Wait so there's another Kanna? I get that they're the same type of dragon but why do they have the same name?

It's amazing getting to know each dragon's history as that is the reason why they are in the human world today, and Kobayashi being so respectful and understanding of it is truly heart-warming.

Also, Baby Tohru and Baby Kanna are the cutest, and Quetzalcoatl's dragon form is huge!

Lucoa, is not just a dragon, she was a god.

If you pay attention you'll notice that even Fafnir defers to her.

I just have this thought or question in mind. According to tohru's father dragons are prideful creatures and they dont want the idea of a god ruling them so all of them retaliate and then along with the battle with the gods some of the dragons betrayed the whole fraction, and they suddey side with the gods and they became the order/harmony fraction while the left who still want to fight became the chaos fraction and also some dragons who ware tired of war became neutrals. Now my question is this, what is lucoa? is she the same god that the dragons fought before? what is she? because we know she's a godess before and that she's also a dragon... i think there's more to it in the story of what tohru's dad told to kobayashi im sure its deep too. anyways love the ep 11 sadst because its coming to an end

I don't get the relationship of Tohru and Kobayashi XD
It should looks like something deep, but I don't see that at all.

w0w! for sure this episode is one "HEAVY" & "SERIOUS" tones that we had since most eps are mainly moe, comedy and a bit of badass sakuga action! that was some very heavy and serious talk with Kobayashi and the pops of Tooru!
oh! so that were the events that lead to Tooru finally meeting for the first time with Kobayashi in which she removed the sword from Tooru impaled by a god! damn!
5/5.

This episode was "Heavy". Did not see such an emotional episode coming. This always seemed like a slice of life story. Now it actually has a deep back story. I wonder if they'll evaluate further on the whole gods vs the dragons action. I would say this is my favorite episode so far out of both seasons. Don't get me wrong, I really like the slice of life and think it's very humorous and has great animation and fighting scenes. Also, I REALLY LIKE THE OP. It's one of my favorite OP's of recent memory.

If lucoa helped tohru to fight the gods the result might be different, lucoa was also being framed by his friend so I think he might have a reason to fight the gods

Best one so far. The storytelling of the origin of dragon factions and Tohru's past is rather heavy and genuine. The whole explanation of this episodes add a ton of depths to the lovely dragons. In the end, Tohru's father is not a bad dragon after all. He just wants Tohru to able experience things freely and become her own dragon without any bias or status. Very meaningful insight on the lessons of freedom and identity delivered in single episode.

explanation of factions and Tohru and Kobayashi's journey understanding more about her, that's very interesting. Tohru and Kobayashi's relationship: friends/lovers in a way, I don't know what the difficulty is with that.

Another episode that puts most of isekai shows' animation to shame. Oh, how I missed KyoAni animators for more than a year.

Interesting talk with Tohru's father. It's always the last episodes that destroy the slice of life vibe and then we're on full dragons and gods plot. Really liked Fafnir and Quetzacoatl's dragon forms. Baby Kanna was too cute.

The director has such a scary voice it's not even funny.

Good to see more of Tohru backstory and it was beautifully done, made me tear up a bit. Toddler Kanna was adorable and young Tohru too.

Honestly this season has been off the charts, sad that it's already the finale next week. Hopefully we'll get season 3 announcement.
yes, i expect an announcement at the end of the last episode.

Baby Tohru is so cute, give me a plushy of that.

Also, Young Tohru and Baby Kanna is even cuter...

___ ___ ___

I actually want a full series based on Tohru's adventure as she travels from places to places as she grew older and reaches her current conclusion. (cause all we got atm is time-skip flashbacks)

___ ___ ___

TBH, Tohru's right tho... fk the gods, lol. This whole thing started cause they took full control over all other species. (aka the Gods are dictators for control) And the dragons didn't like it (aka the Dragons are liberals for freedom)

But the Dragons separated into 3 branches, the Harmony (Conservatives), Chaos (still Liberals) and Neutral (Green Peace). LOL

Tohru is never giving up on affording her tail as a dessert, that's great constancy. And her little form swirling around her dad's tail was one of the best moe creations I've ever seen (until young Kanna appeared later in the episode).

Very deep segment featuring the Emperor of Demise. He obviously tried to distribute his actions between Tohru's education and a neverending tactical war and his decision to let Tohru make up her own impression of the world was wise. Then she met the other picturesque dragons with their own looks on life (Fafnir was especially radical) and in the end she broke out if there's no tomorrow and no one to look up to. And yes, the price for freedom was always morbidly high

For an episodic SoL, this backstory was awesome (it's come full circle). This series really does take its time and flesh out its characters. Since everyone has mainly been fleshed out, I wonder what they will do for season 3 🤔🤔🤔.

So.. Fight between dragons and humans started, when some people joined pro-gods dragon faction, started working together with them?.. They didn't fight before at all?.. Or they did?..
Interesting to hear more of Kobayashi's backstory.. We also got glimpses towards other dragons we know.. Maybe we'll get more about them in time, because many things about how they used to be - are still unknown, maybe only slightly touched here and there.. For some touched more.. I hope we'll just get more in the future about them..

It's Kanna's parent, either her father or mother, I believe.

Tohru asked in Japanese,
"Sendai no Kanna Kamui ka?"

Literal Translation:
"The previous generation of Kanna Kamui?"

As Fafnir once said, there's nothing special about the parent-child relationship in dragons' lives. This is why Tohru, in a dragon's common sense, said previous generation instead of parent.

So, in human terms and perspective, Tohru's question would be,
"That's Kanna Kamui's parent?"



Note: I don't read the manga, so I could be wrong on some points.

We finally got a character backstory of Tohru, and from two POVs, her own and her father's. Baby dragon Tohru was almost too kawaii ^.^ Excellent episode like most of this season, with an impressive battle with the gods sequence. Minor complaint about the subs of this episode, at least of my own version (Crunchy), but thankfully the errors were not frequent.

What I failed to understand was who that other Kanna was. Her mother or father? If so why did they have the same name and surname? And why did Tohru say 'previous Kanna Kamui' instead of father / mother? A mystery to be disclosed later I guess..

edit: Not quite a mystery apparently, based on a couple of comments I read. They were one of her parents.

Great Tohru development episode. Ngl i'll really give the Kyoto Ani this one, these past few episodes they've managed to balance deep character development with casual SOL and made it flow really well.

Seeing Tohru's father was surprising, but we managed to get a pretty clear image now of what her stance on the war and humans were before meeting Kobayashi.

Looking forward to this last episode next, but also sad that this season has to already end.

kobayashis feelings are quite relatable in this one, she doesnt feel like shes enough for tohru so she feels guilty, but tohru doesnt mind that since she loves her fpr who she is, and nothing more. thats a nice little message there.

Lore dump ep!

Lucoa's dragon form is super long.

A little backstory of Tohru, how the notion of freedom without a purpose is meaningless.

Tohru found her new purpose in life that is to be Kobayashi's maid.

not a huge fan of the explanations/backstory part but it was still interesting, especially with that great animation


yeah. Surprised to discover the link between fathers, and to be honest i expected a very different plot, not that the episode became bad for it (even if Tohru's tail to be eaten... come on, just give up). Unfortunately, there is just one more already, even if previews (yukatas, carnival festival etc. etc.) made me hyped.
