Yeah!!! Love that battle scene right there as Itsuwa tried her best, even uses her saint breakout skill just to defeat Acqua but sadly , acqua is not just a SAINT BUT ALSO A RIGHT SEAT OF GOD. This just shows how powerful their enemies are... and note acqua is just fighting alone vs itsuwa and group.

So do you think that Aqua is stronger than Accelerator or Kakine?

Yes, since he can use Telesma (aka angelic powers) and top of that he can still use Normal magic due to the divine mother mercy ( #2 after the son of god in Aeon of Osiris). Also, unlike the normal saints, he can still use his 100% without any restriction.
So you understand, magic (depends on how strong the spell is ) & Telesma is a huge weakness to accel and can easily bypass his reflection.

The pacing got a bit more decent for this arc, or at least even though there is some rush it's not like what we had on the previous arc.
Animation was ok, got better for the final scenes.
Let's hope they can keep this with a "good pacing", even though it's difficult for what they got themselves into by adapating too much on 26 episodes.

Yeah indeed. The outfit she had before was pretty weird too, but that one worked out. This one...looks overdone. Don't like it at all. Doesn't match her at all either imo.

It's literally her old one.

But now she's just wearing a jacket on top because it's winter.

...at this point they might as well change the dictionary defination of literally, what with all the misuse the word sees these days.

Well. I have totally forgotten to watch this last week...

Itsuwa and the rest of Amakusa sure put up a fight against Aqua but seemed not much harm was done to Aqua.

Aqua vs Kanzaki though... So good to see Kanzaki back in action!!

This arc has been so good so far. I hope they don't screw the pacing next episode.

Acqua is such a badass

And to make things better, best girl Kanzaki appears to fight him. Loving this.


Pretty much this.

Enjoyed this episode a lot.

It's still rushed but at least it makes sense now i still have no clue what went on in the previous arc but this is better.
And Kanzaki finally made her appearance again, i was waiting for her.


They are adapting at the same pace they did for last arc, the difference is that battle royale itself is much more fast paced and full of details, and something slower and more dragged like this arc, will be a more smooth adaptation, even if they still skip on quite some details and scenes.

this season is consistently terrible. I've seen more interesting, more spectacular and better-staged fights in 12-episode trashy harem shows.
when Itsuwa fell through a concrete floor and thirty floors down, how did she not die? and where did her sweater go? did it absorb the impact?
the massive pillar of water was falling on asphalt and yet not even a puddle formed.
what the actual fuck.

I found Itsuwa's fight really trash, do they really need a 7 sec pause at every move to explain what they wanted to do? Also, the beggining of the fight wasn't really a nice place to try to get a little laugh out of Itsuwa's attitude imo.

So, Acqua of the Back's real name is William Orwell and we know more about his past.

Itsuwa fighting for Touma lol.

Surprisingly well adapted considering how they handled the last arc. They definitely cut stuff but it's not as bad. I'm glad Kanzaki is back. I liked the flashback to her and Touma's fight in s1.

Man, I forgot how adorable Itsuwa is. Love her.

This episode wasn't bad, but as far as what I've seen from Index III so far, it could have been so much better. I don't normally read LN's or Manga or anything like that, really, but I happen to have read a good chunk of the LN's around these chapters when I was sampling them (I guess just out of curiosity) and it becomes painfully obvious how mediocre a job they did adapting this.

It's a shame, there's some good characters and plot - this has all the aspects you need for a great anime, but the production itself ruins it.

Not that I'm not enjoying watching through Index III about as much as the first 2 season's adaptations... it's just hard to not dwell on how much better it could be if given the proper respect from above.

More Itsuwa and Kanzaki? This show focuses on the best characters right now, I like it. Though it seems like Kamijo will return next episode and ruin everything again.

Itsuwa.
Acqua.
Sherry. Orsola!
Oh snap! Itsuwa sharpening her blade.
William Orwell.
Itsuwa strikes.
LMAO at Itsuwa.
Holy shit! Saint Destroyer!
Dat fall. Itsuwa doesn't lose her whole top.
Those eyes. Whose are they?
Acqua left.
KANZAKI!!!!!!
Date ending.
Touma awakens.

So many best girls in 1 episode. I love it. I find it funny that Itsuwa lost her inside top but the outside top remained. Just show the oppai. We need to solve the hidden huge oppai theory.

Itsuwa surviving easely , well i guess its the same than most anime , some character never die

But whats more bothering is that she only loose part of her top , only the sweater , i guess they skiped something again , and im watching the bluray...i got to check whos animating this , its a big joke , i would probably give this anime 4/10 if there wasnt so many cute girls 😓

To be frank, these last two episodes make more sense and are a LOT more easy to follow than the entirety of battle royale or whatever arc.

Good to see Itsuwa stood her ground against Acqua the whole time, kinda makes her more likeable. But hey that saint destroyer was supposed to be the real deal right? It didn't do nothing lol. Though we got our saint here, Kanzaki.

Her character design may look a tad different but happy to see her.

16:50 I find it amusing that Itsuwa's long sleeve shirt got obliterated while her crop top is undamaged.

Decent fights in this episode. I love seeing cute girls like Itsuwa fight. Maybe she could've fought better if she wore something sexier that allowed more room for movement. Also, Kaori is so hot!
