| ABEMA Premium weekly early release. Monsters come wrecking in Leonis's past life when he was 12, and being a hero then, it defintely shows as compared to the travesty now. A call from Elfine has the higher-ups worry that the UK6402 Void beneath 7th Assault Garden hides its presence quite well due to the design of the aircraft, and it's hoping that they don't need to deal with a large entity. As both Leonis and Riselia are away at the orphanage, things take a dark turn as the possible void Lord may be accessing valuable information that can put the entire aircraft on jeopardy. As 7th Assault Garden turns into defense mode from the indefinite Void Stampede, the Holy Swordsmen are also ready, as much as both Leo and Riselia to defend the Garden. Even as Leo tries to use his Demon Lord powers, being in his human state severely cuts his potential...and the Void certainly knows him...one of the old members of his party: Arakael Deongradis. Yelp...this episode is just a snoozefest, a set-up for the action incoming. |

| Only here to make the obligatory "ArE yOu SuRe It'S 5tH ePiSoDe? I cAn OnLy FiNd 4 EpIsOdEs" coz I definitely cannot see the "Abema Premium weekly early release" in Bold at the start of the #1 comment. |
ohhhhhh okay. thanks for clarifying that. several of the shows that I am currently watching this season, people keep putting out that episodes are out ahead of what I am seeing. I was wondering why 😂🙏🤝 |
| The story here is just as meh as "Strike the Blood" STB has tons of fanservice to compensate for it's lack of good plot though This one literally has nothing It's either competent writing or fanservice The show can't be good without at least one of them |

| This whole entire episode was just yapping, not very epic. |

| Everything seemed peaceful so far but suddenly the city's swarming with voids. From the looks of it the voids are creatures/people from the past? How did they turn into void. |
 |
| The action was really tame, wasn't feeling the animation. Still, so far the world building is cool so it's got that going for it. |

| @MegamiRem maybe it has something to do with human technology warping/evolving them. |

| It never fails to amaze me how many people continue watching a show they think is bland or don’t like. It’s episode 5 of a 12 ep series. If you don’t like it at this point, you probably won’t. It’s ok to let it go. Another solid episode with some funny moments between Leo and the girls. Honestly would’ve made sense to get that flashback scene last week during the ambush episode, though. I do feel like a lot of the dialogue could’ve been cut and the action skipped to because it dragged at times. Still, a solid episode |

| This show is so utterly tedious... so a very corny scene with Leo as a young 'hero' slaying really dumb and cliche low-effort monsters at a medieval town... remind me again why is he a "demon lord" if he's a hero? Then we go back in time to 2085 where it's always the 80s inside the spaceship control room with old guys and pretty young women arguing over "the voids". Which dragged on and on and ON like the last time. Oh god those horrible CGI bats! But of course the futuristic civilization needs to be saved by cute teenage girls with speshul powers... this thing is like a pile of bad cliches piled on top of each other. I feel like I've said this before. What was it with those fat kids eating at the table? And then there's a cgi hydra.. was this written by a 5 year old And then to tie it all together (pun intended)- TENTACLES |

| So there was another flashback with Leonis before he got murdered and it showed him as a strong young kid and with an ominous warning from the older guy that Leonis' strength will be his undoing. Back to the present time for this series, the voids have attacked the power plant and a stampede has taken place. Even though the voids were mostly CG I thought they looked good and both Riselia and Leonis showed some impressive combat moves. I liked the brief comedic Shary moment and even Blackus showed up to help Leonis. Riselia has been kidnapped and one of the voids recognizes Leonis so it looks like the voids were monsters from Leonis' earlier life. |
| That battle with the void lord and the stampede was very interesting, leaving us with a very intriguing cliffhanger. However, if the designs and animations are gorgeous (especially the girls), why was this battle so poorly animated and with such a low framerate? Other than that, good episode. |

| So Bad. - It was unnecessary to make the general incompetent to make Elfine a "genius" just for the Stampede to happen. - The lack of Holy Sword user as the military is very off. Makes no sense for the humongous Holy Sword academy to exist, but no one is utilized as part of their military. - Selia should be the least in shock that Leonis is that powerful. He literally resurrected her ffs. - The Leonis flashback fight and Sakuya fight was too stiff. The animation couldn't keep up But I still really like the donut maid servant, and Leonis still carry the show for me |

| @Marinate1016 The beginning of STB can probably be considered good plot, but by the end it just fizzled out. Maybe it wasn't bad per se - It just became incredibly disheveled, disorganized and what little continuity it had in the previous season was lost. |

I can agree with it becoming a little hard to follow down the stretch. |

| it didn't start to get interesting until Leo started using level 10 magic |

| @MoistGal Not only that, some characters are at least amusing, they have some kind of quirk that makes you enjoy it somehow, outside the fanservice. I m very disappointed with this series, the designs are so good, I expected Selia to be way more spicy of teasing, not to have such a bland personality to herself, I dont mind tropes as long as their work, no character in this anime is interesting to watch so far, no girl I want to ship with the MC, in fact the other girls are even WORST than Selia. Disappointment, I expected it to at least be enjoyable, the only thing that I want to know is the origin of the Voids, how that relates to the MC's past, and what happened from then to now. I m sure he is assembling his harem, but there is not a single girl to spike my interest... this has to be one of the least exciting harem casts I have seen for a good GOOD, LOOOONG while. Pity, these designs are good, especially Selia. I will finish the anime for sure, but I was looking to read the LN eventually, but now that I have an idea of the leads... I will eat the same plot told for the 1000's time with something just barely different to not be a 100% carbon copy, as long as it amuses me in the least, this is just, BORING. If I had to rate it so far, would easily be a 5/10, it is not doing anything bad or that makes me hate or extremely dislike but damm this snoozefest. |

| @Marinate1016 I loath to drop stuff, must not be the sole one for sure. Besides people like to have something to hate to comment. I dont hate this show, just expected it to be more interesting, major disappointment, doesn't mean I will drop it, and I will probably bitch about it the next time I comment to, but since it disappointed me so much already, won't be easy to make it worst, so I won't have such a negative reaction again. And hopefully it will get better by the end, but seriously this anime would immediatly become way better if Selia was more a tease, and when you look to her design and see the novel illustrations, you would think she would be that. Damm pity. |

| This is getting worse and worse I think a pair of tits could fix it |

| One simply does not kidnap best girl and expect to get away with it |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |

| @Nicoman- Your pretty boring, you wont accept msg or even friend request. Tits fix all you arrogant.... |

| NGL this anime's kinda epic, and nice buildup man, I could actually feel the tension rising. And daym isn't that cool that the city's headquarters or whatsthatcalled equipped with guns firing at void fleet?! EPICO FR. |
If you choose to do only what you know, you'll never experience the joy of being able to do something you couldn't before.  |
| Shary didn't have near enough screentime. They are neglecting best girl and her donut slice of life career. |
 |
| One of the enemies Leonis made in his young years as a brave hero, now a void. The connections from his era to Roselia's era are appearing. It's Tokyo-3! lol Noooo his waifu, bad tentacle roots |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Nice episode, but I dislike tentacle (tree roots). Come on.. tentacles on girl in 2023? wtf are we back in 2000? |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| That Creepy Old Man Is Now A Tree , What A Joke. |
| So the void leader ends up causing a stampede on the island and everyone has to find shelter from the flying voids. Riselia and Leonis work together to defeat the voids and encounter the main perpetrator Arakel Degradios. I like how we get a glimpse of Leonis' past life, it really adds depth into his character but I would've liked to see some sort of connection like same place different time. |
