| Even though Kurumi is the main girl for this arc, I'm also glad to see the rest of the female cast remaining relevant and helping Shido with his conquest. Plus, it's Valentine's Day so plenty of opportunities. Gotta admit that some of the girls were really bold towards Shido this episode. Some of their lack of common sense is priceless. |
 |
| Thought I was watching shokugeki no soma for a while at the beginning of the ep lol. Man Shido can be annoying at times. Mf wakes up with Origami, Nia etc in bed in lingerie and kicks them out, only to get ambushed as a result. Deserved. Funny seeing the aged up versions of the girls, especially Kotori. Boob scene was funny Date a Live also topped anime corner charts for the week, nice to see it getting some well deserved recognition. Can’t wait to see the rest of Kurumi plan unfold |

| Best Girl finally going on a date with Shido, it's like the LN readers have been waiting for this moment to arrive, and it was truly a blessing. Kurumi being weak on cats, and Shido won't back down from his fight to win her over, the first being a bento lunch battle. Shido certainly has learnt how to handle this dangerous Spirit much better after 3 seasons, and with the upcoming Valentine's Day, all the girls also want in as well as a precaution if Kurumi acts out of the ordinary. Shido sure wasn't expecting Nibeelcole to show up on his window to be killed by it many times, but the boldness of the Spirits man to win Shido's affection, they really went all out in their own distinctive ways. Nia, Origami and Miku tried to sneak a headstart but failed spectacularly, while the others did their best to shake Shido with their "assets". Reine adds into the picture with making chocolate and her own short storytelling session of a love gone past. Unsurprisingly, Kurumi creeps at the eleventh hour to compete with them, and this is a good opportunity to get data on her. Kotori, despite being the most proud, she is a lost cause when it comes to things like these. The Valentine's date is next...and Kurumi will begin her Ragnarok real soon. |
 |
| The girls doing cosplay was hot. Good for Shido, he got so many chocos. |
 |
| It was so nice seeing everyone making their best for Shido. As always, great episode. Made my laugh a couple of times. I’m also reaaaally curious about that “And for Shido’s sake”. I wonder what Kurumi meant by that. Also, was it a dream or not, that one about those spirits trying to kill Shido? |
| Origami was trying to make her lifesize chocolate. lol That was Yamai's chocolate but on the next level. Happy Birthday! Kurumi! |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Shido with the brutal burn about Kotori's assets. |
| Damn it Shido!!! Giving her the meow-meow!!! That's unfair!!! Again, Did Shido die at the hands of DEM Nibelcole there??? & somehow once again, Kurumi pulled a Homura on him hence why he was alive??? Ofc, Kurumi crashes the chocolate party & she leads the way & puts everyone in their place!!! & finally, we will meet the White Queen/Sawa once again, next week. Happy Birthday to the Queen, Kurumi Tokisaki!!! |
" Kindness can sometimes lead you to trouble. "  |
| Their battle on the roof of the school was nice kurumi is really my fav girl. They bake chocolate together and yeah origami was make something special. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Initial sequence was basically Lunch is War. Like damn, Kurumi's antics are so alluring. |
 |
| That short date with Kurumi xD but now it seems like it's valentines day so of course everyone has to be ready especially to prevent Kurumi's attractiveness on Shido but lol he had to opportunity to have them in his bed or even their adult version but well.. though that was fun, I wanna taste this human size chocolate xD And that last scene with Kurumi... |
 |
| Yeah it was as clear as day that something definitely was up, given Kotori's sudden plumpy growth. And sorry girls you all don't stand a chance when it's Kurumi you're all up against. Also hey give Reine some more screentime. |
 |
| Still no spare from work.....aww man, you guys are so lucky. |
| Please watch Sword Art Online Progressive, it's the peak of SAO. |
| The beggining with Kurumi and Shidou exchanging food was pretty funny, their competition to get the other's heart is pretty intense. Also some more fanservice, yay, we get to see Miku, Origami and Nia in lingerie, but Shidou wuickly gets them out of the room, stay strong Shidou. However quickly the scene goes in a completely different way, poor Shidou getting attacked by the Nibelcols, but suddenly they weren't there anymore. When Shidou gets back we get more fanservice, yay, this season has been pretty lacking in that aspect so is good we get some. And we get to see and grown up Kotori (those thighs tho), also Tohka as a teached, grown up Yoshino, aged down Miku, Nia and Origami, between other things lol. They try to make chocolate for Shidou to not make him fall for Kurumi. We also get some more insight about Reine, saying how was her first boyfriend, that boy surely sounds like a nice one doesn't it? And then Kurumi suddenly gets to also make her chocolates. This episode is building up to some more stuff, as the Kurumi clones are doing stuff in the background for Shidou's sake. And next time we will get Kurumi's past, it will be nice to see. |
| Really great episode, one of the most important plot is coming! The lunch scene is so intense and funny. |
 |
| I love all the girls from Date a Live, they are all perfection <3 |
| So did Nibelcole kill Shido? Reine discussing more so I think everyone now can guess what's up. The girls in lingerie looks hot too bad we barely saw anything. Kurumi licking Shido cute. Nice to see Sawa from Date A Bullet reappear for next week. |
| Hmm, so it's pretty much confirmed Kurumi is doing time rewind shenanigans to save Shido. It's like a reverse Higurashi now. lol Can't wait to see her past revealed. Reine was also dropping some suspicious info, like there's no way that's a coincidence. |
| ok, but somehow i miscalculated it, because i thought Kurumi's past would be told in episode 10, and i was wrong, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!!!! |

