| Wait, are all those angels chicks? No wonder they were so desperate to get El. After losing Michael, it must have been quite tough for all those ladies. Gabriel: We are all your servants now, El. Have us do anything, if you know what I mean. *wink wink* El: ...I need an adult. Gabriel: We are all adults here, El. *wink wink* El: Iiiiiii... |

| What I'm waiting for is to see Nina turn into a dragon and go berserk again! I was really hopeing she was going to this episode.. Haha loved charioce's line on the bridge when Nina found out he was Chris. Makes we wonder what Charioce thinks of Nina and how he would react when he finds out she can turn into a dragon. |

Nayrael said: I'm still surprised that Charioce is not trying to use Nina. I mean, who wouldn't want a dragon amongst their forces? Especially if that dragon loves you and is young&naive enough to be easily manipulable. But alas, he is leaving her alone... (if I remember right, he does know by now that she is a dragon) Yeah, I don't get why he felt the need to explain her who he was either. Keeping a persona she likes was way more practical. But that exchange was strange as a whole. Was he encouraging her to escape with his offer to dance again? (And other things were strange as well. Like, I know Nina is 17, but c'mon, people obviously don't only act on the principle of fun, and Nina's fun has already cost a lot to demons. Also Nina and Co are in the dungeon because they took part in a terror attack and an assassination attempt on the king - shouldn't he also care about that? Nothing says to him Nina doesn't want to kill his real self. Just... I get what's the general outlines of their positions and plot progression are, but dialogue could be much, much better.) |

I think he might have some kind of complex. While most people would try to reduce the number of potential enemies and get new allies, he seems to try to make new enemies and doesn't do anything to get allies (even for Jean, he doesn't want an ally but to quickly accomplish a goal). |

He sure doesn't do well socially (idk how it's even conceptually possibly to successfully govern like that). And yeah, he likes presenting ultimata in this "deal with my strength" manner. But then he seems to hate the gods passionately, so maybe they're special, since we see him trying to convince Kaisar and toying with him a bit, also somehow he managed to become the king without attracting too much attention to the killing. I mean, on one hand, Charioce seems blunt, on the other, he doesn't say anything and likes to masquerade, has this secret facility... I hate so much when a character doesn't add up, sigh. What I don't understand is when he says to Jeanne that if she supports him and other believers abandon gods, nobody, even gods, will have to die. He has clearly expressed his burning desire to kill all gods. So he was outright lying this time? |

In short time, he brought hell to demons, made them servants of the humans. and even proved to be stronger than gods. In short, he did more than any King before him. One day, the high-ranked humans might grow tired of his Absolutism, but not before he earns humanity some more goodies and has an heir they can replace him with. The difference might be in details: if Jean doesn't agree, the angels will die. If she agrees, the angels will merely become servants or slaves in his empire. Additionally, if Jean agrees, then the more religious humans would become more loyal and there won't need to be a need to stop a revolt. So, as he said, less lives would be lost. He does seem to have a soft spot for the common folk after all. |

Nah, I don't mean why he is supported, I mean it in practical sense - it's unclear how a ruler can function well without trusted people to delegate stuff. That's probably because of design team limitations, but it'd be better if we saw some of his closer interactions with subordinates in court or in battle. There must be some. And yeah, he is an impressive figure, years since gone historical, that's what is often lost in shipping wars, imo - he is a conqueror, that's miles past common moral. I would love to see him succeed in his plan of giving magic to people, even if dying or breaking with Nina in the process. Stuff like this normally does never happen in fantasy, but actually - why not? Oh, I haven't thought about that option. However he said a number of times that he was going to kill all the gods... And it's true that we haven't seen him killing humans. Normally Kaisar should've been killed for highest treason, for example. Charioce always evacuates commoners too - they talked about evacuation again in this episode. Even though he also creates danger. |

It's not like he needs to do anything here: he inherited the throne from his father (or his uncle or whatever). So everything should have been in place already, he just needs to use it. After all, this doesn't seem to be a Feudal Monarchy but an Absolute one (as is common in Fantasy Fiction made by Japanese). I do accept that what he does is evil, but damn if part of me doesn't enjoy what he has accomplished. Humans going from Pushovers to the Big Bad Badasses is quite a refreshment to see. Especially in this setting where they were constantly used as playthings in the game played by Angels and Demons. |

| Goddamn the hypocrisy and brainlessness is so strong in this episode. I hope this is intende, because if it is not there must be something wrong with the script writer's brain recently. Good Rita moments, so refresing and interesting. |

