Kuuro getting to work already.

Linaris is here too and makes an impression, not bothered by events around her. Knew this anime would go into a dark path and that feeling of despair carries into this season. The military is merciless.

It's such a cursed pattern. Creating characters worth their own spin-off anime (in this episode, an airborne vampire), but instead of sticking with them, they're just moving on to create another characters in the next episode.

There'll be a total of 20 new characters in this season, we're already introduced 4 of them (Kuro and his fairy, the giant, the vampire) still 16 more to go!

Damn, they skipped Grey-haired child introduction and Togie City raid by Mestexil. Not the best parts, but they provide great buildup to how manipulative Grey-haired child is and how powerful Mestexil is. But I am happy Linaris got 17 minutes and they even added some anime-only scenes, like him getting a task from Enu. Some parts were slightly rushed, but overall I was happy, but I still prefer the novel version, unlike the Mele part that I prefered in the anime.
Still, coming in, I knew that many things will be skipped since they are covering so much in just 12 eps, I'm still overly happy with the adaptation and think it's pretty good, can't be helped when some things aren't how I imagined/changed/skipped.

Also the OP was an absolute banger. I'm gonna have to replay it over and over again for a while. There was a lot of emphasis on how cunning Linaris was in the OP. Also I don't think there was much of Soujirou, Kia, Kuze, Shalk there, if any. But you can see just how many new characters there are, it might be a little overwhelming. About 20 new characters.

Gonna be looking forward to the next 2 episodes the most, as Toroa is my favorite character, really looking forward to hearing his voice and his death glare and how the fights with enchanted swords are gonna be animated.
Mestexil was also someone I looked forward to, wanna hear his laugh and fighting.

Kuuro was once a member of Obsidian Eyes. And Linaris regards Kuuro as her elder brother.

They cooked with the OP and ED, safe to say they absolutely hold a candle to the first seasons’s songs which were very hard to beat, and Mayu Maeshima fits this series so well, she always makes bangers, same with sajou no hana who I’m so glad are back, they’re doing the ED this time but it doesn’t mean it ripped any less, of course the visuals showcasing all the characters are sick like before too.

And about the episode itself, how the fuck did I guess that Linaris was a vampire the moment she was on screen lol, I just watched Shiki so I know these parasites too well, they welcome you in all smiles but look away for a few seconds and your family is dead, my Shiki PTSD is too real lol. That Enu guy was really smart in issuing the kill order right away, but unfortunately for him, he was already in the palm of Linaris’ hand, RIP all those poor soldiers, I’m not totally sure how she managed to infect all of them but if it was actually airborne then that’s basically game over, that’s an incredibly OP way for vampires to spread their infection, and speaking of I really like the way vampires work in this world, super cool stuff.

But Linaris isn’t alone, she’s got her own squad of elites, I doubt they’re all shura level strong but I don’t doubt they are dangerous, and with Enu getting them into the tournament I’m sure we’ll find out how strong they are soon enough, if we get a third season that is which I really hope we do, I already know who I want to lose first with Linaris entering the lineup, she’s pretty and cool but the only good vampire is a dead one lol.

Something to do with the roses burning I guess. Is how she got the solders infected.

Fire OP, good ED, awesome episode.
This season of ISHURA be cooking fr.
I knew something was up with Linaris from the beginning cause beautiful, hot, and mysterious girls like her aren't usually normal.
And I was right, lol.
Still, she is quite captivating...

Wow, what anime character is more beautiful than Linaris? That girl is perfection holy... This anime is heavily underrated, such a shame. I was very suspicious that she was a vampire or some form of ghoul since I saw her at first with her aesthetics with the black roses and everything. She gives off those vibes.

I like Enu's eyes, the other Officials wouldn't really know if he was infected or not because of his creepy gaze. I don't think he blinked the entire episode lol

I'd do whatever Linaris says even without being her corpse. I feel sorry for that guy though, I hoped all it would take is him apologizing sincerely and she's not hurt him. Oh well.

Considering Linaris was disapproving of the soldiers being brought over, to me this possibly implies the letter was not to lure them in but must have been to infect important people as a biological warfare tactic.

Ok this episode we see the new Obsidian eyes lead by Linaris a vampire with a mutation allowing her to infect through the air so you could be easily infected without even knowing. Obsidian eyes might be the most dangerous faction introduced so far. They've already infiltrated the top officials with Enu and can keep increasing their strength by infection. Like if they infected Soujirou they would have one of the strongest visitors. If they infected someone like Kia somehow they literally could do anything using her. Even if not infecting someone as strong as the Shura champions they can get many of though weaker still strong champions.

Also although not seen beside the OP we got name-dropped the Gray haired child for the first time I think.

@Builder45 Kuuro and that orge dude were both part of Obsidian Eyes so Kuuro would know about Linaris. Kuuro is probably one of the few people that would be able to avoid her infection but who knows now if his ability is deteriorating

Soldiers were infected via Linaris's airborne mutation strain of the virus. Just being around her turns you into a corpse. My guess is that the roses were a red herring. Shirok cuts himself on a rose, she treats his cut, so it naturally leads Enu to think that she is just a normal vampire. Perhaps Linaris was the one to subconsciously manipulate Shirok into cutting himself in the first place without him realizing it...

That’s an interesting theory, I wouldn’t doubt it honestly, Linaris does seem extremely calculating so it’s very possible there’s psychological manipulation going on here.

that scene of the soldiers killing one another is pretty visceral. definitely makes Lineris stand out. I guess this episode was all about the obsidian eyes. It provokes the question, does that mean Kuuro is also a vampire? are all obsidian eyes vampires? i thought they were a spy network.

OP BANGS!! Is that my goat Maeshima Mayu I hear???

Looks like this cour is going to give a lot of focus to Kuuro. Admittedly not a big fan of him, but he’s seemingly getting fleshed out so I’ll go in with an open mind

Touyama Nao voiced character and Linaris is absolutely gorgeous, can’t fault bro for simping but holy fuck the end of this episode was brutal. The prettiest faces do the ugliest things. Did not expect to see Enu’s whole security task force kill each other like that. Nice but brutal payoff to his lecture about epidemiology earlier in the ep. Guess they haven’t discovered masks yet in this world lmao.

It’s crazy how every time I think I’ve seen the most broken character in this series, the next episode just introduces someone even more powerful or with an even cheesier skill. On the surface Linaris is definitely one of the most dangerous people in the tournament. I’m dying to see her take on someone like Soujirou for instance though.

only Rehart and Linarus are vampires. The rest are a variety of species, some corpses, some not. Some lore that was cut from the anime in this chapter was abouthow utterly ruthless,and psychotic Rehart was, using physical and psychological abuse to force his spies to fall in line. Sickeningly, it's implied that Rehart kept his own daughter, Linaris, locked up in the mansion and groomed her to fall in love with him so that she wouldn't disobey him, since she would be the only one he couldn't infected and mind control. It is also implied, however, that once Rehart died some members like Kuuro, Lana, and Zizma left the guild before they were infected by Linaris. Plus, the novel states that most members died, and now it's only these few plus whoever Linaris infects.
