| This episode was more about the emotional elements and attitude rather than the usual magical battles we see in the show. Nogi looked broken but she's lucky to have friends around her. The amount of tears shed this episode proabbly eclipses the entire show so far. I just hope they can build a bright future for themselves. |
 |
| Thanks for the suffering, see you next week. |
| Another pretty sad and heart-wrenching episode. :/ |
 |
| This episode was freaking devastating. Dang. |
| Overall, the way they adapt this whole Chikage story is very good. But... is that how they want to rewrite and redeem Wakaba personality? By changing and sacrificing the other characters important roles and give all that roles to Wakaba? Making Wakaba seems more caring, stronger, and smarter (ok, maybe not smarter) than how she actually is? Basically repeat the case of how Horikita Suzune stole best girl Karuizawa Kei important role in Classroom of The Elite episode 8? Disgusting... Do anyone notice something strange about Wakaba personality inconsistency? Why Wakaba seems too calm when 2 of her friend died in episode 5? Why Wakaba suddenly seems more caring and smile much more in this episode flashback? Well, this adaptation is the newest example of "We will not only skip part X, we will also treat part X as if it never happened or just change the person involved in the story.", compared to the usual "We will skip part X just by not showing it, but it still did happened and exist off-screen in the story.". Yeah~ Wakaba is the leader, but her leadership is more about morale pillars and main brawler than the team brain! Iyojima Anzu the white hair girl is the team brain! Without her battle plan, they might get injured or killed faster a few months before! That training in the flashback is actually a battle royale, NOT 1 vs 1!!! And do you know who actually win? ANZU!!! And who give the diploma to Chikage? ANZU!!! Well, I guess the production staffs are Wakaba simp that want Wakaba to get the best impression huh? I guess that's also why they didn't adapt Wakaba personal mental consultation with Anzu. I actually almost cried when I watch the how bad roles changed, they really did my Anzu dirty huh? |
| Geezus christ, all the main characters literally got the SAO treatment in the worst way possible, which is funny considering both series’ LN illustrations come from the same artist. I didn’t like the prequel LN much, but at least it had the details. I know anime will never adapt every single important part but the incarnations of the gang I knew in the novel feel like nothing but mere mouthpieces, plus Wakaba feels like anime Kirito, which isn’t good by any means. Just how much more useless and tactless will this “sequel” continue to be? |

I just reread NoWaYu, actually the diploma scene did come from a 1v1 tournament though the details are barren on this as compared to the Battle Royale About the episode itself it's a so-so, I love Chikage seiyuu's performance during their clash and Wakaba's speech about how Chikage herself is a hero just like the rest was great But then we also got omission of details such as Wakaba's exhausted self fighting the Vertexes to protect Chikage who got her hero powers revoked. This episode makes it look like Wakaba was just anaware of that lone Vertex which later ate Chikage. Also Wakaba knowing straight away that the Shinju took away Chikage's powers is just dumb, the point of NoWaYu are the heroes know zilch about the inner workings of the Taisha (it was told to her later by one of the Taisha priests in the LN) |
| I seriously want to drop this (as an anime only), so fast paced, badly developed characters because of the truncated shit ass adaption. Almost no emotional moment this episode feels earned... how am i suppoused to care for them when other than chikage we've seen nothing from the rest and how they met and grew close to each other. And Even chikages development feels forced. |
 |
| They butchered my favorite series. A couple of years ago I worked for a Japanese company and our boss does not know whats going on so he keep making ridiculous decisions. Probably the one incharge of this adaptation is the same that's why we got this sh*t. |
| dont think i couldve handled a whole season devoted to this arc would've been too much pain if i had more than a surface level of attachment to them all show really turned into my weekly dose of suffering |
 |
| much obliged pain and suffering...only 2 left...2 yuusha 5/5. |

If yes, let's go. The battle royale may look like 1 vs 1, but that only happened for a shot time, because soon after the 1 vs 1 fight start, 1 more person join and make it 1 vs 2 (Wakaba is just too strong for a 1 vs 1 lol). 1. Yuuna vs Wakaba, Chikage hide in bushes planning to ambush the winner for easy win. 2. Wakaba almost defeat Yuuna, Chikage abandoned her initial plan and join to help Yuuna (well, she really love Yuuna lol). 3. Tamako also join Yuuna and Chikage to ganging up on Wakaba, making the initial 1 vs 2 fight into 1 vs 3 fight. 4. Wakaba defeat Chikage first and Yuuna after, Tamako run away using Joestar secret technique: Nigerundayo! Wakaba chase Tamako. 5. Wakaba ask Hinata where is Anzu, Hinata say Tamako already defeat Anzu. 6. Wakaba fight Tamako in 1 vs 1, suddenly an arrow hit wakaba hand followed by Tamako attack. 7. Anzu is actually still in the game! Anzu bribed Hinata with Wakaba photos before the battle royale! Hinata betrayal! Anzu X Tamako alliance win!!! 8. Wakaba admit defeat and surrender, Anzu hit Tamako with an arrow on the head! The allianze collapsed! What a savage betrayal!! Anzu win! Damn, this is super exciting to write. if only they can allocated ~2 minutes for this scene... . Well, it's already too late. Yeah, at some point, everything turn into 1 vs 3 lol. With 1 vs 1(+1) deception works perfectly against Wakaba. |

