Rick should be Angelica's life coach or something, not just helping with her training but also being a strong person.

Tbh without him, Angelica probably would've felt like defeated after all this was over. They seem to among the two most important characters in the show now..or least this arc.

Angelica episode so it was automatically amazing. 😻 The best episodes of this series are the ones where she dominates the screen time.

My baby was going thru it at the start with the training with Rick lol. She did well to put up with it and it looks like her efforts paid off. I love how she froze up when Rick asked what she would’ve done if she didn’t run into Geith until the final tho 😂 . Guarantee Geith won’t be underestimating her again. Can’t wait for next episode to see the rest of the fight, I’m sure her fiancé won’t take things lying down though

Also, this director LOVES Angelica ass shots lmao. He sneaks a couple in every ep. At least there’s no excessive pantsu shots

Essentially this is filler (I don't care if it's in the LN or not). It's an entire episode devoted to a side-character's development. In a 26 episode series of yesteryear, this would make sense as a fun one-off, but in a 12 episode season, I really couldn't care less about side-character development. I guess this kind of side-story is necessary to prevent every episode being Rick stomping his opponents without trying, but this episode did not really move the story forward at all.

Angelica being subject to Rick's training taken from his time at Orichalcum Fist, she's suffering the same to get stronger...

Rick may be like Noor, but at least he has a brain knack for the trainings to teach Angelica...except that he went through the exact same trainings as before so much that he wants to run away from it, no matter how many times he was resurrected time and time again. And through Angelica, it's clear that nobility life is not for her, but because she still wants to become the first female knight, that she perseveres under this path, and the results speak for themselves. That said, one of the Six Jewels is still in captivity, and that is still the main mission as of now.

The real tournament has begun with the high-profile players, though remembering Snape's match-fixing attempt, this will not be an easy one to claim the jewel off of Kelvin's belt, something that he has been trained for for 6 years with his trainer, the semifinalist of the tournament. As expected, Geith is not easy to pass, but Angelica, Rick and Broughston move forward in their own respecitve lines, while watching the 3-time champion do his thing as he always does, exciting the audience with his reputation.

Day 2 of the tournament, and Angelica vs. Geith is one highlight of a match that I'm excited to see of. Let's see who is the real weakling here.

Angelica is the best part of the story so this is an L take.

Let's say the organizers is somewhat good at arranging the match-up. They know the orc and the current champion are too strong so they put them in block B, but they don't expect Rick (and maybe Angelica) to be super strong too. Even if Angelica fail to defeat the lizard guy, Rick will surely do.

Loving this series, and shame it ended on such a cliffhanger with Angelica's fight.

Pumped for next time though and to see the rest of the tournament! (also hoping the tournament finishes legitimately and doesn't do the common thing where the final is interrupted by some giant monster or something 😬)

Yep I called it, red dragon was cheating, what a cowardly thing to do.

Glad they had her catch on right away, instead of waisting time with her getting beat up, then figuring it out at last moment to win.

She was able to show off her new hand blade technique from her hard work training and surprise everyone in the arena.

But this episode had things in it that had nothing to do with main story, so it wasted time.

Now they obviously baited us into watching next week's episode 🤣

I would have watched even if this episode ended with her winning the fight.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Angelica is NOT a side character, she is one of the main characters. Watch the OP. Anyway, I loved watching her cut Geith in this, would have been better if we saw her completely take him out but alas, not today.

@IzanaSolos

Angelica AND the sexy ass Dark Elf... and while i DO like Rick as well.. as i said in the last ED, its an ultimately forgettable show, despite beginning as a potential hidden gem

Angelica losing again would be a nice curveball considering how much they like to overprotect the main characters in so many shows now, especially the girls

this show needs that, then again all anime do especially since it probably wont be remembered in another season or 2, so pantsu can only help

I like that angelica training is showing off(even though we only saw the training in this episode). If see continues traing with Rick, she can become really strong.

I also liked the tournament. The cliffhanger leaves us waiting impatiently for the next episode :p

@Aldaric Probably my biggest complaint as well. Flashbacks can be good, but this one was totally unecessary. Idk why some shows are so obsessed with overusing them, when 90 percent of the time I literally could not care less.

Angelica is my twin-tailed waifu!
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Angelica's training clearly paid off, and she's become my favorite character. Although it pains me to say it, I think she's a better waifu than Reanette at the moment. However, she should be more grateful to Rick because if Broughston had been the one training her, she would have died many times.

I hope this doesn't end up being too cliché, with Angelica losing and Rick having to avenge her. But it's obvious Geese will cheat somehow. I feel like when Angelica hit him, some kind of barrier formed, so he might be using some kind of weapon or something like that. His strength isn't normal for someone without training, unlike Kelvin, who was talented but trained to become the best pugilist.

Angelica going from an ass to a pupil was a great episode! Welcome to the S class team baby!

I gotta say the thought of her and Jurassic park getting it on makes me want to vomit. But now I'm wondering who MC is going to pick. Her devotion to training might lead to a love connection (he's not THAT old).

Angelica has finally started her training. Rick is gonna make her the best fighter and the best woman knight from upper class. Rick and Reannette are just too cool, I love them. I also like Angelica’s ambition, she is willing to win the tournament, but I feel like either Broughtston or Rick are going to do it. Kevin Urwolf might pose a challenge as well.

The real fight has begun. Can’t wait to see who is going to win: Angelica or Geese? Thanks to her harsh training, Angelica has a chance to defeat him.

Angelica's training was hilarious as expected/
I loved how she looked like a wild animal during her final match.
I am really looking forward to seeing Geith against Angelica, that technique she learned from Rick seems to have worked.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.
