So... the "whitening" incident was caused by the Church (old lady)

I wonder if all the past "major incidents" was also caused by the Church being stupid... which later gives the Church an excuse to kill Isekai people and find the ones that has "eternal youth" related powers they can use.

(cause only those with "eternal" powers are able to survive from being killed and send to the "hall")

___ ___ ___

Also... apparently Akari is Yandere... and her real (future) self is pretty much the same as the Church that would resort to anything, such as killing others or using others for her own benefit.

Another thing... since Akari's future memory is within her past self... does that mean Akari in the future did the rewind all the way back to her beginning? But somehow her memory stayed intact.... which sorta goes against when she first got stabbed and activated her power but does not have the memory of it... huh...

Seriously... Akari's pretty much an evil Subaru:Re:Zero...

She gone through so much Loop, she's also going the self-sacrificial route, where instead of trying to save everyone, she's trying to manipulate Menou into killing her so Menou doesn't end up dying by her master's hand.

(Which is funny, cause couldn't she just rewind the master instead, so the master doesn't end up killing Menou?... lol...)

___ ___ ___

Also, my theory on why Akari's time doesn't work on the "spacehusk" is cause "spacehusk" as they mentioned is meant to "bleach" everything, that includes Time.

Which adds to the above theory on the major incident caused by Church. Cause the Church somehow is able to capture a part of the "Spacehusk", this means just as the "whitening", the Isekai that had the "Spacehusk" was also manipulated into uncontrollable power and exploded and killed so the Church can capture and use their power anytime they want.

(just like the "salt sword" we've seen... that anyone could just pick it up and use it... such as the Church, aka Master Flare)

i didnt expect for Momo to become the most likable character, goes to show that a cliché obsessive characters can become likable if you can make us relate to them (and go all out with the edge)
what makes Momo special is her ability to hold back her feelings to not make Menou sad which is mature

So.. the thing that if "The Lost One uses their power continuously, they will gradually lose their control over it" was a lie? Because it seems Akari just used her concept of time more than I could've imagined.

Also, any reason why Akari keeps her memories sealed? Or it hasn't been revealed yet?

Sorry for my broken english, also TIA for the explanation.

for her sanity and hoping to introduce the element of chaos to get a good ending

everytime the lost ones use their power,
they will gradually lose their sanity and memory until they become the embodiment of their respective concepts

the main reason the other 4 major could be subdued was thx to the white/ ivory girl,
you know the one who bleached the world including menou's hometown

apparently summoning the ivory girl was originally part of the chruch plans to halt the other 4 major calamities from worsening,
the pure concept of ivory has the abilities to steal or at least seal other concepts

archbishop orwell simply has gone astray due to old age, shes misused the pure concept of ivory for her own personal gain,
she even went out of her way using ivory to create the 3 primordial stones whatever


I highly doubt anyone could bring around and use the sword of salt as casually as flare lol
she's just too OP to the point not even awakened akari who's also OP doesnt even consider the possibility of defeating her

Well the plot really thickens.

They went full Madoka Magica with the time stuff and one of the MCs began the story at a much earlier point than us. That scene of Menou dying was pretty sad.

I feel bad for Momo when her ribbons got destroyed.

Akari's future self must only come out at certain times so it's like Homura but if she had her innocent self and badass self stored away.

Well I'm glad to see the yuri is kicking strong with Akari constantly saying how much she loves Menou.

Honestly the show at this point is just Madoka Magica X Angels of Death. Time travel mixed with a promise to kill the other.

its a lot differnt than homura's situation tho

the only reason homura receives her time travel ability is due to madoka's death, cuz she gets killed by walpurgisnacht

thats why homura cant defeat walpurgisnacht no matter what,
its a paradox after all

in akari's case,

its all FLARE's fault
she's just too unstoppable for anyone (even for awakened akari) to handle

she always kills anyone who tries to protecc akari (the lost one)

so akari has no choice to die,
but menou doesnt want to kill her and akari only wants to be killed by menou

momo also cant escape death, cuz she tries to protecc menou who tries to protecc akari. iirc princess ashuna also dies, cuz she tries to protecc momo who tries to protecc menou who tries to protecc akari lol

This already is the best isekai of the season.

I'm just terrified it will WEP the bed, but if the ending delivers it will be one of my top shows of the season too.

