I'm becoming very intrigued about Crimson. What would happen if the dragon god were to meet its demise?

Ragna, who began to act alongside Crimson, encounters Mikhail and his comrades in the city of Tortiere, located at the eastern border, as they fight to protect the people from dragon attacks, facing the imminent danger of complete annihilation. The one cornering them was Disaster Thrower, the third-ranked dragon with mastery over the wind. To defeat this new enemy, Ragna and Crimson's first-ever collaboration commences.

I'm comfortable with the World War I-style bolt-action rifles and cannons because they give off an "Attack On Titan" vibe. However, the modern guns and vehicles seem out of place and it's a bit distracting for me. Is this Dragon King a reincarnated or transferred individual? The presence of the weapon, the car, and the megaphone makes me wonder. I refuse to believe Disaster Throwe isn't on fucking crack. Like what the hell was was he talking about at the end and in the post-credit scene.

This fight should interesting. Ragna and Crimson tag team should be fun

The tone of this episode was more towards light hearted comedy compared to episode 1 and 2. Slime senpai is such an amazing scout. He can literally draw an accurate map with his slimy body. Thats so convenient for Crimson!!! Also, Crimson seems to have a very sadistic side.... And poor Ragna gets stomped like a Pig!!

The monologue at the end was so hilarious, cant wait for the big fight next week!!

Crimson has quite the sadistic side to him. Though modern vehicle and guns? Crimson somehow brought em from future? Seems like Crimson intends to train more people rather than just rely on Ragna who can't keep fighting continuously. This episode was okay.

Crimson pushes Ragna's edgy personality to the ground. The old timeline Ragna is probably the only one who fight dragon, and the present timeline everyone can fight? That look promising. I think they'll eventually succeed, but at what cost?

This dragon hunter group is quite interesting, they're just human, they flee, they feel guilty, they don't have superpower, I hope this group becomes Ragna's underling.

crimson and slime VA are goddamn amazing in this episode. I also love just how annoyingly logical Crimson is, you want to keep Leo save then how about lock her up in a save place, completely immoral but logical solution

So I guess the disclaimer at the start of the episode was for the part where Crimson Kurt Cobain'd himself to make a point to Ragna. I thought this episode was going to venture into some dark shit.

Ragna is quite good at playing mind games, as he so easily manipulated all those people into following his command. I wasn't expecting to see modern guns in this show. Looks like those will be used to take down the next opponent, who's the Third Seat of the Blood of the Wing (I'm glad he was kind enough to clarify that that means he's the 3rd from the top lol). His rapid fire monologue at the end of the episode was pretty funny, especially when it just cut off and the ED started playing lol.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Lmao this episode was censored. The part at the beginning should've shown those women being dismembered, yet they're almost completely fine. So not only is the direction and animation iffy, they're also censoring the gory parts.

Plotline so bad even travelling back in time is not helping the load off crimsons back. She will just turn this into her own anime with ragna as side character if this goes on.
Those viewer discretion advised slides needs to fuck off.

I thought there would be some sort of heartbreaking tragedy of suicide (or attempt) in this episode form the initial warnings, not fucking Crimson blowing their head off to make a point lol.

Anyway, another adorable slime, what's with all these cute slime characters recently?

Ah yes you only need one Crimson suicidal frame to make that sign warning appear. Good job. Thought it was that Betelgeuse dragon that cause it, but nah.

Still Crimson did all the dirty works and showed how strong of the character, those Dragon Monarch more to the paralysed poor Ragna, and all those pawns, i mean, army, like Crimson wish on the second episode. Magic awesome, oh yeah! Then also, Rimuru on this show also unexpectedly a nice being.

Hope the voice is less obnoxious tho. But eh? I am good enough with Crimson and the psychotic behaviour its showed. Ragna also needs to consider Crimson advice over Leo situation tho. Its looks convenient. However, nevertheless, let's see next!

Nice stage to set what to expect from Crimson's personality.

But I guess arming the mob characters is also good because a successful movement is not always based on a single 'hero' character. Grunts will always be essential in making pivotal changes in terms a system.

The episode is censored for sure, the manga is way more brutal since you can see the women in the tornado getting dismembered and the blood spilling out and all that so this anime is definitely more kid-friendly, why did this anime have to be PG-13? this needed to be R - 17+ instead, they also skipped a fight with a superior dragon which needed to happen in the previous episode but I thought he was going to appear in this one but it didn't (he was going to get one-shotted anyway so maybe it wasn't that important I guess), my other complaint is that the CGI dragons are WAY too ugly, seriously, they look really, REALLY bad, I can recognize decent or passable CGI when I see them in animes, this however, is not, those CGI dragons are really, REALLY bad, it's bottom tier CGI IMHO and I don't want to see any more of that ugly looking crap.

