| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah interesting episode, glad to see a little bit of history between Ikta and Nanaqu Dal. Really liked the characterization of this episode especially the narratives. It's also interesting to note that Matthew lost a bit of his cool when confronting Ikta about some of the recent events. Not much action but I'm fine with it. The transition and continuity of the storytelling made it worthwhile. It's just a shame war took a lot of lives already. Ikta also has some major balls for cutting his finger off to get his point across imo. |

| This episode was over in a flash like usual. It seems the new enemy might be just as abstract as Ikta so it might be a very interesting battle that's coming up. Seems the powers playing behind the scene are starting to show themselves. And Ikta gained some new allies to battle them. |
| So now Ikta is "successful" unlike the last one, for saving someone he cared about. But the girl is forget about him. This is just great. A cut to the pinky and some lesson about the traditional of apologizing and she's remember about Iktar. The team member are each receiving a promotion, before they go to next episode War against La Saia Alderamin. |

| R.I.P finger. Ikta, fucking hell. I was surprised to see that Ikta and Nana have history together. Lazy vs. Unsleeping1 |
| Goddammit, that Safida prick's really not gonna die is he? Fuck. Well the finger scene was rather unpleasant, Ikta suffering due to that asshole, among so many others. Shoulda beat him senseless and given him over to Aldera. The Matthew scene was nice, and this Jean seems interesting as a foil to Ikta... |
| Interesting to see how Ikta and Nana used to be childhood friends. And damn, Ikta is taking apologies to a whole new level. I'm also intrigued about seeing this clash between two guys who are literal opposites of each other. |
| 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. |
| Well damn, even more respect for Ikta. Hoping the commander of the garrison is reprimanded and dismissed for causing all those deaths on both sides. A harsher punishment is even better Hello there, Lelouch lol I like the name of the next episode |
    |
| this was the best episode yet. Ikta was made to do did something not many authors would want their MCs to do. I just hope the battle wont be rushed but ill enjoy it nonetheless. |
 |
| Gotta love Ikta. Even with half a pinky down he can still be flirtatious with the ladies. I was kinda hoping that a story that's as well written as this one wouldn't go with the white haired child genius cliché, but I guess certain clichés are hard to overcome. |

| So, Ikta is now facing mediaeval Char Aznable Jean Alkiniks. Interesting. Does anyone else feel that Kioka is actually the likeable faction of the two? Yatori was suprisingly calm at Ikta's self mutilation, which was a very bad idea by the way. There is a reason Yakuza cut the left pinky: the left pinky is the sword pinky. A warrior really needs that pinky. Cutting it is a sing of submission. There was also no jealousy on Yatori's side on the encounter with Nana. This series really deserves credit for handling things like that the way it does. That said, I'm still on the Ikta x Yatori ship. |

| Really enjoyed this episode. They did everything good with the characters, Ikta's way of winning the tribe people thingy "heretics" to their side and showing some of Iktas background as well. Also, the introduction to a new antagonist for our genius. It is nice to witness someone that can be called, Iktas rival. I look foward the showdown between them in the up and coming episodes. |

| JESUS CHRIST DUDE, HE CUT OFF HIS OWN FINGER |
 |
| Heuh... I ran out of words of how to praise this anime. I used everything: shit, pointless,boring, overly-convenient, what else? Just give me proper battle episode next week, please. |
| Ikta literally the hardcore apologist. Hurt me that he cut off his finger for something he didn't directly cause. Next ep should be lit af |
| So what if Ikta cut off his finger, we know he isn't going to wield sword and charge towards the enemy. His main strength is his wits and commands the battlefield. The ep felt rushed at some points. Ikta and Co. arrived quickly where the empire army was plundering. So Nana and Ikta had a history, which he used to gain her support to repel the incoming enemy invasion army. Gotta be fun now that Ikta has a better rival. |
| Oh, damn. Ikta cut his own finger.... And next to that, all these officers are seriously incompetent to say the least. |
  |
| god damn man he cut off his finger! |
 |
| Not as great as the last few episodes, but i did really like the new character Nana. |
| There has never been a bad character named "Nana" in anime. That is just a fact, and the trend continues in Alderamin as well. On top of that, Ikta is one smooth bro. He's gonna have one massive harem of the freakiest girls at the end of the series. Also, white Lelouch incoming. This shit about to get cray cray. |
 |
| So Ikta was acquainted with Nana before during the time when Ikta went to the Sinack village, the time he talked about before too (I think). And the soldiers get carried away with the war and end up killing innocent people, burning down houses and probably almost raping women. Ikta is of the opinion that killing combatants in a fight is okay, but harming the innocent people who can't fight back or torturing them is wrong. Even if they're prisoners of war they shouldn't be tortured or harmed. And the religious army shows up to fight those who broke the religious code or whatever by abusing the spirits. Ikta asks for help from Nana too because the Holy army is going to kill everyone even the Sinacks because of their heresy. And Ikta discovers that all this was a set up by the neighboring Kioka. They helped the Sinacks in fighting back and then had La Saia sent after the empire with the excuse of abusing the spirits. And the person behind this is a brilliant tactician like Ikta. And now the Unsleeping guy will be up against the lazy guy in a battle to see who the better genius is. |
| Not only did he cut off his finger, he cut it 3 times. Ikta T-T I swear to god if that commander doesn't die a cruel slow death imma be pissed. |
Laionidas said: So, Ikta is now facing mediaeval Char Aznable Jean Alkiniks. Interesting. Does anyone else feel that Kioka is actually the likeable faction of the two? If you think instigating a Holy War from a previously neutral nation against innocent "heathens" as likeable, then I guess. The Kiokan Republic is just as scummy as the Empire. Jean, however, seems to be like Ikta though. Practical and analytic, but let's see where his moral compass lies. |
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| Of all the f-ing things that happened..............the finger, God dang it, this still is freaking disturbing. I ain't gonna miss the assholes that Nana sliced, and interesting that she and Ikta knew each other. And then the group becomes stronger together and with promotions to match. The plot twists were.........wow quite some material and now we face Lelouch the Sleepless vs the Lazy Tactician. This is gonna be priceless. |
 |
| Great episode again. Nana's fight sequence in the beginning was really well done, I'm glad Yattori and Ikta were able to get to Nana in time. Ikta's stare when he said "I have no tolerance for beasts" gave me chills. Interesting to see that Nana and Ikta knew each other when they were kids, Ikta seems to have traveled to a lot of places eh? Damn, Ikta cut of his finger, Respect man. Sucks that Ikta has to be the one who has to do all this shit to apologize for the actions of his superiors. Nice scene with all the 5 of them showing the conviction to be a part of the retreat covering squad. Ikta's rival definitely seems like a white haired Lelouch xD , That is Jun Fukuyama voicing him right? The Unsleeping vs the Lazy . These upcoming episodes are definitely gonna be great. |
 |
| I was surprised when Ikta cut off his finger. That took guts. |
 |
| Ikta, what resolve. Didn't see the finger cutting coming. I like that their masturbation conversation from before got a call back, too. "I don't care if you're a hero or warrior. But I've got no patience for beasts." |
| I'll give him credits... he cut off his own finger O_o Wouldn't revealing his identity have prevented such an unpleasant thing? Anyway... I'm speechless. His dedication is admirable though. |
  |
| Can't pinpoint any one thing, but I feel like they got this show and it's philosophies right on so many levels. I love how Ikta manipulated Nana into accepting his terms by sacrificing his pinky. As much as he probably truly wanted to apologize, it was still manipulation at it's finest. He needed her men to deal with the invading Alderamin, and it was the fastest way to get her to agree. Ikta is such a boss. Not sure why white hair would choose to help that army though. Isn't he suppose to be originally from the Empire? Why would he choose to plan an invasion on his own country, for a neighboring country no less? |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| I thought Ikta was just bluffing about his finger. ...and lol about that new guy aka Ikta's ultimate counterpart, since Ikta is a womanizer, then that white haired guy would be.....gay? |
 (っ◔◡◔)っ 𝓘 𝔀𝓲𝓼𝓱 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓪 𝔀𝓸𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓾𝓵 𝓭𝓪𝔂 ♥ |
| We fully LOTGH now boyyyyys. We got a Reinhard to Subaru's Yang Wenli it seems. I am still depressed this is just 12, while trash like rezero gets a full cour. Alderamin deserved more episodes. |
 |
| I thought Ikta was a smart and wise guy, I don't see how following a stupid tradition like cutting your finger to apologize is smart. If he wants to apologize try to help who ever he wants to apologize. |
| A curve including all entries should be of a gaussian form. One including limited entries by picking animes you liked and not rating animes you dropped should look like mine. Amount of total animes each rating should have (percentages): 6-25,7-15,8-6,9-3,10-1  |
| Wow... cuting your own finger huh... Well it seems like he is saw his own end or something? |
| Looks like Ikta had a history with the Chieftain of Sinack, Nana. A lot of developments are happening as the war with the Sinack is over, they are immediately faced with another battle. Ikta truly is THE man. His plan to delay the La Saia and his sacrificing his pinky to have the Sinack's Chieftain Nana help out was great. I don't like how it was convenient that she was the leader but oh well. Looks like Ikta is going into a chess battle with someone who is as smart as he is by the name of Jean. This is getting really exciting. |
