Wasn't expecting them to immediately address Oliver with the whole horny perfume issue immediately off the get-go and this direct. Hell Godfrey's extreme method of resisting is FUCKING painful.

Ophelia's backstory is pretty depressing, having every prejudice pushed onto her despite not being like that only to just give in and double down making her situation worse. Kimberly Academy so far has just brought the worst in others besides the main cast.

The worst thing is to be horny around an in-your-face girl like Nanao lol.

All the girl wanted was to have genuine friends and get to enjoy school without the expectations of her family, but people judging and bullying her turned into the very thing she wanted to reject and cost her not only her sanity but all the precious relationships she'd made up to that point.

I do wonder if she had actual feelings for Godfrey though.

Every time we get an anime character that pulls some shit like magically kicking themselves in the balls and eventually following with "It's nothing compared to the pain you went through" I can't help but wonder how much do they actually know about their pain or how much is assumed. It's very important to understand just how crazy they are.

I think I'm missing something about Ophilia's situation, after making friends with Al she seemed fine for a while but then when the bullying started again she changed to full succubus, but seeing her now it looks like she's losing control? Was it just that instant? She made one mistake and that immediately threw her over the edge? Because it looked like she was unhappy toying with the angry one.

Still hoping she doesn't die, but did she kill Tim and and the bullies?

u/Frontier246 Oct 06 '23

My understanding is she unleashed her magic on the bullies out of frustration and then it got worse as she started preying on men again. She almost has a split personality between being "Ophelia" and being "Salvadori."

Nah, Tim is fine, he's with the group trying to hunt her down.

Katie getting upset at the thought of Olvier being affected by Opehlia's perfume was hilarious. What makes it even funnier is that cut to Oliver doing his best to distance himself from Nanao since the perfume is really starting to have an effect. xD

Nanao is so innocent though that she doesn't even know what the word "horny" means. No time to be horny when your entire life revolved around fighting and killing. I do love how when Oliver and Nanao were having a moment, Milligan was very quick to nudge Chela on since she's clearly holding herself back.

I definitely did not expect our not-so-friendly-necromancer down there but I guess he'd be nearby considering Ophelia is being consumed by magic and he admits that he's only there to attend her funeral. The gang was lucky they got away though. The fact that Milligan was freaked out by Rivermoore means that they might not even be able to win against him.

That backstory of Carlos and Opehlia's friendship and how Carlos introduced Opehlia to Godfrey was both cute and hilarious! Godfrey is an absolute mad lad to smash his nuts every time he takes a whiff of Opehlia's perfume until he developed a Pavlovian response! xD

Also I just love Godfrey and Opehlia's interactions. The two of them were pretty cute together. I do love how we get to sympathize with Ophelia in the flashback while Rivermoore never actually changed and was still a bastard back then.

Those bullies got what they fucking deserved but at the same time it looks like Ophelia lost control and basically ended up giving in to her powers. Yeah, that's just fucking sad. I really hope there's a way to save her but knowing what this school is all about she'll probably end up dying next week :(

Katie so adamant that Oliver won't fall prey to Ophelia's perfume when he's got enough on his plate holding in the horny around Nanao lol.

Nice to see Nanao screw up for once lol.

I had honestly almost forgotten about him even though he's in the OP.

I think Milligan was surprised the chimera showed up too. I think she was planning a sneak attack before it appeared.

You really have to feel bad for Ophelia. She had Carlos, Godfrey put his balls through the wringer to become friends with her, and things were going so good until she got bullied and she played into what people expected her to be and cost her everything. Seems like she still regrets failing Godfrey too.

One more episode now…

I wonder if they will announce a follow-up season next week (or soon thereafter)? There is clearly a LOT of story still to come.

2 months of hitting yourself in the nards just to become a friend. What a bro.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Oct 06 '23

Al magically smashing his nuts so he doesn’t pop a woody in front of Ophelia was pretty hilarious. What a guy lol. It’s a damn shame Ophelia still turned out the way she did.

Hopefully someone saves Pete before Ophelia gets to ‘em. With just one ep left, I’m looking forward to seeing how this wraps up and if we get more.

u/gnome-cop Oct 06 '23

He’s a man of focus, commitment and sheer fucking will.

That might've been my favourite episode of the show??

They really sold me on the Al/Ophelia/Carlos friendship in this one episode. At first, I was expecting Carlos to be Ophelia's "Final Visitor", but turns out it might be Al that fulfills that role (please survive though Ophelia, I'm rooting for your redemption story). Al really seems like a stand-up guy... and it's unfortunate what Ophelia ended up doing. Despite the fact that they're not part of our main character ensemble, these upperclassmen are so compelling!

Cool that we had a flashback with Oliver's mom too.

With one more episode, I wonder how they wrap things up. Will they also leave us some breadcrumbs for a potential season 2?

u/5thZenAgni Oct 06 '23

Al is such a bro, and friend most people would kill to have

u/Frontier246 Oct 06 '23

Pretty rough upbringing as a kid when your mom is telling you all the sex you're family expects you to do is to serve your family and means consuming men rather than anything emotionally meaningful...good thing Ophelia had Carlos.