With that being said, the episode is actually decent, I thought the episode was gonna be worse but it's actually decent, and the voice actors were superb here so that's a good thing this anime has going for it so yeah, despite my complaints, I actually enjoyed this episode, also, this is the most boring part of the manga, good thing the Wind Dragon will get killed off in the next episode and then, we are finally moving to the good stuff, the capital arc is pretty darn good since we will finally have the first major battle there, this is the moment where SILVER LINK has to bring their A-game, they better not fuck this up, this battle is important and they better throw all their budget here.

In short, the episode has up and downs but it wasn't bad, it's decent, the CGI dragons are garbage though and the more I see it, the more I hate it so I don't want to see that shit for a good while.

Dang, Crimson sure is sadistic, especially with that smile/grin. I was surprised to see Ragna disabled there and I was thinking that Crimson caused that but I'm not completely sure.

Btw, I was surprised to see modern day vehicles and weapons suddenly show up, this show is kind of weird but I'm enjoying it so far.

Between Crimson straight up suggesting to confine a comatose Leo and blowing their own head off, and Trois' ramblings, they sure drove the point on dragons being insane. At least Crimson is self aware at that 🤣 Slime is pretty cool being able to make a detailed diorama just like that.

Well, Crimson is ... some kind of special, and to be honest, they seem pragmatic evil more than anything else.

Silverine bullets in machine guns ... that poor dragon better have his wind powers turned up to 100%, he's going to be in for one big fight.

The reason Ragna got muscle ache is because he has been using his Silverine Battle Arts and his body is not used to it plus he can't even use the full potential of that power yet (plus plot convenience I guess, you need to give those random guys some time to shine), that being said, crap like this won't happen anymore.

In the manga Ragna killed a superior dragon in that part instead of random dragons so the manga was better in this regard and made more sense why those random guys couldn't defeat it and why Ragna got the muscle ache thingie.

It probably won't get better since this is the most boring part of the manga, that being said, the Wind Dragon will get killed off in the next episode and then we are finally going to move to the good thing in the capital arc, this is where the REAL first major battle will happen and shit is awesome here, I just hope SILVER LINK throws all their budget in this battle, if they fuck this up and the battle turns out to be mid then this anime failed, this is the moment where SILVER LINK has to show their A-game.

I advise you guys to stick to the first major battle at least and see how it turns out, it won't take long.

Ragna and Slime's first meet, other than the fact that he's facing Crimson, he does not know anything about it. Or even bad, she reaps unintentional humans into her magic web, which reveals more dragons to be found. As Ragna develops more muscle soreness, Crimson takes his place to command Michael and his band of mercenaries to reveal the power needed to take down the dragon in Tourtiere, and brandish them as potential dragon hunters.

Things like firearms and ammunition are essential to Michael and his team, though Ragna fears that they will lose their lives, the same way that he abandoned Leo to exterminate dragonkin. Sure, Crimson is the bastard that pushed Ragna to his limits by asking that he put Leo into a comatose state and stopping her from interfering with the battles, she does does not like the fact that Ragna branishes himself as the cursed one, though he needs to push more.

The Tempest Cell being the next enemy, Crimson has a way to deal with Disas Trois, the 3rd Winged of the Blood. Quite the yandere Ragna has on his hands.

Another trashy episode from a trashy anime, but it's 2023 where chicks can be dudes, dudes can be chicks and the target audience is so pathetically soft & weak that they have to put a content warning at the start and a phone for a US based association that deals with certain "things" all of that because crimson blows his head off to make a point to ragna.

Moronic and another proof that anime going main stream in the west was the worst thing ever to happen to the anime industry.

Another thing, if they had to insert the "current message" into this anime, just like they have done with 97% of all anime this year. At least make crimson a good looking trap and not some creepy looking one. If I wanna see ugly trannies I only need to step outside and walk a mile or so, and I'll get a full freak show for free.

Reading some of the comments made so far .... 🤣🤣 They are "so respectful" of crimson that they are walking on egg shells! 🤣🤣

it makes me 🤣 AND 🤮🤮 at the same time! Crimson is a dude a guy but ppl in here are calling him by other pronoun's moronic & pathetic,

Another slow and mostly mediocre ep but at least there was a lot of Crimson this time. Kinda like a calm before the storm vibes, since next episode they'll be battling Disas Trois. The pacing is chaotic beyond belief and if they screw up the battling next episode I'll be disappointed. This definitely doesn't feel like the same anime that dropped a 47 min ep some weeks back.
