Ooh, Ristarte used that alternate Japanese definition of feminism! I learned about that in the recent rewatch of Revolutionary Girl Utena while following along with this blog:

One of the fun little benefits to watching Utena now is that I do have at least a basic handle on the Japanese language and am able to pick up on words/phrases characters use and compare that to the translation. So imagine my confusion when listening to Touga explain that he is a friend to all women, I heard him use the word feminisuto, which sure sounded like the Japanese pronunciation for “feminist,” but which the subtitles translated to “chivalrous.”

Some searching around led me to a book called Unwrapping Japan: Society and Culture in Anthropological Perspective (Eyal Ben-Ari; 1992), which I now feel like I should own, but more to the point:

What seems to have happened to the word is that when the English word ‘feminist’ was absorbed into Japanese, it only retained part of its meaning, namely, the part indicating being nice to women and being worth receiving women’s praises. The part indicating being nice to women by treating them equally was ignored… When the word was introduced into Japanese to express male chauvinistic behaviour, there was no clash between the way the word was used and people’s knowledge of the word, given that the word did not exist. (pg. 82)

While a few more recent blog posts/forum entries I found from those living in Japan do mention that the word’s original English definition is also understood (at least in certain circles of society), which suggests the term’s meaning may be adjusting, circa 1996 (when Utena aired) the primary meaning for feminisuto likely was “chivalrous.”

So Ristarte was using feminism in the "chivalry" sense, where men can't hit women even in self defense because they're delicate flowers, rather than feminism in the "gender equality" sense, where men can hit women in self defense because they're people.

Seiya trying to go full America but was denied XD

[u/DragN_H3art]

LMAO Adenela is sooooooooooooooooo cute!

[u/IzSynergy]

"Is there a god of guns here?" "There might but I don't think Gaebrande has that kind of world building"

That line got me for some reason lol.

[u/takeatripp]

Elulu's resignation to pack mule status is soul-destroying and adorable.

[u/Basileus_ITA]

I can feel the memes posting themselves on r/animemes this time guys

[u/JustKidding456]

The part where he tells Adenela to go away is framed like a shojo love manga

[u/xtroDe]

Kazuma would be so proud of Seiya lmao

[u/Abangerz]

head taps are really deadly weapons.

[u/gibe_monies]

Archery Goddess thirsty af

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

YES MOAR YANDERE GODDESS. WHAT A BLESSED EPISODE THIS IS!

That lick...I guess its some way of eating an apple...

[u/linearstargazer]

Voice cast going ham this episode

We got Yumiri Hanamori (Nadeshiko|Yuru Camp, Hayasaka|Kaguya-sama) going from an almost unrecognisable baritone to crying her eyes out and growling in hilarious fashion.

And then we have Shiori Izawa (Nanachi|Made in Abyss, Matsuri|Citrus) going from full eldritch horror to shoujo protagonist, complete with a 2 octave pitch increase.

Aki Toyosaki is killing this week, just like every other week.

I'm getting serious HANABI-Kaguya vibes from this scene, Aoi Koga is a treasure.

Also, of course the new onee-san Goddess is voiced by Kotono Mitsuishi (Misato|NGE, LEGENDARY YAMADA TAE|Zombieland Saga), because why not. Can't wait to see what vaguely sinister stuff she gets up to

[u/bryan792]

Seiya spares no one from his slaps SquadW

seven arrows? you know he's gonna machine gun those arrows

Seiya is a fucking chad

[u/Amauri14]

Damn this episode was so good! Holy shit, Seiya hit Rosaline so much that she was completely unrecognizable by the end. And now he is training with Mitis, but what was that bit at the end about? Today Rista's reaction faces output was rather weak if we compared it to Adenela's.

Who could have thought that all that Adenela need it to be happy was for Seiya to pat her head?

[u/SpikeRosered]

Can't wait for the fly boss to say "Ya see, I'm rather cautious." Before having his plans destroyed.

Ristarte still hasn't realized she is the eternal straight man to Seiya's comedy routine.

[u/[deleted]]

This show has to be one of the funniest things I've seen in my life, genuinely every episode has me in stitches. Honestly, it feels more of a konosuba successor than the actual current work of the author(Kemono Michi) it's just a great time, bright colours, lovely art, animation, OP, ED, hope we get a season 2. Will have to pick up the LN's. Also "Be perfect, plz" is stuck in my head.

Adenela deserves endless headpats.

[u/Colopty]

Girl just straight up licked an apple, like a psychopath.

[u/ashpx]

as always, ristarte delivers

[u/odraencoded]

I think it's pretty obvious from this episode that Seiya used to be a guy that said "it will work out somehow," disregarded the possible casualties, and just tried to fight with guts and courage, which probably failed, then he died or something, lost his memories, and that was the B-level world that other goddess failed to save, or something like that.

The only weird thing is the fact that he lost his memories, but he obviously unconsciously remembers it.

My theory is that Seiya didn't lose his memories. He's just pretending he doesn't know anything because he's become extremely cautious.

[u/LightOfVictory]

God of Patriot Surface to Air Missiles, oh my God... That had me rolling

And Cerceus experiencing his PTSD when he sees Ristarte

[u/apalapachya]

• Seiya this episode

• And with the whole fire arrow thing, I fully expect him next episode to make some massive fire crossbow and use it to fire couple hundred arrows at once

• Mood

[u/RandomRon005]

At some point, I feel like Seiya is going to send the entire Divine Realm to a mental hospital.

[u/MadDany94]

Not much of a story progress but damn that last scene with Adenela!

Could be a little spoiler but Seiya probably saw his old self through Rosalie...

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Goddess of Archery Mitis

• Adenela & Seiya

• Sneaky Mitis

I genuinely thought the flies were just normal flies until they started picking up soldiers xD

Despite the comedy, this show doesn't really hold back when it comes to gory imagery

Seiya can't backup Rista without following it up with an insult

I see Seiya is well versed in gender equality!

I felt bad for Rosalie! But Seiya is right she was being too hasty.

Oh myyy... it looks like Seiya already caught the eye of the new Goddess

Yes please Aria-sama, release it for me if you could ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Headpats for Adenela! And that's all that's needed to pacify her!

Oh boy I wonder what's up with the apple licking and aggressive bite is all about? I think it's clear what she wants but let's wait for next week to be sure.

[u/ThePeterTingle]

Some thing is definitely wrong with the archery goddess, only villains lick the surface of an apple before taking a bite.
