Rio is pretty much the guy who will go unhinged if any of his friends is in danger. Didn't expect less from him but it's pretty low for what his opponent is doing and the way he taunts Rio.

This and the past few episodes had different vibes compared to the first half. I guess this is how they structured the season. Rio had that pissed off face that you don't want to mess with.

well Rio and Lucius are TRYING to remember the past , that's why that taunting began and so the fight just began after the second half of the episode, with Flora watching.
i just hope that Haruto can complete his revenge on Lucius, at that time, help is arrived haih..

btw, hope Flora can use her chance to talk properly with Rio on the final episode(assume that they were saved by the fire dragon's breath, which is definetly will happen)

God I just wanna see Lucius suffer tremendously. He got off way too fucking easy with just the one arm. Kinda bs that he didn’t bleed to death or die of his internal injuries, but whatever. Even had he died there it would’ve been too quick for the 10 years of mental anguish he’s had Haruto in. Lucky mf should count his stars that Reiss got there in time.

Speaking of Haruto’s mental anguish, since it’s been so long since S1 I really forgot how fucked up things were for Haruto there for a time with his mother being murdered up until Celia found him. I was wondering why Haruto seems to associate more with this world than Earth, but it makes sense now. We don’t really see isekai protags go thru a lot of pain once they get isekai’d. It’s usually a happier life, but for Haruto he gets isekai’d after his parents go thru a divorce and then loses his new parents too! Having to overcome all that really will bind you to a place.

Hopefully we don’t have to wait 10 years to see Haruto take off that bum’s other arm.. I reckon next episode will be a chill one, probably Haruto coming clean about knowing Flora and then setting up the next arc. This season has honestly kinda felt like a nothing burger though. Other than this arc what did we even do lol

@Spaceteck Lucius's guard position is several inches closer to his neck than to his left arm, but since he did not parry at all, it would not have mattered. Rio could have been playing the possibility than Lucius could make the parry 6 but not the parry 4. With as overly high as Lucius was holding that guard six, he was even more open at the waist, the easiest play would have been to cut him in half there.

For the sake of god.
Can we stop this trend of reusing villains by offering them "plot armor" too?
Can they just die when story says so?
Can protag actually 'just kill' without making prolonged skills show-off and failing the deed in the end?

Rio definitely didn't waste time with any lectures and went straight to humiliating Lucio. He's on another level. However, he was reckless and failed to complete his revenge by killing Lucius, making the same mistake as Thor in Avengers by not aiming for the head.

I have a doubt about what Lucius to take when Rio was a child. That already said the season it was or not? And will it be something important for the future?

Oh no Lucius manage to running away after those 'unfair battle, he said, smh', thanks from the help of cunning ambassador. Who could've thought before the black dragon decided to showing up on the sky and become the sole distraction? Only on seirei gensouki every possible time gap can be filled in. But for sure gonna be a big question how they ended this second season since nothing resolve here anyway, with the escape of Lucius and the banquet still not happening yet. However, i am thinking of Flora decided to join Haruto party even though idk what's goin exactly to happen after all those chaos.

If anything, fast continuation shall be a good heal to know or else, just stop with this here and read the source, okay?

Well, this episode wasn't quite as bad as the last one. but it still took over HALF the episode of those 2 talking to actually get to their fight though. And here I was thinking they would put in more effort for this important fight, nah this one is crap also. It's like every fight in this season is designed, to have the characters seem like they're just barely avoiding someone who attacks in the blink of an eye. And yet when actually watching it we see some dude with some cruddly animation rolling out of the way of the attack while taking 5 whole slow seconds to do it. Definitely not the worst episode this season, but still suffering from this horrible production. TMS you had over 3 years, people who waited that whole time surely wanted better than this sad treatment you've given this show. I waited only half that and this is still absolutely disappointing.

This episode had a lot of filler "look back".

The fight was good.

I am glad that he did tell him his identity, but he should have just finished him off quickly, instead of taking his time.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Supposedly there is a quote that goes “There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night without a moon, and the anger of a gentle man” and one could argue that Haruto definitely embodied that last one in this episode.