| GOD DAMMIT I CAN´T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE ALREADY This one was so gorgeous and cute, i really like that besides Kurumi being the main girl in this arc, they still are showing the others girls and making then have an appearance that is important and not leaving them aside Also Happy Birthday My Quenn!!!!! |
 |
| I think I was spoiled about Kurumi's plan last week on CR, so that kind of sucks since I was looking forward to the shock factor of whatever is coming. I'm still excited, but since I haven't even read the LN I haven't been able to even be surprised. This episode is still pretty good though. |
 |
| The next episode is gonna adopt Chapter 4 from LN Vol 16, gonna be sweet. Also seeing Kurumi arc getting adapted makes IV very much worth it, not that Mukuro arc didn't have its moments (Nia's needed a better adaptation, ep3 was disappointing). Kurumi and Shindo fighting with their bentos, so adorable. Also, Reine dropping some foreshadowing for the next arc... At the end of episode 12, we should get an S5 announcement, it cant go another way, if not that, fuck them all for stopping the best arc that had its middle and then making us wait without knowing further. |
 |
| Two things: 1) I don't like Kotori. But her adult version speaks volumes. I wish she could have looked this way from the very beginning.  2) Kurumi-hen has officially kicked off. We did see her friend in Date A Bullet if I'm not wrong. Bring on her past!  |

| The start of episode... LOL "Two pros are facing off, just like in manga!, I think I see their auras" Totally not Food Wars, LOL (plus the reacts) Kurumi is so cute flustering, cause Shido found out one of her weakness is she likes cats. Tho, part of them is acting, only some is true. Both had ulterior motive to make the other fall in love first, but the taste of food are the true deal. And Kurumi steals a lick on Shido's face. How Shido not get super flustered from that is... well... actually... Shido has always been somewhat of a block-head dense harem protag... (actually... couldn't Kurumi just constantly try it over and over with time rewind til Shido falls in love first?) ___ ___ ___ FK U Shido... getting cute girls dressed in their lingerie and going into your bed... AND all you did was pushing them out the door... could have at least talked with them and enjoy the view for a while. Especially right afterwards Shido gets "attack of the clones"... Tho he wakes up next day with no wounds... (probably a dream, part "wet dream, part nightmare") (that or Kurumi clones strikes again) BUT, younger girls are now older. Kotori sure grew some boobas. Yoshinon playing as the "wife"... so cute. Tohka, the Twins and Natsumi didn't change much... especially since we already seen the "grown up" version of Natsumi from her self-transformation... Muku just grew a tiny bit taller (probably from shoes) and dressed in Geisha cloth, maybe her booba is a bit larger too. Meanwhile... we got younger version of Origami, Miku, and Nia. Not really sure why they need Lolis to resist Kurumi's sexiness... I doubt Kurumi would turn into a Loli anytime soon. ___ ___ ___ Meanwhile Reina is teaching the girls what to do for Valentines. And Reina talks about her first and last love... While in mid, Kurumi shows up in Apron... and Reina returns back to the ship. Guess we don't get Reina's Choco. And Kotori never made choco before? huh? and while fail melting the chobo, there's a tiny bear in it... RIP bear. On the other hand... Origami is using 3D printer... that's cheating Origami. We saw what choco the girls made, and they look fairly normal, with exception of Nia's booba choco... I wonder what Kurumi made. |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| God I want Kurumi's valentines chocolate so badly nya~~ |
 |
| That Ambush just after waking up early in the Morning from Origami, Nia and Miku.... and their punishment for acting on their own lol Miku was so Cute, small Origami is as adorable as i remember her and then there is the addition of small Nia this time, she is adorable too =v= Nibelcole scores another kill. Reine is such a mother to Shin and too the Spirits too hehe Glad she and some other Spirits who didn't get much Screentime before actually get some more this season, too bad Reine went away early cause she wanted to observe from Fraxinus. Natsumi the all knowing and all rounder Spirit shines again helping the other Spirits out with her "basics" knowledge of Chocolate making, Good Girl🧡 That Chocolate from Nia though lmao and she presents her Chocolate with the smile of an Angel not too surprising she is pretty naughty after all only rivaled by Origami or Miku in beeing perverted  |
| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| Nice to see Kurumi in this episode. |
| Things are getting sweet.. Erm I mean things are getting wild! I'm kinda biased on opinion as Kurumi is my fav character, and seeing how all the alternatives she is creating still exist even after death exist in some kind of universe, and can talk to each other is kind of mind blowing lvl epic from a story point of view. I wonder if its iteration of her is building to try seal Shido from past experience of failing to kill him. I can only assume the start of the eps foreshadowed this Kurumi vs Shido sealing battle which has raged across time and multiverses over bento on the rooftop, while us as the viewer just begs them to go get a room already. Could this chocolate fest be truly the final showdown between the pair! Love it!!! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |

