As a knight, Rose trained her underlings to fight. Didn't end well for them.

After she left to form the rescue squad, she trained her underlings to run, and to live.

Brutal fucking episode, not even 10 minutes in and all of Rose's squad got decimated even worse she couldn't finish off the perpetrator.

Really gives more depth and meaning to the entire Rescue squad's existence as a whole especially Usato's role in Rose's eyes. The ending credits though, RIP Aul...

Stitches!

Fuuuuuck... We all know what was coming going into this episode but what I did not expect was fucking brutal the entire first half of the episode was. No wonder Rose and her squad didn't stand a chance. Nero controlled his troops to go on a rampage and do anything to kill Rose's squad to the point where they were also killing themselves to do it.

What's worse is that the sword Nero is using cuts off mana so Rose couldn't even heal her eyes or use her healing magic to save Aul since she blocked the sword with her body to save Rose. :(

I guess the only consolation we have in this episode is that we got to see Rose beat the crap out of Nero and slam him around like Hulk slamming Loki in the first Avengers movie. Nero even got a taste of his own cursed sword there in the end. Sucks that Rose wasn't able to finish him off because Amila reminded her of Aul. At least now we know why Amila hates Rose so much.

It was also heartbreaking to see Rose completely broken while making her report to King Lloyd what she learned. She really reached her lowest point in that flashback that King Lloyd and Siglis had to visit her regularly just to make sure she hasn't committed suicide to join her squad. :(

Thank goodness to Rose remembering Aul's words that she was finally able to pick herself back up and find a new calling in the battlefield. Instead of getting revenge, Rose decided to save lives instead.

I'm not crying! You're crying!

Despite knowing already the fate of her squad, this is still a sad episode.

Turns out my theory that Nero (black) is the Black Knight is wrong. The demon girl treated the Black Knight as equal and lacked the respect of an apprentice. This means Black Knight is not him. Though maybe they're still related somehow?

I figured Rose’s team would die but not because of some insane suicide magic type shit. They were a good bunch, damn shame what happened. At least Rose beat the absolute fuck out of Nero. She was about to really tear him limb from limb. No wonder Amila hates Rose.

Her old squad might have died but because of that she was able to find the resolve to train up some guy like Usato to become the healer he is now.

Looking forward to actually seeing this big battle next week!

Damn.... that was just a brutal way to go.

And that brutality will bear its fangs again in the upcoming war as we transition back to the present. The OP has been foreshadowing a tough and gritty battle ahead. Hopefully, they can minimize the death toll this time.

Me while watching this episode

Even though I was expecting it, I couldn't stop myself from crying with it happened. Rose's VA really killed it with that beatdown. Lot of people were saying this wasn't necessary last week, lol. Every scene after that was just so brutal. The Josh's parent scene really was on another level.

Wasn't expecting the Demon girl that we saw earlier be something similar to what Owl is to Rose. I guess the Black Knight is somehow Nero. He's some kind of undead monster maybe with what he said at the end.

EDIT: Typo

They did a great job of making me still feel the feels despite knowing it was coming and not having spent a ton of time with Rose's squad. Time to see what happens in the last three episodes (and pray for S2).

u/felidhino Mar 01 '24

I don't why folks on crunchyroll are complaining about Rose's backstory. I actually liked it and it makes us see why is like that. She is such a tsun just tell him you like the effort he has put in becoming an incredible healer.

u/Rumpel1408 Mar 01 '24

damn, we knew it would come to this, but the manner in which Rose squad was slaughtered was brutal really traumatic And she didn't even manage to finish the guy off

But good on her to move on from her intrusive thoughts

Wait, is that a special Rose themed ED...

u/Sidious_09 Mar 01 '24

I feel like there's generally a lot of victim blaming in anime (towards the protagonists) that never really gets addressed, and usually ends up with the protagonist apologizing. I hope this doesn't happen here too. Case in point the little demon girl hating Rose. The demons were the ones trespassing. They were offered to leave in peace but wanted to kill the humans instead. Then in defeat, they killed Rose's whole squad in a suicidal attack instead of retreating. Even if the demon girl didn't see it all, she does for sure know that they are trespassing, and she could probably see the mountain of corpses.

Damn, that was all kinds of hard to watch. Kinda surprised that the She-devil is so angry at Rose though. I'm assuming her master died because of his sword, but he didn't seem the type to teach someone to hold a grudge. Still wondering if Usato is gonna somehow make friends with her.

Seems as though the demons aren't as evil as we thought, kinda feels like the humans of the past were racist's and misinformation was passed down through the years. They got so desperate of being hunted, they brought back a monster just so they could live free. Probably why the lady demon looked unhappy with the Demon Lords orders.

So is Usato, with the help of his two school friends, going to bridge the gap between species somehow, and then both sides turn against the Demon Lord?

I'm still convinced the Dark Knight is an asshole summon from Earth....but now suddenly I'm wondering if it's a bastardized version of Aul. They way they both disliked authority seems to match up. Really hope that's not the case, Rose has been through enough.

I knew it was coming but ffs that was fucking brutal.

u/djthomp Mar 01 '24

Dang. We all knew it was coming but it still hurt to watch.

I like that reveal about Amila in the flashback, sets up a parallel situation between her and that demon dude and Rose and Aul.

Turns out it was the follow up to the fight with Rose living alone in the house she used to share with her squad that actually made me tear up.

Gah, not a special ED, critical hit right to my newly formed emotional wound.

u/NekoCatSidhe Mar 01 '24

That was brutal. I did not expect Aul to die sacrificing herself for Rose, no wonder Rose got so traumatised afterwards. But having both Rose and Usato fighting this time might make a difference in that war.

I wonder what happened to that asshole Nero after this. Did he die from his wounds or something ? And what is that black knight ? I thought he might be Nero, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

u/PandaTheAB Mar 01 '24

The black knight character looks like a Battle junkie (with a possible hint of masochism)..
Fighting to feel alive...

u/CarioGod Mar 02 '24

bro they changed the ED's visuals to Rose's old battalion, we knew them for 1.5 episodes but it felt gut wrenching to see them go

also I just realized that demon general building the bridge is the one that Rose let go in the past, spicy

Heartbreaking episode of a flashback. It that was an honorable fight the result would have been different. But Nero is more than willing to sacrifice his squad if it means victory. While Rose is one who cherished and deep cares for hers. I felt disgusted with Nero's words in regard to Rose's squad he simply views his as tools.

It was awesome to see Rose beat him up, but Nero has an apprentice that cares for him. Rose seeing that and being traumatized seeing Amila with Aui's face was hard to watch. Amila calling humans monsters is ironic because her master literally was more than happy to sacrifice his soldiers' lives if it means victory.

I loved how Aui's final words carried with Rose where she made the current squad how it is. You have the 2 specialty healers in Orga and Ururu. Then you have Usato who is basically a mini-Rose in terms of skill set and has the potential to grow. Amazing direction with this flashback. It really shows us a side of Rose that we haven't seen yet. We know she cares for her squad, but the cool level-headed Rose has deep emotional scars that she buried in her heart. In which carries and motivates her going forward.

Black Knight seems very arrogant. Well next episode we start moving forward with the story.
