I sense jealousy coming from Melida lol. Rosetti's engagement subplot felt really cheesy though.

We also got Melida taking her study trip. The "date" between Melida and Vampir was kinda cute. Definitely not the usual place you'd go for a date lol

Rosetti's father showed. He ended up ordering the death of a person who supposedly had a "disease".

Kufa's and Melida's little date was cute, floating in the air like that.

It appears someone is framing Kufa.

I also think someone is framing Kufa, doubt it would be that obvious it's him, unless this is really a sub-par show. But that guy that slipped him that portion/whatever, made me think why did he do that? Was it for Kufa to eliminate someone or something else, pretty confusing stuff?

The other thing, why did they censored that guy with the disease? I wanted to see the gruesome details and check out how severe was it, or else how would we know. I also believe Pricket is a piece of shit for executing him in front of others, couldn't they've done a decent thing and deal with him in private.

But the "floating date" was really amazing, wished those things existed in real life, so we could go to them.

The more I watch this show the more unsure I am about Kufar's actual feelings toward Melida. I think she may have hit the nail right on the head when she said "you only see me as a child". I think he acts like a gallant knight and knows that she fancies him, but to him, he's obviously grown up as an assassin, without ever having unconditional love.

And now he has this lovely girl treating him in a way he's not used to, being a vampire assassin, and he's not sure what to do, or how to feel.

Good episode, bit of a silly story, pretend to be my fiance. I think the dad, Prichet, attacked the girl back at the academy and is trying to frame Kufar, so he can get Rosetti to marry his choice. There's something dodgy going on in that town and I bet he's at the bottom of it.

I keep forgetting the fact that Kufar is a vampire, or half vampire. So his attraction to Melida may be as potential prey, aren't vampires normally attracted to the blood of young virgin girls, particularly those with power of their own. But then he gave her, or ignited that power within her. Maybe so when it grew he'd be able to feed off of it?

That cave date date was really cute, but someone is trying to frame Kufa. It has to be the work of another vampire that has the same mana as Kufa.

Kufa looks very suspicious in this episode. Especially when he takes Melida in a date. That mystery spot will be a thing for sure.

Melida being jealous to Rosetti is cute, though.

I don't know anymore...

I really do think Kufa was the boy from back then, as he actually knows this place enough to know about this hidden spot but not enough for Rosetti to really knowing him, despite growing up there for a long time.

The thing with Merida and Kufa... I don't know, it's too odd. Merida DOES act like a child, so it feels really unnatural. I would rather see him with Rosetti. But now I'm not sure I want him with anyone... He sure has a dark past. Probably dark enough to hire him to kill Merida if needed (It's not as is that makes her father the nicest person, which we already knew)

In the flashback with the burning building the girl on the floor had red hair, the boy silver and he said she was a sister.

Later in the plot it was said that "Pricket" collected orphans as his own children.

So are Rosetti & Kufa actually orphans adopted by Pricket and Kufa was somehow involved in the burning down of the building and the mass-murder (as an earlier mission?)

Definitely some Vampire style induced dreams she's having and Kufa looking at her neck and covering it with his hand..

What's the betting the collapsing girls are having their Mana sucked out of them.

This looks much more interesting than the last arc
I do wonder about the pretend-love tho.. And whyever the author had to name the fiancé 'Dick'

Again I felt like some important parts have been cut short or left out. Or I just don't remember Kufa telling so much about himself. He didn't really tell much but lines like "do you expect an assassin.." or "In my line of work..." raise a certain suspicion I believe

The marquis obviously seems a bit fishy, especially with what's going on in his town.
Looking forward to this arc. Also has a bit of mystery again

Ok. this is just too obvious that Rossetti father is framing Kufa. He used "never to seen before" new "spell" that only he can understand, He told that suspect is Kufa (fiance of his daughter that he didn't choose) and overall he seems shady.

In flashback looks like the kids are Rosetti and Kufa, i wonder if they are somewhat related a sorphans, also Pricket reaction towards Kufa was strange!

Jealous Melida was really cute and funny!

Damn, Pricket just executed someone in from of all girls! I suspect something misterious about Pricket!

Also Kufa was really misterious aswell this episode! But seems someone is framing him!

Melida's pants part was hilarious, and their date was also cute, really awesome cave!

Those poor girls, having to witness someone getting executed by Pricket. He's one shady af guy. Everything is pointing towards Kufa being framed. It's kinda obvious though.

That cave was pretty awesome.