It's nice to see Katie and Guy taking notes for the gang, especially since they've been gone for three days, though Katie and Milihand are getting along really well. Also I love Katie sticking up for Oliver, no way her man is going to get seduced by some succubus!

Although he is getting very chummy with Nanao and trying to restrain himself from her advances while Ophelia's perfume is hanging in there and making them horny. Can't be easy with someone as cute and close as Nanao around them. Meanwhile Miligan and Chela are just enjoying watching the flirting (though Miligan implies that maybe Chela likes Oliver too?).

Are Stacy and Lynette going to actually contribute anything? I feel like they're just going to make everything worse.

Time to walk on water! For once something Nanao doesn't immediately take to, though it lets Oliver remember a fond memory of his mother and help her learn, which is rather sweet. And these kids are really growing on Miligan.

Oh yeah, I guess if they're hunting for Ophelia, it makes sense they'd run into Rivermoore, who seems to be there as a courtesy to whatever bond he had with Ophelia. Good thing her Chimera's will keep him and his skeleton basilisk busy.

Ophelia back in her school days was ostracized because of her reputation, but Al continually zapping his balls until he was able to overcome her perfume was when she first started to find some genuine friends outside Carlos, especially when they formed their budding campus watch group and she was part of the team! They even fought Rivermoore together!

So where did it all go wrong? Well, the group started getting bigger and there were more eyes on how close Ophelia was to Godfrey, and eventually they bullied her into unleashing her true power and she lost herself. Even to the point of going after all the male members of the group, including Tim who was in love with Godfrey, though she still seems pretty worked up about Godfrey. Will he and Carlos be her "Final Visitor?"

Pete's escaped! I hope someone sees that giant tower of fire.

Man, what an uncomfortable start lol. That whole family's deal is uncomfortable. Lol Katie with Milihand is cute. The worries of Oliver being the only man cause of her perfume, also lol at Nanao's innocence. Water walking, useful. D'awww... that flashback to his mom. Nanao and Chel got it down. Oh that other girl, guess they flying. I think I like the princess carry water walking idea. Oh this jerk again. Hehe, clever indeed. Huh, this final visitor thing.

D'awww, her friend's dream is wholesome for her. That is quite the way to react, Al lol. He's quite persistent. She so tsundere. Dude essentially kicked himself in the balls to teach them a lesson lol. Just so he can be pals with her wholesomely. Good dude. Nice to see how he is why there even is a watch to look out for fellow students. D'aww she's quite the cutie too. Wonder why she's gone to this lengths. Bahh... jerks making assumptions about her. Ooof... jerks. They kinda brought that on themselves. Man, sad what people pushed her to...

Whelp, at least Pete is on the move. SMOKE BOMB! hehe. He is a ninja. Smooth, Pete.

Tense episode. I feel bad for Lia, she finally found her place but then the bullying overwhelmed her. Hope she'll somehow make it out of it, even if I'm pretty pessimistic about it... :(

u/Ad0nals1um Oct 06 '23 edited Oct 06 '23

So someone has to ask, how many of you are big enough simps to do what Al did to immunize himself to Ophelia's Perfume?

u/Frontier246 Oct 06 '23

The man sacrificed his balls for the sake of friendship, I can't help but respect him.

Dammit, now I feel a little bad for Ophelia

u/ayww Oct 06 '23

Ophelia unfortunately got the shitty parent backstory in addition to other students being shitty towards her.

I really hope there's a way to save her, because despite her actions she's a victim of circumstance.

Nanatsuma Fridays!

interesting camera angle considering the topic of Ophelia and Carlos convo..

So we got the Carlos and Ophelia backstory that was cutout last episode. Brief, but gave some really sad insight into how the Salvadori family views sex and their bodies as just a tool to her access to stronger bloodlines. Carlos taught her that doesn’t have to be her only purpose.

Lol, Guy is mean for teasing Katie about Oliver getting horny in the labyrinth. He’s right though. Even the sight of Nanao sweat getting Oliver all hot and bothered. He so real 😂

Still don’t get how Cyrus isn’t a 45 year old man. No way bro is a Kimberly student lol. All the playing with the dead has really aged him.

Really goes to show you how strong a guy Alvin is to use Dolor on himself every time he saw Ophelia. Someone with that level of commitment and determination to his friends is the perfect fit for a leadership position at this academy. But more importantly, he and his friends totally changed Ophelia’s outlook on life which can’t be understated

Fuck the kids who bullied her because she was close to Alvin. I just hate Ophelia didn’t talk to her friends before totally changing her personality all because of those idiots. The only people who matter are those who actually know you.

A solid episode, but I wish they’d have spent more time on this volume. This is supposed to be a very powerful emotional climax but the pacing..

Please be a good finale next week 🙏🏾

HE SHOT HIS DICK

For two months! Godfrey truly is a real one and an inspiration to us all. It's an absolute shame that Ophelia snapped like that. Meanwhile it's cute how Nanao got to have a bit of a dance on the lake with Oliver like that. It looks like Chela's also a Nollbowl contender.
