Satou always seems to have a target on his back. No surprise again from this episode.

We do see the next main girl making her appearance in the water nation with Saphir making her appearance. She was in the promo and has an alluring presence. Not to mention, we also get to meet her sister this episode too. Lucky guy.

Human, elf, beastmen, demon... What comes next? Perhaps gods?

Satou, who visited Maasa, the Water Kingdom, unexpectedly ends up marrying Princess Saphir of the Ring in an unexpected turn of events. The group was thrown into turmoil, but Saphir believed that she needed the power of the Ring King to save her homeland, which was dominated by the Empire of Gisaras. Meanwhile, Satou finds himself targeted by a mysterious assassin. Additionally, Saphir's twin sister, Saphira, also seems to have a significant connection with Marss.

This episode really opened my eyes to the fact that this anime feels like a budget version of Lord of the Rings, but with added harem and romance elements. And now, with Saphir in the mix, we've covered all the 'deres' of waifus: Tsundere Wife ✔️, Dandere Wife ✔️, Kuudere Wife ✔️, Himedere Wife ✔️. The only one left is either Bakadere or Yandere. Personally, I wouldn't mind a Yandere ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). It's funny how each waifu initially sees Satou as a good-for-nothing idiot and insults him, only to completely change their view later for the sake of "plot convenience." And then there's Marss, acting like he had any say in the matter. Seriously, why does everyone suddenly think Marss had ANY influence? He wasn't even close to either of them, the ring can't be stolen, and it seems it can only be given willingly... Are we all just acting dumb now?

Well, at least for once, we got the ring as soon as we entered the Kingdom.

Satou got a 4th wife in just a few minutes. Got to be a new record.

Got to see Marse backstory and some geopolitical worldbuilding about the empire. With guilt and burden of duty on him, Marse surely break when presented with power.

That was the fastest ring to obtain for sure haha, and the ring princess of water has a fun personality it seems: looking forward to seeing more of her in the rest of the season!
Her twin sister love story with Marse is both adorable and sad, I hope they will get a good end.

Last but not least, we end the episode on quite the cliffhanger: will Marse, who has been there from the start to support Satou, betray him?

No chit-chatting or anything just immediately going for her task to fulfill the princess role, love it. My favorite part was the sunbathing scene with Granart wanting to make babies and arguing with Krystal about the order and then Saphir showing up, what a sight it was.

Saphir is low key my favorite. She's smarter than the other princesses and has a more pragmatic view of the world too. Look forward to seeing her tease the crap out of Hime in the ned next couple of episodes.

Best girl finally here! We meet the water princess Saphir who unlike the others, actually comes straight for Satou and is very willing to marry him. There’s starting to be so many different personalities in this harem, bro has a wife for every mood lol.

Biggest story of the episode is Marse situation with Saphir’s sister. Sacrificing your own engagement to help someone else in need is pretty heroic. Satou may not be the strongest person physically yet, but his mental fortitude to chase after Hime into another world, letting go of everything he knew back home, is nothing but commendable. Marse’s comment from episode 2 or 3 about how brave satou was for doing that makes sense now. He wishes he could’ve done the same for the girl he loves. I wish nothing but the best for them.

Decent amount of fanservice in this one, it’s a fantasy show so you know we had to have a pool scene and it was great! The girls all looked nice in their different swimsuits, Saphir’s being the most interesting of all 😂 and Hime better be careful cause Granart is about to jump the line and take Satou asap.

Back to Marse, again finds himself in a difficult position. Now he’s got to kill Satou?? His dad is messed up for putting all this on him.

Another good episode

EP 7

Oh so we really are at the water one now eh. that leaves uhh.
Though they did hint that something is going to happen


Anyway so yeah setup for next ep, cliffhanger.

It's a bit unfortunate but like, with hime, nef, granart and saphir now, even though saphir was just introduced she didnt have that much time, and hime/nef/granart had barely any time too, alas.

I actually wonder if this will be 3 eps, or if they'll just wrap it up next up.
I do kinda wonder what kind of development (or lack of) that we'll get next episode. It does seem like, they were/are really trying to cram as much content as they can.

As an anime only I wonder if any content was skipped from the manga. At the same time I'm not like overly motivated to go and see
It's kinda weird because we see saphir's father and twin sister but where is the mother? Shrug

I'm a bit biased because of hime and nef, but saphir is making a good attempt at best girl, even though she just showed up and had limited screentime (mostly because nef had like almost no screentime this ep ahue)

I actually had a guess, but I didnt realize that saphir really is kakuma ai. It's not quite her usual voice, but something about it really gave me the impression. Thats weird though. But anyway yeah kakuma ai.

Saphira is...ono yuko? Curious. Then again well.
EDIT: Rewatching the ep, either its really her or animelist listed the wrong person.
Checking the credits it does appear to be her though so I guess she just used a totally different voice. It has been years after all

I do kinda feel sad though, if we had 3 eps per girl instead of 2 it wouldnt feel so rushed. But alas.

Definitely the quickest Satou has acquired a babe, but it wasn’t quite as easy as simply adding another wife to the harem, there’s a whole ordeal going on with the new princess Saphir’s homeland that has to do with the Gisaras Empire, which is also in relation to Marse. So it turns out Marse handing over the duty of Ring King caused issues with his beloved Saphira, Saphir’s sister, and now the empire is breathing down his neck too so things aren’t looking good for Marse lol, I’m thinking the Abyss King is actually controlling the empire tho.