Yuvensius said: Just to make sure before I continue, we are talking about chapter 12 right? If yes, let's go. No it's not chapter 12 lmao, it's near the end of chapter 17. Again, there's barely any details of this and the anime adapted it fully |
| sad end for Gun-chan, her mind became messed up but managed to do good before dying. last 2 heroes vs an army of vertex.. looks like the next episode will be a suicide mission. Nogi is a good leader, she's just facing things beyond her control. |
| I'm surprised Gods didn't revoke her power until that very moment. Guess they wanted Gun-chan to redeem herself before completely writing her off. The girls see what she was going through at home and then to find the only thing not damaged is the diploma they gave her T_T. |
 |
| so much sadness holy fuckkk !! this series is full of despair but that is why this series at same time really good !! |
| I've not read the source material, but you can feel the issues in moments like when they discover the diploma and then have to flashback to the meaning. The sad moments aren't exactly poorly done, but they lack the foundation of the characters to make them hit right. |
| Anime-only here, and it seems very good so far, the emotions were well delivered. Funny how the butthurt novel readers bitching make no sense to anime-only, you guys lack the comprehension of what "Adaptation" is. A bad adaptation is not "omg they are not respecting all the details of the source". Fuc* the source, what matter is how the story is being told in the animation itself. |

Rob7 said: Anime-only here, this is a shockingly terrible season so far. Barely an characterization and an insanely rushed plot. This has downright the worst pacing I've ever seen. Can't care about any of these characters because we have no time with them before they are killed off. There is a hilarious reliance on flashbacks and narration to patch together this story. The sentinel bits were the best parts so far but ended abruptly.Anime-only here, and it seems very good so far, the emotions were well delivered.

It honestly seems like YuYuYu is going the way of generic dark magical girl anime of shock value and violence, an absolute shame since YuYuYu's very reserved nature really made it stand out. |
| Chikage's clones not attacking Wakaba while the two were clashing blades & talking is so very dumb i'm having trouble finding correct words in English to describe it. This is the worst kind of action/battle scene direction - the one where combatant's abilities are ignored in favor of script convenience. JOELbedulla said: So were they five or six heroes? Cause they used both numbers in this episode. That Hinata girl is not a hero, right? I remember she was frozen in time when Chikage was fighting Wakaba. Yes, Hinata is a miko just like Aya from the Sentinel group, and, like Aya, she is considered part of the team, therefore 5 heroes + 1 Hinata = 6. |

| Nah bro there’s something legitimately wrong with me because I find it sexy af when a quiet female character ends up snapping and having a mental breakdown. Shit is so sexy to me. I love broken women. Chikage is a perfect example. She deserved better. As usual these shows kill off best girl |
 |
| Chikage reverted. She's down. Chikage saved Wakaba. She got hit by Vertex-kun. No arm. Dat blood. Chikage is dead. Dat diploma. Dat speech. Dat ending. Glad Chikage's dad left. He was clearly heart broken that the scumbag mother of his child was cheating on him. Her coming back to live with him was making him go crazy. I hope he heals from the pain one day. I'll miss Chikage. Her crazy faces were hot. |

Reply to Shirowhite01
@Rob The father ignored his responsibilities as a husband and as a father, he's more busy drinking booze and being outside than helping out in the house... When his wife was sick, he just brushed her off by telling Chikage to give her medicine and to lay her down instead of helping his wife. He's still shit even though the mother was also shit for cheating.
| @Shirowhite01 Ain't no way you replied to my year old post just to side with the offending wife. The fact that you said "The father ignored his responsibilities as a husband" while knowing the scumbag wife nullified/destroyed the marriage by cheating on her husband first, which resulted in his treatment towards her because you don't reward scumbags for their wrongdoing and that's what a chain effect is speaks volumes about you. She caused all of this to happen. Not him. Go be a clown elsewhere because you've clearly never been in love and had your heart broken due to betrayal and the resulting effects of that mess a person up. You clearly wanted the father to suck it up because he's an adult with a child but it doesn't work like that. Not everyone handles betrayal and heartbreak the same. And that's what your kind always ignore. I repeat. Go be a clown elsewhere. This is my 1 and only reply. I'm not reading any replies after this so talk to yourself. |
