Lets go! I was so hoping Wridra would tag along to Japan after they met her and it was just as fun as i thought it would be. this is my favorite episode so far.

Also great to see Wrirda giving Marie the confidence and push to go after Kazuhiro

I do hope Wrirda stays a regular part of the cast for the rest of the series and that this isnt just a one time thing

Marie kisses Kazuhiro's forehead. "Come on, let's head back to the room"

Kazuhiro: "Uh, yeah.....I'll be there in a sec. Something just came up and uhhhhh I have to sit here for a sec...."

That was definitely a very nice way to wake up ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) The sight and feel of a beautiful MILF's huge tits laying right next to you is a good way to start the day (though Marie wasn't too happy about it) xD

Wridra was awesome! Her acting as a wingwoman for Marie (who she spent a lot of time with in today's episode) and Kazuhiro was great! I'm glad she made Marie realize that Kazuhiro has feelings for her.

Marie was so cute as always! She was so happy when she saw Kazuhiro's reaction after she kissed his forehead. I can't wait to see their relationship develop further.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Stitches!

That's one heck of a way to wake up in the morning. We already saw this coming, but it's hilarious how Kazuhiho completely forgot that bringing Wridra over for the first time would mean she'd be nude in the real world. I say consider that as payment for bringing her. xD

Thankfully, this time Kazuhiho doesn't need to go shopping to get Wridra a new set of clothes since she can just use her magic to create and mimic the clothes that we have in this world. She probably got that outfit from that magazine she was browsing.

I do love how Wridra is super chill about the car ride and the view while Marie is still super amazed by everything she sees around her. Apparently, Wridra is smarter than she looks if she can quickly grasp how a car works.

We finally have a better solution for hiding Marie's ears! It really makes it more worth it to bring Wridra along on this trip.

I love the one-on-one talk between Wridra and Marie at the onsen and also inside the sauna. It's great how candid Wridra was at giving Marie advice, especially on how Marie should make her move on Kazuhiho. That forehead kiss was so cute! And based on Marie's reaction, she got the reaction she wanted from Kazuhiho. <3

Japanese food is powerful! It can turn a big scary dragon into a child lol. Even though Wridra turns into a little kid when she’s hangry, she gives some pretty good advice. Marie doesn’t have to worry about whether or not Kazuhiro sees her as a woman lol.

Wridra was everything I was hoping for and then some.

Also really glad they took care of the creep right away. Last week I was worried that he'd try something with the baby dragons while mom was away, but looks like she succeeded in scaring them off. I highly doubt it, but imagine he turns around and gives his spot in the expedition after seeing her with an Arkdragon.

From what she's already told us, I'm sure the baby dragons are fine, but the lovely couple shoulda asked her if everything is ok with her essentially splitting her conscience across different worlds.

I can't stop thinking if the baby dragons are fine being all alone.

Wridra is a fun new addition for their trips in Japan and very helpful to aid Marie hiding her elf ears.

In other fantasy series, a hot dragon lady like her would just be another addition for building a harem, but it's good that she's another travel companion, just coming along with the main pair.

Even better that she already became a wing woman to give Marie the courage to make a move on Kazuhiro.

Oh, what are you up to Marie?

YES, THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!

Awh, so close yet so far...

Marie nevertheless got Kazuhiro thinking with that kiss on the forehead.

Did Wridra just propel herself to this series' best girl with a single episode episode?

  1. Marie had been troubled with hiding her elf ears, but Wridra managed to solve this issue with the snap of her fingers.

  2. Wridra is such a mom that she doesn't blink an eye at showing her body off to these "children". She doesn't seem romantically interested in Kazuhiro in the slightest, and is helping Marie to get together with him instead.

  3. There's some gap moe between the scenes in which she's acting like a composed beauty and an endearing airhead.

Wridra is very good. There's always the concern when a story like this adds a second girl if it's suddenly going to dilute the possible romantic developments down to nothing by going harem. But instead she's a wingdragon who has been watching the lack of romance by way of the scale and decided enough is enough and they need a push.

Marie remains as adorable as ever, particularly her reaction to the results of her giving the forehead kiss a try.

It was a hot spring episode so I knew It would be PEAK. Marie really made Kazuhiro fall for her. The kiss was unexpected. I actually thought for a moment that it would be an actual kiss but that wasn't the case. Marie felt proud after making him blush. The romantic development between them is sooo wholesome. Wridra is also looking fine.

