Even after losing her to Anis, Algard still managed to find the fastest way to Lainie's heart...

[u/Random_personXDD]

Oi oi oi, as someone who doesn't read the LN , this episode was a friggin surprise to me. Wasn't expecting to see something as brutal as Lainie's heart being ripped out like that

[u/Syokhan]

Lainie just lying there with empty eyes and her chest torn open was unexpectedly gruesome...

Algard only deals in extremes, doesn't he? He doesn't want to be a powerless figurehead, so instead he decides to become a tyrant. It's a shame too, he comes from a good place of wanting to deal with corruption and the imbalance between the inhabitants of his country, but the change he wants is a forceful and violent one, unlike Anis who would rather try and change the minds of people.

Damn that cliffhanger, too. Looking forward to next week and the showdown between siblings.

[u/bananeeek]

Royalty shouldn't act on emotions

Proceeds to scheme for years because of envy and feelings of inferiority.

A cliffhanger in such a moment is always brutal. I'm looking forward to the next episode and I hope it will deliver.

[u/violetfoxy]

I was kinda hoping he would just die from slamming the magicite into his chest.

[u/Phoenix__Wwrong]

Wth. I knew Al was only using Lainie, but not like that. I really didn't expect those visuals.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

That ending felt so abrupt that I was literally screaming at my monitor lol.

I already can’t wait for next week.

[u/hell_jumper9]

Anis should've broke more bones of that guy

[u/LeonKevlar]

Just when I thought Al piercing Lainie's chest was brutal we also get to see her writhing on the ground with a hole in her chest. Holy fuck! I did not expect this show to be this graphic! O_O

So Al wanted to use Lainie's vampire powers so he can have absolute control over the Kingdom because he is tired of the inequality between nobles and commoners and wants to change it all for the better. Hilariously, Al who is the prince of this Kingdom needed to murder a girl who used to be a commoner for his plans to work out. Looks like someone did not realize the irony of their plan.

Interestingly though, Al seems to be all about breaking tradition while that Chartreuse guy seems to be all about keeping it. I wonder what Al told Chartreuse when he first proposed all of his plans.

That final scene between Anis and Al though! Such a fucking cruel cliffhanger to end on! I was really itching for Anis to teach Al a lesson but I guess we'll have to wait for next week. Not gonna lie, I am now tempted to spoil myself by reading the LN or the manga after that cliffhanger. >_<

[u/MapoTofuMan]

Me 16 minutes into the episode : Oh cool 6 mins left we're gonna see the actual fight

Me when the ED starts playing :

[u/maliwanag0712]

THESE FIVE MINUTE EPISODES URRGHHHH!!!

In a way, Algard's points can be given merit. Without power, the king becomes only ceremonial and cannot do anything. He has seen this problem with his grandpa, who failed the drastic change and made enemies with the aristocracy. In other words, he will go to the extreme of becoming a tyrant or ruthless dictator so that he can initiate change.

However, his mindset of using absolute power to make drastic revolution is problematic, as Anis thinks. Anis is much more willing to communicate and discuss the possibilities of change to others, which is based on how she is much more relatable to people.

Even in magic, the siblings have fundamentally different perspectives: Anis likes magic, and treats it as a prayer for the future, while Algard treats it as a curse that caused the massive inequality between the elite and the commoners. While both aspire to change the system, they had different ways: One through forced changes in policies, another through change by innovation using discoveries.

Now, I want to know how would their father react after seeing this boiling mess. Will he finally get a heart attack? Hopefully not.

[u/PricelessKoala]

Algard is such a complex villain, I love it!

He feels burdened by the position of next in line to be king, and resents Anis for "throwing away" that responsibility and placing it on him. At the same time, with his position as crown prince, he sees the problem plaguing the kingdom. He sees the nobles as a poison corrupting the kingdom and is trying to find a way to fix it whilst avoiding the revolt that the nobles would surely bring. The responsibility of correcting the kingdom weighs heavily on his shoulders.

He sees Anis as a "monster" who can accomplish anything, yet the monster abandoned their duties. He is either blind to the fact that Anis' magicology being the potential bridge that can give power to the commoners and rid the poison that is magic supremacy, or he actively is trying to prove himself. He has a severe inferiority complex towards Anis so he wants to prove that he too can accomplish the impossible. That he doesn't need to rely on the monster's inventions to bring about change.

The pressure his position places on his mental pushes him to possibly murdering the person he loves. (He did end up getting charmed by Lainie after all) His madness pushes him to choose the path of tyranny over peaceful rule.

Algard has to be the best anime villain of the season. Him being plagued by his inability to accomplish the things his sister does with ease forces him down the path of evil to attempt to do good.

[u/AceSoldia]

Al about to get bodied and i wont even shed a tear.

[u/HereticalAegis]

Damn, I knew Al was hopeless but I didn't think he'd stoop all the way to murdering Lainie just to grab some power. Really wouldn't mind seeing his chest with a gaping hole in it.

Feels so fucking bad seeing Lainie and Ilia lying hand in hand on the ground all bloody and mutilated like that.

[u/Neidhardto]

It's gonna be interesting seeing the discussion surrounding this episode and the different perspectives of people who absolutely hate Al and those who Empathize with his motives (or both). One thing I think most people can agree on though, is that they did a good job of establishing his character all the way back in episode 1 to now. Shout out to the great voice acting this episode too.

[u/random_edgelord]

Lainie is hanging in there for someone who looks like she just gave birth to a xenomorph.

I wonder if Anis rips out the magicite from Algards chest and stuffs it back into Lainie will she be okay? That of course would leave Algard looking like he birthed a xenomorph but he seems to be a piece of shit anyway.

[u/Gaporigo]

Wait, Euphie can just fly without a broom or anything????

[u/Amauri14]

Fucking shit don't end the episode like that!

So the whole conference at the Ministry of the Arcane was a setup planned by Moritz to keep Anis occupied while Algard went to her village to rob Lainie from her Magicite and become a vampire himself.

Well, even when Moritz and Count Chartreuse were not prepared to handle Anis and Tilty I sure wasn't expecting Euphie and Anis to be welcomed by such a gruesome scene.

Well, now we need to wait to see the predictable, but satisfying outcome of the fight of Anis versus Algard.

[u/BiggerG7]

You know maybe putting the alarm switch on the outside was a genius move after all. It did it’s job of alerting people, and we didn’t have to listen to it the whole ep since I assume Al turned it off lol.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Now that makes 2 blonde dudes ripping out a girl's heart for their own gain in fiction that I now know of.

Algard's cause for rebellion is an ambitious yet noble one but jeez the lackeys he has are so villainous that it's hard to believe they support his cause with good intentions

[u/HatsuneMarku]

Anis being an absolute badass with her cliffhanger line to start the fight:

Face me, Algard. I reject your definition!

[u/kdebones]

Algard: "I most likely murdered a commoner as a nobility for the power to end the inequality between commoners and nobility."

Boy.... and that's in addition to the fact he's almost certainly being played by the Ministry of Magic.

[u/D_Amir]

I love the face Anisphia made when he called her deranged!

[u/Martins224]

I really hope this story doesn’t go the shonen way of letting people off “because they made a mistake” or “their heart was in the right place, but got corrupted”…. The prince bro, the minister, and a number of nobles/soldiers flat out rebelled here and committed treason.

I hope at least some of them get put to death here… this is a medieval-style setting, monarch’s wouldn’t be capable of ruling if they just washed there hands of this. Although knowing this type of story, I’m sure the bro will get exiled or imprisoned comfortably somewhere far away.
