| Another one of those buildup episodes although Shido is the luckiest guy here. He gets gifts and comfort from his harem. It seems they're not leaving out any girl out of the group. Tooka's was the cutest and innocent imo by putting his head on her lap. And oh course, there's Kurumi whom I'm expecting to have an important role for this arc. |
 |
| Kurumi San she's still beautiful as ever. just can't stop re watching the whole series & Episode 1 again and again. Boi He's one lucky bad**rd who got gifts from his team. TBH Tohka she suits him more than any other girls. She's (this time Tohka) the cutest thing ever. again he's the lucky one..... What do you guys think about it? |

| Yuzuru, Kaguya, Miku, and Nia are discussing something interesting. They're sharing their experiences of being kissed by Shidou. The kiss is an alternative way to seal the "seirei" powers. I like the scene where Tohka gives onigiri to Kotori. Kotori's reaction is adorable, and it seems like they reluctantly eat Tohka's homemade onigiri. I'm still curious, what's the deal with Shidou's onigiri? Does it contain poison? xD Tohka meets Shidou because she can't sleep. Here, Tohka asks about Shidou's well-being. Shidou is thinking about how to seal Kurumi's "seirei." I love the moments between Tohka and Shidou; they make a romantic couple. Shidou sleeping in Tohka's lap is definitely a highlight in this episode. They discuss the past, where Tohka expresses deep gratitude to Shidou for sealing her "seirei."  The meeting discusses the DEM, which is considered a skeptical method. The plan aims to protect Shidou. It seems that Wescott has received a message from Nightmare. Wescott has given the order to launch the bandersnatch. The robot appears fragile and easily defeated. Kurumi is really furious here. The Kurumi clones are incredibly powerful and numerous. Wescott's forces are also confused by the hostile condition of the city. It's an interesting episode, and the battle is becoming more intense. |

| @Ricky16 Kurumi barely gets any screen time here, as only her clones appear, attacking the bandersnatch. How would you summarize Kurumi in this episode? -_- |
| Finally, the war begins. As the battle with DEM approaches, the crew of Fraxinus busily and spiritedly prepare for it. The spirits work hard to make treats to cheer up Shidou and everyone else. The moment of the decisive battle draws nearer with each passing moment. The war commences, with both sides deadlocked until Isaac commands all units to launch. This is also when Kurumi enters the fray, destroying DEM ships. Simultaneously, AST troops are ordered to charge in and engage the Spirits in combat. However, when one of the DEM wizards targets the AST, using them as bait, Mukuro saves the leader by redirecting the laser back to the DEM Wizard herself (utilizing the Granzon-style Wormhole defense method). This prompts the AST to disregard orders and turn their attention to fighting against DEM instead. This war will be tough and last a while. |

| Nice OP. Really makes it feel like we're getting into something big. The spoilers tho 2:49 In Japanese she said ちんすこう (chinsukou) - chinsuko; traditional Okinawan biscuit made with wheat flour, lard and sugar. It sounds similar to ちんこ (chinko) - co- 12:03 "Even if I could go back to our meeting with all the memories I have not" foreshadowing? Holup, Nia can jam Beelzebub? I thought it was completely OP. |
 |
| A very funny first half for this episode, I especially loved Kaguya's teasing by the others. The second half sees the beginning of the big battle for Shido finally, looking forward to next week. |
| yooo they literally spoil us with in the Opening lol, but i kinda disappointed they didn't show Excited for the next episode !!! |
 |
| Legit tried to brute force a reason for why chupacabras are """lewd""" and thought it's because they suck their targets dry of their body fluids, but nope. "Chu~" -pacabras are the most obscene creatures ever for kissing goats to death. Kaguya's adorable. The nostalgia from the "That's so lame" spam hit like a truck, and Kurumi coming in cackling like a witch was unintentionally hilarious. |
| "Attention, please" You always have our attention anyways xD Though now that the final fight against DEM has started, I'm kind of worried about them. I mean as far as opposing them is concerned, there are plenty, but for supporting them, no one at all lol. That's what you get after playing bad guys for so long. Speaking of so long, the "maji hiku wa" girl made her seasonal appearance too. It might be well over 10 years since the first season, but her vocabulary hasn't changed even by an alphabet. Way to remain relevant. Also, at this point they should realize that Reine is phantom. She's giving enough hints already lol. |
 |
| The final peaceful episode before the big battle. Was nice seeing the girls recount their meetings with Shido and how much he means to them, realising how much they want to protect him. Of course, our usual Date a Live humour as well. Meanwhile Shido himself is just focused on saving Kurumi. Even in spite of his own physical weaknesses, he’s just worried about helping people. Tohka and Shido convo was so good man. Even with all the shit he’s in now he wouldn’t change a thing and is committed to seizing a future where everyone gets a happy ending. That’s why he’s a goated MC. His resilience and determination is amazing. This series started with he and Tohka meeting so it’s only right before the big battle it’s them spending an intimate moment. And it’s here. Mathers and Wescott’s forces enter the city to a nice greeting from none other than Kurumi! As usual, only has a few mins in the episode but steals the show with her aura lol. Can’t wait to see what she got cooked up next week. First two episodes have been really good. |