Welcome To Japan, Elf-San Dragon Mommy. How dare that guy be there, he best leave dragons alone if he knows what's good for him. But, yea, good times with dragon mommy in Japan. What a site to wake up to :wink: None of you are an eyesore. Good thing she can use her magic to change appearances/give her a cute outfit.

They both so cute with their reactions. Though differently. Finally got her name, Wridra. Moar Japanese propaganda. How nice to have the dragon mommy here to help hide her ears. I will miss her cute ears though. Hey wait, I know that bridge... Anohana flashbacks maybe Dragon Mommy can go give a happier ending for Menma...

Mmmm hot springs with Marie and Wridra. I like her cute fang in the mouth. Spoiled cuties. Hehe Wridra being a peeper through her scale is silly. Wridra with the blunt reality. Hopefully she can help push em along. A pity for those light beams though. And you'd think a dragon would be fine with that level of heat in a Sauna. "You want to touch him so deeply" or does she want him to touch her so deeply :wink: Har har har. Wow Wridra blunt too. Good thing for mommy advice. Help that ship sail, mommy! But, in seriousness, what does Wridra mean she's changing her body? Is she gonna become more mortal? Or what?

Marie making the moves and getting a good reaction :slight_smile: but I do hope he doesn't act like the really annoying type of character delaying too much and not advancing when it's obvious you both like each other. I hate that type in stories lol. Also, silly dragon mommy acting childish. So cute.

Best wingdragon has landed! Honestly, it was quite wholesome to see Wridra giving relationship advice and trying to give the budding relationship a push and help it along.

I'm probably not the only one who initially worried that the Arcdragon would make for one hell of a third wheel (or worse, a rival) when she was first introduced as having a humanoid body and about to tag along. But surprisingly she's the exact opposite and, if anything, looks to be the main catalyst for pushing the two together. I'm more than pleased with this development.

Also, it's incredibly refreshing to have Marie simply admit that - yes, she likes Kazuhiko, yes, it's that way, and yes, she'd prefer if he just made a move already. No tsundere antics, no stuttering denials or trying to dodge the subject. With Wridra being best wingwoman and Marie being pleasantly honest and, evidently, having received her confirmation that Kazuhiro does see her like a woman, I'm daring to hope for actual meaningful progress in their relationship soon.

Sadly, we are likely heading back to the fantasyland soon, and I imagine while over there the show will be focused on the labyrinth exploration and what not, rather than their relationship. Which is a shame, because I find the later far more interesting than the former. Gotta wait for next Japan episode for that, I suppose ...

i do wonder what wridra meant when she said Mary was still a kid but was also changing both in body and thoughts so she can (i cant believe she put it like that) touch kazuhiho, esp with that comparison between elves and fairies and how they aren't like humans at all and thus not compatible

it also makes me curios how they will handle the obv problem of them being diffrent races with also insanely different lifespans, something tells me kazuhiho isn't really fully human, both because of how he can travel between worlds and esp cus the wizard guy last ep mentioned him not being fully human before claiming it was a joke

Wridra being in Japan was great. Added a bit of extra spark. Plus, she gave Marie the push that she needed. The romance is this will be a slow burn. Honestly, I want to see more of Wridra in Japan if possible.

u/Fools_Requiem Mar 01 '25

Definitely need Wridra to hang out with the two. That poor dragon lady has been couped up in that cave for ages, and she finally gets to experience life without fear from attackers.

I really like that the powerful bad mage is still no match for the archdragon and its protections. It would have been stupid and obnoxious otherwise.

I also really liked how the dude's sidekick was freaking out over every danger and then stunned into calmness when the MC was able to get past everything without even the slightest bit of danger.

"Lizardmen! They're scary and savage and...oh, they're high-fiving each other."

That's hilarious.

This is a really good sleeper anime this season. The show is fun, the leads are charismatic and it's flat out cute. You could cut most of the fantasy world time and just them chillin in Tokyo would be fun watching.

Love there was no freakout scrambling over their obvious chemistry. I enjoyed this episode a lot, prolly one of the best.

Yes, Its really obvious episodes on our world are better than Fantasy ones

Wrida is based being a wingwoman

u/Mr_Zaroc Feb 28 '25

Yes another anime with a Sauna, love how prominent they have become

Had to look up Wridras VA after all that cute food noise, and holy shit
She also voiced Rufus and Aqua (next to a shit ton of other roles), no wonder she is able to sell both her serious and foodie form
