Rista and Seiya even note at the end of the ep that they are at disadvantage because they lack the real sword.

In other words, the real sword is supposed to be OP. Nothing in the ep suggests otherwise (though Idid think the Queen really turned into it, and that Seiya would just throw it away because the sword sucks in comparison to his creations).
Good thing this show is lighthearted, so this isn't a foreshadowing of Elulu's death in the final ep and her saving the day by changing into the sword. Or I hope so...

This episode was great, finally a bit of a softer side shown from Seiya, he's still rude though.
I felt sorry for Elulu, she was so close to dying :(

Rista is still so entertaining, her facial expressions are so lit! She's gonna be bald in a few episodes, but the question is where XD

They don't seem to catch a break, now they got a whole group waiting for them and they don't look happy!

I think you guys were under the impression that Mash and Elulu were brother and sister because they were brought down by a dragon as babies at the same time. However, at the end of episode 3 when they introduced themselves, Elulu said: "I've known Mash since we were little." which implies they aren't related.

Seiya is doing the most than "current veggie Kirito" at this moment.

But I wish he kept the first sword form, it looked super sort of ways. But I understand why he had to fuse it Elulu's blood, for face and all.

I also felt they shouldn't have censored that old dragon lady's tiddies, I don't know, curiosity just got the better of me that's all in that moment.
