| Are we the villains here? I understand she anticipated Ultimatia to manipulate time, but goodness, that plan was incredibly ruthless. Crimson issues orders to Ultimatia, who is mentally and physically exhausted from the battle with Ragna, to pursue and attack her by detonating various locations in the capital. Faced with unexpected circumstances, Ultimatia is emotionally shaken and attempts to cast the spell to reset the world once again while in a state of extremity. Man, I think Starlia and Ragna would hit it off really well. I only realized a couple of episodes ago that the map is based on Earth, but I didn't realize it was post-apocalyptic. It seems like our Earth or something close to it, perhaps during our era, experienced a world war-like event, resulting in a wipeout and a restart of civilization (sort of). So, Ragna isn't the only silver-enhanced human; it's quite intriguing. Although I doubt Crimson would ever consider it, forming an alliance with this Silverware Princess seems to be in their best interest. Three formidable forces are better than two! So we now know that this show is in a dystopian future? What a plot twist. |
 |
| I was expecting ass kicking, but this episode was all about mind games and genocide. Oh well!! |
| Ragna is very reckless, Starlia is a interesting female. |
 |
| Crimson showing the true nature of Ultimatia's goal is brutal. The animation budget in noticeably lower than the previous episode but the introduction for Silverware Princess is great, the fact that she is a "no ja" character is a pleasant surprise |
| A true menace. So it is a Post-Apocalyptic world. Still, the technologies are barely explained.  |
| Almost no screen time for the best girl Ultimatia -> wasted episode |
| The best waifu of the season got introduced and Crimson is up against her now. There's no deceiving those eyes though. |
| Damn Crimson created a massacre in the city. Thought so that it was too early for her to die so yeah. The princess is here and she seems op. Can Crimson lie his way out? |
 |
| NOOO these episodes have to stop ending right as they get good man wtf. Wild episode from start to finish. Crimson destroying the city to back Ultimatia in a corner and force her to rewind time was a solid plan, but damn Golem basically causing all those lives to go to waste just to test Crimson was wild. That was a great opportunity 🤦🏽♂️ Not only that, but not fully going thru with the plan led to Nebulim evolving to his final form and getting way stronger. He’s going to be a massive problem in the future. Ragna is such a dumbass man. You literally just collapsed from overextending yourself. Crimson wants to kill the dragons just as much as you do and is way more experienced, if he’s saying retreat, you retreat. Damaging the chamber and forcing them to emergency teleport into hostile territory just wasn’t worth it. Feel bad for crimson working out such a good plan just to have it ruined by his own subordinates We get introduced at the end to the silverware princess. Her design is really cool and she seems like the perfect opponent for someone like crimson since she can see thru lies. Looking forward to seeing how they get out of this one Some other interesting stuff from this episode is the world building and past of crimson. So when they show us a map of the world it’s clearly earth with all the continents we know and love.. also crimson flashback seems to be watching a nuclear explosion and he’s wearing modern clothes.. so this seems like it’ll be a post apocalyptic futuristic story Another awesome Ragna crimson ep. |

| Those dragons.. Not to mention mc out for the count. Just whats going on here! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Well the plan Crimson put to escape really a savage lol. Even Golem more likely love his sickening way of plan and might be receive some damage to his decision to stay intact to the boss Crimson, and yes its happened very fiercely. Nevertheless its still a surprise to me, seeing how Nebulim evolve that fast to protect his girl. Shit become worse then ever, when Ragna awake and can't be stopped while Crimson still trying to move away. Yeah a strike of bad luck hits Crimson very hard this time afte what he shows to the capital citizens. Big karma? While the teleportation expelled into the very pained place to Crimson, i must say, this is an interesting turning event. Welcome to the screen, second princess of Lese, Starlia. She holds some interesting power shows from this short introduction moment, especially with those pretty eyes. Wonder what Ragna reacts if he manage to awake next and face her. More importantly how Crimson can sway the bad luck into more likely still intact to his interest. If the stars align.... |

| Ultimatia may have used her Time Control Magic against Ragna, but she's too broken to the point that against Crimson, she has no chance at all. The Dragon Monarch has no choice but to use her Time Control Magic, which is what Crimson would've wanted, but Nebulim stopping her in her tracks so that she does not deplete her magic on the Lese Kingdo, and at the same time, Golem indeed did his work, but also tested her of her loyalty to Ragna, which he got his punishment. Even though Nebulim knows he himself is powerless, being the Blood of the Wings' backbone and progenitor would do him disservice if he fails to eliminate Crimson, which she has already escaped into her world-travelling Globe Chamber. A little flashback of time of Ragna with Leo, reminds him of the time where dragon slaying is essential, and knowing that he didn't decimate Ultimatia enough, he decides to go back, which no thanks to his Silverline Battle Arts, creates a crack where her stronghold is released, and the hunt between Ragna and the dragons are on once again. Ragna having Crimson be teleported to a rural area, but still not out of danger being captured by the 2nd princess of the Lese Kingdom-cum-chief of the Argentium Corps, the no-arm Starlia is quite the character with her minions of Fu and Isaac, her magic powers are famously known throughout the lands for being a dragon slayer and silverware master craftsman. Crimson's reason for hating Starlia though, she clearly does not appreciate the situation she's in now and lies do not cross over the Silverware Princess. Her only way...is to fake it until she makes it on her Criss Weiss facade, making sure that it does not fall on Starlia's radar. Back to the dystopian future, and it's a matter of circumvention. |
 |
| I can't believe that the golem would test his master Crimson like that, especially given the timing, and that led to Ultimatia living. Crimson now has to deal with another issue and with the teleportation they meet a princess named Starlia (nice name). I'm hoping they can work things out and team up. Side note, it was nice seeing Leo again even if it was only for a brief flashback to explain how dragons can evolve if not taken care of. |

