This was one of Leonhart's biggest victories imo. It also restores confidence in his leadership.

Episode had a lot of chemistry between Leonhart and Sariphi. He truly cares about her and it's an unique relationship in this show. That ending was so sweet.

As normalcy returns to Ozmargo, there is less than the same usual peace residing, as the Grand Consecration ceremony comes and Leo has recovered.

Princess Amit realizing that Leo's ring to Sariphi is gone, though it broke for protection purposes. As a replacement, Leo brought Sariphi to a place where a great tree resides, and how the ring was made to be, aong with the legends of Ozmargo. Of course, Leo remembered the promise of the ring, though embedded with the untainted blue spring water to promise that he will never be apart from her. But Sariphi chooses not to participate in lieu of the people of Ozmargo, since the ceremony is to raise Leo alone. Sariphi remembering the night of thunderstorms that made her a sacrifice, Leo couldn't do it with his power, leaving the sacrifices helpless.

Leo's mother has always been a mystery to him, though he was born with the bybrid blood, and Sariphi shares that sentiment with him. Yet another sacrifice from Yoana beckons, and Leo wanting to abolish the system thanks to Sariphi, unless if something can be done to save the sacrifices, that time is now for Leo as king, though fighting with rules and principalities bringing humans and beasts. Bringing this to Anubis, he vehemently denies, though Leo is ready to make the change required, and along with Lante. But this issue is a rather big hurdle to cross, and Anubis wanting to speak to Sariphi about the mutual understanding between humans and beasts and the idea of her being an envoy, she wants to charge forward with the case, and Anubis agrees to the call that Sariphi will represent Ozmargo to go back to Yoana. But compromising her safety is out of the question, and Bennu is the rather apt creature who can aid her, other than Lante.

With Sariphi being Leo's emissary, this is a great move of change as she wants to see things though and draw courage from Leo's safety. Really, Sariphi and Leo's relationship is "Beauty and the Beast" level type of sweet romance, though with Leo's records being the only ones in the royal library that history has been adulterated, there is still that spark that can derail Ozmargo for what it is.

Romance wins at the end, but kingdomship comes first.

Sariphi travel to human land again is such a perfect excuse to bring back Ilya as her guide/guard.

loved this episode. always great to see leo's growth through sari's love and counsel and it was beautiful and very much in character to see him push for her to stand by him officially only to be denied and realize he was being hasty. 

i also adored how the new ring is purple, to signify their union.

i thought ilya will serve as sariphi's protector in yoana due to some turn of events, but i guess that still might happen (or maybe not, don't know).

screw that set guy though, don't know what his ambition is and clearly, based on the opening we already know he's he next bad guy, but even while ignoring that, maybe he should be doing his job instead of snooping around, not to mention he didn't even apologize properly for bumping into sari.

Damn what an episode. Another awesome Niehime ep. A lot happened and some cool foreshadowing.

First off, new ring! Instead of just a magical protection ring this one is to symbolise Leo and Sariphi’s commitment to one another, how sweet. I also like how it’s purple which is both of their eye colours combined. Nice touch.

Sariphi is showing some real maturity and leadership lately. Accepting that the kingdom isn’t ready for a human queen to make a public appearance at the festival alongside the king, reading up on the history of the kingdom and trying to learn as much as possible, etc.

Loved her conversation with Anubis as well. “You don’t dislike humans, you don’t like me.” Very important and relevant lesson. You can not like individuals, but painting an entire group or race with a broad stroke because of your interactions with one person. Funniest thing is Anubis doesn’t even dislike Sariphi anymore he’s just a prickly tsundere.

Volunteering to go off to Yoana is another bold move, but shows Sariphi’s determination. Also gives a great opportunity to bring Illya back into the story. Been a long time since we’ve seen him. PV for next episode shows Leo in human form so I wonder if he’ll be joining her at some point.

We are clearly transitioning from the physical fights and action of the last few episodes to a more political and ideological struggle. Set is likely going to live up to his name as the Egyptian god of war and chaos and call into question the legitimacy of Leo’s birth and reign. Meanwhile Sariphi will have her own battle in Yoana. Hype.

Leo is taking a bold gamble by trying to dismantle the sacrificial tribute system and foster diplomatic ties with humans. It seems essential to break the cycle of prejudice and animosity between the two species.

Sari's portrayal of Anubis was incredibly accurate, which is amusing. Anubis is prepared to go to great lengths for Leo. Fortunately, Sari has Bennu by her side; despite his appearance as a chubby chick, he possesses significant power.

The mutt's investigation into Leo's origins appears concerning. The outcome is likely to be unfavorable. I'm intrigued by the possibility of discovering more about Leo's mother if she's still present.

So they're finally planning to negotiate peace between human's and beasts, about time! I just hope it goes well. When Sariphi left you can clearly tell how worried Leo is, even the tough guys have a soft heart. Set's searching through Royal families birth history? Leo's birth history? What is he trying to accomplish?!

It's a promised ring this time feels like a wedding ring, how romantic. Nice episode, more of Leo and Sariphi sweet moments.

And it looks like the biggest adventure is about to come.

Omg the little mockery thing Sariphi did of Anubis, that was really cute ahahhahahah

But god how are there still 5 episodes in this I'm so damn scared to know what will happen that can drastically happen at last minute's notice 😂
That weirdo Set is still planning some dumb shit behind the scenes I hope nothing bad comes out of this 'cause I know he's gonna use the fact he's half beast half human against the King but I feel like eventually everyone will find out because that's just how this sorta thing will pan out 🤪

Am I the only one to notice Sariphi was carrying only 4 books but after bumping into Set he left behind six books? Was that an animation error or did he actually miss two books? I guess we will find out anyway. Since he was doing it for research I suppose he wouldnt have done it on purpose so if it occurred it was an accident.

I think after taking a human wife it would not make sense even in their politics to keep sacrifices up because it would send mixed messages on both sides so Anubis isn't being all that unbiased in his rational.

Sariphi in her envoy's outfit looks really good! She should wear it more often, especially with her hair tied like that. Also, her new mission is gonna be a difficult one.

And the white Justice guy is gonna ruin it at the end. Betrayals from deep within are just troublesome.

I would be the same way if I was the king. There's no way I would want my wife to go into dangerous territory, especially without backup
