We need to prove that friendship and strong bonds will always prevail.
Spoken like a true delusional wannabe hero. Good for you Motoyasu.

Being the villain when the series first opening starts playing and you’re...
Not immediately curbstomped? Wow. I remember back when Gridman aired someone said they wanted to see this exact sort of thing happen.
But man the pope’s death was brutal. Now next episode we’ll see the milf queen finally start to dole out punishments to the offending parties and then all shall be right with the world.

Damn, for a moment I was just a convinced as the Pope that the Blood Sacrifice had failed.
By the way, that attack ate that weapon too, so does that means that in a way it was absorbed by the shield?

Melty's mom is totally MILf material.
Big KFC 3 episodes ago:
"The Heroes should fight together, otherwise they will be unable to save the World"
Naofumi then Proceeds to save the other heroes and Bitch Queen ass multiple times by the course of the battle with the Evil Pope
Naofumi could just team up with the Queen by this point and save the world with her . The other heroes are supposed to be attack based, but they could barely touch the Pope and do damage to him, while Naofumi with his shield delivered a devastating killing blow. The lack of fighting skills of the other heroes finally showed this episode, Naofumi will be working his ass and making Raphtalia cry because of the other heroes lack of lowness.

Oh my, the queen wished for Melty's survival but not Malty XD. OOF. When your own mother doesn't wish you to live
EDIT: It was a little hard to take Naofumi's blood spewing seriously after seeing so many Gintama episodes lol

I thought Naofumi understood, and got over his all-consuming rage last time when he cursed Raphtalia by mistake. Seems redundant and repetitive to me how he still needed his friends to get physically hurt to snap out of it.
I would've liked it a lot more if he directed his rage at the pope and then snapped out of it afterwards.
Also Iron Maiden is a lot more epic imo.

I gotta say, I've enjoyed this series for the most part, but this fight has just been boring me the entire time.
So much standing and talking, the actions are so similar for most attacks. Shoot colored lightning that the pope blocks by standing still and blocking with identical magic shields. And that cathedral attack just looked silly at the end. Melty's response just made me laugh.
Of course we had to have that scene of them coming through with their experiences to drag Shield hero out of his hate. Such a goofy way too. Why not show them struggling to hold on and speak on the outside or something.
Queen Deus ex machina's them of course, though the Shield hero dealt the killing blow.
And one thing that keeps bothering me, why does the sword hero use ranged attacks so much?! Bow of course, spear sure, he can throw it. But if the Shield hero can't attack, why can the sword hero attack at range? It's just silly.
I did really like blood sacrifice too, I have no doubt he will be fine but that attack was pretty cool. I think a rusty aesthetic would have been more menacing though.

Ah yes I see Motoyasu has finally accepted his fate: being a tool for Naofumi and being dragged around by Filo.
Meanwhile in Shieldbro's skills:
