----------------------------------------
So Ayato meets Irene and her sister..

Korona from Le Wolfe Black Institute has an unique ability. I honestly don't like their student council president Dirk though..feels like he just gives off an irritating vibe around others. Meh pretty chill episode, feels a lot more like a buildup for the finale/big fight. Close call for Ayato with Claudia...I think he should be more careful.

What's with the sudden change of scene? All of a sudden, Irene bashed through the building.

Nice to see them having a nice conversation even though they were enemies.

And we hear more about Claudia' secret.

That was a nice change of pace and I'm starting to like Vampire-chan and the imouto a lot more now

But I have to say that the best girl Claudia moments were the best (Holy shit that freak out in her room O_O).....God damn it Ayato can't you take a hint lol xD And dat explanation about her Ogre Lux and the other ones were extremely interesting to me

And damn they're already setting up the next arc/tournament lol so I'm expecting Ayato to probably lose this current one somehow

I've taken quite a liking towards Irene and her sister, even if they are destined to lose. My favorite characters in the series now I'd say. Well that weapon itself is likely gonna be the true enemy next week. I hope it isn't too painful...

Claudia disturbs me. Not even her big beautiful tits prevent that anymore! :D

Well, they did a good job of most of this episode in providing us with the info. I am a bit peeved by how they portrayed the first part though.

Those thugs from Allekant were suppose to have backed Priscilla against the wall when Ayato came across them, he was suppose to have a "should I, shouldn't I" moment before stepping out. The thug was suppose to have recognized Ayato as Seidoukan's No. 1 and he was then suppose to take that moment of hesitation to pull Priscilla away..... then the ensuing chase was suppose to show that those thugs knew the area well, but couldn't keep up with Ayato, who picked up Priscilla and basically walked up the side of the building, leaving the thugs not knowing where they went.... but then again I guess they couldn't really squeeze all that into the time they allocated it. What the end result was, is that Ayato is made to me much more of a goody-two shoes than he really is, which pisses me off for some reason.

Regardless, they did the rest of the episode alright. The reveal about Claudia was done quite well, though there wasn't enough tension with Ayato as he was suppose to have barely held her off (whilst knowing she was in a trance).

So next week ends Volume 3. I'll be looking forward to 4 and 5, since those are where the bulk of the battles are. Given the pacing, I wonder if we're actually going to be teased on the Gryps at the end of next cour....

Final battle in 1st season will be Team Ayato vs Team Irene, not quite bad.

Nice to know about Irene and her sister, would they join the harem as well? :)

I wanna see Claudia fight

It was a decent episode. No forced awkward romance, and we saw the return of consequential plotlines. It was nice that we got a reminder of the overarching plot (Ayato looking for his sister) for the first time in what seems like 10 episodes. The Ogre Lux explanation was interesting, and I'm glad they're talking about this world's lore again. It's probably been my favourite part of the series so far.

This episode show how much dangerous Ogre Lux can be, even changed your own personality.
Claudia Ogre Lux sound most painful one to experience different death every time, it's not something you want to experience for yourself.

Final Battle next episode, yeah kind of that kind of feeling that Ogre Lux will kind of take over Vampire-Girl in that match.

Poor Claudia, to experience your own death every time you got to sleep, should be really hard and painful for her.

We don't see Claudia in such a long time but when we do she almost kills Ayato. I know the gravi-seath is supposed to be this really scary evil ogre lux but I'm more freaked out about Claudia's to be honest.

1200 deaths all of them by different means; starving, freezing etc. Jeez that was really morbid, I wasn't ready for that.

On the next episode of Dragon Ball Z Asterisk: I'm predicting Ayato and Julis will push Irene to her limits. She'll be forced to overuse the gravi-sheath and eventually go full Owari no Seraph on them.

Was I the only one who thought of Evangelion after seeing this device? XD

This was probably shown when Saya spoke to her dad in a past episode, but I just didn't think about it then.

To be honest I was surprised Claudia revealed as much as she did. I think revealing information about one's ogre lux is a pretty big deal in this series especially since that kind of information can tell you how it affects the wielder such as Irene becoming a monstrous vampire.

Also, Claudia mentioned another festa that we've never even heard of before which was another reveal. It would have been asking for to much if we also found out Claudia's wish for entering the festa so I can't complain that we didn't get to hear that just yet.

