@Ionliosite2

every time I look at the sword of salt

I get a feeling...that this broken pocket watch menou holds all the time,
might actually be akari in her final form



or is it just me? lol

Ok, she was somewhat interesting but such a shame she went out quickly. Also, I can't help but think that the gore was a bit underwhelming in terms of selling the impact as compared to, say, Berserk or the stuff White Fox puts out.

okayish...that Taboo is gonna be a great problem for Menou!
Manon's purpose was purely born out of hatred for the executioners since her very disturbing childhood!
hope next ep would be a lot of CHAOS!!!
5/5

I thought she was Ivory the whole time lol
her name is literally Ivory too after all

the real Ivory has actually appeared in the....anime? in what episode??


Haha, well, yeah she isn't Ivory, actually I think Flare said that that looked like Ivory but it wasn't that since if it was the second coming of Ivory then no one would have survived.

Again, saying who Ivory is is a spoiler since the anime having her appearing is already a hard foreshadowing lol, I'll tell you in DMs since this is an anime discussion.


could you DM about Ivorys identity as well

OH MY GOD... this... episode... REALLY took it up several notches! Granted, when I saw that Iron Maiden a few episodes back, I knew this was going to be a horror arc... BUT THIS IS A BLOODY (quite literally) NIGHTMARE ARC AND I AM HAVING FEAR AND ANXIETY OF THE NEXT TWO EPISODES!!!

So, is (was) Manon Akari's younger sister??? Manon's mom's last words... I don't think they were random.

And how is Menou going to deal with freaking Pandemonium now? If she beats her, she may as well kill Akari and end the show lol.

pandemonium and akari would be friends,
they both hate the church after all. pandemonium hates the church for what they did to her crush hero ivory

menou would eventually be friends too, its sooner than later she would also betray the church

No, Akari isn't Manon's sister. Her words aren't random, she wanted to tell her daughter that she had a sister, it will play eventually on Manon herself but we don't actually know who the sister is.

Wow that's interesting, SHE'S the pandemonium.

It seems like she's impossible to beat, can't wait to see how Menou will fight this.

Pandaemonium's words of the "Ivory hero" makes me wonder whether that refers to the the whole things turning white from Menou's flashbacks. And she makes it sound like the lost ones are used by others.
Could it be possible that that's the reality of the human errors with her supposedly being one? Wonder if the Faust might be responsible; use the Lost Ones to further their own purposes while also simultaneously justifying their executions all the while being able to look as saviours of the faith to the general populace, in turn strengthening the church's influence.

pandemonium says, ivory was forced(by the chruch) to save this boring world

in other words,
the world was legit in peril(due to the 4 major human errors) so ivory was forced to save the world

how could "evil" church play a big role in saving the world?

I mean the world being saved is in their best interest, the influence they built up amounts to nothing if everything goes down the drain.

I like this episode, it escalates quickly & innocent revealing (even Menou thinks that's his weakness. lol). Manon is not a strong opponent but his goal is achieved (not many villains reach his goal). I think Akari is the key of human error and don't forget AOT references.

thats like saying

"the police is evil for helping people in need, people being saved is in their best interest after all?"

I know there are many corrupted policemen/women but without police as an organization to maintain order,
there will be chaos everywhere.
people would eat each other,
quite literally

do you realize?
iF the church didnt do anything....the world wouldve ended,
simple as that

iF the church didnt kill all the lost ones,
there would be so many power struggles among the people who summoned the lost ones.
more power struggles means more conflicts, more conflicts means more people die, they could even trigger a war, world war even lol

and ultimately more human major errors would occur sooner than later,
meaning more continents could end up like the salt continent


point it out to me,
what bad things did the church do to the people so far?

only archbishop orwell who went astray due to old age and
when the executioner(also from the church side) exposed her....the executioner killed her for committing a taboo,
death penalty on the spot

@saifors

even when one of executioners went astray, such as; menou committed a taboo by protecting the lost one (akari)....another executioner (flare) didn't hesitate to kill her,

wow that was great!

I absolutely love this setting, Akari has the power of time in her hands but there are still things outside of her control. Though its questionable if her powers are actually limited since an actually rewind of the whole world affects everyone. Or maybe not Pandaemonium and thats why after countless resets she appears after all?

Absolutely hidden gem of the season. I sure hope this will get a second season seeing how this one is nearly over but the big mystery remains

Marathoning catching up on this series since epi 6, lol

But hit this episode...

WTF... the more I watch this series the more I think that whole Church shit is the real evil of this while series...

Manon's mom was the actual "hero" summoned naturally to the Isekai world... But the supposedly "evil" fell in love with her and decide not to have her do anything and live a normal life... Only to get killed by the stupid ass Church.

In my view, Manon actually have every right to get revenge against the Church.

Her story is truly sad... and part of it is caused by Akari's power.

(we also never saw what Manon's mom's power is, we just know it could have potentially countered Flare but would kill her daughter in doing so, and the mom decide to sacrifice herself over her daughter. A True Mothers Love)

___ ___ ___

As for Pandemonium, LOL

From previous episodes, Human Errors was made to sound like it literally went out of control in a way that also destroyed the pure concept person.

But I guess it's not really "out of control" and the person never "died" but rather they used their power so much, they lost a lot of memory and forgot about Common Sense and went "crazy" and started to use their power for fun. And the only way was to seal them into some other place.

Tho, this might be just Pandemonium cause she also have a sort of "immortal" concept.

___ ___ ___


Well... if the "Human Errors" aren't really "dead" but rather just "sealed" like Pandemonium...

Does this mean if Akari keeps on using her powers, the other "seals" would also slowly break and free the "human errors" (which would probably destroy the world, LOL)

But doesn't this also mean it indirectly saves Menou, cause Flare would never use the Salt Sword in the Future if the Human Error that owns the Sword is unsealed and recovered their sword. Thus making it so Flare never used the sword to kill Menou.

Well I would say it's not surprising that Manon acted like that after having her mother killed in front of her but it obviously went too far.. now the battle was pretty good but the whole Pandemonium thing is scary, especially with the little girl appearance to it

Quite the rebellious phase Manon is in with turning people into monsters and the weird way of giving birth (rebirth?) to say the least.

Well, that fuckin' happened, lmao.

I was a bit disappointed they have been cutting away from wounds. Like, when Manon had her arm severed, you don't see the severing, you just see it after-the-fact. But the whole string of events with Pandemonium was pretty graphic. So I guess they've been holding back a bit, unless there is an uncensored version I'm unaware of.

Overall, this was probably the best episode of the season, except maybe for the first one. For what little of it there was the fighting was pretty good, the plot was handled pretty well, and the general atmosphere has spun out of control. Hopefully we get a strong follow-through in these last two episodes.
