| Menou has guts, facing whatever stands in her way. Episode definitely had its 'wtf' moment but I'm not surprised how dark sometimes the show can be. If anything, I'm impressed by how fearless Menou is in this arc. Head literally rolled....damn. Shit hit through the roof. |
 |
| Oh, my. Definitely the freakiest episode so far. Poor Manon. The flashback of her childhood was pretty horrible. Now I can understand her a little better. Well, R.I.P. :( Pandemonium has such a hilarious personality, heh. That rolling head was creepy. |

| The true Menou has shown her true colours against Manon Libelle, and as held true, Manon also knows of Menou more than just the Pandemonium alone. The daughter of a Lost One (unlike Otherworlders being Isekai-ed), she was the start of the Fourth's indictment while losing her memories more with each passing day. And the Executioner Flare's cold murder silenced her mother and their dangerous Pure Concept power that's liable for death, that's a given. So Manon, not inherited of a Pure Concept, tried the reverse way into getting the same power (or stronger) through monstrine, and the Fourth was just a way to let loose of her real powers to inherit taboo from a pure, untainted soul. Menou being able to save Akari in the nick of time, decides to face Manon herself, and this is the fight to end all fights between Executioner and villain. And truth be told, this show LOVES to get "Darker Than Black", and I am deeply enthralled at the amount of blood and gore this has to not be afraid to show its dark moments. The Pure Concept, Human Error immortal birthed within Manon, and Menou doesn't drop her guard to do her job given her strange, friendly demeanor, shapen into 1001 demons... This episode is the epitome of a B-movie film, literally head-rolling Pandemonium, Chaos akin to The Conjuring. AND I UNIRONICALLY LOVE IT. |

| Shokei shoujo fridays! What a fucking episode man. No wonder Manon is so messed up. Seeing your mother killed right in front of you so mercilessly and to top it all of, she’s basically been told her whole life she’s too worthless to live and was too worthless to even die when flare killed her mom. But what a reveal for pandemonium. That whole sequence was genuinely terrifying. Manon was into some shit she had no business being into, this could be a global threat if even an ancient hero couldn’t deal with her. Also, Manon mentioned her mom wasn’t summoned but followed the stars. If that’s the case, could this world be a legitimate location like wonder woman’s island or something? crazy worldbuilding. Can’t wait for next week.  Also just realised I apparently have volume one of the books for over a year but forgot I owned it Lmaoo so starting later today |

| finally a good episode. This girl could make a really good guro doujin. |
 |
| This episode was actually pretty good it actually looks like they saved all the budget for that fight. |
 |
| That was grotesque sheesh! This is the edgiest anime so far this year, that ability was freaky. When she turned her head I swear I lost my eyes. I can't wait for the battle, Menou had better be ready for that freak show. |

| Akari gets some answers as for why Manon is doing all of this and we got her backstory, as she was a Lost One's child and after spending some years on that worls Manon's mother got killed by Flare, and basically tells Manon that she isn't worth to kill since she isn't taboo, a low punch towards Manon, specially because the people around her considered her a failure due to not having something of her mother's Pure Concept. After Manon gets a new power she immediatly attack Akari, but nothing to worry about since Menou comes to the rescue! She saves Akari and tells her to go away, also cute how this Akari was crying after seeing Menou, and instead of the current Akari the Akari with her memories actually do what Menou tells her to do. I really liked how Menou vs Manon was animated, it was pretty well done, Menou's acrobatics during the fight looked clean. I felt the battle was a little short, but maybe because it feels longer in the novel due to it being read. After Menou blows away Manon's arm resulting in her victory we get a little cute scene of an arm coming out of Manon's chest! I though that was going to be more censored, it's good that they weren't scared of showing the arm and the blood coming out. And we get revealed that the little girl from before was summoned by Manon's sacrifice. After introducing herself the girl gets immediatly killed by Menou, however that isn't all since she revives herself after coming out of her own body. I'm actually happy about something, since they skipped the prologue of the volume 2 of the novel the thing of the little girl being Pandemonium came out even more as a surprise, one of those weird instances where I'm happy something got cut for a better impact later. This little girl, Pandemonium, make her neck spin again and again until her head came out and a bunch of blood started coming out and from there a bunch of monsters came out and eat Pandemonium just for her to come out of one of the monsters, isn't this beautiful? Heh.And we are left out just before the battle between Menou and one of the Four Human Errors, Pandemonium. I have to say something, that last part of the episode was full of 7 words: E S S E N C E I know this is a Spanish Dragon Ball joke, but I had to say it here, literally bathing in another person's blood and eating other people, Tablos would be proud. |
| this is the best episode so far with a good reveal and a real cliffhanger, but it's the least talked about episode so far. I don't have faith in the otakus anymore. |

