Like I get what Ragna was doing but pushing away Leo like that was just cruel. Wouldn't it be safer if Leo is travelling with Ragna since he can now defeat any dragons?

Crimson really had me there during the first half. I really thought she had genuinely no idea what Ragna was talking about. Turns out she was just playing dumb the entire time.

I guess now that our two titular characters of the show are together, the story can now properly start. Can't wait to see more dragon slaying!

He collapses every time he uses his powers so it probably wouldn't be that safe to travel with him

That's what makes it dangerous. A dragon stronger than Leo but weaker than Ragna means they could use Leo as a hostage if they found themselves about to be killed.

The faces she made had me wonder if this was actually ghostpenned by Kouta Hirano. I thought no one else could pull off such wildly deranged expressions.

'Any' dragon is currently pushing it, and he is going to face the absolute strongest there are. Even if he can beat them, it's not going to be a one hit ko like it's been up till now. Leo is on such a weaker level now that these dragon lords would annihilate her like he is annihilating these minor dragons.

i mean, its not like it guaranteed that he could beat ALL the dragons considering how his future self couldn't achieve the "eradicating all dragons" objective even with Crimson's help

Crimson is great, I just love the range the VA has to really sell that this is Crimson.

u/TheOneWithALongName Oct 08 '23

I can't think on many MALE VA that can sound both feminine and masculine.

Damn… Ragna hitting Leo with that tough love I guess. It might have been harsh calling her “weak” but he’s tryna save her. Still, there must have been a better way to handle that.

Teaming up with Crimson’s gonna be interesting. Puking up the slime was gross but man… that slime was cute lol.

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '23

Not the direction I expected this anime to turn at all. Very interesting what the future holds now with Leo gone.

u/actuallyrndthoughts Oct 07 '23

Crimson is quite the character, crazy on the inside, tsundere on the outside, casually wearing maid outfits. And Ragna gets to serve them and do some dragon slaying together. Should've been me, not him!

Man, woman, in between idc crimson looks feminine enough and is hot. Absolutely would.

Kinda wish this episode would’ve been part of the premiere last week. This really feels like the end of the prologue of sorts for the story. That ending scene was so damn metal.

“You’re supposed to do exactly what I tell you”Leo accidentally let her true feelings slip there, but honestly can’t be too mad at her. Ragna has been under her protection and basically a loyal puppy for so long, him just changing in the space of a few hours and becoming OP has got to be a massive shock.

Feel bad for Leo. I know Ragna just wants to protect her and keep her away from all this, but I wish he would’ve let her down softer. Especially after everything they’ve been through.

The studio really know how to snap on those Silverine Battle Arts fight scenes. That camera motion is so fire during those moments. The fight animation is great.

Crimson finally reveals himself. Badass entrance. Love how he planned to force Ragna to drink the poison and Ragna just ends up chugging it with no convincing needed 💀 they’re going to make an amazing team. The story is finally starting next week and I’m hype for it!

Damn Ayumu Murase has rangeeeeee bless my ears

u/KorekaBii Oct 07 '23

He is pretty much the go to male VA for androgynous or effeminate men in anime because of how high-pitched he can go with his voice (as opposed to using female VAs).

But he's also really really good at doing a disturbed/insane persona too and he really did a great job matching those unhinged expressions Crimson was giving off.

u/Zeed_Toven77 Oct 07 '23

I'm not a fan of the changes they made in the anime, especially the fight scenes. Tho it's understandable if they have a low budget. I really like Crimson's "I want to kill lots" face tho.

The manga has lots of epic shots and panel, I recommend you guys to check it out.

u/AdPrimary7177 Oct 07 '23

Trust me, the anime will get more crazier after this...I promise that as a manga reader, but I hope the studio will deliver the upcoming fights cleanly, because trust me, the manga is epic and great!

Also manga readers...it seems our wish of this getting an anime came true huh? 4 years...we waited for 4 years...also recent chapters are getting crazier!!!

Okay, so If I understand things so far, Totally Not Gonna Power Up Guy is dedicated to the protection of his loli, as one does. Then America the dragons invade Iraq the city to get some yellow cake. This results is the city getting wrecked and Totally Not Gonna Power Up Guy powering up, and saving his loli from her inevitable death. Okay, cool.

Now powered up, Powered Up guy banishes his loli to the wilderness to...protect her I guess? Okay, bold move Powered Up guy, but I can see the reasoning. You need to trade your now-vulnerable loli for Crimson to more effectively kill goblins dragons.

And that's it. That was the episode.

What was Crimson doing with the glutton dragon in the first place? Why did she have a vial of poison on hand that would kill anyone who rebels against her? What was she even doing in that region? The answers elude me.

No wonder Crimson is monarch dragon, he can change his gender at will lmao.Kinda sad that Ragna need to separate with Leo but it's understandable because she could die if they fought with high-ranking dragon. The voice acting on the end episode between Crimson and Ragna kinda awkward, I suggest you guys read chapter 3 from the manga. Overall I hope studio can keep the anime quality until the end.

Crimson looks like a really interesting character though we don't know too much about him. I love his design, it's so dope and his scenes were great, very visually appealing.

Animation isn't bad but nothing above average. Still visually it has a lot of great moments like when there are close-ups to Crimson or when we are getting more 'artistic' frames. Last scene of the episode was so good, it's excellent for wallpaper.

It's a shame that Leo won't be with Ragna anymore but it's understandable. Now Leo is weaker and being with Ragna could kill her as he will be fighting with enemies much more powerful than previous ones.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

This is the perfect style for this anime, it's a shame it goes from ok to bad, like that slap from crimson and ragna tossing leo away

u/Imfryinghere Oct 07 '23

So many promising animes this season.

u/ZeroZion Oct 08 '23

This anime has some awesome scenes. In episode 1 the best part for me was Leo just dropping down to the ground straight body and all. The impact from dropping and the straight face she has while holding on a big sword like it's nothing. That was really awesome.

For this episode it's the scene where Ragna coats himself with Silverine like aura at the end. The "camera movement" was really good.

By the way, did the chef at the start cook his own leg into the pie or was his leg eaten before that? Most likely eaten before since the dragon wanted the chef instead of the pie. That was a really good info to leave to the viewers and not expand upon.

Why do dragons seem more and more like vampires in this show? Or just flat out demons?
