Ishura 2nd Season Episode 12 Discussion

Wow, even in the finale we have yet another drab character introduction. No because seriously this show never fails to be the biggest waste of 20 minutes every week. Only thing that was worth it this week was seeing Soujirou again.. but again, for less than a minute, great. Also seeing an interaction between the only interesting character that was introduced this season, Mele, and Yuno was cool.

Other than that... holy snoozefest of an episode. Just like the whole season. Seriously, how are you gonna be a tournament arc show... and not have a single character even step foot into an arena to start this tournament arc. Because I promise you this ain't getting no season three lmao, so this was all nothing but a big waste of time... great.

This show must just not be for me, because clearly I'm failing to see what makes this such a "hidden gem". If anyone would mind telling me what makes it that, I would love to know.

@IzanaSolos it's really funny how you keep complaining about being bored and wasting time but still keep watching

@Moijer9869 Hm, maybe because, I don't know, I'm still waiting to see this tournament arc, you know, the whole thing this is being advertised as... I also held hope that they would do more with Soujirou's character... which they didn't.

Goddamit,got us all hyped with no Season 3 confirmation.Guess it'll only be the 16 ,thought it was gonna be 29 w all the ministers.Wonder what they'll do w Kuuro from now on since he isnt joining the games.

Alright that first party guy cant be a coincidence using a spear and not seen killed off.Hes gotta be Shalk,especially w the bit where hes scared to go to the Final Land.Im guessing the two survived members didnt remember about the real demon lord huh.

Been yet another great season of Ishura and continued being painfully under the radar.Absolutely wish for a s3,but not even sure if its even popular enough in Japan.Overall,i'd say this season was better and the characters are more fleshed out.Giving it a

-High 8/10

@IzanaSolos Real question. You seem to be a fan of one piece and other goal oriented animes. Do you also complain there? Why Luffy is still not a pirate king, this is what anime is all about no? Same with Ishura, tournament isn't all there is. One of the most important parts of this season was the identity of the demon king. You just didn't like the anime period. It didn't matter even if it was a tournament, you'd have given it a 4 regardless.

@Hirugiku LOL. Comparing this to One Piece.. Yeah, okay. You see the MAJOR difference between this and One Piece, and what makes it actually good compared to this, is that the goal and it's character are, listen to this, actually interesting. I know, it's something crazy that this show wishes it had. I'll give you this, the season one characters, I actually found interesting, and I got even more interested in them at the end when shit stated going down, so I thought they would do more with them this season and then finally start the tournament arc with those characters that I have attachment to.

... Here in season two other than, again like I said, Mele, I found none of the characters interesting in the slightest. Like every episode this season is just drab character introductions that all played out the same. In season one at least everyone felt different and unique, which made it that much more cooler when they all started interacting with each other at the end of it. Here, maybe two or three of the like eleven characters we go introduced to interested with each other, and even up to the FINAL episode.. we got more drab character introductions. Horrendous season, don't ever compare it to One Piece unless you've actually read/watched pass five episodes it.

Hear me out... I can fix Shiki

@IzanaSolos So you just don't like characters in general, which is fine. It has nothing to do with a tournament. You think if a tournament happened, you'd be more interested? when you don't care about the characters? So is hypothetically Soujirou and Mele lost, then what? you'd dropped it then? It seems stupid. Also, out of everyone's comments I've read, you are the only one who doesn't like the characters introduced this season.
Also, hard disagree that character introductions were the same. Even take Tu vs Shalk intro. Shalk's intro was baited by Kazuki so you thought it was about her, nothing like this happened, then he took over her spot in the tournament. In Tu's episode, total opposite happened, she didn't kill anyone and her tournament ticket was handed to her by Krafnir willingly.
Mele's episode, he didn't fight against anyone, but the storm.
Uhak's episode was overall the most unusual with the story telling, told by an old woman, him not speaking.
I'm kinda upset at this comment, because the author tries to do different things for every character introduction.

And I'm sorry, but it's a valid comparison to One piece. It took like 100 episodes for something interesting to happen.

Point is, you just don't like the anime period. No tournament would've saved it for you.

damn. I would not have guessed either the schoolgirl, fear or the dead aspect of the true demon king/queen.

given that "battle" being a clean sweep I expect it's only the ogre that would stand a chance against her but he'd end up doing her in randomly like that wolf or giant.

looking forward to a season 3 since I wasn't expecting this one either.

hoping for more chaos definitely.

most of the mysteries of the past seem solved.

2 seasons for building the characters.. After all that building, I hope they won't die fast lol.

Still wondering what's the tournament format. Some contender have non combat oriented skill. If it's team battle, it would be interesting to see the team combinations

@Hirugiku Omg... can you read?? I didn’t know I was arguing with an illiterate person, my god. Okay, so you claim I "don’t like characters in general," when I literally said I found every character in season one somewhat interesting. I specifically said that, aside from Mele, I didn’t like a single character introduced IN THIS SEASON.

As for "if hypothetically Soujirou and Mele lost," I don’t know, maybe if, instead of this garbage second season, we used the characters from season one plus Mele for the sake of argument, I still wouldn't care who won in the tournament arc. So, I would’ve been fine with someone like Kia or Shalk winning as well. Not sure if you understand this, but what I consider Soujirou and Mele to be is a little something called "favorite characters."

And so what if I’m the only one who doesn’t like the characters introduced this season? Are you saying that just because everyone says they’re good, that automatically makes them good? That’s like saying Solo Leveling is good just because everyone hypes it up, when it’s not. And okay, I’ll admit a fault in my argument: I shouldn’t have said every character introduction was the same. I’d rather say that the way they’re introduced lacks focus and fails to provide enough incentive to truly care about any of the ensemble cast members.

And yeah, after reading that second-to-last sentence, it’s now clear to me that you brought One Piece into the argument just to bait me into replying. You knew I’d take the bait if you insulted one of my favorite series because it’s obvious you haven’t actually watched One Piece if you think "it took like 100 episodes for something interesting to happen." If anything, it’s either interesting from the moment Luffy pops out of that barrel or when he saves Nami, lol.

The point is, you can’t handle the fact that I insulted your favorite series and pointed out a flaw in it, so you made up a bullshit flaw in mine that makes zero sense

so i am really interested in characters and world building, tell me which volume should i start from here after
.i need to know how this OP characters gonna battle each other

most op in my opinion goes like this -

Shiki(demon king)
kia
uhak

rest are hard to rate but this three looks strongest

@Abomination_suah at around 270 page in vol3. Preferably from Shiki's chapter onwards cause they skipped a lot. Also suggest reading Tu's chapter in vol3 and Toroa's chapter in vol 2. Plus some scenes skipped in vol2.

But of course it had to a high school girl.

What I don't understand is how that dog dude survived enough to see him fight the slime.

I want to ask to the one person that has read the novels, will the tournament start in the next season? Thank you in advance.