| Wow I thought half the season would lead into this battle but we are going in already, neat. Kaguya too pure for her own good. LoL |
| That opening would have been goated with some more Westcott, but interesting regarding the arcs to be adapted it hints about... I love the song much more than last season... There are some subtle spoilers, but they are a small fraction of the sheer amount of "wtf, that was crazy" things that are about to happen. The episode was really indulgent with the spirits for what is hinted to be one last time. Badly adapted or not in the prior season, you can see Nia really needing therapy (hugs). I don't remember that good, but I am sure Natsumi can do anything just about right. Rice balls would be ez... Not the first time Tohka provided emotional support to Shido. The other girls had their own lives, and Tohka... The CGI dread lives on, but could be countered by some good storytelling and direction. And of course, the ost by the goated Go Sakabe, who carries this show hard. There are just too many things to look forward to >_< |

| Kurumi snapping that neck just for the "Attention please!" was such a moment. No wonder she can steal the show with just a few seconds of screentime. |
 |
| half episode they were making jelly-filled donuts the other half they were just talking and only the last minute had some kind of action.... bad episode |
 |
| Got a lil funny bit at the start with the ero non-ero words lol. Looks like we have a big battle coming up already too. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| so it's Ratatoskr's small fleet against DEM's fleet which is five times as many. However, this city is home ground for Ratatoskr, and they have several snti-ship cannons prepared in the buildings to even the odds a bit. Kurumi joins in as well, and the small war has started! I'm puzzled at the japanese government in this anime. They allow a business company like DEM Industries to have an army of it's own? Or maybe DEM has people in the government? 30 battleships and thousands of Bandersnatch robots are enough to threaten a small country. looking forward to the next episode on how Shidou and the spirits will fight. Also looking forward how Kotori would lead. |
| The new op was alright I remember last season’s opening slapped |

| @Liddo-kun DEM is a company from England that supplies anti-spirit weapons all over the world, so it has a huge influence. |
| This will be interesting to watch unfold. |
| Second episode and the fighting is commencing, see the plans are coming into play. The erotic game is kinda cute, you had each girl taking their turn and then you have machu picchu It's perfect XD but regardless. Kurumi is still doing her thing, fighting off the DEM waves like she does alongside the covering fire. Feel that DEM's going to have to pull out their ace cards sometime soon, because that fight could quickly get out of hand. Since we know Kurumi has been saving Shido's behind for a while they always have to have a Plan B. |
 |
| Miyu Tomita's 2nd OP of the series, it feels a lot different this time. The Spirit girls taking about Shido and Yuzuru fumbling through her answers, though making different onigiri for all their dislikes, Shido's one is the most mysterious of them all. It's safe to say that Tohka feels the closest to Shido, and she needs to assert her position every know and then. With Ratatoskr and AST working together against DEM's forces, with Isaac and Ellen at the helm with their Bandersnatches and Nibeelcole, this is an all-out war, but what would it be without Kurumi herself invading the airspace. A hostile battle and onslaught, this will not be a solemn battle fight. |
 |
| Lets go! Finally we get to hear the OP The OP's of DAL are just so uniqe and deep, I cried 😭 |
| Tf was that wordplay they were playing lol. The OP visuals, it looked like culmination of everything happened so far, the hype is real. The girls trying to overcome their dislike, cute expressions. Nice Shido x Tohka moment too. The battle begins, they have home turf advantage even if they are outnumbered by a lot. |
 |
| "Watashitachi no datou hajimemashou" 🖤❤️ |
| Feel pain, think about pain, accept pain, know pain... Shinra Tensei! |
| The OP was clearly spoilery... but i didn't even care. That sequence alone told me everything; we are in for a ride, this is likely the final stretch, and it's gonna hit hard. Some people never change.  lol |

| @Syureria Love this Tohka lap pillow in the episode, the other highlight of this episode for me was them eating the onigiri with toppings they didn't like. Can't believe Kotori has the gene that is bad with cilantro, being a cilantro enjoyer myself. |

| Looks like we are gearing up for an all-out battle between DEM and Ratatoskr, with Ratatoskr being outnumbered but with the advantage of the spirits + Shido as the X factor. Nibelcole vs Kurumi clones going to be filling up the fight though. @Angry_By_Default First time I heard onigiri fillings being called Jelly-filled donuts lol. Tohka's donut was a big one. |
