| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Cool, they introduced more characters in this arc such as Roroa, Maria, and Castor, and Georg. Unfortunately, it seems not everyone is on the same page with Georg deciding to take on a military solution. Despite some of the drama, I thought they managed to handle the episode really well in terms of character execution. Kazuya was faced with some of the top members of their society but still managed to be there for his people. |
 |
| So the war started, it will be pretty interesting to see this animated. Castor proving to be stubborn just like his daughter earlier, and Carmin showing how resolute he is. Then there is the enemy nation who's leadership seems rather questionable. |
| Can't wait for the war to end next episode and MC marrying for peace. Because why not, he is allowed a limit of eight wives right, lmao. |
 |
| It's ABOUT TIME that the anime finally reached the part of the Three Dukedoms (Georg, Castor and Excel), and of course, the Principal of Amidonia with King Gaius and first princess Roroa with being the neutral party to take advantage and wipe the war between Elfrieden (Kazuya's land) and Carmine clean unsuspectingly. It is this henceforth that Kazuya has to weave through this mass conference in bold clarity, and he got the individualized answers from each of the Three Dukes. Excel is in, while Georg and Castor are out due to the grudgss of their past with Elfriden. Liscia IS BOLD to cut her hair in the witness of the Three Dukes as solidarity to Kazuya, and the outcome can never be changed. Excel is saved because of Juna, the daughter working her ways around her mother, and the war is all but inevitable. |
 |
| Looks like things are about to get really serious in the next episodes, and I'm all for it. Gotta teach those 2 stubborn dukes a lesson. |
 |
| War arc lets gooo, liscia showing her resolve was pretty cool. Way to stand up for your man. Looking forward to the next few episodes after some solid build up these past two weeks. |
 |
| I guess Souma is the kind of person who can't rest if there's too much work to do. Still overworking yourself helps no one so it was nice to see Juna be able to get Souma to rest. Its nice that we finally get to see the leaders of the military though. Fundamentally the primary purpose for creating the Duke's and the decentralized branches was sound but it also served to create a potent threat should the three choose to unite as one and oppose a leader that while beloved by the people were not by the dukes. The talk with the dukes was interesting and added some great tension to the ep. Its unfortunate about Castor and Vargas but at least Excel Walter proved wise enough. That was a pretty bold display from Liscia though to show her resolve. Overall an excellent ep that featured a nice combo of light hearted moments with lore expansion and tension via the intro of Ruroa and Colbert and the talk with the dukes. With the upcoming battle with Castor and Vargas and the invasion as well Souma and Liscia sure have their hands full. Looking forward to next week now. |

| What an intense episode. Honestly, I don't want this episode to end. I really looking forward to the war. Liscia, please don't cut your hair, pleasssseeee. You are looking better with long hair. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Damn really great episode today! I am interested to see how this war shakes out! Along with Roroa and her brother wanting to get out of Amadonia and away from their crazy father the King. Going to be an interesting rest of the season! Liscia looked pretty good with short hair. |

| Nice that we got introduced to this nice characters. Liscia is cutting her hair that was a cool scene she makes impression to the other 3 kingdoms. Overall very talkative episode. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Damn, this episode did a great job building up the tension and intensity in anticipation for the war. I can't wait for next week's episode. |
| Great! the beginning of the one-week war, I was waiting for this since it's one of my fav part! Also there is Liscia's new haircut, it looks pretty good to be honest, better than before!! |
 |
| EEE, if they do the weird camera rotation again, I'll kill myself Souma's got balls eh? The way he spoke to the three dukes, my compliments Noooo, Liscia's long hair :c. Well, I'll have to get used to it... I already want to see how the traitors get their asses kicked 0.0 |
| Oh yes.. the politics out of the way. It's finally reached time for the war arc. Time for Souma to show his true power. XD God damnnn I remember this part Lisca cut her hair. Noooo. |
| Souma's determination in the end was truly amazing. Same goes for Lisica who showed her resolve by cutting her head. It looks like War will start soon. Two of the Three Dukedoms will be fighting against Souma and the Excel Walter sided with Souma. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| That lion dude and the dragon dude are dumb af and that dragon dude's daughter is even dumber. |
 |
| I'm intrigued about a war arc, since it could shake things up. But I'm not really hyped. I think this is the show's weak spot, is that it's too interested in making Souma the perfect leader. He's so much better than everyone else, that things fall flat when they try to add conflict. Here's hoping he makes a few crucial missteps. Though considering civilians and locations will be safe, a lot of the possible consequences are off the table. |
| This episode was amazing, it feels like we are near the climax of the series. The first scene made me jealous of Souma 😅 Juna's been a big help to him along with Liscia and the group. I just love Souma's resolve and wits as king and to think that he's from another world. |
 |
| Urgh, another hair cutting scene. That trope can feck off. Lost of talking this episode, found myself nodding off, honestly i don't get the hype with this series. |
| Yuna MVP this episode, otherwise Souma had a war against all three of them. Loved Liscia's resolve, even though I still dislike characters cutting their hair... XD |
 |
| It was a boring episode for me ... And I'm not usually the type of person to get really bothered by hair cutting scenes. But this one felt so forced and for no good reason, that kinda pissed me off. She doesn't look as pretty now, just ruined it for me. At least I'm not too much of a fan of this show so I can deal with it in the meantime |
 |
| Finally after such a long time, they take the interesting part in the end. Almost lost interest to continue, but the conflict with the three dukedoms always be intriguing me. But the execution, unfortunately, kinda feel like, its still lacking some good impact for my own enjoyment. Idk why. For the story itself, everything just be clear. The land army and air forces rejected to unite under one Souma's banner, and the result expected to be the war. Pride always be the classic reason for those senile men. Then the young man expected to called them a fools, without a doubt, clearly stated how big this mc stood out at that crucial moment. Lets see how well Souma manage all of his confident in the battlefield. Well, ofc it will be get a good end. Meanwhile, Amidonia also be ready to strike from behind, stealing the promised land that they wish to be avenged from their neighbor nation. In the other side, the jealousy also be another reason for that little nation of mercenary to sent forward their little forces. But, their little princess looks like also had her own move, kinda goes straight to Elfrieden capital, to solved the stupid conflict her old man and foolish brother had, with her own way. You know what she mean? Well, you already get one more fire in the hole, Souma-sama. Be ready.... |

