| As usual, Saito's party gets attacked or encounters trouble on their adventure. What's actually more interesting this episode is that are certain powerful objects that exist in their world. Also, a lowkey shoutout to Primas this episode for her colorful personality. This episode also took a bit of a darker turn too. |
 |
| This episode was suddenly turning into a depressing and dramatic episode. You foolish fairy, Primas. What you did was not helping your friend at all, in another way it made everything gone worse. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Ayo, what just happened? The stakes suddenly are way higher with a mage that manipulated time, a demon god and all the secondary characters coming together along with the Ninja's backstory from what seemed to be just a gag. This was way sooner than I expected and I don't know where this is going anymore. |

| Well... that happened. That was quite the tonal shift, and it suddenly has become dramatic and dark. Too bad they didn't just let them have the time artifact to save the witch. |
| That sure escalated fast. I feel like they could have come to an understanding if they talked things out but the Ninja's too desperate to do that. Watching all of the groups come together to help Saitou was nice. |
 |
| "Thicc" fairies? This anime is apparently catering to all fetishes. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| great episode, turning from full comedy into tragic tones and it's only 5th ep. |
| Damn man I feel really bad for the ninja and his party. Things went from gag comedy to potential tragedy quickly. The use of flashbacks and intertwining narratives was really cool. So is morlock the wizard who can control time and has just forgot or ? Was a little confused on that. I don’t think everyone makes it out this fight alive whether it’s primasse, the elf or someone else so we’ll def need some type of time magic. Another awesome Saitou ep. Sucks the score for this is dropping |

| SHITTTTT ANOTHER CLIFFHANGERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAHHHHHHHHHH |
 |
| this is the most intense episode yet |
| This series is not just comedy, I noticed some "DanMachi" vibes even before but in this episode they were stronger. |
| This show got real intense real quick, but I'm here for it! I understand why everyone is saying they should just let the ninja have the Time Wizard artifact but to be fair it's his own fault that he hasn't gotten it, the others might've been more willing to listen if he hadn't gone around killing all the adventurers that he came across. Really loving how a bunch of unrelated stories that seemed like one-off gags suddenly converged into a very interesting, complex and high-stakes story! |
 |
| What a sad episode... I am glad that Franlil only lost her right ear. And Kisurugi is not so bad. He simply tried to save his beloved. |
 |
| What the fuck just happened there!? Okay, so everyone has a super sad back story, and so what, other people get to die because you fucked up, nice. Ninja and co are all round fucking idiots. |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| Sorry but I did laugh a bit at the end there. I mean, the fairy summons this powerful Berserk lookin' ass monstrosity in this extremely dramatic scene, all for it to just... take off half the elf's ear. And then everyone's screaming about it like it's any sort of life-threatening injury. Given how the thing looks, I think the elf got off lightly lmfao. Was almost expecting it to obliterate her entirely |
| well that escalated quickly! |
| They really got cooking this episode. Great fight and its fun seeing the whole cast come together. |
| The tone for this show is all over the place, it's fine to have a mix but the execution just isn't there. I can empathize with the ninja and his pals when it comes to their goal but I feel no sympathy for them or how they chose to go about saving the witch. While I can appreciate Saitou's peaceful attitude it certainly was foolish and I'm glad other around him pointed out why it wasn't a possibility. Honestly I would love to know why he needed to keep attacking and killing random adventurers to find the time mage... feels like he could do that without causing unnecessary conflict. They basically were swatting at a bee hive to get to the honey. Also why show that the elf only lost her ear in that attack... not much of a tense cliffhanger when you see she only lost an ear, if anything they should have showed her get attacked and falling but don't show how damaged she is till the next episode. I'm interested in learning more about Morlock now, his past is getting more interesting for sure. Seems more than old age is at play with is memory. |
| Holy shit, I didn't expect that wholesome story with the Ninja and Witch to turn depressing. This the kind of shit you'd see in the last episode where everyone comes together, but we're only at the 5th episode. Honestly hope we get a happy ending for everyone. |

