Damn, Wayne has a lot of enemies or at least those who wants him dead in this show. Can't say I'm surprised now with his reputation and popularity though.

Interesting to see characters from the Marden Kingdom show up though, especially Zeno.

Wayne is invited by King Kabarine to the Levetian Holy Spirit Festival. Aiming for the Kabarine Kingdom with Ninim, the journey was fraught with many dangers. It's just that I'm still confused by Falanya's promise, ana? Potato? It's a large area outside the royal stronghold but why isn't there anything there? Ninim is really good at ambushing from behind, it looks like Ninim is not a secretary but a bodyguard. Recommend Wayne Salma Alvarest as a new candidate? Let Zeno attend his speech? In order to regain the believers' peace of mind, they will all be crushed and extremely panicked.

Hopefully it's too late for everyone.

Wein's in a pinch again, wonder how he'll get out of it this time. Caldmellia seems pretty dangerous, I'd like to see Wein take her down a notch or two. Also it's pretty obvious that Zeno's the actual prince/princess.

Pretty good episode.

This episode didn't have huge complicated info dumps like previous ones, this one was fun and enjoyable for the most part.

Ninym looks really kawai with black hairs too. That starting scene was fun. NGL I love these Wein and Ninym casual interactions, they are so fun to watch, their chemestry is great, I always have a huge smile on my face while watching them.

It seems some people are planning to take over Natra in absence of Wein.

There is some stuff going on with these high elites too, it's a huge mess.

That Wein's tantrum on sofa was hilarious af.

Things are getting much more serious and interesting now.

5/5 episode. Looking forward to next one.

The King of Cavarin's invitation with the remnants of the Kingdom of Marden on the loose while Wein and Ninym make their way to Cavarin, and their moments only continue to get better, as such with Ninym's black hair. And that's top up with an internal rebellion within Natran walls.Ain't a wise decision to invite Wein at this time to be chased down for the kill.

The Levetia Festival of the Spirit being the invited to, and the Jihaat Gold Mine from Episode 1 has turned a profit for the Natran people to enjoy life, but they can't be complacent with employment turnover. Even more so that the rebellion has turned Cavarinian soldiers against Wein, and Zeno of the Free Mardenian Forces speaking on behalf of Helmut has Wein deduced of their current strength to defeat Cavarin forces by proposing a temporary alliance as a countermeasure to the High Elites. Most certainly, Wein has skills transferred from his counter with Lowa.

Every probability of measure to eliminate Wein, the genius prince takes steps forward to deduce the possibilities while playing a farce with opposing forces. And to have an audience with the Holy Elites of Marden...both sides are as shocked as they are when King Ordalasse of Cavarin invited Wein to be nominated as part of them...WHICH IS BAD ENOUGH. Fair enough, but since Wein's roots have a pinch of Cavarin in it, integration into the bloodline is a necessity, and enemies like Caldmellia are an entry force.

The internal Natran rebellion, the Holy Elites of Marden...Wein really has a lot on his plate to figure out who is friend or foe. Considering how many enemies there are than friends, I'm sure that Wein will always find a way out from his genius tactics.

Given her race's trademarked hair a disguise is always needed when going to foreign lands. But have to say the hair colour really suits Ninym. After the brief war its nice to see the mine and the miners still seem to be in good shape. While the ambush was predictable being saved by the Marden's that you recently only defeated was not. Their brief meeting at the castle was frosty but did well to introduce Zeno. As ever Wein's ability to negotiate with others in risky situations is as amazing as ever. By themselves Zeno's forces wouldn't last but with help they may be able to survive. Ah so the creepy man from before was the one that caused Marden's downfall. Behind the scenes looks like the holy elite have many schemes as well especially Lady Caldmelia. Overall an excellent ep that did an excellent job of expanding upon the world by introducing not only the land of Cavarin but also the Free Mardian army and the Holy Elites while laying the foundations for a future confrontation with the west. Its been a while but its nice to hear Mamiko Noto's voice again in a new role.

Great episode! Ninym with black hair = 2nd to Ninym white white hair though xD. Wein was talking about Ninym's underwear colour too lol. Noogie time was funny too! Wein gets invited to the festival of the spirit and as always, people are out to get him...
And WOW. ZENO THE WOMAN WITH THE BLUE HAIR AND THE ONE EYE COVERING HAIR LOOKS AWESOME! King Ordalasse nominated Wein to join the Holy Elites. Ninym's lip reading skills are great.