That could be something left for the next cour. I look forward to that.

totally was not expecting such a heavy episode dang. gravisheath and pan dora are terrifying. excellent build up id say especially with koronas reading and her prediction that ayatos team will lose. also with providing the audience with the chemistry between the ursaiz sisters and other characters. did they skip the rest of the prelim battles in the ln too because i feel like it was a good idea here. ending the show on an intense battle will be good as we can finally see some of ayato and juliss teamwork.

Wow Claudia experienced her own death 1200 times? That's pretty horrible.

Fucking Ayato, I swear, when a pretty girl offers to let you stay the night, you stay the damn night. No questions asked.

Looks like the finale will end with Ayato and Julis vs. Irene and Priscilla.

Did I miss an episode or something? What was with the lack of transition from the last episode to this one? Also, I think it's pretty fucked up how Claudia has adjusted to constantly seeing her own death and thinks it's something that you can just get used to.

Very little in real, worthwhile substance other than that.

But yeah i also expect some good teamwork and action next episode. The anime has kept the action scenes faithful to the source in most cases. The 2nd course should be action packed as well.

I thought that it was one of the better adapted episodes A-1 has done. Not perfect but for what they had to show pretty well done. I just hope that next season a certain princess has her time to shine. Plus the battles in volume 4 and 5 were really well done.

Pretty interesting episode that builds up alot for the next episode and the next season. Really enjoyed learning more about Irene and Priscilla and their whole situation with Dirk who has something planned which will be big for ether the next episode or next season. Also we finally get some info on the sister which I thought was the main plot but was gone for like the whole season since the 1st episode lol. It was really interesting to learn about the ogre luxs and how they have their own personallity and that is why Irene is acting different and getting worse as her sister said, its because its consuming her as Dirk said before. It was also scary to learn about Claudia's weapon...that is just scary...I wonder what her wish is, we will probably learn more about that in the second season. But yea I cannot wait for next episode to see that explosive fight between Ayato and Julis vs Irene and Priscilla!

Here is my full review on the episode:

I definitely like this episode. Ayato and Julis having dinner with their next opponents was interesting but at least Ayato is learning more about Irene and Priscilla and got little clues about sister. And the conversation between him and Claudia was very interesting about how each Ogre Lux weapons have different personalities. Flet some build up for the next fight so can't wait for the final next week!!!

The preparation for battle is all ready, Ayato once again approaching their next opponents and acts friendly with them, it seems he really is trying to conquer all the girls of the plot, even escaping of them several times also, more information about Cladia also were shown, it will be quite important later, I'm looking forward to the last episode of the anime in this season ..

So we learn a bit more about Irene and Priscilla's connection to Dick...I mean Dick.

Irene is half obnoxious tomboy, half sis-con, lol.

Have a feeling that with Ayato/Julis's inevitable win that somehow Ayato will stop the Gravi-Sheathe since they kept bringing it up and since it was his main topic of discussion with Claudia. Well Ser Veresta has that super hot unstoppable flame, so he'll probably end up slicing it and breaking it somehow.

Speaking of Claudia...damn, that crazy shit. We learn she has death nightmares due to her ogre lux, and I guess when they get bad she sleep attacks, lol. That's some fucked up shit though. She says "oh you get used to it", but we obviously know that shit's a lie since Claudia is full of secrets.

Oh, and speaking of ser veresta...fucking Christ were legit cant get ONE week where CR doesn't spell shit wrong in their subs. It' not Ser=Veresta. There is no fucking equal sign. An equal sign is not a letter nor a fucking punctuation mark. It's either "Ser Veresta" or "Ser-Veresta".

I don't think it was a matter of him being scared of getting his dick wet like it was the first time he was in her room. Seemed more like he wanted to sleep and not worry about getting fucking murdered, lmao.

Also, Claudia mentioned another festa that we've never even heard of before which was another reveal. It would have been asking for to much if we also found out Claudia's wish for entering the festa so I can't complain that we didn't get to hear that just yet.


During the first few episodes ago she briefly mentioned the names of the festivals. There are actually 3 of them; phoenix (the current one; tag team partners), the gryps festival (a team based one, I believe teams of 5) and the Lindvolus (solo fights) festival.

They also happen in yearly increments, so the Phoenix fest takes place in one year, during summer. The following year in fall is the Gryps, and the third year in winter is the Lindvolus. Then it repeats and it's the Phoenix again.
