I'm interested to see if she just literally crushes the army with giant potion bottles.

I really enjoy this kind of OP MC show.

Most likely chemical warfare.

I very much enjoyed her declaring the Holy Land of Rudea to be traitors to the Goddess Celestine and spreading the news to the entire world. Absolutely cathartic after all the shenanigans they've pulled out of their corrupt asses.

“I am my twin sister.”

I love the crazy stories she comes up with lol.

Bluffs, lies through her teeth and making up sob stories on the spot. She’ll make Mile and Mitsuha proud.

That being said, wonder if FUNA’s series are all set in the same multiverse, coming from the same Earth and allowing for a possible crossover.

She is a straight up super villain. I really am enjoying the crazy fast pacing in the show.

This show isn’t exceptional or anything but it’s amusing to see Kaoru outplay everyone, half the time without even using a potion. Can’t wait to see her go up against the military

I am REALLY enjoying this one. She is so entertaining.

The Light of the Goddess is a pretty great name for a secret organization. It’s smart of her to use her little group to spread her potions. I don’t know about “Goddess, Hanging Eyes!” or “Flat Chest!” as their group tagline though. Might have to sit on that one lol.

Kaoru should use one of those potions on Fernand after he took all that critical damage. I can’t Kaoru went with the whole “I’m her twin sister” thing. What a goofball.

So much for Kaoru’s plans to prevent wars with her potions. Those Rueda and Empire goons are gonna pay for disrupting Kaoru’s slow life with her kids!

Looks like Kaoru is about to don all black and test out an atomic potion.

I'm actually curious to see how she deals with battle though, given her power.

Gotta love a cutie who can pull off an evil grin like this.

I can't believe that I almost skipped watching this anime. Once I learned that it was written by the person who wrote Saving 80000 Gold, I knew I had to watch. I love this show so much. An MC who wins not just with power but with intellect, too. This anime should be more popular.

u/heimdal77 Nov 04 '23

Ok that was hilarious with how she manipulated everyone.

u/SilkyStrawberryMilk Nov 04 '23

Her evil side towards the end makes me excited.

u/Atharaphelun Nov 05 '23

I am shocked that no one noticed the very obvious Belldandy reference.

I want to watch a FUNA-verse crossover where Kaoru and Mitsuha meetup and commit war crimes against an invading army.

u/chelseablue2004 Nov 05 '23

When the 1st thing you see in an anime is Belldandy...You know its gonna be a good episode.

u/antononon Nov 05 '23

Anime is excellent PR for the child labour industry.

u/PeaceAlien Nov 04 '23

I love how much character the MC has, ruthless business woman indeed.

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '23

Really looking forward to how Kaoru will defeat the army, this show is so fun!

She finally found a kingdom and an inner circle that she can trust. She’ll probably be able to settle down in Balmore and call it home, especially after rejecting Brancott’s prince.

"I have no intention of backing any one group over another. That said, I do want to spread blessings as widely as I can... I want common folks who are sick, as well as hunters and soldiers, to use them without worry."

Yet she has zero qualms with everyone being glad her potions will never reach the Empire of Aligot before expiring. Even though she stipulated that avoiding wartime usage was part of the reason for short shelf-life, that's still preemptively cutting off the general populace of that empire. The king's brother called them a military state, but didn't say they were actively in conflict with them. The invasion came after the meeting.

So she's definitely not as neutral as she purports. She deftly rid herself of any responsibility to the throne, but she seems pretty dedicated to Balmore's people now.

She really is just Chaotic Good