I'll be honest, in terms of romance I've never been a fan of the "Master x Student" thing because most of the time it just feels forced, contrived, and with practically no real chemistry whatsoever. Kufa and Rosetti may not interacted much throughout this anime but they honesty have much more chemistry than Kufa does with Melida.

It would have been funny if Kufa and Rosetti started off as rivals while fighting a growing attraction towards each other. Last week's episode could have been their students taking notice of their attraction and deciding to play matchmaker with them by setting them on a date. That honestly would have been fun to watch.

I really hope Kufa ends up being the culprit. It would be so interesting if he was. Also seems he's either strangling her or biting her one of the two as we saw at the start of the episode when she felt something on her neck.

Cant wait for when it gets revealed to the others that Kufa is a vampire. I really hope it gets revealed that he's more businesslike and uncaring to people like he was at the beginning and that its all an act. The OP suggests that as well.

ok, y'all know I love Assassins Pride, but ngl last couple eps have been mid. I'm not sure where the plot is going or what the overarching plot that we're working towards is. Every episode seems like a separate disconnected segment and that large chunks of plot are being omitted. Haven't opened the LN yet, still collecting dust in the bag, but man something feels off.

Well that's one way to get rid of the Rosetti ship (assuming Kufa is the one in the flashback which he probably is). I do hope it eventually ends up being a 'it was you all along' case and Rosetti and Kufa get together lol, kinda gave up on the Melida ship after all that terrible drama

I have a feeling that Rosetti's Dad might be orchestrating something behind the scene because he doesn't want his daughter to end up with Kufa but I'm curious if Kufa actually might be the one.

The Melida Kufa 'date' was very sweet. :)

This feels like a very complete episode. it said a lot, and didn't leave me with a lot of questions about context. It left me wondering what's next.

I have the feeling that the dad is trying to keep something under wraps, possibly because he's in kahoots with the bigger threat of this arc. That's just a guess.

The episode still felt like it was going through stuff really quickly, but seemingly not at the expense of necessary context.

I think this will be a really interesting arc, but I think with something this big, I'd rather read the light novel. Reason being that I expect this arc to also pass by in a flash, which will ruin the impact when we hit the climax.

So Media is just there as a teacher...it just happens...okay.

Rosetti > Melida. Melida is annoying and I think Rosetti is a better fit for Kufa.

Granted this was a pretty generic written subplot but I cringed at Kufa just willingly putting on her socks.

Looks like Rosetti's dad is garbage

Some cool characterisation and development in this episode. I'm increasingly intrigued by Kuufa's backstory.

I wonder if this will become a tragedy

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

This is becoming a total mess. AKA "Arifureta II" Animation is all over the shop quality wise, story is messed up due to the omissions from the LN and mixing bits up in order.

Was almost expecting a "Fatal Attraction scene" when she demanded Kufa put her socks on.

The burning building at the start was the same place as Kufa was introduced to all the adopted orphans ie Prickets home.

She keeps feeling her neck so does she know he's a vampire already.

So we have several possibilities for Melida.

1) She has some hidden power that needs awakening by Kufa's nurture.
2) She has some hidden power that will be released when she is turned into a Vampire by Kufa (Pure virgin bitten by vampire - see Helsing ultimate).
3) Kufa is using her as cover for some assassinations.
4) Kufa is using Melida to access Ellie's power.
5) Melida & Ellie will combine their powers and overthrow the status-quo.

But the story telling is so poor I don't really care anymore..

Dropping this and am going to binge-watch Babylon instead.

i mean, kufa is a vampire so of course he needs to drank blood every now and then

so either we'll got
1. melissa, who drink kufa's blood slowly became a vampire,
2. melissa will be the one who supply blood for kufa from now on

anyway based on how many generic subplot goes,
i can safely predict about current arc

I feel stupid after not realizing it sooner, but I think this is what's going on.
1. Kufa turned melinda into a vampire and gave her his mana
2. The blue mana belongs to a man, but actually belongs to melinda since she took kufa's mana
3. The voice in melinda's head is a vampire descendant and making her attack people unconsciously as she awakens more of her mana and becomes more like a vampire
4. Kufa grabs melinda's neck and thinks about killing her because she is starting to lose control and attack innocent people. This is reflected in the flashback of him as a boy killing a girl he was seemingly close to.

Quite okay episode. I really like Rosetti, she's so cute and attractive. I'd be lying if she wasn't what I was looking for most of this episode lol

But something's not right with Rosetti's dad. He seems off, somewhat shady. That town is also pretty weird, has a completely mysterious and ominous vibe to it. Although it kinda makes it look like it's Kufa who's the prime suspect, maybe it's Rosetti's dad who's doing something?