Crimson is a dragon and don't care about humans, and she only cares about killing all the dragons.
I was surprised the women and guy at the end referred to Crimson as "he" and then said they don't know who she was. I forgot why Ragnar considers Crimson as a man, but no one else would know that reason. A plot hole.

| @mariox7777 A plot hole? can you show a picture when the guys at the end referred to Crimson as a "she"? because the subs that I have referred Crimson as a "he" instead so maybe the issue is with your subs mate. BTW, it's Ragna, not Ragnar, and Crimson is male so that's why they call him a "he", his current body might be ambiguous but he appears to be on the male side to them I suppose, Crimson does have a female body too, the body he used in the capital was female. Edit: Here is the gender of Crimson according to the mangaka: https://twitter.com/D_Koba/status/1717471038437826641 And here is the translated picture:  Most of the time he's in the witch body which is the neutral one or the ambiguous one but you can say that the new characters at the end saw Crimson as a guy so that's why they are calling him a "he". The mangaka refers to Crimson as a "he" too and Ragna stated in episode 2 that Crimson is a "he" but he can change his body or his gender when it suits him. In other words, Crimson is a "he", looks like a "TRAP" in that maid body, in his neutral/ambiguous body he may look male or feminine (the guys at the end saw him as male I suppose), and he can change his body or his gender when he needs to. |

| Wow Ragna is pretty stupid. I understand he probably didnt realize what using his abilities would do there since it wasnt explained to him but he barely could move so he's not really in any condition to fight. And jeez Crimson is cruel in how they killed so many people to make a point and go after Ultimatia. I wonder if she saved those people. It is so weird watching her get so broken up, she is an interesting character. @xZabuzax Just to be clear the Japanese language does not use second person pronouns, they technically can but it is rare and considered rude since the words used actually are used for boyfriend and girlfriend not boy and girl. So that info would have to have been obtained in some other dialogue than pronouns. Hm looking up the kanji and going by context of the picture, id translate it this way to avoid any confusion including a little redundancy of phrasing. Female (sex).... Androgynous (sex).....Male (sex) This would indicate that Crimson is changing anatomy as you mentioned. It is weirdly an extra layer of confusion as to why the author made Crimsons male form an otokonoko on top of already being someone that changes sex though. |
| How can you Describe this show for nonstop action every episodes ??? " A Masterpiece Shounen Action" this show totally mindblowing me for every action packed and the plot it self !!! |
| Now I know why the future Ragna called Crimson a... "He". (even the newly introduced characters at the end end-up calling him a He for some reason or the subtitles' translation sucks lol) I actually liked Golem (Crimson's dude subordinate) at first, but I don't NOW because of its reasoning earlier. Makes me sick, really. Nice, I get to see Leo in a flashback! and I get to hear her sweet voice again... >_< Crimson is in a lot of predicaments because of Ragna... lmao (his? reactions were quite funny) This series is really getting interesting with new characters being introduced but I'm rather curious about that similar girl in the flashback with Crimson. You can call her the main waifu, if you want. lol |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Well the managed to flee like I thought, but it was a lot messier than I expected with blowing up the city and then Ragna being too mad to give up lmao. Lot's of exposition is the second half which I think could have been left for the audience to more naturally learn about (like the the way the princess abilities work is a big one that ruined any mystery about her), but it was alright. |

| @Inexplicable Why would they waste time on that bitch? |
| Ragna just gets more annoying with each episode. I HATE these types of imbecile characters: they just irk me in a way I can't put into words. |

| @Kamiyan3991 Exactly! It's impressive how incells just love the psycho characters or they just don't care at all if they have boobs. |
| Wow, after the epic battle from last episode, Ragna completely messed up Crimson's plans in a big way! It's kind of lucky for him Crimson teamed up with him because all brawn can rarely win if the enemy has special powers, and lots of supporters. A back up plan is always necessary as shown in this episode. Also he runs out of power and needs to rest, so it's not like he's invincible. All in all, the power system is very nicely balanced, which means it keeps the viewer guessing. |

| @Inexplicable Having a pussy doesn't make you interesting, at all. Ultimatia is just your regular goody two-shoes who happens to be a mass murder. My personal fav. is Crimson. |

Crimson changes body each time he dies, his dead bodies doesnt disappear, it stays as corpse as the proof. the scenes is short so its miss-able. This is actually will be shown again in the future altho rarely, and not a one-time thing. So he didnt re-shape his body, but changed it like someone change their outfit or using another vehicle whenever Crimson like. And of course theres another extra reason why Crimson "should" be called in male form, but kinda spoiler-y |
