| While everyone else beat their illusions, Yue was stuck fighting hers. She saw flashes of her past and started doubting herself. In the middle of it, she noticed something weird and tried to warn Shea, but the way she said it made Shea mad. After winning and meeting up again, Yue told Shea to look after Hajime if something happened to her. That just made Shea even angrier |
 |
| Finally some of Yue’s backstory! It’s funny how for her being the first girl introduced we kinda know the least about her! I would actually have loved an OVA or movie about her backstory and trying to maintain the throne and her uncle’s betrayal. Could be a no game no life zero type of story. Yue’s alter reminds me of Nemesis from to love ru Shea masterclass?!! I freaking love how she was the one to slap some sense back into Yue. They’ve gone from rivals to true sisters and best friends and it’s really beautiful to see. Yue was always the one encouraging Shea to hang in there and keep fighting and now it’s Shea’s turn to repay the favor. The closer you are, the more you fight, but when it comes down to it they’ll have each others backs. Poor Kaori getting her test ruined because of them tho π this was a great episode |

| Welcome back to Ice Cave Namek. Even more mirror match trials await. Funny how Shadow Yue, Tio, and Shea all confront the originals with actual traumatic events from their pasts, while Shizuku and Kaori just get "Lmaooooo you can't get MC dick!!!" Homeboy didn't even show up this episode, but they still can't stop talking about him! We've also got an incredibly pointless catfight. "How dare you think of contingency plans! I'll beat the shit out of you!" Waifu 1, Backup Waifu 1, and Worst Girl, clear. From the looks of it, we will be spending the rest of the season stuck in the motherfucking ice cave. |

| "Boring!" *UTTER SMACKDOWN!!!!!!* Note to self, bring my humor and stories A game when hanging with Shea. "Eternally tiny half-boobs!" "Leaky Rabbit! I'll make you pee your pants again!" Kaori: *jaw-drop* 'No way I can compete with those two. |

| Yue's, or rather Aleytia's, past is quite interesting. I hope they reveal more about it in the rest of the season, especially why her uncle left her alive. The animation took a hit in this episode, but honestly, I didn't mind because it was hilarious, the fight between Yue and Shea became real the moment Shea mentioned her height and lack of bust. Poor Kaori, though, her test was completely ruined. And Dark Kaor... what a way to die π€£. |
 |
| Rabbits are really dangerous in their world, though. |
| Love Shea she made this ep great |
| "one step at a time" |
| The title didn’t do justice to Shea’s part because she wasn’t bugged, lol. I don’t read the LN and I'm only understanding it from the dialogues, but omg, I don’t want to be annoying, but these labyrinth fights have been really bad and don't convey any emotion. On top of that, this discussion between Yue and Shea just took up time in the episode, but Yue’s line might have some significance later on, so I might be being hasty |
| I can't believe I'm saying this but this week's episode was ass. While I did like Yue... ahem Aletia's backstory about how she was betrayed. But after that... I couldn't care for the rest of the episode. Shea and Yue's argument was decent I guess. And Kaori's trial was just... there. Yeah, after a wonderful previous episode we get this. What a crock. Also, yeah Im kinda getting tired of the Ice Cave arc already. It's pretty much the same. A: (insert weakness here) B: That's alright, I have become stronger than I was last time. That's what it basically boils down this final trial. Frankly, I didn't like it in the LNs (outside of Shizuku's trial) and I don't like it here. (again outside of Shizuku's trial) |
| I liked the episode, but since the hiatus the average animation became just plain bad. The action scenes are garbage... despite that, I enjoy this show. |

Elior21 said: based on the pace the season will end after the ice cave so we will learn about her past only next and final season What ever arc is going to happen because of the apostles we saw approaching Aiko and Remia/Myu some episodes ago is going to be a cliffhanger, I think. |

Yue believes she has overcome her past as Aletia, but it is exactly that which she is being forced to confront by her other self.  |
| Better than the last 3 eps at least. |

So did Kaori kill herself?
| @GeekNewz Well, that one of Kaori's swords sticking in Evil Kaori, but we did not see how it got there. |

This was probably the best Arifureta episode till date. Loli hate should never be tolerated. "You eternally horny vampire" "Nympho rabbit" "Sexual assaulter" ; "Pervert" "I am not Tio" ; "Pant wetter" "Wicked old hag" "I am gonna show how strong gravity magic is, weep over those sagging boobs" I can't, this shit is so goodππ Meanwhile Kaori's test got cucked. Even the black version took pity on her, lmao. Yue backstory was only mentioned in passing. Finally it was shown only a bit. Stuff with her uncle sealing her probably will be important later. Despite overpowering the test Yue was still shaken with those immortality thing and got scared maybe. Shea saved the day. Slapped her back to reality. Kinda impressive that she kept up with Yue in a fight. Shows how much she improved as person and in strength too. Good to see such good bond between two of them. No inferiority, jealousy, insecurity both love each other as much as Hajime. That's why Shea could never accept Yue giving up, what if cases and have to beat sense into her. You can tell how hurt and sad Shea was when Yue said that. Just like Yue backed up Shea in her love, Shea now backed her up when she is hesitating. I like these two so much.  Ice cave dragging on yes, useless hero next so more mid stuff. But this stuff was needed about two main girls. Sadly animation is also passable at best. Still for me best episode till date... |

| 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. |
| It's interesting to learn more about Yue, and Shea's moments weren't bad as well but it's kinda sad to see the both of them fighting, at least it ended well lol |
 |
| "Dwarf... without tits?" It was hilarious!!! kekeke |
| The comedy bit was funny, poor Kaori. Didn't realise how strong Shea had become till she fought Yue head to head. |
 |
| We got a lil infighting, RIP Kaori's doppelganger in the crossfire lol. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| Hard to find anything good about this episode. Animation is bad, story is boring and the characters are annoying. I hope we are finally finished with those "tests" which all boil down to the MC anyway... |
| It's time for Yue's psychological fight, and hers is quite the interesting plot of an OP vampire princess. Seeing Yue's past definitely displays much of the animosity that we've not known of her since the very beginning of the series, yet as a girl that has become quite the fondness growing alongside the story itself. The betrayal of her uncle that led the once Princess Aletia to where she is now, together with Hajime and having a better life. Her reason for living being centered around Hajime is her sole purpose of living, and that will not change her line of sight. While it's the same for Shea facing her alter ego, though she has it easy with the rest of overcoming her past, it's the confrontation against Yue for pushing responsibility to her if she ceases to exist one day, with or without Hajime. Kaori is also the same with her true feelings on display, though her fight got interrupted by the vampire and the rabbit extending their area that only spelled comedy between her and her alter ego, even at the cusp of cursing each other. That was a wave of bad luck for Kaori, failing her test and also at love and romance. |

| Finally an interesting mirror trial, and its the most comedic one as Kaori won due to Shea's interference Goddamnit man we need more Alytia backstory |
| Yue's past is interesting and the thing about her uncle, that he could have killed her but he chose to seal her instead, and that Yue has altered memories. This episode helped Yue and Shea in strengthening there bonds and it was cute when they worked things through. Kaori overpowering her own copy was impressive but at the same time it was funny when her copy was trying to cheer her after she herself told that's "she's a useless nobody". Her own copy is kind like her. Poor Kaori, not sure if she even cleared her trial. |
