Well that was kinda interesting.. Dat song. Go the FOOL! He really is firing things up. He should really watch out for his back in battle tbh.

Jeanne has some interesting powers there.

Everyone (even another clan) heard about that mysterious guy stil in enemy's side. Himiko encouraging Nobunaga to fight. He's trainer and creator of the robot? Strong power gets by people with strong will.

Nobunaga vs. the guy from the west. Jeanne's vision came true, but at the same time her pendant resonant with Nobunaga's weapon, and became stronger. He got the pendant, and won.

That episode was EPIC.
The action was EPIC.
Now Nobu has 3, maybe 4 Regalia's: Lightning, Fire and Wind. Kaguya's 'Purity' Regalia can be counted as a 4th, right?

Really liked the action in this episode, even though it was a bit on the short side.
I'm glad that Caesar got what he deserved, he was starting to annoy me a lot.
Can't wait to see what the Uesugi clan will bring up in the future.
Nice to see that Himiko is up and running again.

So is Caesar dead? That wasn't clear. I hope he is; he pissed me off. Only complaint is he didn't die horribly enough.

Anywho, this was a good episode. Dat music, dat fight, dat horse thingy. Oh and Nobunaga already has 4/5 regalias? That's a bit fast. Unless they plan to add more regalias later on.
Either way, he should be unstoppable now that he's controlling 3 elements and that purity power up.

PS: for some reason, Nobunaga's sister reminds me of Inori from Guilty Crown.

I couldn't stop laughing in this episode with the horse coming out of no where and then them having to explain how it got there. Then the regalia of purity popping out of no where because of the thing she said. To be honest it was great, just kind of ridiculous.

She's had the regalia on the entire time, just drew its power out now. But yea the bikes made me laugh as well, thought the fight would have been better without them.

Pretty good episode though, some nice action, and got a (maybe) hint as to King Arthur's plan. Hopefully that's the end of Caesar.

Nobunaga's not gonna have much competition with all those Regalia.

The ED shows two Giant Battle Armours with Takeda's forces, with one white and one black.

I assume that the white one is Caesar's, but King Arthur might send another of his Knights to fight against Nobunaga.
It would be very interesting if the Knight manning the black Giant Battle Armour is Hannibal. :P

Was that really Kenshin? I hope not...no it can't be. He's supposed to be equal on manliness with Shingen, what happened? >__<

Caesar is alive. He's not dead unless I see a sword pierce his chest >__>

Now that Nobunaga has 3 active regalias + Ranmaru's relatively dormant one, isn't he OP now? I imagine his next enemy's going to be more powerful I wonder how they'll do it.

Lol. From my experience he's typically portrayed as having feminine qualities in most of the stuff I've seen him. Such as a feminine voice, long hair or being physically androgynous. Take the Sengoku Basara version of him for example. He has a similar voice to the Kenshin in this show, and is also androgynous. I think I might have even read a manga or watched a few shows where he was a full blown female. I've also read that it was disputed if he actually was female or not by historians, so I'm guessing that's why he's usually depicted in popular culture as having feminine qualities.

On a slightly different note. This Show has really been picking up lately, and its unfortunate that so many people dropped it so early.
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Yeah. I said it.

Ah, by Wands in the title, they meant the Ace of Wands.. since it also symbolizes a new beginning or the force/powers that light the way to that new beginning, i kinda feel like this indeed embodied the episode.. they're now starting to move on from the previous tragedies and having Nobunaga obtain the Regalias that are rightfully his give him the power to start his campaign of gaining dominion..

man, this show really has more things to itself than just what you see up front.. and thankfully i'm also liking what i see upfront.. that of a high spirited mecha show with historical references, however vague they may be.. btw, that overnight castle actually exists (search Sunomata Ichiya castle) and not an optical projection, though being constructed overnight is only a legend (perhaps actually two to three days).. and yes, it's the real Hideyoshi's idea of building it..

Was getting real tired of Ceasar's shit. I'm glad he's gone now. If Nobunaga kills off those annoying little imps soon, I'll be even happier.

That Kenshin had completely different kind of masculine righteousness and excentricity to him.

Finally Caesar got his behind kicked although he's unfortunately not dead yet. I hope he doesn't turn out to be like one of those classic annoying Gundam antagonists that hate the protagonist, scream a lot every time they fight, get beaten in every episode yet manage to survive till the very end.

Awesome mecha action this episode, I hope Caesar is at least down and out if not dead. Even if he is alive I don't see what he can do against the Fool armed with three (maybe 4) Regalia. Maybe he'll come back with a more powerful mech, a la the Tallgeese or Epyon. I have a feeling those imps will be appearing again as well. They're nice loli/shota fanservice, though they both look like girls (so loli/trap service, then).

Glad this show got 2 seasons, I'd hate for them to've had to have compressed all this into the first 4 episodes. This story's gonna be epic once it hits its climax; I'm predicting a journey to the Star of the West and a fight against some kinda rainbow super-Armor piloted by King Arthur (just speculating).

I want this show to be good, but it's getting more generic. :( I read a comment on Random C equating the regalia with Pokémon, which is more and more seeming to be the case about this show on the whole.

What y'all think? I already dropped one Nobunaga show, shall I drop this one?

Finally Ranmaru is more likable... Glad she isn't just blonde hair and tits.

Also, if anything, this show is good at making every episode have a climax. Like, a lot of shows have some slow episodes and some fast ones but for The Fool, each episode has something interesting or BIG.

Is this show gonna have a direction or still do the "Gotta Catch 'Em All [Regalia]" theme...? Hmm.

Thought things were moving too fast the last few episodes but looks like things are getting good again.

Think they have it reversed; shouldn't King Arthur be the one serving Emperor Julius Caesar? England actually was a vassal of the Roman Empire and it was due to the fall of the empire that England lost its protection went to into war and chaos, which lead to the period that the story of King Arthur took place.

Is it just me or do these battles seem largely uninspired and devoid of suspense? They just keep trading blows until one of them magically overpowers the other. I wish they would go deeper into the lore of ley lines and how it ties into the current tension between the East and the West, but maybe I'm just expecting too much from this show.
