| I have a feeling this show is going to end up frustrating me more than a little. Some of the choices or rationale portrayed in this episode drove me mad. Kinda curious how the next episodes will go through. I hope the fact that these people robbed Snow White of half her candies will be brought up among the group of magical girls relatively quickly, and I'm curious to know what they'll think of the fact they all pretty much received stolen goods. |
| Waw, this stuff is getting on the same psycho-terror level as Danganronpa. Not sure whether that's great or not, lol |
 |
| Tbh, I was expecting Tama or Swim-Swim to die in this episode, but, not, it was Ruler. I didn't saw that comming even when she pulled those death flags when her backstory was revealed. It's a pity, I liked Ruler's bitchy personality and I thought she would die later, she will be missed. Curious too she died due the words Nemurin said to Swim-Swim. And also, kinda fucked up that a child was able to kill the person she admired the most. That's no joke. A new magical girl appears, and, design-wise, she looks very good. Wonder what her role in this is, since she seems to look out Snow White. |
 |
| It just dawned on me. La Pucelle (i.e. Joan of Arc) was a girl who had to dress as a boy because that was the only way she'd be accepted as a warrior. This La Pucelle is the same, in reverse. Also - one thing I like is seeing the wide range in the 'real' ages of the various magical girls. Some, like Snow White and La Pucelle, are in middle school, others are adults, like Ruler and Nemurin; while Swim Swim looks to be in primary school. But as magical girls they're all more or less the same age. That makes for some interesting dynamics. Also, cool twist re. the coup. |
| "Burn this sight into your minds. This is what it means to be a magical girl." |
| Silly Ruler, she was so smart, yet she forgot, that if you are a tyrant, you gonna meet your end someday. I wonder why they changed that in anime? |
| This anime is far better then I expected, nice twist no one expected swim-swim to Betray ruler Becuse of what Nemurin told her in her dream, |

| i'm growing increasingly bored by this anime, to be honest. i was hoping it would offer SOMETHING new (i appreciate the letting a boy become a magical girl thing, but that alone isn't enough to make me sit through 12 episodes), but right now it honestly just seems like a madoka rehash, with a little sprinkle of dangan ronpa/akuma no riddle/assassination classroom (i assume; haven't seen this one myself) or something. i'm hoping the next episode will be more interesting - ruler's demise didn't actually surprise me that much, because i felt like she was going to die eventually anyway, and i more or less guessed the method - didn't know how, but i did know by whom. -shrug- sorry if i'm coming off as a grouch. i'm just disappointed because this series' animation is so pretty, and some of my favourite va's are in it and i actually LOVE some of the characters (i suck at memorising names but the witch girl is bae) so i was really hoping for something good. :( |
| Did not care much for Ruler. Too busy crying over Souta's awesomeness and the unquestionable death vow. He has no chance. None at all. WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY. STUPID STUPID STUPID SHITTY DECISION. CAN'T WE PLEASE HAVE SOME ORIGINALITY HERE? Paulo27 said: Can we remove Mary next? Even with limited screentime she's just awful. Ha, I thought I was the only one who hated her. XD There's something about her that is just really annoying. |

| Swim-Swim is savage. I didn't expect that. She set up Ruler to be last, so she can be the ruler. Damn, that is savage of her. Ruler got what she deserved for being mean to everyone. Even with her backstory, I still didn't care for her. The twins were creepy when they were cheering for Ruler's death. Good episode. |
 |
| OHHHH that was a little bit unexpected. So many things actually. Swim-Swim was the girl Nemu visited in her last dream. That also explains why the other girl was also in that dream. Neither did I expect her to be a young girl. The outcome of the theft was unexpected, too. And tbh as much as I disliked Ruler she could have waited a bit longer. Those two one-winged girls are so much worse... Hope they bite the dust soon. NipahAllDay said: I get why people thinks of Madoka Magica, but I never really understand why people thinks it's a "madoka clone." I guess anything with dark magical girls are a madoka wannabe. well. The setting is very similar. A little mascot that forces the girls to fight against each other. Also the girls can't be turned back into "normal" humans once they were a magical girl. That's about it though. The circumstances are definitely different. |

| It didn't dawn on me that Ruler's backstory was a redflag for death. I kinda thought it was a setup for her eventual downfall later, to be taken down in a direct confrontation over her shitty behavior. The sudden takedown without a battle surprised me so much that now I'm really looking forward to the rest of this show. I thought about how much it'd make sense for everyone to betray Ruler later instead of this early, but it'd probably be harder to pull off later. If they just killed snow white, then they'd no longer have access to such a huge pool of candies to pull the same stunt, so they'd have to physically kill Ruler, maybe. Anyway I find it intriguing that, despite being a generic protag with no real initial gifts other than a big dream to be a cliché magical girl, snow white's generic-ness is what makes her so powerful, candy-wise. if she didn't have the naive personality of wanting to help people and be a fairy tale hero, then she wouldn't be so able to naturally get all those candies. idk but i found this funny. |