borderliner said: They are idiots, yes, but even in their group as you noticed there are fraternal bonds. Even among the most creepy and fallen demons. I don't justify his horrible behavior, no, I simply understand the power of love which can overcame all. That is why I rate Benriya so high, 9 from me.What the fuck just happened there!? Okay, so everyone has a super sad back story, and so what, other people get to die because you fucked up, nice. Ninja and co are all round fucking idiots. thunderkitten13 said: Yes, I simply cried when watching this episode.Pretty impressive how the show manages to make you care about a character you have seen less than five minutes of. I can’t wait for next week. Mesacboy said: I agree, their reactions were pretty funny when Franlil lost only her right ear. I think they were shocked, that is why they reacted in such a dramatic way.Sorry but I did laugh a bit at the end there.

Such little details and sketchy dating when Benriya and his group have done seemingly nothing significant for them, turns out to such great reunion. I was pretty amazed himself by their encounter and how they helped each other casting aside all their doubts and disagreements. It is wonderful indeed! I cried when I saw how all groups united to fight a common enemy.They really got cooking this episode. Great fight and its fun seeing the whole cast come together. GarudoHS said: I am sure that Saitou hasn't died. It was the doppelgänger spell as Morlock mentioned at the end of the episode. He can't die so easily. Otherwise what we will be told throughout the subsequent series.No no no no no no no no NO! I don't wanna watch Witch to die. I don't wanna watch Saitou to die! i don't wanna watch Assassin to die! I don't wanna watch Dark Fairy to die! I don't wanna watch any od them to die! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I DON'T WANNA! sakio327 said: Sadly yes. It was such a heave episode. I hope that all ends good in the end.Talk about telegraphing the storyline. They continue to talk about “time reversal” magic. So they’re going to melodramatic-ly have serious things happen and reverse it all for a happy ending. I was ok with show until this episode, and it’s a little disappointing.

I'm interested in learning more about Morlock now, his past is getting more interesting for sure. Seems more than old age is at play with is memory. As for ninja and his group it is difficult: he fell in love, demons respect him. Kisurugi simply tries to save his beloved, that is all, nothing more. Of course it is awful towards others, but I doubt that we ever think about others when we fall in love. We can condemn it but nothing will change. About why Saitou always climbs into battle when he is not asked: as I understand this way he tries and wants to be useful to the group as in his real world all he do he serviced people. sKyBlazer08 said: I perfectly understand you! Hope for the happy ending too! It was such a tragic and heavy episode for all the groups.Holy shit, I didn't expect that wholesome story with the Ninja and Witch to turn depressing. This the kind of shit you'd see in the last episode where everyone comes together, but we're only at the 5th episode. Honestly hope we get a happy ending for everyone. Interesting detail: monster is the same as in the other author's work Vs Earth. |

Say-My-Name said: Sadly yes. So tragic episode for both the ninja and other groups.10 people shamelessly taking on a ninja who's fighting for love. Arkiim said: Ninja is not a magician that controls time, it is someone other, maybe even Morlock. We will learn that in the following episodes.why didn't understand tho, is my the assassin didn't just asked nicely... Because it's not by killing his friends & family that he'll get cooperative is it? or maybe the grand magician that can controle time is not him? |

| they did a complete 180 here. And they all just watched when the Dark Fairy was summoning or turning urghh could have at least thrown some magic. I hate this trope whatever they call it. No comedy in this episode :( |
  |
| The Ninja accidentally aggro’d a lot more than he could probably handle… fat fairy went and unleashed some demonic pillar, how will the good guys take that thing down? Let’s see. Honestly kinda tired of the boring environment designs of these tunnels. Show’s fun though. |
| Did I accidentally slip into a different timeline where Benriya Saitou is not a comedy anime? Waiting for a punchline the entire episode but it ended without one at all and left with feels and cliffhangers. Not that I'm complaining tho. |
 |
| It seems the author never forgot to insert a gag into serious part; Was the scene necessary the black-winged fairy to overeat to grow fat? |
| the fuck !! i thought this pure comedy !! |
| the ninja wants to protect his loved ones but i gotta ask does he have to kill to do that |