| Oh for fuck's sake anime girls, can you stop cutting your hair to show your resolve and character development, please? :'( The princess of Amidonia looks like fun, I'd like to see more of her. Carla on the other hand... yeah, not the best start for her. |
| Souma sure was tired there. Juna made him sleep in an instant. Souma is doing a great job as a king but in a kingdom where everything's going fine after all this time. There's always gonna revolt and the dangers of outside kingdom attacking the throne. It's the same case here. Souma is being declined as their king by not one but two of the dukes. This is surely the time to be worried about since another kingdom is going to attack and some of us are not getting along with the new king. Glad to see that Liscia is gonna stick by Souma's side. |
 |
| Damn, that was really fucking intense. Great episode! After the shit that happened last episode, I am sure Souma was stressed. Since Souma didn't want Liscia to see his weak self, I am glad Juna was there to take care of his weakness. Amidonia really setting themselves up for failure, keep on doing that ya clowns. Roroa seems to be way better than her father and brother though. Hope Roroa and Colbert go join Elfrieden, they'll be able to do much more there. Boy, that zoom meeting was intense. Duke Carmine is indeed an idiot, but I can respect his warrior spirit. From what I remember at the beginning, Liscia used to be under Duke Carmine's military, so her cutting her hair is proof of her resolve in supporting Souma. Best girls Liscia and Juna really out here putting in work. At one of the three dukedoms allied with them, Excel Walter, thanks to Juna. Really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Ohh Liscia-hime's hair. She's still pretty with it shorter. The episode is great even though my brain is going to explode of what they are talking about you know what I'm saying. hahaha. looking forward next week for what will happen with this war. |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| finally a good episode after that long long boring episode !! |
| Yeah, this is the worse 'cutting off my hair to show my resolve' moment I've ever seen |

Rukodaime91 said: I didn't feel any tension about two Dukes declaring war... Maybe because I don't even understand the reason for having a war in the first place. Basically, we're going into war just because the former King did not explain this decision (of summoning Souma) and he's too lazy to explain it now. It's not like the Duke argued with Souma he was not doing a good job. The justification is too shallow for justifying war. Also, I didn't even notice a real build-up leading to this war. Wouldn't have been so much better if Souma made a terrible mistake and then they ask him to resign... But Souma has no place to go and want to make up for his mistake so he stands up for his kingdom even if it means going to war... because the Duke want to reinstate the former King and Souma knows the former King is too weak and the Kingdom would get rekt by the other Kingdom. PS : Instead of cutting her hair, Hime-sama should have tried to convince the Duke that Souma was a reliable king. Cutting your hair to show resolve... that's so uncessary. In Naturo, Sakura did it when she was fighting a Ninja and Ino did it to be able to use her ninpo against Sakura. Here ? Not so much. I mean, when people will die for no reason in the war, no one is gonna care she cut her hair... The air force dude doesn't really feel to have a reason outside glory and following the other Duke ideals. He has more or less the exact mindset the guy friend with that wolf earth mage had (funnily enough, they come from the same army). On the other hand we have the Lion, I'd say he stated his reasons pretty well. He is old, so he is reluctant to change. He feels like Souma is not considering tradition as something to cherish (let's not forget that Liscia thought something similar when Souma sold some of the kingdom treasures to make money for the people to eat) as well as conidering position and name as the most valuable thing (pointed out by the fact he doesn't care that the ex-ministers were stealing money, on his eyes they have to remain ministers because they already were), and thus want to put the former king on the throne again and regain the old ways. You say that he doesn't state that Souma does a bad job, but when you have someone willing to accept and defend people that has been sentenced after being proven is actively hurting the kingdom and breaking the law, you think he has any right to talk? He is a good representation of one of the worst problems we always have, old people being in charge because "experience" but them opposing to any idea presented by someone younger just because is "new and different, when the old ways have always ''''''worked''''''". |
| Waifus only represent ideals |
| Cant wait for war and also glad to see junna |

Just want to elaborate on Castor since it's cut from the anime. Castor and Carmine are good friends. After the meeting of the generals and before the Ultimatum with Souma he begins to hesitate due to Excel trying to convince him to listen to reason and Carla receiving letters from Liscia trying to get them to join Souma. He ultimately chooses his loyalty to his friend over his loyalty to his country which is why he says he'll only participate in the war with his personal unit of 100troops, instead of the entire airforce. |

| Can someone explain to me how cutting your hair off shows resolve. For me it just looks like a shit haircut and bad writing |
| I have just one question: how the flying fk are they going to finish adapting volume 2 in four more episodes at this pace? I'm afraid they're gonna start rushing soon. |
| Yet these hands will never hold anything. Thus I pray, Unlimited Waifu Works!  |
| Wth is up with anime girls randomly ruining their look by chopping off their hair. Liscia looks terrible with that hair now. Anyway, this anime has been a bit disappointing for me (especially animation), as I was really looking forward to it. Souma as the mc is the lone bright spot imo. |
