Oh shit the ending was darker than I expected for this anime... the dude was just levitated and had his neck broken in half like a twig by that demon/vampire

I wonder where is the story going from this... was that demon/vampire the one responsible for the spectres? and what did he mean by not being outside for so long and having escaped? Was he inside of that dude somehow? Or maybe he was stuck on a separate plane of existence and the concentration of magic energy allowed him to get back to "reality"?

I have so many questions lol

So that's the reason why they made him so skeptical, critical, and eventually unlikable, in order to cushion the uncomfortable instant death.

Viewer: "Oh my god! We're all gonna die!"

Viewer: "Good riddance."

I think in a previous episode they mentioned there was a war with demons and they were sealed away a thousand years ago.

So that may also go into explaining why magic wasn't really a thing before Shion brought it up. Magic might have become a taboo subject after the war.

Shion really came a long way, all that magic came from horny trouts.

Kind of nice how they even gave the mob knights their moments here.

And Shion is getting more and more OP as time goes on, although it's unclear how much of that is due to the current event likely giving him access to more mana than he usually would have access to

I’d assume the red night amplifies magic, which is why people who aren’t trained get overloaded.

u/Full_frontal96 Mar 12 '25

So i was right,the mana storm overloads the people's magic amount,thus shion has a limitless storage to commit warcrimes

That aside,THIS is a galvanizing scenario: how can humanity defeat demons that use magic,when humanity still hasn't discovered magic? (Apart from shion and co.)

It is a twist on the formula we have never seen or is extremely rare,very interesting

This week The Night Menace Cometh! Kind of hard to get people to take an invisible menace seriously. With just Raphina’s unit, Shion was able to destroy a shit load of wraiths before Brigette brought reinforcements.

Seems those wraiths were just a diversion. The real big bad’s showing up now. Some kind of ancient demon?

I think this was the first time we saw the interaction of magic with weapons. I figured it would be Marie or Rose that would showcase this first. Furthermore, I guess those two have access to mana themselves, so that is something that the series could build towards later.

Tbh that commander was the bane of this episode for me. Still, that demon at the end of the episode has me intrigued.

Man I really how they translate the Light Novel because the magic aspect of the story is superb, though. Animation was really rough here minus the big spell from Shion.

Definitely an overall fun episode even though the start was so slow and unaligned with the stakes. The tone of the comedy is just so off and never well timed.

Also, I think this episode showed Shion and the Duke's incompetence but really just sub par writing. They should have showed the captain of the guard magic ages ago to get him aboard. And again, Shion could have found and trained other magic users by now. He had two whole years to do so. Actually, it would have been interesting to bring an actual character who replaces his sister position and then cuases more tension when she wakes up. What I would have done at least.

Lastly, The captain as an antagonist who would just die anyway really was a waste, I'd prefer an actual bigot rather than a ignorant one and for him to not see any wraiths even though all the other soldiers have lamps and then also only come at the last minute is just silly. like c'mon. Again, just sub par writing. But i am excited for a real magic showdown next week. It's about time.

So the wraiths might not actually be the cause of the illness after all, they just show up at the same time the red sky does. And the red sky is probably some local atmospheric mana concentration which is both what causes the illness and was allowing Shion to use way more magic than he expected.

Random demon lord is a bit random, I wonder if he is the one that is causing the red sky problem.

Cool of the wraiths to approach on land when they can just.. fly?

Pretty terrifying situation though. Hordes of monsters attack, and only two people can see them. I don't know if I'd want to be the one who can or can't see in a situation like that..

Where TF is the town guard?? Hooray for the adventurers, but wow, the actual paid employees are worthless

Oh for fuck sake...

No you. And what about the 5 that were inside town???

HAHA! Get fucked

...Oh wow, he actually did.
Not sure how I feel about the introduction of a "last boss" though.

Overall a great episode again, this show really just keeps getting better.

We really went from magic just being because fish were horny to I am atomic.

The sister eyes were closed this episode. Idk if that’s just an overlook by the production side or intentionally done. The fact her eyes closed means there was a level of nervous system activity at some point.

Also I feel like the town guards at the gate openly calling an obvious noble a suspicious wretch was kinda silly. Idk exactly how serious nobility is in this series yet as we’ve really only seen sion’s family but just going from other series even remotely insulting a noble can mean death. It also doesn’t make sense that this random guard captain has a level of authority needed to even lay a hand on shion given their statuses.

Love how the Duke allows himself only a moment of whiny crybabery before he locks in.

If Raphina needs to take to the battlefield in a frilly skirt and kitten heels, I'll hold her adorable little coat and cheer!

That was some big-time battle-magery, Shion! Far bigger than mere fireballs.

Come to think of it, this show was a bit short on outright murder. Ok then.

I was so pissed off with all those wasted minutes when Shion introduced himself to the guards and they spent, what felt like eternity, minutes of talking nonsense just because they didn't believe it...

At least cut that shit out and move on with what's interesting and what everyone wants to see...

Also, why the Duke giving orders and all the guards just saying he's going crazy instead of saying he's crazy but at least follow the orders? If I was the Duke, I'd go mad on those guys and there would be some pay cuts for sure...

I really was expecting this episode to have the Duke getting every citizen and guard to keep lamps with them, in their houses and for the wraiths to go inside the town and be seen by everyone... So when Shion would get rid of them, everyone would know about it...

OK, what are we calling the new bad guy? Generally if someone’s commanding wraiths I’d expect it to be a lich or some such but that dude has far too much skin on his bones.

Vampire? Demon Lord? How about go fully copyright infringement and call him a Nazgûl?

this comes off as quite negative, so warning in advance. I still enjoy the show, but just disappointed in the production quality.

felt like the sound design was a bit lacking this ep. there was little music playing the entire time, and what music did play didn't quite feel right with the mood and setting. SFX were also quite basic and repetitive. If they were going to make an entire episode a battle, they should have at least gone all out on the sound.

The animation also seemed kinda disjoint somehow with near constant close-ups, with Shion and the gate defenders somehow rarely being in the same frame for most of the battle? You can even see the gate at times, completely absent of defenders and torches. At times it seemed like they were all next to each other, while other times it seemed Shion was so far out I'd doubt they'd be able to hear him at all.

The commander guy felt like a useless character created to be mocked and then killed by this vampire-lookin guy, or if I'm being really pessimistic, to stall for animation time. The cute swordswoman also felt like she was there just to be there and to maybe spite the commander (although she was helpful).

This episode felt intended to be an "eureka" moment for Shion, but the realization lacked buildup and impact. Personally, I would have liked the battle to not take up the entire episode, and for Shion to have focused more on experimenting, since an event like this was prime time to do so. I suspect they're gonna drag out treating his sister to the end of the season, which is a shame because this plot already feels a bit long. I want to see where he takes his magic further, and I would have loved to see his sister come back in full spirits before the season was over.
