I actually think this episode is alright, Reina is getting stronger by the minute^^ Cattleya manage to beat Airi which is good but she let her emotion get the better of her =.= Man...Aldora sure has imprison a lot of ppl., not sure can anyone free them now. I like Airi more now since she didn't abandon Rana when she could have done so :D

I would like to say this episode was in the first half more emotional to me. The second half was ok. The first half I was completely angry at Aldra for not only having frozen Owen (I assumed this earlier and was right with this episode) but also having frozen Cattleya. Apart from that the tears and cries of Rana/Cattleya made it even more painful. It was really really too bad Rana did not pierce that eye of Aldra with the spear, things might have gotten more interesting. Ymir's double strike technique was interesting but I found myself cheering more for Reina at the moment she used dragontail technique. It looked like Airi developed a soft spot for kids and even decided to take along Rana when his mom was gone. Risty is not controled completely, she was still able to stop herself from striking when Rana came to shield Airi.
The second half goes to much appreciation of Ymir keeping her honors with Reina because Ymir lost. A big laugh to the slaves of Menace because they had the same breast size, which was funny somehow. Big surprise and confusion of why would the Queen want Irma dead and sent Risty to do the job??? The fight of Claudette VS Menace will be interesting to see next episode and too bad Cattleya did not use her big sword against Aldra...it would have been interesting to see the result. Of course less pervert stuff and more action makes this series better for me.

Well, let's see how would like to feel if you are looking for a precious family member only to find them like this suddenly? I would feel devastated but better yet I would rage against the person most responsible for this. Cattleya failed at that really badly. I admit it was nice to have her swing that sword and beat in one shot Airi.

Sure, destroy the eye that made it like that and the crystals should break logically.

Yeah, she looks to have a soft spot for kids but I wonder why is that?

I was also really pissed off at Aldra for that, and also the evil smirk she gives when Cattleya realises Owen's been crystallised just makes me want to smack her!
I suppose that's the sign of a good baddie?

If Cattleya kept it together like Rana did, she might've dodged for cover like Airi and avoided being frozen, but sadly it seems the shock of finding Owen like that was too much for her. She fought well at least, and I'm sure we'll see her again.

Irma is trying to assasinate Aldra, so I can understand why Aldra would want to neutralise the threat. I don't think Irma has what it takes though - you'd have to have some mighty strong plot armour to avoid popsiclisation at the hands of the Queen :)

i'm just glad airi is still alive and still in the tournament.. nice twist there by making cattleya advantageous at first but only to break down at the sight of her frozen husband coz i'm obviously rooting for airi.. it's a good thing airi managed to get a sure escape flag by taking the kid.. yes.. taking care of the kid of your former opponent will save your butt.. hah.. reina vs ymir fight is kinda useless as expected coz reina will win due to main char advantage.. and aldra is a good villain.. i wonder who will win in the next battle.. i hope menace wins.. i like the trio of villains of queen's blade.. anyway.. if they keep doing good episodes like this, i might end up really really liking it.. but i still doubt it..

I can't believe in what happened to Cattleya. I was so happy that she could beat Airi, but then.. I got a little sad. =/ I used to hate Airi, but now I actually like her. Saving Rana was actually cute. haha

And woot for Leina as well! \o/ Can't wait for her to meet Listy.
Nice to see the story developing more and more. I'm actually surprised, this second season is turning out to be really good!

Well there is no guarantee they would still be alive after and 'if' the crystal break.
Though since this is an anime without a really grim story I think we can safely assume everyone trapped in those crystals will be set free in the end =)

Very good episode overall though, nice balance between ecchi, story and emotions.
I'm glad to see Reina is getting stronger on her own too, though I do wonder just how much force was behind that double strike, since it didn't even manage to break the wood boards on the bridge they where fighting on^^

Curious as of how the sword will look after Ymir's upgrade =D

awesome twist lol. Cattleya aka hippo lol.

I knew it that the 3 evil girls will be good girls too. YES! I love how they don't even take their evil roles that seriously lol, except for Airi of course, of the 3 she is most focus and serious :)

I really liked that much of the fights so far didn't involve any sudden power ups out of nowhere. Most of the people that won are better/stronger, and or there was a good twist to it. The Leina vs Ymir fight, sure Leina had main character advantage but I'm glad Ymir says that she lost not by direct skills vs Leina, but because of weapon difference.

Claudette vs menace, damn Claudette looks really strong so far, I think she is on Enchinida and that Elf instructors level. I love the 3 evil girls, but I haven't seen much of Menace powers, not sure if she can win.

The ED is the best, Melona is just so bouncy and sexy.

this episode was the best so far airi was already 1 of the characters i liked better but now even more.

as for the battle yes she won but not on strength she clearly underestimated catteleya's strength but i am happy airi won. airi seem to run out of power and use the souls as fuel and to be able to keep her clothes on lol everything seemed to be fainting if she kept fighting that can be bad for her in upcoming battles (good for us).

it is good to know what happened to catteleya's husband.

i had a good laugh when the kid keep pulling on airi's skirt and she doesn't react at all just hit away the hand not knowing who it was just accepting it :O and when she brought back the kid menace was funny with her joke.

airi seems to know all this things like the evil eye and living weapon and stuff like that wonder if she knows then how to stop the queen.

as for next battle of claudette vs menace idk what to expect so far claudette seems way over powered for other but menace might be pretty strong to not much seen of her fighting yet but i just feel she is good to.

i am a bit rooting so claudette's site since she is strong and she is nice to watch as a character.

but i am not to sure who will win so far the show have been kicking out people who you don't expect to be kicked out so its not safe to assume claudette will win not to mention if she do there is only 1 demon left in competition so that is making it even less certain for me but based on stats i guess claudette will manage to win or she might lose but will stay to support her sisters who knows.

the nudity is still nothing to complain about but it was a bit less in this episode :( but o well i am sure more next episode and i am enjoying the other aspects also so it is okay to have a bit less sometime.

I kinda expected that plot twist .
I can't stand Catteleya for 2 obvious huge reasons .
That ending song .
I hope Menace wins next fight ,because Claudette is so mainstream.

That kid is annoying. The Queen should've just petrified him as well. At least his 'abnormal' mother is out of the picture... for now.

Reina winning was not really surprising, another one-shot. I'm actually still surprised what a nice girl Airi is, makes me doubt if she's even one of the bad guys ^^ And that ending song is still so damn catchy, no matter if Merona, Menace or Airi sings :3

Yay, a full ep. with Airi. She put up a nice fight, but Cattleya would have conquered her if she didn't saw her petrified husband . Oh well, she got the same fate. So now we know if you don't look directly into the light you won't get petrified and turned into a stone figure. Cute to see Airi being a parent to the little guy. I loved the ending with Airi too. Personally I think she had the best ending, but that's only my opinion. Melona had the 2nd best ending.

Next time it's gonna be the forgotten princess against Claudette. It's pretty obvious who the winner is, just like how obvious it was that Reina would win in this ep. ^^

And Reina has won by the power of the main character. Of course. What did you expected.

Ymir losing to Leina was quite expected due to her plot armor.

"Take a look at this high quality battle axe. If you buy now, you can get a design of your choice carved onto it for free!"

Ymir sounds like Billy Mays. xD

Cattleya broke down after she saw he husband being petrified. So, Airi won the battle. It's nice that she's now taking care of Rana.

Claudette vs. Menace next.

Nice Airi ending.
