KingYoshi said: I finally made it! It feels like a long journey through the absolute slog that was the first 5 episodes of this series. The reveal of the revenge plot and all of the edge that came with it was quite enjoyable. I hope this series continues with the same approach that was shown in the highlights of this episode. Though, the moments between the larger scale events were still really hard to watch. Surely dude isn't going back to the model student getting kisses on the cheek after "the power of friendship" speeches, or "troll rights,' speeches, or whatever other nonsense these characters are spitting back and forth to each other. I have hope, though admittedly, it is just a small vial of hope. If you followed the series you would know that there is literally no way he doesn't return to such daily life events. That's the best cover up he can have and his best chance to survive in there long enough to get his revenge. Going full edgelord crap would have him pitifully killed before he can kill a single other of his targets. he's a mouse in a lion den, leading a group of mouses, hunting the biggest and strongest lions there are. if yo uwant shounen battle crap where the protagonist can be stupidly direct with his opponents and somehow his opponents let him live because reason, I doubt this story will please you. Any of his targets would murder him the moment they find him out, and he wouldn't be able to touch them, let alone kill them. |

UnknownGhost5 said: So out of nowhere this just becomes a revenge story? What? Seems really random lol. There were plenty of hints that something was off though, and with it some of Oliver's previous behaviour makes perfect sense. |

| The fight against Milligan was fun. Nanao accidentally creating the seventh spellblade wasn't surprising. If anything it felt inevitable considering the title. What was surprising was the big reveal in the second half. It was obvious Oliver was hiding some big secrets but those secrets were a lot more extreme than I imagined. The first major death in this series being a teacher was a shock but was was more shocking was the Oliver used a spellblade to take him down. The torture scene was more extreme than anything I could've imagined Oliver would be capable of. Oliver repeating the word "wrong" gave me chills! This twist has definitely made me a lot more interested in this show. |

projekt_DKY said: WTF DID I JUST WATCH?? HOLY FREAK. THAT WAS A CLIFFHANGAR I DID NOT EXPECT. Sorry apologies to anyone that will dislike this comment, since I never read the manga in my life, so yeah that is a freaking Cliffhanger. This is a LN adaptation, not a manga adaptation. According to the author’s previous work, Tenkyou No Alderamin, in the afterword of the last volume, he mentioned that this is a story about humans. I have read 8 volumes of the LNs, a lot of human experimentation indeed. So you just watched a show about humans. Hopes this answers your question~ |

It's about time this got interesting! The first 5 episodes were a lot of nothingness but finally something interesting. Almost dropped this. I'm now looking forward to the next episode.
| @nhkam That's exactly how I felt. This really turned the notch up on a mediocre show. The fighting and powers used were great, the backstory is interesting (although feels a bit Harry Potterish) and now the MC actually has a purpose. |
| 2nd consecutive episode with quite nice action. Keep it going. Tbh, the twist did come out nowhere. |
| what a plot twist! all of a sudden oliver's past history got revealed and his personality just changed. fight scene between miligan and duo was great. oliver using Doctor Strange's power against dairus was also cool. this series is getting more and more darker. |

| You dug your own graves, Vera. |
| Why'd my happy little witch academia turn into murder hobo run? I liked the staff as introduced so far... Shame we're going to have to watch them kill la kill themselves. |
 |
| Now that was unexpected I didn't expect him to suddenly kill the teacher and then bring out an entire cult, curious to see what happens next. |
| Wtf the school staff is filled with criminals. Or is it more complicated than it seems? Oliver is strong, but he could only use his spellblade twice. Also, when will Nanao get her victory kiss man? At this point she could go behead a dragon and still not get it from Oliver. |
 |
| The show just got more interesting, glad we finally got the motivation/goal of the protagonist. |

| Non , Non , Non , Non , Non ... What A Joke . So , It's A Revenge Story Now . |
| So these teachers really are shytty! Its a kill em all anime!!!!! |
 |
| What a twist. Basically all the staff at this academy are part of an evil killer cult then, and Oliver has been biding his time, waiting for the opportunity to strike them down throughout. My internal rating of this anime has already improved. Spellblades are about as overpowered as a weapon can get. One of them can cleave through spacetime, and the other is capable of freezing time while visualising every possible outcome of a scenario. Oliver's cousins teleporting into the scene again, mysteriously... |
