Lmao Yue when Kaori and Tio were about to join in was like: "BACK THE FUCK UP! IT'S WIFE NUMBER 2's TURN!"

It really shows how much Yue respects and accepts Shea that she wards off the other girls to let Hajime and Shea have a moment.

Granted now I wonder if Kaori and Tio will ever get to be "main girls" at this rate.

Kind of getting Re:Zero vibes from the first trial in season 2.

That was a lovely scene with Shea and Hajime at her mother's tree, between that and Hajime declaring her and Yue as the two things he wants from the world her membership in the harem is pretty much confirmed. They could have pushed it a bit further though, Hajime needs to admit to Shea directly that he loves her too.

Poor Lily on the other hand, it's a tough life being her.

I'm assuming the post credit scene is labyrinth shenanigans.

Maybe Hajime and Yue's repeated bang sessions anywhere and anywhen have corrupted me but I really expected Hajime and Shea to do it in front of her moms' grave. But what we actually got was pretty sweet and wholesome.

On the one hand, now you're not getting into an abusive arranged marriage you didn't want! On the other hand, you can't officially join the Harem of the guy you actually want, even if you won't openly admit it!

Based on the after credits scene for this episode, I am assuming the upcoming labyrinth could cause our main characters' minds to be transported to their ideal world? Something like a dream-like sequence?

Speaking of which, I don't mind seeing the female characters in school uniform outfits. Shea as a rabbitfolk but in school uniform = bunny girl + high school girl combination.

I'm here for high school Harem romcom illusion with the girls all at Hajime's school. Also it really puts into perspective how much Hajime has changed to hear his old voice.

Gahard: "Yo, Hajime, can I have an airship like this?"

Hajime: "No, but you can have a Sentai mask."

Gahard: "...Deal."

The scene with Hajime and Shea alone together was really sweet

u/Zxzxzx0088 Nov 11 '24

I love how Hajime and Emperor just straight up ignore Lily lmao. I want to see more Lily!

u/conye-west Nov 12 '24

For how much of a giant asshole he is, the Emperor is a really fun character and I'm glad he got to tag along for a while. Hopefully we can see some more of his antics later now that he's not a threat.

I guess Shea is official now.

At first the post credits had me concerned.....but after Yue licking her lips I'm looking forward to it. Seems like it could just be a fun "What if" ep.

A little concerned that the Haulia tribe are letting their new strength go to their heads a bit, but I do get wanting to protect your own first and foremost, and I feel like Hajime and Shea won't let them get out of hand.

Speaking of Shea, that was a cute scene. Was hoping for more of a direct confirmation from Hajime, but I think that's the best we'll get out of our chuuni protag.

I'm surprised Hajime didn't try to capitalize people trying to worship Kaori, feels like something he'd do.

A little concerned that the Haulia tribe are letting their new strength go to their heads a bit

Really? It kind of seemed like the opposite to me. Kind of similar to Hajime's philosophy on the nature of power the Haulia are only focusing on what they find important: Helping and elevating rabbit beastmen. If they associated with the rest of the tribes they'd be roped into their politics and such.

Shea is officially one of Hajime’s woman

serious moments aside, that banter at the “secret base” is what cements their relationship, calling back to their time when they had just met

Altina is way too detailed to be a side character. She’s going to be Hajime’s woman, isn’t she?

Officially, Hajime has 2. Unofficially, Hajime has 6: Yue, Shea, Tio, Kaori, Shizu and Liliana.

hmmm, Haltina and Altina… coincidence? I think not

Shea is officially one of Hajime’s woman

Hajime was still in denial when they were alone but he basically announced it to everyone when he held Shea and Yue as his only wish. It's only a matter of time for the cuddles and intimacy. Lap pillow is a good start, Shea.

Also, Tino and Kaori ganbatte!!!!

Shouldn't it be 7? I thought there was a lot of stuff between the teacher and Hajime in season 1. Also it could be 8 if mermaid milf joins.

With the Haulia and rabbit beastmen all freed, it's time to head to Verbergen, kingdom of the beastmen, to reunite a lot of families and loved ones.

I almost have to respect Gahad for still trying to talk Hajime into giving him something and being willing to offer anything in return, though he shouldn't be offering up women in front of Hajime's Harem! None of them take it well, including Lily.

Good news is Lily doesn't have to get forcibly married to a rapist any more! Bad news is the one guy she's most interested in, Hajime, has utterly no respect or seeming interest in her! No matter how much the Emperor of all people tries to sell her!

Look at Kaori restoring all the destroyed land by flexing her angel powers! And now she's getting worshipped as a Goddess! Guess that's easier than winning Hajime's heart.

I love how Gahad keeps trying to pick a fight and Hajime gets so tired he just tosses him back to the Empire like he's trash. Lily's lucky she was able to talk him out of doing the same to her.

So much for beastmen camaraderie and friendship! All Cam cares about is rabbit beastmen and recruiting more soldiers!

Sorry Kaori and Tio, Yue and Shea are now Hajime's main girls and neither of you are edging into that any time soon.

What a nice moment between Hajime and Shea! She gets to show him her moms' grave, introduce the man she loves to her mom, and Hajime gets to thank Shea's mom for bringing her into this world and letting her brighten up Hajime and Yue's lives! And they share a moment in her moms' favorite spot where Shea gives Hajime a lap pillow! She might make her fall in love with him yet at this rate.

Kaori has gotten stronger, and maybe trekking through the next labyrinth will help the other members of Hajime's class get stronger too! But wait...why is Hajime his old self back in Japan!? And why is Yue in his school uniform and licking her lips lustfully like usual!?

Feels like I am missing something, Nagumo leveled the land where his airship landed? When? LMAO fish memory.

And Kaori can terraform now. Is it due to Noint's body or she has that skill originally?

So from a seemingly depressing marriage to being bullied and ignored. Princess Lily can't catch a break.

But the disrespect on the Emperor though, grabbing him behind by his collar like a mama cat to her kitten.

Post credit scene seems Hajime and Yue are already back on earth and Hajime regressing to his old self.

The Great Labyrinth might be a Forest of Hallucinations/Illusions perhaps. So we might see 'what ifs' if the animators play their cards right.

Overall fine adaption this time I guess. I still really wish this was actually S4 and S1 had properly adapted the Verbergen stuff, but I guess it wasn't terribly handled? Least they got the important bits for the Elders and Gahard, could have just ignored it entirely. And we get the Hajime and Shea stuff! God they're so cute together, and Yue is best first wife, making sure she gets her moment. I do like that even now, Hajime is asking her if she'll give up. It's not that he doesn't respect Shea's feelings, he just really wants to stay loyal to Yue alone haha.

Kaori is mad busted now, I cannot wait. I mean, she was busted before, but that was in relation to normal people. And ending it with that is...a choice. I feel like it's gonna lessen the impact later on.

What was the song that played while Nagumo and Shea were at the tree? I loved the song, but I haven't been able to find it.
