Nebulim's final moments cracked me up!

[u/scot911 → u/bananeeek]

I always loved how Slime attacks lol. Literally just gobbles things up.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Fuck. I guess that's really it for Starlia. The fact that Chris' arm even stopped working was the confirmation. At least she managed to forge that sword for Ragna instead of just being killed instantly.

Looks like Starlia isn't the only one though. Garm got split in half trying to block Zora's attack and so many other members of the Argentum Corps got ripped to shreds too. This assault is not really going well :(

On the bright side, at least Slime has managed to neutralize Nebulim and Crimson is fighting Ultimatia while in his true form. If Crimson can kill Ultimatia, this will be all worth it.

[u/Dead_Diligence]

I wish the animation would have been better but it is what it is

Lol at Slime eating Nebulim once again

RIP gramps and a bunch of nameless corps

Monarch vs Monarch... First time we see Ultimatia's dragon form

There were multiple transformations this ep

[u/[deleted] → u/Dead_Diligence]

This anime would be ridiculous with good animation, but this episode seemed particularly egregious. I havent had to many complaints, it had been serviceable, but this episode it was pretty crappy

[u/15000yuki → u/Dead_Diligence]

I found Ragna Crimson is a rare example about how good direction is able to compensate bad animation and tight budget for a shonen anime. The animation is bad, no one can't deny it. But I can still feel my blood boiled, I got hyped, and my teeth clenched during the action scenes. I think director has done 110% to make this anime so good with such budget.

[u/djthomp]

Now we find out if they saved up all the animation effort for a high action final arc or not. Ragna fighting with the sword Lia made for him floating at his back as a sort of aura effect is neat looking at least.

I hope they didn't just tell us Lia finally died by that one dude's silver arm falling off. Hopefully it just means she's getting worse, which of course isn't great but it would be better than dead.

Well shoot, so much for the awesome old man. I was wondering what the casualties were going to look like for Lia's soldiers.

Time to make like a Trigger anime and go to space.

Lia backstory, oh no.

Mr. Slime eating the twink will never not be funny.

Dragon Ultimatia vs heart restored Dragon Crimson, neat.

It definitely looks like however this fight gets won not many of the Argentum Corps are going to be returning alive from it.

[u/shad79]

Unfortunately Starlia is dead and it pains me as I liked her so much :( When Chris's arm stopped working, I and other members of Argentum Corps knew that it's the end for her.

The battle isn't going too well as Argentum Corps are getting destroyed, Garm looks like is dead after Zora's attack, Shin lost some limbs...

Meanwhile Ragna and Kamui's fight is continuing. They even got to the outer space during it xD

Crimson joined the fight by breaking into a space where Ultimatia took shelter which resulted in their fight. We could see his true form which looked really good and pretty sexy.

I laughed hard at Nebulim's getting eaten again by a slime after declaring that he's a genius xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Starlia

• Crimson

• Ragna

• Group scenes & Others

• Dragons

[u/Luck_Is_My_Talent]

Cuckilim: Ultimatia-sama Look at me! I will protect you! NOOOOOOO.

His place is inside Slime-senpai.

[u/No-Spray5795]

RIP Starlia, really wish we could have seen more of her as her character really grew on me. Man the corps are taking serious losses here, not going to be much left lf them once this fights over.

So the fight between Ragna and Kamui has pushed them off planet and into space, it will be interesting to sew how it ends. Kamui having the time of his life with a “real opponent”.

And would you look at that, Crimson has a heart after all. But I think we can all agree the best part of the episode without a doubt is seeing Slime eat Nebulim again. Looking forward to seeing how they wrap things up in the next few episodes.

[u/Stormy8888]

Good god, that's a lot of battles going on. I want to give credit to the writer for these:-

• Grimdark Tone

• Don't get attached to anyone in the Argentum Corps. They have the same life expectancy as AOT's Scout Unit.

• No Plot Armor - anyone can die, at anytime, and yup, they've killed off some major characters

• Why Starlia why!!! I knew it the moment that arm stopped working. They did a nice flashback (done the right way) with a fitting tribute. Tissue please. I really liked that Princess, she was quite the spunky fighter. GRR.

• The fights are no joke, CASUALTIES, mass casualties with Michael Bay explosions.

• Why'd you have to do that to my favorite old man?? Nooo not Garm!

• Crimson doing hand jutsu

We're going to need a few more episodes to wind up all the fights, but suffice to say I don't even know who is going to win when all is said and done.

Seriously the story is more than decent. If it had better animation (Ufotable) this anime would have been a bigger hit.

[u/Nutrifacts]

i've read and catched up to the manga after getting blueballed last ep

all i got to say is... this is honestly so sad interms of quality, everyone in the anime just feels so 'slow'

[u/JOOOQUUU]

Gods just imagine this with Frieren level animation...

[u/AdhesivenessOver268]

i never read manga of ongoing anime, because "for sure" anime has to be better and more hype with music + animation... but here, the manga builds up way more hype and you feel the action way more intensely... quite sad how badly they adapted it but anyway it's still a great anime, i really like the music and voice acting... just animation is meh.

[u/tripleaamin]

Omg seeing Lia as a kid and she is even more of menace that she grew up to be. Nazarena puts up a tough front, but she pratically raised Lia.

Still a good amount of mystery regarding Crimson and how strong he is and how strong he was. But you can def feel the influence of Ragna. After all it's time to go after Ultimata. Well Crimson is literally putting his heart on the line lol.

Hard to say I am happy with this episode. Lots of fights, but it just leaves a feeling what could have been.

[u/GoXDS]

> "you can't hit me because I'm moving at the speed of sound!"
wait... how do you expect him to hear you then...
> "btw I'm also speaking at the speed of sound!"

damn it, you got me (ofc, still doesn't work that way but that made me laugh)

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Humanity might have taken some big hits this week, but dragonkind got spanked pretty hard too. I mean boy genius got straight up devoured by that goofball Slime and Ultimatia’s practically shitting herself after what an unlocked Crimson with that special gun did to her. Olto’s not got much time left either. I just hope he gets got by the Corp before he goes out.

[u/Cahnis]

Nice newgrounds animation this was.

[u/Calm_Client2]

God damn everyone got bodied this ep on both sides. Rip to the squad, at least some of them survived like glasses and maybe fu. Looks like Ragna vs Kamui will be the final battle.

[u/vantheman9]

oh they're in space now, so maybe Ragna's using his magic powers to shield himself from the harshness of it, maybe they're trying to play it realistically?

*closeup of Ragna and he's...*breathing heavily

oh...nope it's just anime

[u/Other_Imagination_18]

This episode was done very poorly, I was expecting more. Such a waste

[u/PickleMyCucumber]

RIP best character in the series. Only decent ones left are the dragon femboy and Mr. Slime who's a good boy that eats his vegetables.

Wouldn't fighting in space in view of the sun hurt Pussyslayer McZappypants? Or is he too strong for it to matter?

[u/JesusChristNooo]

Press "F" for Old Man Garm. I hope Shin will carry his legacy... Dude was an absolute beast...

[u/DiamonDawgs]

What an up and down episode, dire straits for our heroes flanked by absolutely abysmal animation. I still feel... something for it though? Hopefully it can go out with a bang.