| Man idk what really happen that ep but it was cool lol |
 |
| @daft_mariner manon's mom could be the next pandemonium, just saying also pandemonium is at least a thousands years old, its likely even older than even the church itself also thx to pandemonium demons, monsters, dark lords etc exist in the world. its the equivalent of bringing dinosaurs back to 21th century lol there will be chaos everywhere as expected of pandemonium, the pure concept of chaos btw we have already seen Ivory, in the first episode. it was archbishop orwell who summoned her, forced her to be the hero and then killed her after she did her "job" pandemonium isnt joking when she says everyone forgets Ivory, did she just break the 4th wall? I think she knows people only remember mitsuki, the tragic self insert character who got killed by menou in the first episode lol |
| @Strykeryno we have already seen Ivory, I wonder if you also forgot about her I feel like...pandemonium can read our mind lol hopefully she's gonna be fine, she's such an interesting soul. we all know most of villains always get defeated and killed.... |

Haha, well, yeah she isn't Ivory, actually I think Flare said that that looked like Ivory but it wasn't that since if it was the second coming of Ivory then no one would have survived. Again, saying who Ivory is is a spoiler since the anime having her appearing is already a hard foreshadowing lol, I'll tell you in DMs since this is an anime discussion. |
| Good episode, similar to Mahoutsukai Remiekei this season, you're sometimes reminded of the true, violent nature of their respective worlds when gore ridden scenes play out every now and then. Difference is that this anime has a much more interesting story and better characters. |
| Akari is DUMB. SUPER DUMB! Your enemy is LITERALLY making a magic-like sign on the ground and she just watches on, then is surprised when something comes out of the said "magic sign" that she just watched her enemy draw. LIKE WHAT?! Meh to downright nonsensical episode. |
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |

But I'm talking about us before knowing that even if she had done something, nothing would have changed. At the time, we didn't know about ivory or pandemonium, which is why it's somewhat upsetting that she didn't even try to stop her at the time. |

| Pretty good villain writing on Manon Libelle. At the end of the day, she just wants to break free from her restraints and change. She's evil but at the same time I felt sorry for her death. She was told that she has an older sister and I wish this sister comes into play later on. They bring back that girl in the iron maiden but good lord she is creepy. And the twist that she is the actual embodiment of Pandemonium. Can't wait for more action and shocking twists. The fights are very well animated and I hope this gets a season 2. |

It would be weird for one to not be dumbfounded. |

| nice surprise, I thought Manon was the main boss of this arc, but she's just used by the real final boss - which is the loli. :D it's clear now that Akari power is weaker than what a "human error" has. She cannot stop the Starhusk piece from falling on a previous ep.. and here, Pandæmonium was still able to consume people who are time freezed. Would Akari have died if Manon was able to hit her with that black thing? That would have stopped the time looping. and Menou-chan, please stop trying to kill the cute loli! seriously though, this made me curious on the Ivory hero that Pandæmonium mentioned? (I would not look or reply to answers to this, don't want spoiler, sorry). looking forward to next week! :) |
| @Liddo-kun Agreed We Must Protecc the loli, pandemonium-chan she's over a thousand years old loli but a loli is still a loli I would be really devastated if she dies....she's such an amusing, bright and cheerful loli she likes dancing and making movies, I wish she would be a great movie director or screenwriter in the future |
| The show seems illogical as usual in many aspects. For example, if Menou is searching for the way to kill Akari, why did she save her? Both the behavior and the voice of the immortal monster/girl is just annoying and not terrifying. The episode should have assigned more time to the fight between Menou and Manon. After having built the detailed settings of an opponent through a few episodes, the effort was consumed in only 30 seconds. BGM died away at the beginning and only frustration was left to the audience. |
| yoo this episode so intense and epic !! that new cute villain is awesome and cool !! |

kuroneko99 said: The show seems illogical as usual in many aspects. For example, if Menou is searching for the way to kill Akari, why did she save her? Actually easy to answer, she shouldn't let Akari die unless there is a sure way to kill her since she will revive if she gets killed and not in a permanent way, and last time when she was thrown to the place where Pandemonium was she revived without problem after being killed there, what makes you think that Manon's incomplete power will kill her for real? I know that Menou didn't know about what that power was at the time, but from her experience before you could asume that even if she was killed then Akari would return. |
| ok, first episode and this1 are the most pog so far i wanted to hear "u can kill me as much as u want but i can only kill u once so i will try to go easy on u" to get the chills xD |

Yeah, Pandemonium is fine because she was sealed in the fog and because she is extremely hard to kill, and also very hard to find, that's why she is "fine". But otherwise she is probably the weakest of the Human Errors if not by her survability. |

I thought it was flare's doing, like her wielding the sword of salt would give her a resistance to akari's acausality somehow I thought the 4 human errors were all already dead, until pandemonium mader her fabulous debut on screen |

Nah, Flare's having the Sword of Salt is apart from her doing stuff with the time loops, the anime will eventually explain it anyways. |