Especially in this setting where they were constantly used as playthings in the game played by Angels and Demons. Nah, he said to Kaisar he was a bastard ("son of a lowly concubine") and couldn't even set foot in the castle 10 years ago. And he is Charioce 17th, while his father is Charioce 13th, he also mentions in that conversation that he had to work for his throne. If they have the same inheritance rules he had to prove his legitimacy and got rid of at least three other kings (since they were numbered). The anime glosses over it afterwards, but that's what they themselves had written. I agree that it's good to see humans biting back. I wonder why many viewers see this only as a story about oppressed demons. While demons sure are oppressed and turning humanity into slavers is no good, as well as inducing xenophobia, in the context of the previous season humans must be seen as true underdogs. In Bahamut-1 gods and demons ruined Charioce's father, wrecked Anatae and were dicks towards humanity. Charioce's mother is also most likely dead, and I think it happened during that catastrophy. rorimoe said: And yet she even has to doubt, I haven't really seen cheerios lying and she serve for quite sometimes her hesitation is just because she is a sheep, a slave that is so dependant on gods already. She has a chance to end the conflict and refused. I think that for her and her alone it's more profitable to not betray gods, since they're willing to go to lengths to save her, need her child and see her as a symbol. But it's true that gods are less kind for the rest of humanity. |
| Loved Rita's every moment, she's so fun and chill to watch!! I'm glad she has more spotlight opportunities Nina's moves were so badass! and as always, cute and funny. Obviously she could have broken free from that thing in her ankle (forgot its name) and she didn't. She finally realized Chris/Charioce.... Speaking of Charioce, want his story so bad! I like him because he worked his ass off and became the king, made society not so dependable on gods and stopped the fear of demons. I know slavery is not good, but it's inevitable. Whoever has the power has the ability to do whatever they want. Good and evil always come together. Just can't see him as the only bad guy, since the gods are really being suspicious. The demons had their evilness in the past, so now they're the underdogs. Pretty fair to me :P Nayrael said: I'm still surprised that Charioce is not trying to use Nina. I mean, who wouldn't want a dragon amongst their forces? Especially if that dragon loves you and is young&naive enough to be easily manipulable. But alas, he is leaving her alone... (if I remember right, he does know by now that she is a dragon) Charioce doesn't know she's the dragon. She's arrested from being accused as someone suspicious who could have a connection with the dragon. So her secret it's still a secret from him |

| Rita I missed you 😭 |
| Welp that prison break failed but now Rita can help everyone do real prison break out now. ~Great episode!!! |
 |
| I didn't really like this episode tbh The pacing felt a little off and continuity was a little weird as well, with the umbrella being shot out of her hand and then in the next scene she has it again. I don't know, it just didn't feel as polished as the other episodes up until this point. |
This is come from the PV 3, definitely the Great Escape |

| The prison breakout vibe reminded me at the Impel Down arc in One Piece and I liked it. loled at the part when the older woman was wondering if Nina was crying in her cell, that smirk face in the next moment was awesome xD seeing her kicking ass was great too. But I felt so bad for her afterwards, when she realized who Charioce is. Damn, that ripped my heart to shreds :( Looking forward to the war between Charioce and the gods, just in case Jeanne won't be able to prevent it. Also dat face when Rita appeared in front of the cell haha. Due to the lack of Favaro I'm hoping they will make up for it with the next episode. Overall, extremely enjoyable as always. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Really great episode here. I loved all. and that end card ^^ 5/5 |
 |
| Well, well.. In the end Charioce is actually the only one who cares for his people... The meeting of Nina and him was also well done. Not very surprising he actually wants to save his people. I simply can't see him as antagonist at all. Even if people starts rioting (for whatever reason, really?) Not when the gods are scheming to usurp their power again, playing with trust of Joan's offspring and demons would just slay everyone if given the chance. At least from the look of it Sofiel seems to oppose what Gabriel is now doing, I bet it leads her to switch sides probably (or aid them at least). For a sec, Joan had the chance to end this conflict peacefully yet she chose her pride over way to prevent this bloodshed. I really hope someone blames her for it in the future (not that her morals means anything right now after killing tons of helpless demon children and disfiguring her own child to reach her goals - from her character perspective it's understandable one can only wonder how would everything end if she said yes here). Sadly, the war is inevitable now. |

