Damn, the psychological trauma hits hard this episode. The brother relationship in this show is also complex. I think they still did a solid at making Daida into a character worth investing into.

Can't forget about Boji either but he's on his own journey with the others.

Better episode than last week, and wasn't bored this time so I'll take the improvement. I was definitely interested in the first half with Daida and the psychological elements sprinkled into the story. Shit's definitely going down after the break with the second half, hopefully that can elevate the show from being a 6 to around the 7-8 range given its potential (was higher than 7-8 previously but given how I haven't been as sold on it emotionally and interest wise as I was with other series rated around 9 or more, probably would cap itself out at an 8 unless the second half is mindblowing beyond belief).

Daida is experiencing some freaky things in that void where he's trapped. Meeting what looked like a younger Miranjo there who had been maimed by those other people claiming that she killed hundreds of them beforehand. Its an interesting situation to show us the viewers since so far we have no reason to believe Miranjo but she did seem genuinely troubled at that young age. Later in the flashback Apeas had Miranjo spoke about her body being mostly fabricated so maybe Daida is stuck in the mirror itself and he did really see a younger Miranjo memories. I liked the flashback we saw with Daida and Bebin where he was shown that man who's blind and deaf. Daida getting a lesson in humility and inspiration, which hits harder for him now that he's trapped in that void. To be a good king you have to inspire people and show them the strength to live on despite their own personal hardships. Crazy that those underworld criminals escaped. We see that black mist in the jail cell so I wonder if Miranjo let them out, but if they take Bosse hostage then why would she. With both Hiling and Bojji coming back to the kingdom it seems the training arc is done and its time to save the kingdom!

Miranjo is finally here and she's freaking gorgeous! atleast the one in Apeas Flashback is..

I love how Daida redemption arc isn't just about him.. its about him realizing his mistakes, it is slow but is well written

This episode was mostly a hype up for next episode but it was still a nice episode all things considered..

I actually get a lot of questions from my friends if their children can watch this because of high score and childish appearance, which I always said "no no no no no your children are a decade too young for the violence and two decade too young to understand the metaphor behind this anime"

I really don't understand those people that come to this discussion especially to tap dislike it or hate it, if you hat it why you waste your time by watching it or come to this discussion just don't watch it, there are so many people that didn't watch a single episode and give it 1/10 to it or watched one episode and write a review how bad these anime are, those people are like NPC I check one of those NPC people that give 10/10 to an anime meanwhile 1/10 to his manga meanwhile the anime was based the same manga I really don't understand those people they are like NPC for me

Bebin talk about disabilities was fantastic.

When we have a Miranjo full backstory episode will be interesting looking at the information that we had in this episode.

Queen Hiling with that armor made me have cold sweat remembering of Casca from Berserk.

Desha is really well deserved being 2nd in the rank.

I may put Despa at the top of best anime teachers.

King Bosse is really into the go with Miranjo's tide.

Decent episode, but at this point, I continue to find it hard to really care much for the story or the characters beyond the point of it being very watchable at least. Sure, Daida's character piece is pretty nice and all, and Ousama Ranking in general tends to like doing interesting character segments in general hence why the focus isn't always on Bojji. However, they're done to the point where it still feels more sappy and operatic to me even if unintentional; I'm sure many people here won't feel that way which is perfectly fine. Not that I outright hate the characters at all. The story from what I remember reading through in the manga didn't turn out intriguing to me and it's no better here anime-wise.
For now IMHO, the great direction of visuals and art is doing the heavy-lifting for this series, and nothing much more.

A little more of Miranjo's life story was shown in this episode.
It was also shown that Daida is reflecting on her actions and that he is realizing that he was treating his brother in a bad way.
Hopefully in the next episode we can see Bojji in action.

What game is Miranjo playing? Game of thrones?
I suppose she's the greatest mastermind. Bosse isn't fighting back because he knows it's her plan. Maybe Miranjo did this precisely to bait #2 king into invading Bosse's kingdom?

So, we'll have a war. But what's the purpose? Miranjo is such an intriguing character! Bosse seems to be aware at least of a part of her plan, so he should at least know something about the endgame!

Could the girl with the mask inside of the Bosse's body be the same race as the Royal Guards from Miranjo? They use a similar mask

EDIT: I wrote this while I was watching, now it's clear to me. mb

That part about Miranjo's (and Bosse's past) is mighty intriguing to say the least.
I take it that way before Bosse met her wife, he and Miranjo journeyed together and at some point during their travels, maybe even indirectly, they caused the ravaging of some land?

holy shit.
it's already 11 episodes out of 23.

i still have no idea which character is good or bad in this series. hahaha
in a good way tho~

the characters in this series are quite complex to decipher normally.
no simple black-white situation like various other series

Daida that came out as pretentious brat early on turned out to be pretty gentle human with guidance from Bebin,etc



im excited for next episode with new revelation about Miranjo-Bosse-Desha dispute

This episode was a 4/5 for me. I can't put my finger on it but it just felt off. Not quite eventful, lots of plot building and setup but the way it was done wasn't very captivating or interesting. Queen Hiling appearing in the position of raiding the castle uhh feels like quite a bit happened off screen there. We don't know anything about the numbered knights too. It's not bad but rather too many things feel like they're being introduced a bit too suddenly on stage. I like the part where they confirm that Domas was a bad teacher rather than Bojji not being a good student. We see he's more interested in how he can do things and tries to teach more from his perspective than what his students' capabilities and aptitudes are.

