| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Eh this feels pretty rushed. The badminton stuff also felt kinda silly. And welp, Stella got bold this episode. It's just like the LN when Stella "laid" down for Ikki because of the rain stuff and after getting wet. What a lucky bastard Ikki is. Oh yeah, they managed to squeeze in some action too out there in the rain. |
 |
Finally Touka appearance. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Looks like Oonuma Shin puts a lot of effort from the fanservice, even Touka's appearance ( I didn't expect to be that awesome ) also, here's a scene of the week you should tell to the competitor over there... ( ･ิ‿･ิ) |

| Rushed, but Raikiri was okay. They could've mentioned how Saigeki was the only way that Ikki could even hurt the golems(and it has a long startup time, being the most destructive technique Ikki has), but oh well. Touka right now is stronger than Ikki, but I don't think those who are convinced that Ikki is OP will take this episode very well. P.S. Inb4 Jump fanboys who can't into Japanese history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raikiri P.P.S. My first reaction to that technique was actually Soukou Akki Muramasa |

| Rushed episode, but that fanservice made this episode awesome. I don't know how many people I would kill to be in Ikki's position, lol XD 5/5 |
 |
| What I'd give to be Ikki lol, fanservice on fleek this week and that new girl looks to be an interesting one =o Can't wait for the next episode |
 |
 |
| The original scene with Itsuki is nice but they also remove some of the important thing. Also is that Azaka who have stereotypical villain look? Isn't it supposed to be Are they going to remove future prospect of the series? |

| Decent episode and the fanservice didn't disappoint xD - The badminton part was pretty funny - Stella was quite forward with Ikki and lol at her pointing out at Ikki's erection - I thought this was going to be a filler episode based on its title, but I'm glad it wasn't - I wish the episode showed Saigeki a bit more. It happened for only like a second - Awesome entrance by Touka |
| Wohoho nice episode, the student´s council is overpowered too xD. |
 |
| Ikki x Stella is fucking strong. |
| Well, I'm not surprised that Ikki got a boner and probably jizzed in his pants. I'm sure any guy would have reacted the same way while removing a hot girl's clothes. Touka seems pretty cool, not gonna lie, hopefully her fight with Shizuku is a good one. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| 9/10. One of the best episodes of the series so far after the 7th, just fantastic! We got fan-service that made fucking sense (beautiful Stella no less), we got a bitchin' fight sequence with the He-Man introduction of Lightning Flash Toka at the end there, solid humour, family exposition, and zero filler! This is everything I hoped the show would be. GJ Silver Link! I will say though, the Japanese really need to get over the slut-shaming thing, it is getting tiring to see it in every damn show with a meaningful relationship. |

| OK, so this Toka Todo person seems badass, but she only finished in the tournament's top 4? She didn't even win? If that's the case, just how powerful is the person who did win? Also, just what was Ikki's logic for refusing Stella's request for sex? I mean, I'd totally get it if he said it wasn't fair given her condition, but instead he babbled on about pride or something. That kinda lost me for a bit. |
Hahaha, what? After being annoyed by the last two anime episodes I watched today, this episode was greatly appreciated. Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry has yet to disappoint. I'm surprised by how maturely sex and relationships are handled. You don't see this often in anime. 5/5 |

She offered, he wimped out. She probably thought that because he apparently didn't want her the way she did him. He was criticizing other shows for slut-shaming, not Rakudai. |
| That cabin scene, whoa. It'll be interesting to see who Toka Todo is. |
 |
| Ikki vs Toka, make it happen Underdog. |
 |
| Is his family still messing with him? Should have just kill every last one of them. Such lewdness alone in a cabinet out in the forest/mountain. Touka...so badass...Shizuku going to have trouble dealing with her... Looking forward to their fight...will be epic. |

I don't mean Ikki was slut-shaming her, I mean the show itself was doing so, which is a common Japanese cultural issue in a lot of these shows. They treat the girls with some weird sense of purity that I'm normally used to seeing from Southern-Baptist fundamentalist Christians that think Footloose is a valid documentary. Japan seems terrified of normal teenage relationships, it's bizarre, though that might explain their population problem ;P BLKWarGreymon said: He was criticizing other shows for slut-shaming, not Rakudai. No, Rakudai clearly just did it as well. Ikki was shown to be embarrassed of sex in a relationship because of "pride" or something. It's silly. I've been told the actual reason is that due her being a Princess and him being effectively nothing to people that he is worried about how such a relationship would publicly reflect on her, but they really don't explain that in the anime and it instead comes off as some weird Japanese obsession with Puritan values. I mean, don't get me wrong, I loved this episode still, and I'm used to that kind of thing from anime, I was just hoping Rakudai would buck the trend like it has so many others. |

| STELLA!!! WHY U SO F***N CUTE?!?!? Dat stripping scene! Ikki how did u resist brah! He must have fapped after she went to sleep. |

| Is she the student council president or the secretary? :( The lightning moves were cool. Ikki saving sex until marriage :'( What a guy :'( |
 |
| Ikki wasn't up to his usual fine form this episode, he needed help with those golems far too early. Stella, however, still has an incredibly fine form, Ikki is a lucky dude. Those mountain lodge scenes were hot. |

| I was having HARD TIME laughing at this 5/5 for me :D |
 |
| Just when I was thinking " wow, ikki sure has some amazing self-control" .. Stella points out that detail. I did not expect her to be this forward either, but ikki being ikki prevented it. The action scenes were nice too. Looking forward to the next episode and the glasses girl.(who is really op) |

| I knew the ''evil'' father would be voiced by Hayami. Really, this guy is like the king of mature, cold-hearted bastarts. I'm willing to bet my MAL account that if a second season of Shokugeki no Souma is made, he'll voice Azami. A large part of the episode wasn't anything interesting. I would've probably gotten more closure or point of the undressing scene if I watched a hentai. Skipped that part and most of the Ikki/Stella interactions (really, not even grade-schoolers are that innocent), but the introduction of Touka was pretty epic, along with Shizuku getting that message. I would actually be very surprised if Shizuku beats her. 3/5 |

| OK I get still confused between asterisk wars and tale of of the worst one. the episode showed fanservice comedy and action plus touka appearance, reminded me of his nee san but wait that was asterisk wars |
 |
| Even Stella knows she's dirty. Rakudai is self-aware. |
 |
| This ep was BAWSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Toko chick's intro was amazing . |
| Wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |
| Ikki's VA did an awesome job. Lol there were like three moments where Ikki put his hands in the position for groping Stella's titanic mountains. |
 |
| I can't believe he said 'Sorry' wtf.... what kind of bullshit excuse was that? I would even prefer the overused 'caught by someone who entered the room at the wrong time' than that stupid excuse he made... Raikiri?! Who dafuq does she thinks she is? Kakashi? |

| Pretty neat action right there. More antagonists appear, and more allies appear too. I hope next week's battle will be as spectacular as this one! |
 |
| For those wondering why Ikki refused Stella it was because of 2 reasons: 1) she is sick 2) he says (in the LN) he would feel guilty about meeting her parents having already progressed that far with her. He is the old fashioned type that wants to met her parents and declare their relationship first basically. LN extract. |
| Just me or Animation seemed OFF this week |
| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
| This entire episode would have been better if it was just about Ikki and Stella and undressing her. |
| CAVALRY NEVER LETS ME DOWN, ENJOY BOIS |

| Naughty Stella |
