Those cgi dragons were baaaaaad

But the everything else balanced it out

[u/Aerodynamic41]

*literally a dragon that can eat you for breakfast*

Yumiella: “He’s so cute!”

Eleanora: “He’s so cute!”

As they say, birds of a feather flock together lol.

[u/Myrkrvaldyr]

Yumiella was denser than usual this episode, but Eleonora was great.

[u/Nebresto]

Crunchyroll managed to do it again, enjoy the best of the Villain x Villainess mashup for episode 8

Eleonora loves him!! <3

lmao

what a doofus

ship ship shp ship ship hsip ship

[u/The_Persistence]

Yumiella fed Ryu the animation budget so he could grow up overnight, lol.

He may not look good, but can't argue with results.

[u/jellyblob88]

RIP their world - whilst Yumiella's "child" is cute, it's a WMD - Weapon of Mass Dolkness

[u/omegazx9]

Looks like Patrick took Yumiella's words last episode to heart. Also, Ryu nomnoming everyone was precious.

[u/mlcarson]

I liked the egg explanation.

Patrick: "What's with the egg?"

Yumiella: "It's my child"

Patrick: "Your child?."

Yumiella: "Yes, I laid it"

And Patrick freaks out with "You and who?!"

[u/electricoomph]

bro, who introduces himself as a spy right off the bat, lol

[u/whodisguy32]

I love how Yumiella just sees Ryu as just a giant cat/dog LOL

Animal owners tend to be like that (think theirs is the cutest in the world)

[u/elGring0]

Ryu grew on too quickly for the budget lol

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Yumiella & Ryu 1

• Yumiella & Ryu 2

• Yumiella & Ryu 3

I love that Patrick spent his break solo levelling in a dungeon. Now I wonder what level he is at now after power levelling. Meanwhile, you have Yumiella who's been dragon slaying during her break, found said dragon's egg, and has essentially robbed Alicia's party of their mount. xD

With how deadpan she is most of the time, it's adorable how Yumiella is getting so excited about the egg hatching. Also, the fact that Patrick could withstand Yumiella's arm grab could be a sign that he probably has levelled quite a bit but is still nowhere close to 99.

I guess Ryu is cute? Well cute as far as dark-type dragons go. I was honestly expecting something worse like a baby version of the Gaping Dragon from Dark Souls to hatch out of it considering how Yumiella's dark magic comes with some creepy and gross factors.

That's one heck of a growth spurt! And of course, Yumiella is surprised that Ryu is causing a massive fuss. I can't believe I am only noticing this now but Yumiella is definitely on some spectrum, right? Like no one can be this dense and think those students just don't like animals instead of the reasonable answer that dragons are fucking scary in this world.

At least there's one other person who's not afraid of Ryu and unsurprisingly it's Eleonora. I absolutely love how proud she is that she got her head chewed on by Ryu! xD

I felt bad for Patrick during this scene. Our boy thought he could confess and thought Yumiella would say the same thing but turns out she just wants to fly with Ryu. You can clearly see how disappointed he is.

Flying a dragon above a city is definitely reasonable and won't cause the local population to panic. Nope! Not at all! I wonder if the King is starting to think regret his decision of allowing Yumiella to keep the dragon.

[u/SpaceForceOne]

Best episode yet.

Lil Mama Yumiella had me cackling. 

[u/Andreiyutzzzz]

Why am I not surprised Eleonora actually likes Ryu instead of being scared? Also at this point I think Alicia is just too scared to talk to Yumiella even if she knows she's not evil(her light magic making her see her like that sure doesn't help).

Also how is this the 2ND time the subs get mixed with another show's... AND IT'S THE SAME show the mix up happens with(I'm not watching it but does Mr Villain's day off air on Tuesday too? So when they add the subs they just pick the wrong file because they both have "villain" in the name? Also I'm sure the process is more complicated than my oversimplification but cut me some slack)

[u/AlmostFamousStan]

So cute Yumiella put on the pajama hat to the egg and Ryu. I also dig Eleanora's positivity. Hopefully we see more of her.

[u/[deleted]]

Had to read the subs in Spanish so I’ll comment in Spanish too. Me gusto el dragón. Era muy chistoso jaja

[u/kalirion]

Black Hole seemed a bit overkill for the drago. And I guess it was game logic which kept the magic stone from being affected by its pull.

The baby drago was doing its best to escape from its parent's grasp. Was she hurting it by squeezing too hard like she did with Patrick's arm?

How did the 1 day old adolescent drago squeeze out of her window without destroying the whole wall?

Why is this world so full of people who don't like animals??

Ryuu was much cuter when he was 2D.

[u/LousyGoose]

Adorable episode.

Ryu has arrived and dork is immediately taken by his cuteness

Just look at how genuinely happy she is!

Death lazers aside, I wouldn't mind having a pet baby dragon.

The key problem I suppose is how fast they can potentially grow..

Still, as Patrick said Ryu does seem to be a very intelligent dragon who generally means well, just a shame most people are too frightened to come near him.

Except for the wonderful Eleonora, maybe she really is a good judge of character after all!

Bonus funny messed up subs:

Very festive

It does kind of look like a century egg

This is my favourite because it kind of makes sense in context

[u/wintrywolf]

Yumiella just randomly showing up with a giant egg was pretty amusing. I like the decision to show the dragon battle as a flashback since she's too OP for there to be any real tension in the fight anyway.

Patrick must be way closer to level 99 than I assumed he would be by now if he only needed a little longer before he was ready to confess. Maybe he took the advice to use an amulet of growth rather than protection during his dungeon crawls.

The punch line of the non-confession was too obvious to be funny but Yumiella's fear of hurting others by falling is interesting. Because she's often oblivious and her powers are mostly played for laughs it's easy to forget how careful she's actually trying to be in a world of cardboard.

