I think that they're all real braves. Remember how that the goddesses power was divided into 6 petals? What if it got divided into 7 because Flamie killed all the strong braves so since there are only weak braves left, the power got divided further to compensate?

Ah... this is one of the best anime I've seen in a while. At the leadt, it's been really well made. Story, action, designs, world, etc all these have been damn good so far. Animation for the action may not b the best, but I'd rather have not so great animation wuth a great story like this.

Honestly, whoever wrote this is brilliant. Really difficult to tell who's the fakr.

though,,, princess sudden psycho behaviour IS abit suspicious
The most annoying thing about some anime is that they don't know when they've died...

This anime finally got at least a little bit interesting. We'll see if the wait was worth it or not. I really hope the author has the balls to actually make someone the bad guy rather than going the "ALL of them are braves because reasons" route. Although, at this pace, I doubt we'll get to the conclusion of this in this season.

If we assume that the fake one knows they're fake, so far I say it's either Nashetania or Chamo. Nashetania because of her usual self and in this episode she also looked like she tries to hard to show everyone how much she cares about mission with all that going crazy in the temple. The fact that her character song is "Dance in the Fake" doesn't help, either. Chamo because she appeared right after Nashetania, Fremy and Goldof saw that Adlet is already there with activated barrier. That could be her who activated it and she just hid herself somehow in the temple after activating it and waited till Rokkas see enough to suspect Adlet of activating it (also I think that's why they'll suspect Adlet in the next episode like the trailers told us in the beginning).
If we assume that the fake one doesn't know they're fake, then it can be pretty much anyone, but Adlet is on the top on my list because of that weird dream in episode 1.
So far I don't even suspect anyone else, it couldn't be Hans who activated the temple since from what Mora was saying it seems they were hanging around for some time yet Mora didn't see Chamo for a long time. I don't suspect him also because he keeps trying to convince everyone there sure is a fake one among them instead of trying to defend "there are 7 this time" theory (or just being quiet). That is a stupid move if he was a fake no matter how you look at it. Sure, you can say he does this to make everyone not trust each other, but that would make them aware and wary and why would the fake one want that? Isn't it easier to just keep pretending it's 7 this time and then kill everyone when they're not expecting it? I don't suspect Mora for the same reason.

Humpty is obviously the red herring here, but he could also be the fake... Assuming the writer assumed we will think that he is a red herring. My vote, however, goes to Neshetania, purely because she is sketchy as hell. Ever since that chat she had with Adlet in ep 1, and then when she suddenly attacked him in ep 2(i think) and now she freaks out and destroys that tablet? Come on that has to be a give away right?

Also their culture is pretty similar to mayans, who had tattoos, didn't they?

They probably didn't have time due to making the new ending, but yeah some scenes were bad. Lets hope they fixe that for the BD version. The new character's face were well done however, they really took the time to do it properly.
BTW I thought that that flying fiend that passed right above them was seriously cool looking. Looked like some demon version of a phoenix or something.

seems fremy killing the candidates for self-defence is not what happened

trust all in the rokka mark then?
that confession of fremy killing the candidates to lead the weaker ones to be choosen seems hard to explain, only thing coming to mind is she was trying to be a single hero like the flower hero

can already feel the tension of goldof over adlet xD
goldof stuttering "I-I'm not concerned.." xD
and seeing adlet and goldof talk, goldof is so huge..

bombers fiends? wow they're getting more advanced
and a talking one too :o

the salt saint continues to get nominated :D

nashetania's anger fit..

and finally all 7 got introduced, now that "trust in the mark" is less valid as reason...
now fremy will have to explain more clearly what she wanted to achieve by killing the candidates

There were some scenes where the faces looked weird but overall this might be my favourite episode yet of this anime. The new characters look great as well and the CGI looks fine tbh which is something I'm grateful for.

A definite 5/5 and I can't wait to see what they'll do next time.

I'm pretty sure that Nashetania is the fake, but I think she doesn't even know that she is... and thinks she is a real brave.

That freak out really set off my theory crafting, plus while watching the opening (I do it WAY too much, its a really good opening though!) I have seen little details that might hint that she is the fake, I mean the part where she just wakes up in a field alone with cloudy/possible stormy weather... kinda weird.

Idk just my thoughts, I go on and on about anime that I really like.