| A working grown up woman was killed by the conspiration of a loli and her friends. Savage Why did Ruler get blood all over her body when she died while Nemurin didn't? |
 (っ◔◡◔)っ 𝓘 𝔀𝓲𝓼𝓱 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓪 𝔀𝓸𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓾𝓵 𝓭𝓪𝔂 ♥ |
| I kinda figured that they would get tired of Ruler and try to get rid of her ( it was pretty clear that they didn't like her , in the angels case, at least. ) but the way she died was kind of sad. Good episode, overall. |
| Just a warning, DON'T GO TO REDDIT for this series. You'll be spoiled to death. I'm glad i just spoiled for this episode and not for the future. |
 |
| Whoa, I did not expect Ruler to be the one who dies in this episode though the way she's been acting to her subjects, I kinda knew they would rebel at some point. o__O I'm getting more curious about who Calamity Mary is right now. I mean damn, she's a savage. Definitely a magical girl to keep eyes on. Not gonna lie, those twins kinda annoy me. Swim-Swim is confirmed a back-stabber. I think I'm rooting for Snow White and La Pucelle so far. La Pucelle, you need to do a better job at defending your waifu XD that trap was kinda obvious haha. Looking forward to next week. |
 |
| We get some Ruler backstory. It's fitting that she has the ability to command others considering her personality type before she became a magical girl. I REALLY like her outfit though, definitely my favorite one out of all the girls. Looks like Ruler falls in the end due to her mistreatment of her subjects. Though she was a total bitch and had it coming, it's still sad to see her die. At least we got the explanation on why Ruler was in that dream sequence, it was Swim Swim's dream! Glad to see a little more of Nemu though. I wonder what Sister Nana has in store. Meeting a nun in a run down beat up place like that spells trouble. 2/5- The fight/plan was kinda disappointing to be honest. I was expecting an actual battle rather than La Pucelle swinging her/his sword around 4 or 5 times. That swerve in the end was unexpected but it made sense. RIP Ruler, this show likes to kill the ones I like. Please don't die Sister Nana or Ripple. |
 |
| Swim-Swim, definitely my favorite character. *^* |
| Damn,things are getting really interesting,there were some good sound tracks this episode and I didn't expect Ruler to die at the beggining,it's kind of funny that Nemurin indirectly killed her. After this one I still have hope for the series,even if it is following the danganronpa developing formula. |
| 2 down bois .. I never expected that ruler's servant will betray her .. :v well I think it's only natural coz on how she treats them and also it becomes more like a survival game :v .. |
 |
| So... Basically is Nemurin's fault that Ruler died? Awesome! Now I like even more Nemurin. Btw, the OST was awesome. |
 |
| Even though Ruler got some focus in the start, I really didn't see her death coming. I was still thinking that maybe Tama-chan or the twins would die because of the focus they got last week. Back stabbing was a possibility but given how Ruler had them under her control, it had less chances of happening. And Ruler's ability to control anyone further decreased those chances. Her power was cool, but had a pretty stupid drawback lol. And this was probably Fav messing with her lol. I like how Ruler wanted to be acknowledged by people but ended up not getting that at all. And in this magical girl realm she ends up getting killed because no one liked her. But that blood in the end was pretty mysterious because you don't bleed when you have a heart attack. And this back stabbing was brought to you by Nemurin who entered Swim Swim's dream and told her to become a princess instead of following a princess. Nemurin has no idea what her last adventure ended up doing. Nothing really happened to Snow White but she showed that even if she's about to die she won't go and attack another magical girl. But La Pucelle showed the opposite and went and attacked the twins and even got a hit on them and Tama-chan for the sake of his friend. So she won't be hesitating in the future. And now the sixteenth magical girl—the one who started this game—is gonna show up and she's looking for the white magical girl. |
It doesn't matter. I prefer what the anime did |
15poundfish said: This show is ridiculous, you are telling me that 8-11 year old girls think they are a better leader than someone decade older them that also has been protecting them since day one. I hope the lolis die off quickly because they are least likable characters in the show. Swim-Swim has a bratty god complex, The twins are about as evil as the demon child from the exorcist, and tama is useless. This show is going down hill fast and the lolis need to die quickly to allow more interesting characters to occupy the screen time. Ruler is not protecting them, she is manipulating and using them. See the flashback. Ruler forced the duo angel, picked up Tama from the street, and blatantly uses her magic on Swim Swim. Also Swim Swim doesn't has god-complex, she just loves princess. She even want to follow Ruler even without "brainwashed". But then Nemurin went to her dream and said Swim Swim can be a princess herself. That makes her think "Oh, i can be princess too! But if there's already a princess, i can't be a princess.." That's why she kill Ruler. tl;dr Did you even watch the show? |
|
| snow white is really stupid |
 |