Don't know why everyone's so obsessed with Menou, guess the main character syndrome at it again. And wait Akari did all of that so she can be killed by Menou and Menou alone, even leaping through all those time. Yeah very original plot point indeed.

its more like Akari wants to prevent Menou from getting killed by Flare cuz Menou fails to do her job as an Executioner

Akari is an amateur at hand to hand combat and she cant use her TimeHax to overwhelm Flare either,
its a literal dead end

as its showcased in this episode when Menou became Salt and when Akari's was unable to stop Ivory(White),
apparently even in [her Awakened Mode] Akari still cant do anything to Ivory and Salt. FYI the Sword of Salt and Ivory(White) looking Mud (the one Orwell used) are 2 Different Things, theyre not the same concepts. Especially the texture. Salt looks like Sand, Ivory is obviously a White looking Mud

Yea, it's quite weird how she can't do anything against the other concepts.

Tho... she technically did "win" against the other concepts...

Cause otherwise the first instance of her getting swallowed by Ivory should be the end. Yet... she somehow still rewinded time and prevented herself from being swallowed by Ivory. (cause there's always a "first" that happens, otherwise the "awakened" Akari would never have know she has to escape from the Ivory at that time, cause it happened once and she retained the memory of it happening.)

The same for Salt, while she can't reverse salt on Menou, she still rewinded time to the beginning and start her plans to prevent Menou from being killed by Flare.

By rewinding herself, she also rewinded back to a time when Menou isn't salt. Thus technically defeating Salt.

myb thats the reason why Flare called Akari an "incomplete pure concept of time"?



she's indeed "awakened" but not completely yet?

btw Akari used TimeHax before the Sword of Salt touched her precious Boobalicious, she did defeat it but in "a roundabout way"

or myb Ivory and Salt did touch Akari's fabulous Boobalicious once or twice butt she didnt get insta-killed and managed to activate TimeHax before she's dead for real?

from we've seen so far, neither Ivory nor Salt ever touched her sacred Boobalicious

The episode was extremely nice and well.. But my biggest problem was the use of Sound effects..

Especially for Akari time loop/jump abality.. David Production uses some top notch sound effects eg: Dio's "The World".. or fire force tension sound..


They really outta make some cool ass sound for when Akari uses ability to make us feel the deph of her power..

The overall battle was really good like Momo's going berserk over her yandere side when she lost the ribbon or just the team battle mind-Akari x Menou against Orwell which was pretty epic and it looks like Akari's power is even more OP than I thought since she's also transmitting memories of the future to her past self so she knows everything about Menou it looks like, very interesting episode overall.

I haven't said anything about it, until now, but referring to Menou as "Flarette" is utterly ridiculous. They should've chosen an analogy that better plays off flare: spark, kindling, tinder -- to name a few. Almost anything would be less obscure than Flarette.

The Faust dun goofed. They underestimated Akari's yuri powers.

Never able to stop it eh?


I will also mention that I was a bit disappointed with Momo's voice actor in this episode. For as intense as she was meant to come off, there wasn't much desperation in her fury. There was a clear disconnect between what was happening on screen and how it was being presented. And, to that end, I do feel as though this series is cutting corners a bit on the fighting scenes. Between Momo's flurry of punches, to Menou taking out Orwell with a beam attack, I feel like they aren't embracing their own concept of "Etheric" as much as they could be -- they aren't doing something that is uniquely their own.

So I’m about half way through this now despite the fact I accidentally stopped watching it for two months, and man it just keeps getting more interesting every episode, but with this halfway point some very wild plot revelations occurred. As it was hinted at during the train arc Akari is in fact resetting time and trying different methods of succeeding, and it was revealed here that she’s doing it for the sake of being killed by Menou lol, only in anime will you see plots like this, but it’s just crazy enough for me to be into it.

I also enjoyed the unhinged Momo we saw in this one, she’s been a fun character up to this point and taking the training wheels off (ribbons in this case lol) made her even more of a delight to watch in action. And defeating Orwell by rapidly aging her to wood pretty much is fitting giving her plans to become younger lol, glad she’s gone now and I’m guessing from the OP there’s some more villains to come, with that and these new Akari revelations I’m really excited to watch the rest of this. And I just want to mention again how amazing the OP and ED are, they’re both absolutely top tier.

I absolutely loathed isekai and hated every second of every scene if I'm being made to watch any. Eye-rolls guaranteed. Checked this one out because of its infamous right turn in the pilot on arguably one of the stalest genre of anime there is.

Great concept, definitely wasn't terrible as the rating suggests, but was truly pulling its feet for the first 5 episodes, until this one.

No idea what any of the magic mumbo jumbo meant but it doesn't matter to me, pretty fun to watch up to this point.