| Shido, you sleazy boy.. ;P Using Kurumi's love for cats like this.. Nice guess, Shido.. You guessed all 3 right.. ;P Miku, Nia, Origami indeed.. ;P Guessing girls like that in your bed, without seeing them.. You sure, Shido, you haven't done some things with them before?.. ;P Also nice scene overall.. ;P Milf Kotori.. Well.. Interesting.. Everyone turned older looking?.. And our trio we saw in bed earlier are younger.. Tohka, be careful, you'll eat all the choco at this rate.. Miku and Nia had interesting ideas about chocolate.. ;P Even if they didn't try them now, who knows about future.. ;P Hm.. How Reine is related to Shido.. Well.. Origami's body size figures are nice.. Though, I probably would enjoy more just real Origami in poses like that.. Or with wings.. ;P Not to eat.. But to appreciate.. Maybe hug.. Or something more.. ;P I hope Origami would be so kind as to make some present.. ;P Em.. Nia.. Your chocolate looks.. Interesting.. ;P |
| Didn't expect the ending, btw. Shit was so good. |
 This's my profile This's my anime list This's my reviews 🌸Would you be my friend?. I'd love to have an online friend.🌸 |
| Kurumi-ception. Dem bento's. A shokugeki? LMAO at the girls clapping. Dat lick. Valentine's day. LMAO at Shido guessing Origami, Miku, and Nia. Miku oppai and booty. Dat knock. Nibeelcole. Oh shit! They cutting Shido. LMFAO at Nia's chocolate. The 1st set of nipples in DAL and its chocolate. Definitely feels like a spit in the face considering they've been hiding nipples and nakedness as much as they can. Not only Miku's oppai, but her booty is lacking in comparison to DAL II. The pain. Oh look at that, the small chested Nia has large oppai now during the bed scene. Inconsistency is key this season. Shido going head first into Reine's oppai don't hit the same due to the reduction. So I guess Nibeelcole got bored and left because they couldn't kill Shido? |

| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| That lunch battle made me so hungry for Japanese cuisine! I'm gonna order one later. I can't believe he declined Miku's offer to take care of him! I love their adult forms, especially Kotori; she looks hot! I'm not into lolis, but Miku's form is very cute! I like Origami's chocolate. However, I don't think I can eat such a work of art. |
| Rather bland episode, even the fanservice was boring. |
Tatsama said: DAL is like a totally different story to quintuplets or nisekoi. The harem tag is misleadingAs a Huge fan of DaL I want to see this story evolve but understand that it is a harem and it ma hinder the bigger picture. Yet I find that having so many different characters that are "main casted" hinders the quality and excitement of the main hero ultimate decision to who he will pick but at this point he either pick tohka or the last girl ever to be written into the story do to the fact he needs to do the "right thing" and either pick none or one. unless it chooses all of them in which case is lazy writing |