If you make Miranjo sympathetic, who am I supposed to hate then? We'll probably get some backstory on the Knight-Commander guy too at least. Damn this show!

So this marks the end of the first 'cour', and we'll have a one-week break for the new year's. Hopefully the second cour will be just as good and ends well!

The beginning with kid miranjo was interesting - does that and the flashback halfway through the episode refer as Miranjo's body like a vessel? It feels like Daida is in the early stages of withdrawal and his soul met the original soul of Miranjo. there is a lot going on this episode but this is all I interpreted from it

Predictions :

------------------------- Miranjo ---------------------------------

- Little Miranjo is the "No Evil Still humanized" version.
- Lady Miranjo is the "Half Evil Half humanized" version.
- Miror Miranjo is the "Full Evil No Humanity" version (that's why she got no form, no body, she's just darkness in a mirror).

It seems as if what she's been through as a child, made her seek for something dark (probably getting into dark magic or something) that made her lose control and become that Mirror version that's just empty inside.

Also, when she refered to King Bosse not having kids, it's just because Little Miranjo's been "gone" before that point where Lady Miranjo translated the Demon and King Bosse met Bojji's Mother.

Finally, on Little Miranjo, she said "I'm going to be a Princess", so my guess is that she was close to Prince Bosse as a kid, growing together and potentially in love with him, and that's why she said that.

-------------------------------- King Bosse ----------------------------------

Okay, now King Bosse.. We've seen him being kept hostage by 6 men, I don't think he's really being kept hostage here.

He's most likely going with Miranjo's plan to generate that opportunity for Domas to close the portal, and then, he'll take care of Mirror Miranjo.

My guess is that she's drawing her powers from the Underworld, and closing that gate would shutter her powers, allowing Bosse to attack her.

My other guess is that previous King Bosse was partially controlled (through "Witch's Enchantement") and ordered to behave. When Bosse regained life through Daida's body, the Enchantement was lifted, and Miranjo must continue to believe that Bosse is on her side.

PS : There's a possibility the same happened with Apeas while she was conforting him.

-------------------------------------- Bojji --------------------------------

So Bojji is going back to the Castle and what can I say about that ? I believe he'll slay them all, but I also believe that when he'll be against King Bosse in Daida's body, he won't have the courage to do a thing.

Bojji loved his father, and even if he's inhabiting Daida's body, I don't see him killing him or even attacking him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In conclusion, I'm hyped to see what's gonna start Cour 2 !

Ranking of Kings is getting a lot of attention from people that doubted it'd be any good due to the looks, and well.. It's a good thing if people can discover it !

Good episode. Bosse is captured, Hiling has reached the castle, Bojji is on his way to castle too, the underworld people want to take over Bosse's kingdom, lots of things are happening. Next episodes are gonna be intense and entertaining.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

So now we get to see it from Daida's POV, and everything now makes total sense: the care from both parents (Hiling and Bosse), as well as the Mirror and looking down on his younger brother Bojji...that slowly gave way to his downward spiral.

A 100-year-old Daida? LOLS.

It's actually interesting to see his POV of other people being weaklings like his own brother through Bebin and another servant's walk on the streets, and that karma now coming back to bite him. Also, Miranjo in her true self, the kid whom suffered all kinds of atrocities, it's just simply unthinkable, less from the fact that this sequence can only be done through his isolation. The mystery of the fake Miranjo vessel is definitely intriguing, now that the true self revealed that Bosse has no children.

On the other hand, I feel nothing but ominous vibes from the Mirror visiting King Desha of the Underground, and he definitely knows their game for it to declare an emergency and play the Kingdom of Bosse in reverse to take over in the current state of a civil war. It's scary how Domas was SO close to figuring out the truth, but for now Dokuro is training under him.

The Miranjo fabricated vessel, I feel like while she's the main antagonist, she is just part of the paradigm shift of the entire kingdom, bringing her followers along like Apeas whom just can't seem to break out of her spell.

Glad that Bojji is still doing well under Despa's tutelage, but of course, the civil war has Bojji and Kage racing off to the Kingdom of Bosse as well, because the Underground's criminals have struck from the very top.

The 2nd Cour starting in January will see all of the results then, and I'm excited for it nonetheless.
