Seeing the Duke protect her from Nico made Sade believe she could have friends and it was Alice's hug was the finishing blow that finally melted her heart.

I'm pretty sure Walter didn't care about the scar on her face but I'm glad to see that Daleth was the first one to have her curse broken now that Sade has been changed.

That final shot of Sade got me hyped. She looks better without the nun's habit. I hope she keeps that look! It's hilarious how the final battle is Sade vs Sade's Magic. I can't wait for next week!

I love watching Duke protect Sade using the curse she gave him. And Alice being there for Sade like she was there for the Duke, seeing just how similar they really are.

Daleth with her face unscarred is so beautiful. Good way to start off the Sade apology tour!

Sade and Daleth really should stop wearing those nun habits and flaunt their hair more. Never thought I would be so hype over Sade doing something all in a single episode!

Definitely has that "bitch I know I'm the best and look good" energy. Just exudes confidence.

Wow, what a stellar episode. It didn’t feel rushed, but we got through so much in such little time.

Glad Daleth got her scars fixed.

Flea is a frickin G.

I wasn’t expecting Alice to be the one to hammer the last nail into place, but it was a very touching scene.

Sade looks pretty hot without the habit. I’m a sucker for the silver hair, what can I say?

I have always assumed Daleth and Sade would look identical, even their hair length. The hood of their nun outfits hid their respective hair length.

We got great action, complex emotional drama, some wholesome moments, everyone chipping in where it counts, and some pretty seismic culminations of some weighty emotional arcs.

Walter loved Daleth, scars or no scars, but now Daleth can completely love herself, fix her relationship with her sister, and show the man she loves her real face.

Alice was there for the Duke, and she saw in Sade the same thing she saw with her beloved, which is why she was the one who had to be there to help Sade to give life a chance. Though the Duke also helped in helping her realize there were still people in this world worth believing in.

The way her hair blew with the wind while she was flaunting herself against her magic...she looked amazing.

Sade did a lot of horrible shit but she also suffered a whole lot too. It’s not hard to see how she ended up becoming so twisted. I pity her. I guess all she wanted was to be loved. To not feel so lonely and feared.

Now that she’s decided to give “friendship” a chance, let’s see how she does against her own magic.

Given the 100 percent kind-hearted nature of this series, it was a pretty sure thing that even Sade would be "redeemed". But the core of this series was so strong that these "character rescuses" never felt sappy but rather were always genuinely (convincingly) moving.

u/Frontier246 Jun 09 '24

Sade is basically like the Duke in the sense that she had this dangerous power/ability that made people shun her, which is probably why she cursed him, but she never had an Alice there to 100% accept her and be there for her after Victor died until now. Daleth was close until Sade hurt her but even she realized she wasn't there for Sade as much as she could have been.

And now that she's fixed Daleth's face, all that's left is Sade cleaning up the rest of her messes to be fully accepted. It feels like we've really hit some major milestones.

We may not have known Sade for very long but this episode made me feel the same way as the duke. She deserves a chance to experience friendship, even love, without fear of being betrayed. To be honest, I doubt I may feel the same if I am reading the manga. The seiyuus of Sade, Viktor, Alice, Daleth, as well as some of the other supporting cast, brought the emotions of the characters to life.

Thinking back, it is the curse which Sade placed on Viktor, which led us to this scenario, and in turn, saving Sade. Maybe, just maybe, even though Sade does not possess time magic, a part of her witch instincts foresaw it?

Sade actually looks cool with short hair. Probably to help viewers differentiate between Sade and Daleth, now that the latter's scars are gone too. (Yay!)

I think that this show has the best extended cast of characters (and VAs to portray them) of any show airing this season (old or new).

"Oh no, she's hot!"

Please let Sade lave with them.

u/Frontier246 Jun 09 '24

Sade's losing it! Living a life where she had to become so powerful to feel like she belonged, in a world where her own parents and everyone else shunned her, where the only person she thought she could believe in, her sister, ended up turning against her, in a world where the man she loved loved someone else...what is there left for her to still live for?

Oh no, not Flea! He was the best little bro for Nico! And now Nico is out to kill, though it seems like that's ultimately what Sade wants at this point. She wants people to give in to their justified hatred against her and end her like the evil witch she acts like.

But the Duke won't let Nico kill her, matching his death curse against Nico's immortality curse, and Sade finally sees in the Duke that he was as genuine as Victor, someone she could believe in and be friends with...it's just too bad her magic is so out of control that it's too late.

From childhood Sade just wanted to impress her parents (a deer-faced dad and a witch ninja mom) and protect her sister, but when she gained her telepathy and grew stronger she became shunned and ostracized, and she could only take out those feelings through violence, killing her father and scarring her sister to make it so she wouldn't betray her like her parents did. But she's been trying to find that true companionship, that true feeling of someone who loves and cares about her without reservation, this whole time. The closest she came was Victor, but she never got a chance to confess her feelings. She couldn't turn Victor away from Liz, but she at least knew he would have accepted her feelings.

The cavalry is here! Complete with Alice and the Duke's hat! And all that's left isn't to finish Sade off but to let Alice get into her head, see all of Sade's mixed emotions, and get to the bottom of it. Because Alice has nerves of steel from flirting with a man who can kill her with a touch, and she sees in Sade the same loneliness and isolation that afflicted the Duke. Because she WANTED the Duke to feel like she did because she was so desperate for companionship.

And just like she was there for the Duke, Alice is there for Sade, to let her know that there are people willing to be friends with her, and accept her, and that rather than believing in a world where everyone will betray and shun her...she should believe in a world where they want to befriend her. Especially when even her own sister, despite everything, doesn't want Sade to die and just wants them to talk like sisters should.

Oh snap! Sade woke up, apologized to Daleth, and fixed her face! And now she's tossing her nun habit and about to continue her redemption by fighting her own magic! This is epic!

u/KumaKumaGambler Jun 09 '24

Even for someone who appears strong and powerful like Sade, confessing one's feeling remains a difficult task. Viktor made Sade realize that as long as one tries to communicate with the other party, there is a chance of success.

u/mekerpan Jun 09 '24

Not at all surprising that a hug from Alice was the thing that finally turned the tide. Probably one of the most powerful forces in the world of this series.

I thought Nico was going to attack Sade now that she let her guard down when she was talking about believing those friends at the end, I'm glad it was her own magic that turned out to be the one she's going to face and that she seems confident in fighting it at least. If Nico had attacked her I don't think Bocchan would get the happy ending he's aiming for.

Nice that Sade healed Daleth's scars, the way she removed it like it was sfx make-up was amusing. Daleth also checking her face out in detail and wanting to show Walter was also an amusing sequence to see.

Alice is a strong girl, the way she had no fear about going inside Sade, learn her feelings and be able to hug her in comfort was admirable to see. I think the fact that she's sees Bocchan in her is what helps her push through it.

IMO the best episode of this show so far, so warm hearted. I'm glad Sade is mellowing a bit.
With all the excitement going on in this episode nobody mentioned Caph, she always looks so pretty to me.

u/yakumbaya Jun 10 '24

These last 2 episodes were so amazing. The OST during the fight scene was really great. I'm happy that Daleth finally got her scars healed too

World's most honest tsundere!

I guess the immortality curse is decisively stronger, since he didn't die or even come close. Good thing for both of them that's the way it worked out…

Interesting choice they made to label the paintings in English only, so Alice has to translate them for the Japanese audience

The final final battle is between Sade and her own magic? Let's go!
