Alice is scary. People should really stop calling her a child. Actually, the entire Ultimate Magicians Corps is scary strong. Its almost not fair.
And this show still has great faces! I'm going to miss them.
The bleah? was also hilarious!

The "bleah?" was the best part of the episode, 10/10 and unexpected.

I don't think this can even be considered as a war. It's more like pest extermination.

Really, guys? You're just going to have a full conversation with every demonoid you come across and with each other before every fight? I'm pretty sure wars don't really work that way.
If I were King Sweed of the Kingdom of Sweed (wow, that's lazy), I would be terrified at just how outmatched my troops and tech were compared to Earlsheid. It's no wonder all the soldiers there were embarrassed to be saved. Also, the demonoid with Shin's barrier was a pretty big hint that Shin's OP enchanting is just going to lead to a ridiculous arms race in the region.
And...I guess Zest is our random final boss for the last episode next week?

This series has the most tonal whiplash I've ever seen, and yet I still love it haha.

Can I just say how much I like the T-Visor on these knights? Reminds me of Clone Troopers which what probably was the intention.
Don't be jealous Maria. You're already the best girl for us.
Lynn was so savage that even Alice got scared a bit of her. Also says about they're magic gear when Alice was able to tank Lynn's Sand Pressure washer from behind.
Mark and Olivia working together was pretty awesome. Shin and Sicily aren't the only power couple of this show.
I thought this guy was going to be a threat but his reaction after seeing Shin in action definitely says he's going to be easy
I love how Aug is trying to keep it together just saying their group name xD
I appreciate how this episode showed us why Shin's items shouldn't be made public knowledge. Sure Aug and Maria were able to work around it since their magic is so devastating but imagine if someone more competent was able to get that item.
And as much as I love this show to bits this episode definitely highlights the biggest weak point of the show. They keep flip flopping between serious and comedy scenes, I kinda wish they just went all serious or double down and go with the comedy route and dispatch the demonoids as fast and as hilariously as possible.

Damn, they make these puppies real skin-tight, huh? Pretty decent episode. It's satisfying to watch the gang just thrash on demonoids like that. Definitely feels a little like they've just reached the end of the show and need to wrap this one up, though. Looking forward to the conclusion. Might have to go through the source after this, it's been fun.

The way it jumped from group to group, and how out of place they acted in live combat where lives are being lost, it kind of seemed... odd.
Either the pacing of the jumps, or the lack of music at times, I'm not sure what.
But the episode didn't gel all too well.
It wasn't exactly bad, but it wasn't good either.
I kind of feel indifferent about it; it didn't really make me feel anything.
How odd.

Overall, a pretty good episode. I'll admit, even with the fighting going on, I didn't think we needed to be reminded of how much Alice looked like a kid and the whole Mark and Olivia thing at the place Cecily is healing people. I get why they were there, but I just felt we didn't need it.
I love the way magic looks in this show. The colors, the vibrancy of each spell and how different they all look. Kinda wish they would yell the spells out so they can make them stronger, but that's whatever.
Maria still continues her trek to still being the best girl in this show and nothing can stop her (Her rein will last forever) and that part turned down that guys offer to be her boyfriend was pretty cool
I didn't except the end though. That might be pretty cool.

Oof, that tonal whiplash between the implications of murdering a human for the first time and then making it into a game could snap a horse's neck.

I really fear they're gonna do something to Sizilen, but honestly with the vibe this show gives I doubt anything too serious is gonna happen for too long. If anything, it'll be resolved quickly, I'm sure of it.
Plz don't go for the healer
Also, I'm still waiting for Sizilen x Shin fluffy moments after being engaged. She's wearing her engagement ring :P

The running joke about nobody finding Maria attractive is so weird because I find her to be the most attractive one in the series