Shame about the ending though; would’ve been satisfying to see the villain meet his end; especially since there is only one episode left in the season and given that some things look life they’re going to be left hanging, we should at least have some things that end on a satisfying note- otherwise this won’t get good reviews and lowers the chance of another season.

(I’ve heard a number of people call this not as good as season 1 which is already a blow against it)

Given that in “revenge” scenes the typical portrayal is to have the hero go on what is essentially a berserker rampage, the fact Rio was so calm in the whole fight adds an interesting layer to his character- this revenge is calculated, not impulsive.

Well, only thing left now is to see how the season ends

Well this fight didn’t disappoint. We see a flashback which reminds us of Rio’s family and everything leading up to this fight, and I thought at first that Rio was so bloodthirsty that Flora was completely irrelevant, but I was wrong.

Lucius was getting his cheeks absolutely penetrated, and if it wasn’t for Reiss stepping in, dude would have died, and he didn’t land a single hit on Rio. So I wonder if Rio will finish things off in another season, or there’s more that will occur.

I do appreciate that the majority of this episode focused on this fight and it seems that the overall battle is over.

Let’s see the aftermath…

This is the only thing that matters about the series. Rio finally having the chance to avenge his mother, killing him for once for all. And for once it's good to see him commit to ruthlessness.

Majority of the episode was yapping and flashback but still the fight was actually great for once. No mercy as it should be. Lucius is really no hold bars piece of shit but his combat prowess kinda was letdown, expected more resistance from THE ANTAGONIST of the story. But seeing him suffer was very very satisfying, I waited for this. And he was this close to be burned alive but nah plot armour took him away. It was frustrating to see him escape, cz I doubt this will have more seasons to show him finally getting killed if it happens in the first place. No "don't kill" policy this guy need to die and if that doesn't happen and he was let go later I have nothing to say.

Still a disappointing season because net result is still 0 but atleast fight was enjoyable.

Huh, looks like the anime will end at adapting the first chapter of volume 8.

Since they showed the scene of Miharu learning of Rio’s past, that means they are setting up the next arc when Miharu, Liselotte and Satsuki will be the next heroine. Most likely S3 announcement as there is a HJ announcement in the next few days.

Have to wait for a few more years before I can see Celia becoming a gigachad in anime. :/

That was some slow but epic episode.

Anyway, I got bored with the very slow pacing at some points that could've been better animation, but it was still entertaining. However, we really need more... EPISODES!!!
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Stupid.

Also, Lucius sucks, like, he is just a bad guy, and that's it? There's nothing more to it? He is just a normal ass bad guy because of the "killing makes me happy" bullshit? No lore? No deep? He just likes being bad?

didn't his mom teach him not to play with his food? so disappointing to see characters fail because of that tired trope. I was expecting it to come down to flora needing saving at the expense of victory, or trying to live up to her expectations of a more noble hero

but I'd rather have seen him carry out his convictions, and deal with the fallout instead (losing standing with the people who put him on a pedestal, Reiss getting away with nobody to interrogate, etc)

I kept thinking earring boy should say, "Let her down and I'll tell you." It was the obvious solution to protecting the princess. Yet it took several minutes to get there. And it had to be the villain who suggested it.

And then she just stood there watching, even when Lucius had his arm cut off and was down on the ground. That would be the time to run, as he could still lash out at her in some way. Which he did.

I'm glad though that we didn't get the always annoying "If you take revenge you become just like him!" line, which is like saying the police are the same as the criminals because both use arms. No, here we have straight-up revenge, good to see. Though he dragged it out in the end when he should have just gone for the kill as fast as possible.

I'm surprised that over half the ratings are 5 star, the first 16 minutes should have been 3-5 minutes. Well, if you loved this, you'll love Reign of the Seven Spellblades. Episode 6 is one of the best episodes in anime history, but the rest is drawn out like this episode, which wouldn't be as bad if Ep 6 didn't get you so hyped just to go back to normal.

So, he couldn’t take down a second-rate villain in time? That’s consistent with how inefficiently he’s handled monsters and thugs in earlier episodes.

With only one episode left, it feels like nothing substantial has happened. We’re still in the dark about the person raising monsters from dead corpses—and it’s already episode 11. At this rate, it seems unlikely they’ll resolve everything meaningfully in the finale.