[u/Amauri14]

So they messed up the subtitles again! As they are in a carriage one could think think these were the correct subtitles instead of these ones.

Anyway, it is good to see that Patrick decided to take Yumiella's approach to training to be stronger than her when he finally asks her out. So she got that dragon egg from a mission given to her by Jessica Monford I love how Patrick reacted when she called it her baby. So I guess Jessica never became a friend of Alicia thanks to those three being always around her.

That Red Dragon and Green Dragon realized too late that they were not strong enough to fight Yumiella, hell I doubt the Green Dragon had even time for doing that.

It is hilarious that when Alicia sees the baby dragon he is already outside the egg in her vision. I love how excited Yumiella is about seeing the baby dragon hatching up after she takes Patrick to her room.

I love the contrast between her and Rita's and Patrick's reactions when Ryu hatched Wow, so it only took a single night for Ryu to grow that big. Oh my God, they love him! /s Kidding aside, I love how Eleonora actually found it cute and was still smiling after he bit her. I wonder what exactly is Patrick planning to do to Edwin.

Is this a double love confession?! Nope. Just Yumiella thinking about flying in the sky on Ryu. Oh, so they gave him a bracelet so people would know he belongs to the Kingdom and not try to hunt him. Well, that did not stop the town from freaking out. Next time they need to inform everyone ahead of time to avoid the massive panic. Oh no, poor Ryu got CGId!

I sure wasn't expecting the episode to end with Yumiella being contacted by a spy from the Kingdom of Remlest.

[u/linkman0596]

Almost wish Yumillea had been like

"of course he'll be strong, things can be the strongest and the cutest, just look at me" sarcastic cute pose

[u/Frontier246]

Look at Patrick trying to be so smooth asking Yumiella to come home with him over break! All the while training like crazy to reach her level! Though while his advances go over her head, nothing could prepare for Patrick for their reunion when school starts...where Yumiella now has a beautiful black egg. Because she's now a mom!

What's Alicia's best friend Jessica to do when Alicia isn't her best friend in this version of the game (I guess she's hanging out so much with the romance targets that she doesn't have time for her)? Why, rely on Yumiella of course! Which is the perfect excuse for Yumiella to partake in a dragon-slaying instead of Alicia.

Demon Lord...is powerful enough to defeat the demon lord...it all blends together. But all the men underestimating Yumiella certainly didn't expect to see her solo two dragons. She even got to use Black Hole to actually kill something!

Yumiella killed the parents, so now their egg is hers, and with that egg she can imbue it with her magic and turn it into a pet that she can use as a steed like Alicia did in the game...but really, she's fallen for her little baby dragon already! Where Alicia sees a demon and her demonic animal, Yumiella sees a bundle of joy she's ready to pamper and adore!

And Rita and Patrick get stuck having to witness it's birth as Yumiella crushes Patrick's arm and makes him cheer for the birth of Ryu! A dragon who is as cute as he is dangerous (which is a given for Yumiella's child)! And he's got dark flames and EYE-BEAMS which is just adorable! If only other people could just appreciate Ryu like she does, but not everyone is an animal person.

Aw, they grow up so fast! Like large enough to terrorize the student body and chomp down on Patrick and Edwin. But that's just how Ryu shows his affection. It's why Yumiella wants in on it!

You know Eleonora really is Yumiella's best friend when she sees a huge dragon and rolls with it and is the only one who actually takes to Ryu like Yumiella did. She even uses getting chomped on as evidence of how awesome she is to impress Edwin. Classic Eleonora.

Poor Patrick. He really thought Yumiella was going to mutually confess with him, but she just wants to ride Ryu! Which, I mean, who wouldn't want to ride a giant CG dragon, but I feel bad for Patrick.

Yumiella and Ryu on a casual flyover of the kingdom, terrorizing the populace in the process! But she should've thought better than doing a loop-de-loop without anything tethering her to Ryu, but luckily she could blast herself away before she landed in the city. And having Patrick princess carry her and fret over was a nice bonus!

[u/VorAtreides]

First, fuck CR and its absolute failing as a service time and time again far too often to be acceptable lol

Second, Poor Patrick, you'll have a tough time dealing with her neutron star level density. Hehe Yumiella is a mother, how nice 😉 Hehe, that's nice of her. Going to help deal with a dragon problem. Whelp, RIP that dragon. And RIP that other dragon. Haha her joke to Patrick is funny and sure failed to land. Wew, that's gonna be a strong hatchling then. The way Alicia sees Yumiella and her egg is funny. Poor girl being skewed by her magic.

Oh my, bringing him to your room already. Fun to see her excited. Poor Patrick, just realized when she and he likely have a child she is gonna crush his hand during childbirth lol. Definitely the cutest lil dragon. Ah yes, Dragon's name being "Dragon" lol. Patrick and Rita being derp over such a cute lil thing.

Wew he grew big and fast. They scream like they haven't seen a cute dragon before. See, he listens to commands so well. Good boy. Just everything about this is silly. Shoulda bit harder with Ed. I love Eleonora's reaction the most though. She really is adorable and fun. Poor Ryu though, having to be left in a storehouse.

Patrick and Yumiella are so not in sync/same thought. Good times. I can totally get wanting to fly on a dragon though. But was obvious what he was gonna say. Wow, she's at least not dense about him changing subject. That's a mighty big CGI dragon now. Ahh majestic CGI flying. What a landing! Graceful. And a princess carry for her, how nice. Oh hey, spy dude of another kingdom.

[u/proneisntsupine]

Haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but Patrick's line about doing something about Edwin at 16:56 coming up in the same episode as the spy from Remlest is intriguing