Great episode!

Wein is really in a tough spot now, ain't he? Curious to see how he makes his way out of this situation. It also seems like a certain group's planning to take over Natra in his absence. Well, seems like a lot's going on and thankfully I am enjoying it. 4/5

"Trust gains value when there's potential for treachery?" So in other words you can trust someone if there's a high possibility of being backstabbed? How the fuck does that line makes any sense? Yet another asspull to make Wein look like a smooth talker that can get out of any situation.

The way Wein convinced Lady Zeno to become his ally reminded me of Dukovnik & Stiller's banter talk about male models in Zoolander. Zeno just said OK just because Wein barfed a soliloqui that literally makes no sense and the story needs Zeno to become an ally.



And why the fuck does there needs to be flashbacks of Lowellmina and Wein from the previous arc? If he's trying to shift Zeno into his own temporal troops. Zeno most likely has never met Lowellmina. Why would she care about her manipulative schemes, specially when things didn't work how she originally planned them.

no clue why they just jumped over Wein somehow bullshitting Zeno into teaming up with him only to cut back to it with hardly any real grounds of a solid argument but sasuga Wein-sama

though there seems to be a lot on the plate right now names were being drop for the first time at rapid speeds i'll be shocked if Wein somehow doesn't get out of this with much issue



go on reddit just to see 80% of the comments are about hair lol..

Welp, now Wein has found himself in a new mess with these holy elites or whatever they were called, but I love the addition of Zeno, she has a great design and I’m liking her character so far, and Cadmellia is kinda scary based on what she said about the Marden troops, but is also hot lol, but I like her as a villain, nice addition as well. Also black haired Ninym, not as good as white haired but still great because it’s Ninym lol.

So while Wein is at the capital, the nobles decided to cause a "revolution" lmao, hope it bites them back x2.

So we met Zeno, it seems that she still has a long way to go to follow up on Wein's thoughts but i like her, she will definitely have to fight some of the big guys!

Felt like they were bouncingh around a lot in the beginning of the episode but things slowly started to come together. I feel like that General who retired will come back strong in one way or another.

So those cloaked people were in Natra but in the shadows? Interesting.

Oh man Blonde and Tits is trouble...of course.

I am eagerly awaiting next week now!

Honestly not sure why this episode is getting good ratings, one of the few bad episodes in this series. The whole Marden alliance made no sense from the obviously hidden princess, the usual revenge plot, and the bland and typical crazy religious people. Did the writer forget how to write in the episode? I gave it a 2 but the more I think about it I probably should have given this garbage episode a 1. I will watch next week to see if it gets better but from the look of things this is gonna go downhill fast.

Well, once again fast forward through half a LN volume with major cuts.

At this point this is really a LN commercial although with very good voice actors.

Not the strongest episode but it was okay, althought I should had knew this was gonna be the beginning of a new arc, I am wondering if they will end it in 2/3 episodes like the others

I found it sad that they put 2 whole Light Novels in 4 episodes, might consider try to read them to get more details in everything BUT I am still enjoying the show

well I think it helps, however they did change a few things in anime.

Edit: also so far they have not explained why King of Cavarin would want Wein to become a Holy Elite and why Wein would even consider it (what is the benefit for Natra).
I hope they at least touch on that in the next episode.

He could've said to her that he likes both colors. Not just her hair color.

It seems that blonde chick along with her fellow kind aren't so...kind along with the king. And while Wein is away, Natra is in trouble and not just him. Wonder if he'll eliminate him or something. Looking forward what he'll do next.

Ninym dyeing her hair black is like seeing a shooting star right before your eyes rare and beautiful

Visiting a country and getting ambushed that's a mark on the bingo card, Wein's got some heavy strength for carrying those massive balls of his man's avoiding death

So world building is still underway I just hope I can process all this shit and hopefully I still can catch up guessing what's next

So Wein gets proposal to become holy chosen lord?.. Gets it as present or something, but also it being pushed on him.. Is Wein even part of that religion to begin with to become holy person?.. Not like in history there weren't plenty of cases, where someone became holy, when initially being part of another religion.. And also no idea, if Wein is part of one or not..
