Man, that form is scary no joke.

This was a rough episode for Nick and the party. It was a rough fight but glad everyone made it out of that mess alive. Seems this episode is kinda rushed though in terms of storytelling. Olivia's identity revelation though...damn.

So all the main cast have had their mini arcs and power up sequences by now. I’m guessing zem’s might be the strongest since he took on the strongest opponent? Priest being stepping man was obvious from several weeks ago and as you’d expect, he wasn’t all bad. If olivia is a combat training program is she a living weapon too then?

Well, the identity of Stepping Man is revealed: Nalgava from the Garbage Collection, with the Yellow Demon Sickness being the onslaught issue to resolve by sacrificing kids for his own gain. Bringing him back for interrogation by the other Survivors, and what the former priest does cannot be atoned for other people's sins, especially Zem who gave him an earful because they were once in the same livelihood.

Despite the formidable enemy White Mask coming out of the blue to face Nalgava and the Survivors, Zem is at a crossroads, but he needn't answer the question, because Olivia came in for the clutch to save them for the moment, while both Nick and Zem have a Union moment. It's a fight to the death, though it's only for show with Nalgava not having long to live, and the best that he can muster is only encouragement and reassurance.

In the end, Nalgava as Stepping Man isn't all bad, but somehow in the way of his endeavors he made wrong choices (just like Zem), and atoned for his life. With Olivia's real identity revealed to the Survivors, she's definitely the character that meets more than the eye.

Kinda of a mediocre, but decent ending to the Stepping Man case. Now, what to expect of the finale next week?

Not gonna lie.. After previous episode I was hoping this episode to end in some sort of good conclusion.. But i forgot that this is an actual cringe anime with corny dialogues..


This particular episode had a lot of misses with plot points.. the fights feel weightless and lack lusting.. 
Only good thing about this episode was Olivia..


Just 1 More episode.. And then i can finish this crap...

I take back what I said about it getting batter again. The only good thing this anime has to offer is Olivia.

Holy shmoly this anime keeps getting worse. They really spent an entire episode trying to make us empathize with a literal child killer.  Nevermind the random dark edgelord that appeared or the random bullshit that was spouted at the end of this episode. The writers of this show cannot create a single comprehensible villain. At this point I can bet you 50 bucks that the dark lord we just saw will have a dark and sad past too that you should empathize with. I thought that the casino episode was the worst we could get but boy was I wrong.

Compassion is not the same as forgiveness. Wanting to take him in to answer for his crimes doesn't mean they should be happy that he's been stabbed or crushed.

Or even if you prefer vengeance over compassion: that makes it harder to prove he did it and bring a sense of justice and peace to the survivors of his victims. And it's over too quickly.

Yeah this episode felt rushed and all over the place. I did not feel much sympathy for Nalgava and having that random white masked villain appear out of nowhere was odd. At least, like some people have said, we have Olivia and she's also a sword like Kizuna. I wonder if she can combine with the other adventurers like they do with Kizuna? I doubt we'll find out with one episode remaining.

This series probably around episode 3 started turning into a complete pile of Dog poop. And here we are and it just never gets better.

Why are we forgiving Nalgava? Why do we have Sympathy for him? Dude was a terrible person. Shit doesn't make sense.

And White mask. He goes on this rant about how he's going to KILL EVERYONE and he takes a sword to his mask...it gets fixed...and he goes "Welp I lost see ya later."

What???

Sucks cause I like Nick and Curran but my god this anime is awful

So we're just supposed to forget that he kidnapped tortured and murdered little children? Lots of them? Just... oopsie?  

This guy's on par with Mengele. They should have tortured him to death, resurrected him and done it again, a minimum of one for every child he did it to.

Now we've seen the last union with Nick and Zem. Didn't you need to strong bonds for union? Zem just did the union thing with Nick like it's whatever, he was panicking too lol.

Also random reveal that Olivia is actually a sword?

I wonder if we'll get a union with all four of the party members next episode lol.

Never ending plan to watch list...

What a good episode, and certainly a moment of understanding for our priest!
The fact that the newspaper girl was yet another legendary sword was predictable from the last couple of weeks, but still nice!
Nick had a good fight too at the beginning.

Looking forward to next week, although I somehow doubt we have time to wrap up this storyline with just one episode left, maybe we'll just get back to some slice of life for it?

This episode was pretty decent in my opinion, but still don't know where the hell is this story progressing although the pacing seems rushed. Hope to see more plot in ep 12.

This show is just too much sometimes

I love it

ah yes, better be best friends with the priest who killed hundreds of random kids, nice

i thought the anime was somewhat fun before... but now i really dislike it... Curran, and now Olivia, are the only things i like here

next episode title... if that somehow means a second season, i'm surely not watching it, fuck this :D

So the old Priest was infecting the kids with the yellow disease so he could then try to cure them...

Well... at least he didn't "seggs" the kids, as that's one of the old Priest's PTSD as his own daughter died and ppls around him spread she died from "seggs"...

Also, the old Priest's speech, can be relatable to the party as they all gone through "two side of a coin".

.

huh... who the F is this armor dude? (and they hinted the armor is something similar to the sword, ancient tech)

Also... Zem Union, Lets DO IT... GIGGLES Gayge

(BTW, I noticed that the "Paladin" seems to have the same outfit, the only thing that changes is the Sword, this time it's a Cross +)

.

LOL @ Olivia saying random quotes.

And she tried to "die in a funny way"...

But then the spell weakened and she broke through the barrier herself.

.

Sword of War huh...

So... exactly how many "swords" are there?

Can all of them shapeshift into humans?

Not to mention the black armor dude said the Sword of Bond wasn't used in the Great war...

And judging by Olivia calling herself "anti-demon weapon" plus the "sword of evolution" from before, I take it the world regressed was due to the advanced civilization fighting against the Demons and somehow won, but ended up half destroying most of the advanced knowledge and they no longer know how to make the advance tech so the tech are now "forbidden tech" as they're powerful enough to defeat the Demons. And the world's just using left over advanced tech...

Tho they can still make stuff up to our "modern era" such as light sticks and simple buildings.

here I thought that Olivia actually an A-Rank or S-Rank adventurer. she's actually a sword of a same kind as Kizuna.

that White Mask remind me of Monster Garou though. did Monster Garou design inspired by him, or it's the other way around?

how many of ancient sword relic are they?

It's painful how terrible this episode was

The big reveal was way too painful obvious;
The underlying meaning is fine; Justice and Compassion not Revenge and Cruelty - sure
but the New Big Bad reveal was done really poorly and the fight was hilariously bad and irrational

Olivia felt rushed too

I honestly rate this series as a whole an 8;(which is a high score for me) but they are massively failing to finish strong.