I don't know, it just didn't feel as polished as the other episodes up until this point. She was holding it with two hands to quickly slide down the cable. So having one hand let go just means she is no longer descending along the cable and has to use it like she did at the entrance. Your just not paying attention. Fair enough, I didn't see that she had kept her left hand on the black umbrella when I saw her fall into the black background while grasping at air. I must have looked away for (literally) 1 second and missed it. |
| Very Nice episode! We got no Kaizar or Favaro this episode but good to see that Mugaro can now talk and regained her true divine angel god power! Rita is in the process of wrecking havoc silently against all those prison guards! LOL Jeanne is afraid of spiders! we got 1 weakness there! Angel Gods are now declaring war to human as as usual humans are blaming the king! Nina is enjoying creating chaos just for Jean to escape but what wrong timing for Charioce to show-up. Nina got a bit weak just because she finally knew that handsome guy she had dance with is none other than the King. Nice! Rita finally found Nina! 5/5. |
 |
| Nina seemed kinda heart-broken after the reveal :< I sure as hell still hope that Charioce turns out to be more complex character than just bishie, badass and villainous king... He didn't look like he was playing with Nina's feelings, or even making fun of her - they better not ruin it in the future episodes, dammit! Sadly other than that it was a really meh episode, sooo uneventful! Jeanne d'Arc is afraid of spiders. Great. |
  |
| Arrogant gods using her child as a war weapon and she can't see that? Is her stupid or is it just a facade? |
 |
| And Nina finally found out that her lovely guy is the fuc**** king! |
 |
| Nina and Jeanne end badly, although the episode was full of tension and action!!! The Nina´s surprise was incredible when discover her "blue prince"!!!!! Xd |
| man, Rita is awesome. Easily one of the best characters :D Before the start of this season I was wondering if we'd even see her again in S2 with a different MC and she definitely didn't disappoint so far! |
| Rita is the true hero this show really needs. |
Nightfade said: Honestly feel like I am the only one who likes the evil king. I ship him and Nina so hard TBH. Nah, you'd be surprised, he's got quite a lot of fans actually. |
| |
| Another pretty good episode. That's good, because the first part of the series has been sort of a disappointment compared to season 1. |
| your waifu is shit |
| 9 episodes to get to Favaro, and not even two episodes later I'm dropping out of this. I've realized he wouldn't be able to save this trainwreck of a season. I'm totally disconnected and immensely uninterested at this point. I don't think I'll ever understand how we went from s1 to whatever the hell this is supposed to be. |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| the animation in the cart scene was wonderful, and rita is the first and only loli i'm really liking! |
 |
| Great episode finally she realized that his hot guy is Charioce. |
| Didn't expect Nina to be blushing when she met Charoice, well she finally knows her 'true love' is a murderous king |
 |
| The angels are as manipulative as ever. It's obvious they're just using El for their personal vendetta instead of actually genuinely wanting to reunite him with his mother. Sofiel looks like she's questioning Gabriel's decisions though so I have a gut feeling she'll switch sides. As always, Charioce is one step ahead. Jeanne and Nina were so close to escaping. Not sure how Jeanne's faith will play into all of this. She's as stubborn as ever. Nina finally realized her first true love is the king she detests. Rita to the rescue. Gods are declaring war against humans. |
 |
| Manipulation is the real name of this war. And about time Nina finds out who she is dealing with. Her heart must be fked up after finding out.. now how will she trigger her dragon form? o.o |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| oh nice, El can now talk again! Rika breaking into prison to get everyone out was epic!! Finally, Nina knows that it was Charioce who she was dancing with all along. |
 |
| Damn it, Charioce. In one single move, you turned a cheerful Nina into a sad Nina. She and Jeanne got close to escaping as well. Luckily, best girl Rita is on hand to rescue them. |

| Nina finally found out that she has shit taste and Rita is blowing shit up. This was a pretty good episode in comparison to what we usually get. |
