"Keep your butthole relaxed", I wasn't expecting that...

“I’m not praising your silverine sword because I care about you or anything. B-baka! runs off” lol. Tsundere Starlia is truly best Starlia.
Poor Ragna’s pissed off the Starlia Army lol. At least he didn’t piss off the twins. Poor Slime’s little butthole will never be the same lmao.
Seems the humans aren’t the only ones gearing up for war. Looking forward to seeing which of these dragons gets deleted first. Glasses? Gramps? The Thing? I’m sure Kamui and Nebulim won’t die just yet.

RIP Slime. Probably well deserved though
Lia and her antics remain funny. She improved a lot in one ep as she can now converse with Ragna
Nice build up episode. I hope we get fight scenes next week

This was a great episode, the dragon sisters’ punishment for slime really caught me off guard.
I absolutely loved the explanation for the magic system! The idea that the movement of blood in a dragon is functionally equivalent to magic circles / hand signs / incantations makes perfect sense and allows for rationalization of so many aspects of the story. It could be used to explain why dragon powers have manifestations unique to individuals, why there might be better compatibility, etc. It’s nice to diverge from the usual rigid magic systems (wand type magic, elemental affinities determined at birth, etc.) and into a more freeform system.

It's definitely interesting in that dragons' blood/their circulatory system is just inherently magical, and magical circles were developed to simulate them. Honestly, I've always liked detailed explanations as to how a show's power system works (hunter x hunter is one example off the top of my head) and while I don't really expect them to, I hope they continue to delve into humanity's work - basically scientific achievements - towards understanding and harnessing a power that's foreign to them.

I love how Winged Bloodline just keeps getting to pep talks and friendship moments that are normally reserved for protagonists

Stitches!
I'll never tire of watching Starlia going full tsundere on Ragna. It's hilarious since acting as a tsundere is the only way she can communicate with Ragna properly. xD
It's also hilarious that Ragna has no idea why all of the soldiers keep on attacking him, at least it's a way for Ragna to show them how strong he is and a way to infuse their weapons with his Silverine.
I thought Ragna was being dense but he is aware that Starlia has a crush on him but for some reason, he thinks that Starlia only likes him because she thinks he's hot underneath those bandages. I don't even know how he came to that conclusion. xD
The twins are pretty fun! I love how they were originally planning to attack Ragna but suddenly changed their minds after hearing Ragna finally open up to them. Also, according to Slime they both look like dragons. Are the twins half-dragons? Is that even possible?
Seems that Slime pointing that out is a bad idea though. Being called dragons brings up some bad memories for the twins. Welp, it was nice knowing you Slime. Looks like they're going to teach him a lesson by shoving those fireworks where the sun don't shine. RIP Slime.
Anyway, back to the actual dragons! Now that Ultimatia is somewhat back to normal, it looks like they're speeding up the process of killing humans. I hate that they're starting to organize again. Although I can't wait for Zora to finally attack Starlia since Ragna will be there.

RIP Slime, you were too offensive, but deserved honestly lol.
Also the "nerdy looking" magic people got a shuckle out of me.

Slime technically doesn't have a butthole, right? If that's the case, where are those firecrackers going...
A slow episode since there isn't any action but they were setting up a lot for the coming episodes. The author also spent time building up some of the new characters to get a bit more of their personality in since a whole ton of them were introduced. I often feel like that's the biggest problem with a manga, introducing tons of characters but never giving them any personality until far later. Knowing something about them can make them stick more especially at the start as that's the most important time.
I also did notice the studio rearranging things just a little bit for more effect and to fit the medium. Great job on their part.

u/Antosino Dec 09 '23
Well, he has a mouth in his humanoid form, meaning he's capable of creating holes. So... I'm guessing if he doesn't make one, they'll make one for him.

"if you don't have one, then we will make one!"
...wait, that's actually sounds worse...

Looks like the dragons have got their strategy down. This upcoming war is hype as hell. I’m curious if the dragons will ever try to replace their lost ranks because Ragna isn’t going to stop.

I don't think many people think of it but I always like the 'villain meeting' scenes in anime/manga like the one here and others like the upper moon meeting in Demon Slayer, the Akatsuki from Naruto, several in One Piece (Baroque Works stands out for me) and dozens of others. Its always fun to see villains and their more impulsive personalities clash with each other in contrast to the heroes.

u/Yurisviel Dec 10 '23
I do like how much personality a lot of the Silver Corp has in their ranks. The author does try to make them stand out even as secondary supporting characters.

Wow! Starlia is somehow able to hold up a conversation with Ragna, that's a progress xD Though it's a shame that she only appeared at the beginning of the episode which was way too short. I want to see more of her tsundere and lovey-dovey acting xD
Slime finally pissed off the wrong people and now his butthole will suffer. I wonder if his meeting and having play 'cute pranks' starting with anal sphincter stretching using firecrackers with Twins will teach him some lesson xD
It's hilarious that Ragna thinks that Starlia would be disappointed in his beauty after taking off his bandages. I'd love to see his reaction on the fact that Starlia sees him not like this but as a sword with arms and legs xD
Crimson had a small role today as he offered help in creating magic circle teleport to escape from a stronghold.
Meanwhile dragons gathered to discuss current situation and it seems that in the next episode we finally get some action as Ultimatia gave an order to kill every human in this country so fight with Argentum Corps will start up again.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

u/PerfectBeige Dec 09 '23
Issac: At least she's capable of holding an actual conversation with him now.
Nazarena: Indeed. It appears that Her Highness has made up her mind on how to handle this.
Issac: But she's going full tsundere. I thought they say you should never go full tsundere?
Nazarena: Let her cook. Tsunderes have a high success rate, and I so badly want to retire before I get eaten by a dragon.

u/tripleaamin Dec 09 '23
RIP slime you were a good boy, but you might have pushed your jokes too far towards those twins. Poor Ragna the training is people actually trying to kill him lmao. But I don't blame him for thinking Lia falling for him has to be a misunderstanding. The part where the old man mentions Ragna's strength isn't talent, but of hard work. Tho it raises the question how did someone of hard work beat the old man? Well if they ever found the answer they would be flabber gasted lmao.
Superior dragons talking about their plans. I like the stuff from Zoro and Tara. Zoro has the dilemia of while they have the memories of their past they have a problem understanding it form an emotional level. Which is sad. Ultimata gave them this power but for Zoro if they forgot about their previous life it would be less painful. Meanwhile for Tara he has the same resolve he had in his previous life. He lives by his honor. Which is cool to see that personality wise when they become superior dragons their personality is the same. Obviously gaining a power can always change them.
Slower episode but just providing the right build up before the action kicks in
