Poor dark elves. Firing the bazooka at the wrong moment triggered the death flag for all of them. Lelei on the other hand, took advantage chance after hitting the dragon's weak spot.

Itami got all the luck a soldier need on his side.

Fuck Giselle is soooooo hot. Forget the skin color..... that attire is... DAMN SEXY....

So Itami stole a yuri goddess' bride before the marriage......LOL. Itami you *thumbs up.

I'm still wondering why Hardy, the goddess of underworld (if I'm not mistaking) had an interest with an another god's apostle. It could be yuri though but I sense an issue between Hary and Rory's god, and this "marriage" is just a part of it.

Good episode, but how was Itami able to carry Rory with her halberd, which is so heavy that no human could lift it?

As long as rory is holding it..it will be lightness since it was designed that only she can use it...kind of like mjolnir of thor..as long as the chosen one holds it,,it will be light...since rory herself is light itami can carry her no problem.

U know what is sad.. that humans having to kill ancient species like dragons or so..

Well.. that is kinda same IRL.. humans basically destroy other species, planet itself. So only hope is they stop breeding like dumbass rabbits and find a way to inhibit other planets..

Well Just kidding. Humans love conflict & war. So they will kill each other before planet dies out.

Was she not passed out from all the recoil damage she took in place of Itami? It makes sense that it can be light when she wields it but in an unconcious state it should be heavy when she's not in direct contact with it.
All credit goes to Sacred.

You kind of said it yourself. If it depends on her being in contact with it (holding it
is the most obvious form of contact), then all he had to do is to make sure she is
in contact with it.

..additionally it could also be that he CAN carry it with lightened weight because of
the contract. He's apparently her servant now, so..

This has to be the first time where Lelei has left me a bit scared. Her facial expression after being able to penetrate the dragon's skin with the sword was twisted and maniacal of her. Her UBW-style attack was really impressive!

Same goes for Tuka as well. It was fortunate that her thunder magic also set off the C4 explosives, which killed the dragon once and for all.

Rory's sister, Giselle, made a surprising visit and was determined to take down Itami, but thankfully, the JSDF came to the rescue and brutally destroyed the dragon hatchlings with relative ease. We haven't seen the last of Giselle, that's for sure.

Overall, probably the best episode for season 2 so far. =D

The episode has behaved better than expected, even if the narrative had small inconsistencies, because not everything has a logical explanation, however, the whole story is satisfactory. The drawings and animations, are of good quality, in the end I guess I will have to call the animal protection for those poor downtrodden dragons, LOL.

I was happy to see them resolve the dragon problem because it meant the story would come back to politics and geology... why is this religion a supernatural reality? More action to come, yeaahhh... -_-" A bit of Jipang style would do some good to this series.

Especially the puppies. They were "domesticated", it is so sad. The JSDF "overkilled" them.

RayAdha said:
..but that 3D Dragon sure was really tough, I couldn't even imagine how someone could beat that without any modern weaponry.

I see this dragon as a CGI version of Shooting Star since its first appearance. And based on this Lodoss ancient dragon's experience, good preparations in an heroic-fantasy world can lead to the dragon's defeat.

DAMN all the other dark elves got eaten and burn into ashes and none of them even care about it...LOL.
i'm speechless at the second half, after they defeat the dragon suddenly rory got wrecked and hardy's servant appeared out of nowhere, seriously didn't see that coming, on top of that, she is the one who woke up the dragon and rase the dragon's baby. but after that everything got wrecked by JSDF...DAMN! best episode from this series.

Well, they were going to battle against a Dragon. I'm pretty sure they were bracing themselves for the worse. Also, those were warriors, and so they risk their lives all the time anyway, and dying to a dragon in battle (and succeeding) is probably an honor.
And lets not forget, that the rest of the clan (or what was left of it before getting picked off by said Dragon) are alive still. So mission accomplished.

People, please. I love Fate as much the next nerd does, but you should realize, that floating swords and a rain of blades doesn't mean a reference to the Fate series all the time... The trope existed long before Fate came around. Fate merely helped popularize it more.

Anyway, the manga seems like fun. I think that the fan-translations are fairly behind though... If only I could learn Kanji faster haha

Yep, back in episode 3 it was said that the Dragon has lived hundreds of years, and when it periodically comes out to eat it consumes entire villages. The fun thing is thinking about how the swords got there: the dragon eats people whole, that includes their swords and armor, and then flies back to its nest, and defecates it. Would make one think twice about actually picking up the sword without first cleaning it :-)

Kaktusmaenner said:

There are far more of them, these were just the warriors who volunteered to go with Yao. And they cut the scene of Yao showing her emotions and cursing her god when she heard what Giselle said.

Sury said:

luck?


He knew it. As Rory said at the onsen scene, she can't die. She is conscious no matter how much damage she takes. Even if she were cut up into pieces, she would be aware of it (and in pain) the entire time it takes for her to regenerate. In the manga Itami actually helps to reattach her arm.

One detail tho, Rory was all messed up because she took the damage for Itami (I initially thought it was because she fought the dragon before everyone else), but they didn't show he actually taking any damage. It would have been cool if he received a kick or a burn or a scratch from the dragon and kept going, as Rory was the one damaged.


Actually, Itami did take damage by getting hit by the backblast when one of the elves fired a rocket. It goes by pretty quick so it's pretty easy to miss.

I do wish they had played showed more of when Yao learns that Hardy woke up the dragon and the feeling of betrayal she feels. It really gives some meaning when she changes her name; hopefully they'll show that in the next episode.

And of course, the artillery barrage was a highlight of the episode. With laser rangefinders, it's not hard for modern artillery to hit their target. And they can even fire so that multiple shells hit at the same time by firing at different trajectories.

This anime has really great concept, modern warfare vs dragon is amazing. fight using C4, fighter, tanks and RPG-6 against dragon is really good.

too bad the plot is MEH, yao's friend die like stupid and far from heroics, itami's plan is epic fail, no one scouting outside waiting for dragon, and C4 successful to explode is because tuka.
what great main lead Itami is, choose dating with harem than having serious fight. LEL

I just wonder, why author deliberate to show us that Itami is lame and labile?

LOL. Didn't you see how Rory was always outside for scouting. It's just that she failed to inform Itami about the dragon's return because the cave wall kinda messed the radio waves. Also, The way the elves acted were normal considering the situation. They got ambushed by the dragon in their attempt to ambush it. Most people would panic in that kind of situation & thus became unable to do things right.

Unlimited Leilei Works is right. Even though they didn't do that much at the beginning to show them preparing the dark elves for the fight, and the talk between the Elders and Yao, but they more than made up for it with the two fights.

I was bouncing all over my room when I saw Leilei's scene, and once again when the Cats completely downed the dragon babies. One word for that: "O-O-O-O-Overkill!" Rory and Giselle's banter was fun as heck as well.


Cannot wait for next week!

Rory as usual, taking all the best girl role. This time getting beat up because saving Itami's life.

And boys... what do we learn from this episode? Never. Ever. Bring dark elves to war games like CoD or CS. They go bat shit and suicide.

Also... not one fucks were given for the 9 who died. LOL!

That arc was actually in the gaiden novels..which were released after Gate finished which are essentially side stories of other adventurers that took place both during and after the main story finished.

they just decided to add it in the manga in chronological order. so they really did not skip anything. so far good pacing.
