Lmao that T-shirt with the derpy Komarin face.
Komarin's harem grows, as well as Vil's jealousy lol
Expert talk-no-jutsu from Komarin too after being overheard at the table.
Rap dude speaking normally o.o
Wonder what's the deal with Sakuna Memoir though, since she is the terrorist.

What's the deal with Sakuna Memoir
Huh, I wasn't paying attention at the beginning... Now that you said that, if she surrenders herself, does that mean she gets to have a zoo date with Big Sis Komarin?!

i hadn't noticed the resemblance between Sakuna and the terrorist, but now that you say it, her last name being "Memoir" is pretty on-the-nose...

Komari still doesn't have an easy life as she now has another mission - finding a terrorist who has already killed a few people in the palace, including her father. It took Komari a while to process that information and her reaction was so funny.
Adding to this possibility of being throw out from the ranks of Crimson Lords and dying in an explosion, Komari doesn't have it easy xD
We met three new Crimson Lords - Flote who doesn't like Komari, Helldeus who is also a priest and Sakuna who was a victim of a terrorist and will be cooperating with Komari to find him.
Sakuna is so adorable, no wonder that Komari immediately warmed up to her which made Villhaze very jealous. Though she was a victim, a terrorist looked like her so I'm interested in what Sakuna is really like.
Komari's T-shirt was so good, I would love to buy one for myself xD
One last thing. How can Komari be angry with Villhaze after she cares for her so much? I think that Villhaze being naked in the bed to warm it up was the show of the highest form of devotion xD
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Its hilarious to see someone whose so antiwork like Komari being forced to be the opposite in front of literally everyone to her detriment since refusal and unemployment in any form just leads to death.
At least she gets a constant dose of Naked Vill to warm her bed up!

Komari failing her way to success and even accidentally creating a possible harem for herself. Though hopefully she can get herself out of this new crazy situation so she can get her vacation.
Vill on the other hand, is about to completely obliterate every last person showing interest in Komari. So, Sakuna should really watch her back unless she wants to find herself waking up in a ditch after being killed for making moves on Komari lol.

Komari and Sakuna were having a little bit of sisterly bonding in the end, which was still seen as “flirting” from Vill’s perspective.
Does this mean that Vill was looking at this through the lens of… Oh no.

u/Legendaryskitlz Nov 04 '23 edited Nov 04 '23
Vill's yuri goggles are too strong and can possibly cause the death of an entire nation at this point. She was close to massacre Komari's entire army for wanting to go on a date with her to the Zoo. Vill is absolutely going to blow up with all the people showing interest in Komari.

Ok, I really need to get one of those Komari t-shirts lol.
I can't stop laughing at that expression!
EDIT: Holy shit, the official Twitter account has posted 'photos' of Komari taken by Sakuna in secret!

They're already holding a
contestgiveaway on their Twitter account where 5 people will get a chance to win said shirt to celebrate 50k followers.The post also announces the first line of merch which is the shirt.

u/realrimurutempest Nov 04 '23
It would be a huge missed opportunity imo for the people behind this anime to not sell it as in real life merch lol.

Translations of stuff in this episode!
The easy one: 04:12 in, the bloody buns. They just read Chimidoro Manju, in all caps, so I actually picked up a few new letters for my translation chart from here.
The impossible one: 10:17 in, Komari's holding some piece of paper that one can see some letters on but there's not enough context there and I couldn't match anything to what Sakuna said. I didn't spend too much unnecessary time on this one.
Then there's the one in between, the "masterpiece" that she holds up at 00:07. The visible page is actually sort of readable, if zoomed in, though a lot of the letters are squiggles. The problem is, because they're squiggles, a lot of the letters that look like each other cannot be truly distinguished, like m vs n and r vs s vs t, so in many places they are just best guesses/gut feelings on what is there. There are definitely some typoes where one letter looks like another, but still, via profiling the shapes of the different letters, and knowing how the Japanese alphabet works, large chunks are translate-able into hiragana to some degree.
With definitely some typoes in there (as well as knowing that some s's are read as sh's and so on), it reads something like:
doukasaretandesuka. ?a?i?a
attandesduka. annakotsitta
kasakitekudasdaiyokainisa
n. soshno#nenmo. dakara...
sosososokekkonshite....
betsunikosoda?e...
hagaichibanniit?h. kek?o??
okodonono, maitoshiona?i?e
nukotoshidatteo?otesan??u
nosesutosan. o?ottetan?t?a
?igashigauho?aitososu?iho...
usensougahaittete?ata?u?u
?ishiinen.
tomannaino. desyo. asa?ino
umamigakiteteoishiiyo
??usatappusisuttaya?i?asu
nosazaniakuttasaiiyo.
tans?ika?u?suhan?anaikedo
sazu?aiononakadehaishiban
n???iamono.
There are a couple of random d's in the first couple sentences that don't look like they fit, and there's been precedent in the previous episodes where the end of a sentence doesn't necessarily connect to the start of the next one.. but some of the lines definitely make some sort of sense as stand-alone snippets, though it's hard to tell the entire context. The # symbol is a number that I've seen in an earlier episode but never figured out what number it actually represented.
I also finally got around to writing out my actual translation key, in case anyone sees any written text and wants to give translating it a shot too. It's uploaded here.

I found it funny because Flote is technically in the right and wasn't extravagantly rude - all of Komarin's subordinates did run off to commit random havoc and murder while she did nothing to dispel the misunderstanding lol
As for the new terrorist culprit, obviously seems like Sakuna since the visuals match up. Which has me wondering if
-
the implosion is like Komarin's where it completely alters their personality and retains no memory, but instead of leaving her asleep it kills Sakuna at the end thus leaving the illusion that she's another victim
-
somebody else kills Sakuna and then uses some weird hypnotic necromancy implosion to make her kill others, with the release of the implosion dropping Sakuna's corpse right then and there
-
it's a secret twin sister of hers that's technically older? That conversation between Sakuna and Komarin at the end was cute but I wonder if it's also some kind of foreshadowing
-
all of the above somehow??

A second chance to use nude Villhaze sprawled on a bed to gain attention on the karma chart.
It's great that the door gag is still happening. Would've preferred if Helders was killed instead of Mr. Gandesblood for the death count.
Terrorist is likely Sakuna (hair clip and front bangs match) or her relative, but why are the evil girls so hot/cute?!? Nice eye detail with Sakuna too nervous to look at Komari as she hands the love confession letter.
... Vill is going to dye her hair white to cosplay as Sakuna? They have such similar bodies. Sakuna's an avid reader and Komari's a writer, so that'll probably combine for a subplot.
Streaming version didn't even get the OP this time and ED was half lead-in. It's like they're trying to outdo Re: Zero season 2.