| Well that was pretty predictable if you watched the last two eps attentively. Good execution nonetheless! Loving how Nemu is still having an active part despite being dead. Her being a good character resulted in a morally not-so-good outcomes, makes it even more interesting. Liking Swim Swim's coup d'état too but find her a bit hollow as a character atm (but that's how its meant to be, she will develop later I feel) The character I'm looking forward the most is Tama. I feel like she can get pretty badass once certain events happen. For now, I worry Mary might blackmail some of Team Swim members, or Swim herself. Interesting how OP Ruler's powers seemed when she was probably the weakest among the girls. 5 metres radius is too little and she has the "I can't move while controlling" how weak is that. Nonetheless, she made good use of her brain and made her weakness seem like her strength. If only she had a better attitude.. This is bound to get interesting. And I see people are trying way too hard to find resemblances between this and Madoka. It has the basic dark mahou shojo premise, nothing else is similar unless you dig deeep down and make it seem like it is. Even the atmosphere is different. |

15poundfish said: How does a character with stasis "use" other characters. Her abilities are useless without someone to do the finishing blow which is why she needs allies. She acts like the leader because if the truth comes out that her only good special ability is a stasis with situational mind control what can she do? All the characters could bully or kill her in a 1v1 given the chance. Did you watch the calamity mary flashback in that same episode? She couldn't win because her ability only works on people distracted and even then worthless against someone with fast abilities like calamity mary. Her skills are purely support which is why her followers are kids, only morons could be pushed around with by someone with terrible abilities. I don't think her complacency in her leadership lead to her downfall, she might have been able to extend her life by being nicer to her followers but her death was inevitable if the game leads to a free for all. That's why i said Ruler manipulated them. It also fits with "use", she can force the other Magical Girl to "hey, kill yourself" with her power. It's Geass much, but with limitation. And my defense to your comment is about "Ruler protecting the other", why did you not start from there? A princess complex that wants to kill someone because she has is higher on the social hierarchy is pretty close to a god complex. There is more than one princess in a royal family, so the idea that she needs to kill ruler to be a princess doesn't make much sense. She may be a child, but just like in lord of the flies children can quickly become evil when left to their own devices. The characters are not even interesting in their execution, the best expectation is all the kids dying except possibly, Tama. God complex is more to how they overestimate themself and Swim Swim doesn't even show that. But i take my word back. Swim Swim is basically just following whatever Ruler do, even to her mindset and ruling behavior. If Ruler has complex, then Swim Swim too. Logically.. But the idea of Swim Swim killing Ruler does makes sense though if she does following Ruler's way of thinking. There should be only one ruler, and it's Ruler. But Swim Swim want to be one too, that's why she killed Ruler, so she can be the only one ruler. Just like what Ruler was. Fck this ruler and Ruler thing lol |

I mean...I get that Madoka is famous for paving the way for thriller type mahou shoujo but even I don't get why people bash this as a Madoka rehash. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Well that was rather...unexpected but nice seeing how things are coming full circle. Death battle continues next week with a new challenger |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| So Nemurin's legacy kinda lives on. Nice! |
| Well, that was a couple of interesting twists this episode. I thought they'd use the situation of stealing Snow White's candies as a way to get rid of La Pucelle/Souta, as I could see him transferring his candies across to Snow White if Ruler's group had stolen the lot. Instead, they used it to have Ruler's underlings betray and kill her which, while obvious in retrospect, isn't something I saw coming so early, even with her flashbacks at the start of the episode. It's also a nice twist that it was Nemurin in her last moments who put the idea of betrayal into Swim-Swim's head. Only thing I find weird is how Swim-Swim, who is still a young child, seemed so casual around Ruler's dead body, especially one covered in lots of blood for some reason (that didn't happen to Nemurin, so why did it happen to Ruler)? This is definitely getting better and better, that's for sure. |
rosemile said: Raycont said: I agree, that move was a mix of stupid and understandable. Ruler was a pain in the ass and forced them to work under her but with her out of the picture Tama should logically be the next one to die. I can see the twins betraying Swim Swim too. Yeah I could easily see the twins manipulating Swim Swim into off'ing Tama, then they'll get her. I could see the twins lasting awhile, because they are pretty good manipulators. I have a feeling Top Speed is next. I'm calling it that Sister Nana & Winterprison set her up and Mary takes her out. Ripple will give no tsun tsun fucks about it. I can see Swim Swim turning completely insane during the show, she seems to have a weak personality but is willing to do everything when she idolizes someone, she even killed her idol to be like her. Yeah I'm 90% sure that Top Speed and Ripple are walking into a trap but I think Ripple won't let her die, I don't think she will die so early but she has written "I will die" all over her face. rosemile said: Raycont said: Snow White was irritating me a lot in this episode. Why was she against getting her candy back? Because this isn't how magical girls act? You would rather die than do this? then die, if your will is so weak just die I don't get why people are jumping on you about saying this. Her personality is annoying. And it had nothing to do with Ruler's control. She was ready to give up earlier in the episode and last episode when she found out about dying for real. It's Madoka's attitude all over again. I know some people will probably say that attitude is realistic, especially for a kid, but it just comes off as annoying if yshe dosen't care about her own survival and the impact and ramifications her death would have on La Pucelle. and lol at people in this thread trying to say this doesn't have Modaka similarities. It's not a carbon copy, but there is much resemblance. I mean it's not an outright Madoka retell, but there are enough similarities that it's very comparable. They might say it's realistic but it's a show where a middle school girl jumps into burning houses to save people, she's not just some regular girl. And I agree with the Madoka similarities. La Pucelle really wants to sacrifice herself for Snow, I can see her dying as maybe the second to last person while fighting Mary or if they want to be really tragic as the last person to save Snow from dying. Btw even if Snow White wants to fight, wat can she do? Her powers are useless for fighting^^ |
| . |
| I did my best to predict what would happen in this episode from last week and I wasn't too far off. Ruler's plan to separate La Pucelle from Snow White worked really well and I was thinking that La Pucelle would sacrifice himself to save Snow White. But I didn't expect Ruler to come last and die. The start of the episode gave her a massive death flag, with her struggling with her adult life, which is no surprise since her personality is cold and no one wants to be friends with her. With her magical girl powers, she made a group to her liking and commands them to do her work, even by force. What I didn't expect was that Swim Swim would be the person to ultimately back-stab Ruler in the end. Thanks to a visit from Nemurin, Swim Swim wanted to become a ruler herself, but not with Ruler herself being around, so she ultimately killed her off and was rather unusually casual about it too. A really good twist honestly. =) Also, @Paulo27 is right about Mary though. There's something about a cocky, seemingly powerful antagonist like her that I want to see beaten in a fight and drained of her candies. Maybe that'll happen, maybe not... I can understand why Snow White is down on her morale after learning about the truth of the magical girls, but I'm hoping that she'll find something that'll ignite her passion again and making sure not only can she gain plenty of candies, but be able to properly defend herself too. She can't rely on La Pucelle for her defence all the time. Great episode overall and I'm looking forward to the seeing the next magical girl biting the dust. Maybe the arrogant twins next time? =P |
rikuhod said: Pride makes you lonely The view on the top is indeed lonely. If you're not prepared to live a lonely life then you aren't fit to be a leader. There's your difference between a commoner and an elite. That aside, Ruler's backstory is stupid. If she's so great and all why did she enter a company instead of, you know, making one for herself? But enough about that. I was really expecting Ruler and co are going to die, Ruler dying makes perfect sense as she's the biggest threat in that group. And I'm glad my prediction was correct that Swim2x got over her passive attitude (thanks Nemu) and is about to start a killing spree. Also can someone explain how the candy distribution happened exactly, with hard numbers? |

| >I had no brain when I was 12 >Then everyone must had no brain when they were 12 >I experimented 100 samples and proved that they had no brain when they were 12 >Therefore children cannot consent This is what science has done to humanity. |
| The queen is dead. I expect her team to eat each other later on. I doubt La Pucelle is going to get a death flag anytime soon, unless someone else takes the role to protect Snow White. She doesn't even have the will to protect herself. All in all, good episode. I would prefer not getting the background of Ruler at the beginning of the episode. It makes the death much less surprising... |
| Although the twist that dot the climax of the narrative, there is an underlying dissatisfaction due to the fact that he had clipped at the climax the above subject. A little sad to see yet another death, but it is a pity that the characters vanish after a few moments when you start to know better. Drawings and animations, good, but the events should last longer, too fast follow each other the facts and the knowledge of the characters is superficial, one of the keys to success, it is to excite the viewer to the characters, but here you go too quickly to the the end of the challenge. However, I miss Nemurin, Ruler a little less, but to be so sour, also had his reasons, even if they are questionable. |
 |
| Unfortunately didn't really like...I'm gonna drop this, I love Lerche but this was three disappointments in a row and I'm feeling none of the characters |
| What a boring episode. |
 |
| as soon as they played her ~backstory~ i knew ruler would die. i don't really mind though, she sucked. |
 |
| I ship Koyuki and Souta so much! |
