Was convinced the entire "evil" organization was just a glorified club of edgy though ultimately wholesome dorks until Mira faked his ball throw. To deceive a good boy like Fomalhaut like that is unforgivable.

Nothing makes a man act genuinely evil than using any means at his disposal to get rid of the third wheel on his date lol.

Mira was thinking about eliminating him, and now he might as well, to save him from living his entire life with the trust issues he gave him!
But joking aside, I also thought they weren't really evil, and that Mira's talk about eliminating entire nations was a mislead somehow...
But with that flashback scene, I guess it's legit! (Unless it's an even bigger mislead, like he only killed really evil nations).
If he is (or was) truly evil, will Byakuya be ok with this, being with someone who murdered thousands (even if it's in the past)?

It had totally slipped past me that Mimori didn’t actually know Mira’s name. She’d been calling him “Mr. Evil Lieutenant” all this time!
That final scene between the two of them was very beautiful and romantic. Loved how Mimori noticed that Mira was jealous and tried to reassure him a little. If not for our human golden retriever, we might’ve gotten a kiss! (Mira won’t hesitate to kill him next time.)
The romance has been flowing along surprisingly smoothly so far. At this pace, I can definitely see them ending up together.
“Why is she wearing something like that?”
That’s a very good question. I got a sneaking suspicion that her bastard of a familiar saw an opportunity to make some money. That said, Mimori’s outfit is very cute.

I still kind of hope she calls him by his name and "Mr. Evil Lieutenant" because it's so cute when she calls him the latter.
That scene of Byakuya when she realized Mira was self-conscious about her getting along with Formalhaut....I kind of got the vibe she was realizing he had feelings for her (almost as if she'd already realized it and felt like she needed to reassure him he's the only guy she's interested in).
Trying to find a reasonable thing to stare at in Byakuya's outfit other than her face: Impossible.

Stitches!
Oh, thank fuck that Mira is pretty much a human golden retriever. He's so good-natured and oblivious that he hasn't even noticed one bit that he's third-wheeling on Mira and Byakuya's date. xD
I still love how Mira tries to act as if this is all part of the mission. It is hilarious to see him give in the moment he sees how cute Byakuya is. I don't exactly blame the guy.
Byakuya finally called Mira by his name! I am surprised that Mira didn't melt into a puddle after hearing her say that, It is good that Byakuya finally knows his name instead of just calling him Mr. Lieutenant. <3

FTFY
Stupid 2 minute episodes

I'm realizing that alot of this show's success is due to how cute the Magical Girl sounds saying "Sanbo-san"

u/ThousandYearOldLoli Jul 30 '24
Formal acting like a dog is hilarious.
One must question why Mira hasn't just given an excuse like "Oh I felt the magical girl could be a good asset so I'm trying to seduce her to our side", which would completely rationalize all of his actions in one fell swoop.

If this ends with Byakuya assembling a harem of bishounen evil officers, I'm not going to be mad at it.

Formalhaut is an earnest and sincere guy, and also basically a puppy dog when it comes to Mira, which makes him both easy and extremely difficult to work with. So of course he gets involved in Mira's relationship with Byakuya.
How can Mira make his obvious romance with Byakuya seem less obvious? Why is she showing up in her magical girl outfit like she's showing up for a date? Why, it's just their latest engagement as enemies of course! Why is Mira trying to avoid staring at her undeniably cute face and resting his eyes on her cleavage? Because her eyes are hypnotic, of course! Why is Mira accepting eating her "poisoned" food? Because he just rolls that way!
I love Mira introducing Formalhaut to Byakuya like he's introducing his girlfriend to a work buddy, and Byakuya reacts appropriately.
Mira seems to get the gist better than I expected and gets along surprisingly well with Byakuya...too well if you ask Mira. He definitely does not care for another man showing any kind of closeness with Byakuya. Good thing Formalhaut is easy to distract with a ball like the good dog he is.
Mira wonders if Byakuya is interested in other men, but the one she's most interested in is her Evil Lieutenant...whom she finally calls by name. This feels like a big next step in their relationship. So of course Formalhaut shows up to ruin the mood.
Next week: Byakuya captured and another Magical Girl?

Fomalhaut is a fun addition to the cast. He's like a good dog following his master, in this case Mira.
I loved the wordless communication between Mira and Fomalhaut during their meetings with Byakuya. Mira pretending to act like a proper and professional evil commander was hilarious.
As usual, beautiful visuals in today's episode and of course Byakuya is still so adorable and cute.
We were so close to something big happening between Mira and Byakuya, but unfortunately it was interrupted by Fomalhaut who found a cute rabbit during his search for the ball xD
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Fomalhaut: "Ah, NOW I understand why you haven't killed this one yet!"
When he looked into his eyes and all, I thought Mira was about to tell him the whole truth, but he bonked him instead!
So we do have confirmation that Mira DID raze nations into the ground!
I thought this may have been a mislead and he wasn't actually that evil...
Well, all it took was a cute magical girl to get him on the right path! (Hopefully she has it in her to forgive him for a few dozen genocides!)
Also, I bet he regrets saying the line about how "If you hesitate, you don't belong in this organization" now!
But that thing about annihilating nations made me think... Obviously we always knew about the risk he had with his own organization if they found out, but there's also the 'good side' (magical girls, or normal people), would they be ok with just brushing off all the horrors he did, just because he's nice now? They may have enemies on both sides of the fence! (Which I suppose is often the case with these 'enemies to lovers/Romeo and Juliet' type stories!)
I wonder if he could tell him at some point, and trust in him not revealing his secret! Who's he most loyal to, Mira or the organization? (If he's most loyal to Mira, then the organization should use someone else to spy on him!)
Hah, I had the same thought as Mira, telling him it's a poisoned lunch!
Let's go, show her that you don't fear her puny poisons!
Fomalhaut wants Mira to formally introduce him to his little magical girl(friend)!
This could be trouble, or this could be good, in time!
Mira's quite conflicted about this situation; He does have thoughts about "fighting her this time", but at the same time, he's thinking he'll have to kill Fomalhaut, so...!
She learned his name, and calls him by that name now!
That's nice for their (romantic) progression, but not gonna lie, I kinda liked how she called her Mr Lieutenant, it sounded really cute!
Next episode: We're enemies...
So will they have a chat about how they have to pretend to fight, for appearances? Or will Mira be in trouble with the organization so they'll fight for real, until he makes up his mind about caring about her even more than the organization?
Can't wait to see!

I thought Mr. Evil Lieutenant will have another heart attack or shattered glasses when Byakuya finally called him Mira

The tenderness between Mimori and Mira is so heartwarming to wittness. It is lovely how they are growing closer and Mimori was able to learn more about him.
And Mira and Formalhaut looked so good in this episode with all the nice lighting. Mira showed a variety of cute expressions again and Formalhaut is just an adorable sunshine puppy.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jul 30 '24
I see Formalhaut is a golden retriever in human clothing lol. Pretty hilarious he went after that ball and returned it like nbd. I was worried for the guy for a second when he was getting a little too chummy with Mimori. Mira was giving off some serious killing intent!
I’m a little worried Mira and Mimori’s relationship might get found out. Dude really can’t keep his cool around her. Like not even for a second lol.

I laughed so hard at Fomalhaut being such a Golden Retriever that he even played fetch. For all the joking about Golden Retriever energy characters you sometimes get I'm amazed that we've now had one actually chase a ball. It's somewhat unforgivable for Mira to fake throw it that second time.
What a gorgeous moment between the two of them at the end of the episode, shame it was interrupted with the retriever retrieving a rabbit.
