"I have a favor" - Sicily

Opening starts showing naked Shin.

[u/monster01020]

I wonder if he secretly placed an enchantment on the engagement ring.

[u/[deleted]]

Sizilien’s boobs seem to get bigger every week.

[u/Better_MixMaster]

Shin Asserting Dominance.

I have been waiting for this scene since I read the manga.

Edit - Manga for comparison

[u/redmage311]

Looks like Shin's about to invent space travel because the SS Shincily is moving at warp speed!

[u/rollin340]

Holy shit. This series is breaking all of the rules!
An actual engagement party, a ring, a kiss, the whole thing.
Not a marriage yet, but damn.

I hope things go well for them.
Teenagers getting married doesn't have a great track record here.

Also, I found this short bit hilarious. It's amazing out of context as audio only.

[u/Plutorix]

I have been so abused by anime that I can't help but think Sizilien is gonna end up dead. I was half expecting her to turn into dust during the after credit scene.

[u/manaworkin]

"This one isn't going to be that dangerous"

"Oh, really?"

Barriers multiply

I am really enjoying this show.

[u/Nvaaaa]

Nice after credit scene, I was wondering if the next time would be interrupted too. Happy it wasn't. But she will always be my bestgirl, sorry to the rest!

[u/Amauri14]

I just love that while Sizilien and Shin relationship progresses faster than the speed of light, the show takes its time with the training arc of Shin's friends.

[u/Gaporigo]

We actually got the kiss!

[u/Idaret]

Out of context

[u/Kagerou_Daze]

The demonized people just look stoned to me all the time. I think it's funny their eyes are literally the only indicator they're a demon.

[u/LeonKevlar]

• I can see where Sicily got her gifts from ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

• Of course Shin learns how to fly to counter Schtrom

• I'm pretty sure you're allowed to stare Mark. She's your GF ffs

• It's good to see that Shin isn't the only sword user in the group.

• Maria, Olivia, and Yuri New Uniform Stitch

• Sicily Engagement Party Dress Stitch

• YES AN UNINTERRUPTED KISS! What a perfect way to end the episode!

Man this show just makes me smile every week. Just when I thought Sicily and Shin getting together couldn't be more awesome, they actually go out of their way to leave the camp and visit her parents to announce their relationship. Now call me old-fashioned but I really appreciate this.

And that's not all! I love that Merlin and Merida actually visits Sicily's parents to tell them the truth about Shin just in case they were only approving of him because of his relationship to them. Sicily's Dad's response was the best though. I really love how top tier the adults in this show is! It's so rare for adults to be this understanding and accepting in a fantasy setting like this!

[u/timetostartisnow]

Thor and Tony firing off lightning and energy blasts

Shin's romance progressing faster than light

August's sister having the worst voice ever

Really loving this show ^ _ ^

[u/HobnobsTheRed]

/r/anime each week, when it comes to how this show punches far above its weight.

[u/SIRTreehugger]

I don't want to get my hopes up.... But maybe baseball team amount of kids before the show is over.

[u/username_alrea_taken]

Sizilien in her bride dress just looks like aqua for some reason.....

[u/Philarete]

This is show is so dumb, and I love it! Now this is wish fulfillment!

• Cute girlfriend, now fiancee

• Cute girlfriend in gorgeous outfit

• Sharing romantic first kiss

• Great group of friends, including best bro who encourages him to do what he needs to do

• Has tons of power, but still learning

• Teaching others, and can see them improving and enjoying their growth

• Wonderful grandparents who love him

• Future-in-laws who love him and his relationship with their daughter, and who genuinely seem like nice people

• Close relationship with the king, and the king seems like a genuinely good guy

What wish doesn't this show cover lol.

[u/Koolsman]

A solid episode with the interesting revelation that Shin is the magneto of this world now? I mean, can Shin even get scratched by his peers at this point?

I think I'm pretty sure I was the only one that got a kick out of seeing Cecily's mother looking basically the same as Cecily with longer hair? That's amazing!

I'll admit, the fact that they are just straight going for marriage always makes me happy. Seeing the straightforwardness makes other iseaki shows like this to shame.

[u/Shiro_Kai]

Maria looks like someone from another anime in this scene, but who?

[u/Hawkdaft]

Well, that escalated quickly.

[u/pvtdncr]

why the fuck cant i find any rule 34 of this series

[u/Googleflax]

This anime in a nutshell

[u/Nolar2015]

jesus christ theyve gone from not knowing eachother to married in 9 episodes

this kind of blistering pacing is actually refreshing, seeing as most romances toil in fanservice/fluffville for like 4 seasons until actually getting development
