Oh poor Jeanne. Watching her suffer...;_;

But seriously though, the way she is being tortured is a bit disgusting. The episode itself was pretty tense I guess. The action wasn't bad although I had expected Nobunaga to show up to save Jeanne. Shit got real this episode.

Forcing her to say that Author is the saint instead of Nobunaga. Everyone in her village hates her for being a devil. She said no to either of the "requests" and sentencing is decided. She saw a sight that the village would be burnt and it really happened. Nobu came to save her with just the bow, not his fool, and she used the pendant to save them, that weird vibration/sound thing destroyed the whole village anyway, which she saw, too.

Did the people from her village really deserve that after treating her like that?

It's rated show low because the people who dropped it lacked the patience needed for shows like this to build themselves up to full steam.

Really liked how they ended this episode with all of the towns people freezing and disappearing. I liked Nobunagas entrance as well. So badass.

wow... I felt like king torture just invaded nagunaga the fool and went at Ranmaru.

I honestly couldn't watch that part. This episode was pretty freaking intense. I honestly can't wait for the next. This show is truly stepping up its game.

Why it is so underrated? This show is awesome. How are the sales? I don't understand people who dropped it... Ok maybe beginning was lacking a bit but the lastest episodes are pure awesomeness.

This ep was very emotional, it was painful to watch Jeanne being tortured, I wanted to hug her. :/ Still waiting for some romance moments though : P

We all already knew Nobu was gunna save her so I just kept anticipating that the whole time.

Kinda just wished that when she was crying her eyes out that ya know he would have actually comforted her or something. Instead of just ignoring her lol.

and I applauded Mitsuhide at the beginning when he was like "Are you sure you don't mean that you need Ranmaru, herself?" I love it when characters say what I'm thinking.

Poor Jeanne, getting tortured and all... :'(

But I can't help but think she was useless /again/ - I mean, she saved the villagers from being burned alive, but then they all died anyway. I guess she did manage to ascend or whatever. Maybe now that she's leveled up, she can start doing some serious butt-kicking?

Shitty villagers! They got what they deserved!!

So, the plan was for Jeanne to declare that King Arthur is the Savior King and then become his wife. I think I'd rather be tortured to death or burned at the stake. I refuse to be married to a man whose face burns brighter than 1000 suns. I mean, that stomps on any chance of intimacy right there. And if that's a mask, I doubt there's a bishie hiding behind it.

Let Machiavelli marry him.

interesting.. the reversed Hanged Man seems to actually depict the Star of the West.. a reversed Hanged Man is instead a man attempting to balance himself with one foot over a piece of wood.. if an upright version is interpreted as sacrifice for the betterment of many/life or greater wisdom, the reversed one suggests that one is unwilling to listen to the message of letting go and is instead trying to struggle to remain in control when it is really not working.. the Star of the West are all so caught up with their superiority and dominance that their world is starting to suffer.. i knew they're just playing with trying to relate Jeanne's execution with The Hanged Man (it would've fit with the upright version so well), but we can't have that since she can't die yet in this show..

That was a great episode! 5/5
But damn... lots of people die almost every episode, makes me wonder what kind of ending this will have...
I'm starting to feel bad for Jeanne.
Caesar was a good boy this episode, +1
Nobunaga went full hax mode and took down two giant mechas with his bow, +1
Mitsu's plan worked (well for the most part it did), +1
Twins showed up this episode, -1

Next episode is ace of cups, aaaand Mitsu is probably going to play a major role judging by the preview, it's probably just a new plan of his but I hope he finally gets a giant war armor too!

Marketing. From what I got out of the episode, Cesare was talking about a prophecy that Jeanne fit. I'm assuming that this prophecy isn't common knowledge and no one outside of Jeanne's village know who she is. The people in her village think she's a devil, but if they had her come out and announce that Arthur is the Savoir King, his people could start telling people about the prophecy. So by controlling the message she would be treated as a prophet and not a devil.

So marketing.

Yeah this show is officially a trainwreck now. All we need is for Jeanne to get raped and it will be Valvrave all over again.

But the episode was amazing nonetheless. This anime developed way beyond my expectations. I can see it becoming even better and more serious.

Holy shit! Cesare is so freaking sick! I can't believe that he pulled off one of Jeanne's fingernails off with a pair of pliers :( Oh dear that gonna hurt very badly =.=, This is very sad and painful event for Jeanne herself not only she has experienced psychological damage itself but physical damage too. Poor Jeanne :(

I agree with everyone that says Machiavelli is a bitch. At first i thought she was going to burn Jeanne's hometown and let Jeanne stand there and watch everything consumed by the flames of death, not the other way around :( And once again innocent villagers has died due to the Dragon of the west mysterious magic? :/ Damn this is getting better and better i really want to know what will happen in the next episode!

and she can save them, but then after all they are killed...

I don't really know how to describe it all,

- Cesare is gross. We don't get a break after watching Hannibal and Charlemange act like asses in the last ep.

- Ranmaru torture. ALL the way through. And there's talk about Machiavelli being lesbian ^-^;

- Again, with the ridiculous bow and arrow tricks.

- W-T-F at the end.

It's rated show low because the people who dropped it lacked the patience needed for shows like this to build themselves up to full steam.


Because of the drama. And honestly speaking the characters aren't exactly great. Average but not great. Not much is really happening to progress the main plot. Lots of build-up turn a lot of people off.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

The torture scene is nothing I never seen from Higurashi, guess I kinda built a resistance after watching Higurashi.