But that’s enough plot, now let’s get to the actual plot, being the fanservice lol. The pool scene was really nice, girls looked great in their swimsuits and Saphir made her less voluptuous self look more appealing with the tiniest bikini known to man lol, Granart also had a good scene where she tried skipping to the front of the line to smash Satou, unfortunately it doesn’t look like that’s happening anytime soon with Hime at the front of the line, no offense to Hime lol. And so far I’m liking Saphir a lot, she’s definitely the most clever of the babes so far and I really like her design with the dark hair and horns, this show really has a waifu for everyone.

Quickest marriage yet, but having the political intrigue not revolve around the princess this time is a nice twist, and we're getting backstory too.
also I think this is the least ecchi ep yet, cute swimsuit scenes though.

Satou got married to Saphir pretty quickly but is going through it with the assassination plots.

Marse is also going through it with a big decision to make. Kill Satou and redeem himself in the eyes of the Emperor, or help Satou instead. I'm sure he'll help Satou, but it'll be interesting if he doesn't.

If Marse came back for his princess and her big sister but the bullet that one of them had to and married the Rink King, what is keeping Younger Princess and Marse from getting married? It seems pretty straightforward and clean.

Marse and the princess situation is a bit of a joke, and just written this way for such cheap garbo melodrama. Seems like the writer is betting on this "vow" nonsense as the shitty reasoning for extending this subplot, which there's many ways for all this to be simply handled.

Pettan princess makes her appearance and is, quite predictably, the one that I think will be the best girl in the end. She's got the snark down and seems to have no issue flaunting her pettanko body. Quite rare, considering most pettan characters always have breast envy when surrounded by bustier girls so this is nice.

Holy shit that was the fastest way he got a ring and another wife, Saphir out here speeding running marriage that’s why she’s the best girl 😭😭😭😭

Marse’s character looks to be very complex and I like it tbh we finally get to see that this dude has a personality instead of just being a tag a long which I thought was weird tbh bc what was bros role? And we got our answer in this episode, looks like Marse has been reporting the actions of Satou to his dad all while feeling like shit for what he did to Saphira in all honest I don’t think he’s a bad guy he just has a lot of shit burdening him…LET MY BOY BE HAPPY🙁🙁🙁

We didn’t get no uncensored stuff but we did get our usual beach episode which is such a common trope which I love so much, we got to see all the girls in their swimsuits and I just gotta say Granart Kyrstal and Nefritis looked so fine with titties just all over the place but Saphir really went with the most daring swimsuits which I am NOT complaining at all she looked good with her petite body😫😩

Marse's crucial choice to become King of the Ring. Even though he could have become King of the Ring, he gave it up because it seemed like it was for Hime's sake too. Also the Water Ring Saphir has become Satou's wife.

Next we will see what happens to Marse.

This has to be a record in as how quickly a girl married Satou, it was done before the opening credits rolled lol.

About Marse, I didn't realize he was acting as a spy for his father and brother but now he has a big decision to make, I'm curious as to what he'll do.

Saphir might’ve quickly became my favorite character for this series, she definitely provided a spark to the group that was beginning to seem a tad too mellow. Them all (except Hime) ganging up on his looks was pretty hilarious as well

The Land of Water Kingdom Maasa is next to find the Ring of Water, though for its princess, Saphir is fast and wastes no time to make her move. That's why she's the best girl of the harem.

But things in Maasa is not as simple as it seems, and it takes the Marse Empire's imperial army under Sluder Grisaras to govern the place. Furthermore, since the Abyss is closest to the Land of Water, that's why there is much force adopted to protect the Great Falls Enyumaasa, along with the kingdom. But indeed, getting the Ring of Water THAT easily has its troubles as well: the king devoid to the Abyss, and her twin sister Saphira...being very judging of Satou on face value. And as to the reason why Marse fled away from her, they had once sworn their love...as a truce between two empires: Gisaras and Maasa.

Much like the Great Sage's story, Marse and Saphira's love story had its true shape, but internally, it was all a farce as he was going to be the Ring King, but he abandoned his duty, both to himself and Saphira. And adding the mysterious Oracle, there is definitely connections to the Empire. The fanservice moment with the sunbathing...is rather decent, as much as Satou wants to know why Marse abandoned his role in the face of pressure and obligation to his betrothed. And now, he's bring threatened by the Oracle to kill Satou and reclaim the rings for the Empire.

The coward, what's he to do about Satou?

I can't believe we got another ring princess so quickly! Saphir seems like a great addition to the dynamic, and she's a dragon girl to boot.

Marse on the other hand is getting forced to do unsavory things by his kingdom that go against his wishes. I have faith he'll do what's right though. He's a total bro.

It's literally that Skyrim meme. "Hey, you see that legendary ring king with a powerful mage and the strongest cat warrior alive? Let's send some thugs to kill him." lol
Also that's one of the weirdest romance dramas I've ever seen. "You don't even love me enough to risk your life becoming the ring king and getting married to four other women?" xD
Best girl is still the cat lady and it's not even close.
