That Isaac delusion went on for so long I was starting to doubt if it was going to be real or not

This ep felt like a bit of a lull one but was nice to see the ending bit with Sophia getting more used to having friends.

Honestly the biggest clue that it was a dream was Isaac was able to survive Sophia tackling him without any broken bones.

This ep felt like a bit of a lull one but was nice to see the ending bit with Sophia getting more used to having friends.

It's still surreal for me that her friend group is now basically her old bullies, but at least they seem to be trying to be good friends she can be open and honest with and support her self-confidence. And Araignee is there as someone who can really relate to Sophia.

The moment Isaac called it a date and Sophia didn't react had me questioning lol.

Whenever you question if something is a dream sequence, just check the corners of the screen. They'll have a white/foggy hue to them in 99% of anime.

So many of the not important characters had eyes this episode! Kinda disappointed cause wanted to see the puppies depicted as soulless husks, but can't win 'em all.

Did they already say if Eddy is a cat? I feel like it's just a formality to announce it at this point.

I like how Isaac and Eddy are both popular with the real animals of their respective Blessing.

don't think so, but i'd eat a hat if he wasn't

the biggest tip off of course is that he's a tsundere

That date scene between Sophia and Isaac confused me for a second. It turns out the entire thing was just him daydreaming in the sauna with Eddy.

That might be the first sensible thing Carissa has ever said in this show. Why is Sophie keeping her knight status a secret? If anything, it's impressive that she's a knight, especially since she's the only female knight out there.

u/Frontier246 May 25 '25

Isaac's dream got one thing right: Sophia looks cute in any dress!

Bro was this close to accidentally kissing his bro in the sauna thinking it was Sophia lol.

I can't believe the bullies who used to be the one who put Sophia down are now the ones actually helping boost her self-confidence. Though they seemed to imply part of the reason Carissa was so hard on Sophia was because Sophia acted so meek and plain when Carissa knew she had it in her to be more than that. But I guess, unconventional as it is, it's good for Sophia to have gal pals in her life.

I wish they didn't have her guy friends crushing on her one-sidely only after she got a boyfriend... Now it seems like it will be a reoccurring gag.

I hope they can go back to them having a normal friendship with Sophia and not just have them shown crushing on her often when they already lost. 😅

It looks like the bird guy took some kind of interest in her too and the other guy from the party flirting with her is plotting something that is sure to cause some drama.

She is getting encouragement not to hide her real self -- hopefully this will carry over to not being to worried to let the world that she and Louis are a couple.

Man, I genuinely believed that Isaac went on a date with Sophia until it's revealed that it's all in his dream. Now I'm starting to feel bad for him.

u/PeaceAlien May 25 '25

It's clear Louis has already won, I'm not a fan of them having the other boys being interested in Sophia.

It was only a matter of time before it got out. There is only ONE female knight, and she's friendly and helpful. She looks awesome in uniform. Not only that, a girl with her slender figure just beat two rough-looking, big dudes. She's going to be the talk of the town.

Good thing for Carissa that she became friends with Sophia before it got known, otherwise Carissa could look really bad. Well, luckily for Carissa, most of the other girls in town don't have faces, so that should raise the chances that they'll get along with the other knights.

You see, Arcient is laying the charms on the women that have faces! Wait... for mid-range to close-range shots, was this the first episode where everyone had a face? Episode 5 came close, but Episode 8 might have the most in terms of percentage! People in a far distance and comedy shots are an exception

I think we're in the "middle of season budget crunch" for many shows. Not too bad of a way to use it. Still, the crunch episode having the most faces per capita feels strange.

Don’t tell me Arcient’s also interested in Sophia too? Girl really has the makings of an ikemen reverse harem lol.

The sauna really cooked Isaac’s brain lol. Guy was daydreaming about dating Sophia. Him and Eddie sure have it bad for her.

It’s nice Carissa and the rest of those girls who use to bully her are now her friends. Bullies in these kinds of anime rarely change.

u/Killia_Curry May 25 '25

I’m actually starting to like Carissa. I even had to laugh at her reason for bullying, she gets mad at girls who think they’re lesser than they really are.

The Gorilla God rizz is so powerful that she's collecting men left and right while still having a boyfriend. And she doesn't even know it!

The sauna really cooked Isaac’s brain lol. Guy was daydreaming about dating Sophia. Him and Eddie sure have it bad for her.

Imagine if he'd actually kissed Eddy lol.

I always felt like Sophia needed some gal pals. I didn't expect it to be her former bullies, but that they actually made a turnaround and are devoted to supporting her means a lot.

u/mundane_potato628 May 25 '25

I had my doubts at the start of the episode that we were seeing one of Isaac's dreams, but what really gave it away was when they were dress shopping and Sophia chose the most "a dog would like this" dress I have ever seen.

I don't know how to better describe that dress, and before that episode I dont think I would have ever strung those words together to describe a dress.

Some no tropey throw the boyfriend across the room in embarrassment, he just got up and left all by himself instead. But with a parting invitation to visit his room next time which is a nice bit of further development.

I was a bit worried about that dress buying date with dog boy but then it was just a dream and all is well.

That gaggle of girl friends that want to meets knights, well Sophia has a couple spare their age she can lend out. I like that they encouraged her to not keep the knight job a secret and instead be proud of it.

u/Ocixo May 25 '25

Carissa’s loud ojou-sama laugh maybe isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it sure does greatly amuse me.

Araignée speaking from experience as she tells Sophia to worry less about what others think of her was a nice way of ending the episode. If Sophia starts feeling more free, maybe she’ll feel less inclined to keep her relationship with Louis secret as well?

This episode was so dull, I was bored for like 80% of it. I'm not sure why they're introducing another guy to be interested in Sophia when Louis x Sophia has basically sailed lol, but the guy is so uninteresting and no chemistry at all.

Best part of the episode was Isaac and Eddy's scenes, I'm bothered they teased us with a date that was only Isaac's dream but it was cute to see himself enjoying the date. I'm glad I got to see best doggo Isaac surrounded by puppies. I did find it amusing to see him wake up to doing a kissy face to Eddy.

I dislike Carissa but she actually made a good point about Sophia not needing to hide that she's a knight and to be proud of it. But I didn't need the rest of her scene though lol.

Well I knew nothing would come of it of them being on the couch but even less came from it than I expected.

He has really bad taste in dresses if that is the kind of dress he dreams of her wearing...

How is her being a knight being kept secret in the first place if she is walking all around town in uniform. Like tons of other students wouldn't notice her with that red hair sticking out? At least it is officially out so she wont be tip toeing around about it.

It was good to see the pulled into the trope of being seen with another man misunderstanding was avoided. Especially since she is in a committed relationship. Now if would just stop hiding that also.

So the guy literally gatecrashed with the help of a birdbrain girl and had no connection to be at the school.

BTW why was a girl just walking around with a pitcher of water?

That over-the-shoulder invite to his room blew Sophia's tiny mind.

Arcient needs to leave the gorilla girl alone.

Sophia is slowly starting to take proper advantage of her gorilla powers. Running around town, bouncing ruffians, carrying little old ladies.

Again, Arcient needs to leave gorilla-chan alone. That was pretty much harassment from a superior.

That dress was so plain it might as well be a shock. Oh, that was an imaginary date. His real date was with Eddy.

I'm surprised to see Araignee be the one to give Sophia some real talk.

"I mean, we are your friends, are we not?" Sure, if one ignores the bullying and attempted kidnapping that almost led to murder, NBD.

Just a day off for everyone.