Well since one of them is a fake, I'm guessing they're going to cut out one character? I hope it's one of the females, because 3 guys and 3 girls in a group is a better balance and doesn't look like a harem party.

Well according to the first episode 300 years ago there was 5 women and 1 guy in the party. Story doesn't say if it ended in a harem, but I've got the feeling it didn't.
And yeah, that's not a priority since it's not a harem story anyway.

Well, if we not discount a fake, 3 guys 4 females is still more balanced than a LOT of anime.

Somehow I doubt romance will play any part in this story that much beyond Goldof's yandere vibes towards people.

unless the fake mark also gives immunity to the poison, since the poison is apparently the demon god's doing it should have ways to be immune to it, same as all the fiends should be naturally immune to the poison

but anyway they can't test that idea until the find a way to turn off the fog barrier

I see the novel is still on-going so unless this goes for an anime original end, it looks like we wont know who it is by the end of the season =/. That's assuming it takes the entire season to actually get out of the temple and reach Howling Demons.

Should be an interesting journey with everyone watching their backs along the way.

Well they're not handling things very well, so it comes off as a defeat the boss anime. If Flamie's motivation really is to defeat the boss then she wouldn't have been so eager to kill the chosen, she would have at least tried to reconcile as killing them would mean that she wouldn't succeed. Such an obvious lack of coherency doesn't point to a clever anime like you want people to believe, but a simple nonsensical little boy beat 'em up.

That's because some peoples -like you- wrongly interpreted what Fremy and Adlet said. Fremy never said she was killing brave candidate in order to kill the demon god. She never said that. Adlet said "she may have been an enemy before for some reason, but right now, her goal is to defeat the demon god, which makes her our ally". And Fremy approved the fact that right now she was wishing for the demon god's defeat just like any rokka.

None of them stupidly said that she was going around defeating rokka candidate with the idea of defeating the demon god in mind. YOU assumed this. And YOU should pay a closer attention to the dialogue in episode 4. There is no lack of coherency, there's a lack of attention from some of anime watchers.

Far worse than the point you're talking about here (that will be talked again soon in the anime anyway), I've seen dozen of comments saying "pff, that's stupid, they just need to go to the enemy's territory and the fake will die from poison".
Like, where were those peoples looking at in episode 3 and 4 when they explained that no one can enter the fog when the barrier is activated and no one can leave it either?
Those same peoples are either complaining about Nashetania's behaviour being stupid or that she's suspicious because she panicked. Well, there was enough reason to panic. Nashetania's behaviour has been very logical so far and in character.
It's those kind of anime watchers that afterwards complain that things don't make sense and are stupid. How about first paying attention.

Dude, my post is RIGHT THERE, nowhere do I say this. How do you think you can follow anything when you can't even read a post. You pulled the same nonsense with other anime too. You are not capable of following anything, you are just making up all sorts of nonsense in your head and then attacking people when they don't agree with your imagination.

That's pretty clear. There is no lack of coherency, you say there is. You are doubting Fremy's motivation to kill the demon god because she killed the brave candidate, which is proof that you didn't follow properly the dialogue in episode 4. And I don't see the need to put you in ignore list. You seem the one bothered by my presence, not the contrary.

Its a common problem with adaptations and also most likely why they spoiled 7 braves right in description(to make it clear it is not just another action show)

Hell I have seen people going around and calling this a shounen. I understand when that misinterpretation happens due to misrepresentation(certain adaptations this year), but Rokka so far made it very clear that it is more about characters than fighting.

I guess it is too hard to separate stereotypical expectations for an average mal reader. Especially since a lot of people on MAL community have attention span of a goldfish.

nah, it's just too hard to read the synopsis before watching a show
or maybe some confuse ignorance with keeping low expectations
anyway, talking about users is boring, talking about the show is more interesting

doubt the sun saint vanished for no reason, since fremy didn't try to kill her, that's going to come back later
wonder if there is some saint run sect doing shady things in the background and the sun saint is part of that

she didn't really try to kill the chosens to be rokkas, she was wary of them cause she knew what she did would make her very suspicious
if she did really try to kill them she would have run after them and not ran away like she tried to do before adlet forced her to follow him

about not succeeding, she was apparently convinced to be able to do it alone, for some reason she didn't explain yet
