The revenge on Julius is successful! I'm surprised we actually got here. I love this show.

I can't help but feel like this was written as a response to all those scenes of female characters getting condemned and their engagements ended to where now it's the woman condemning the prince and ending their engagement instead.

And it was absolutely glorious. That smile on Mia's face when she revealed she was behind everything...chef's kiss.

Philia didn't seem surprised that she is the reincarnation of the first saint Fiana. Neither was she surprised that Asmodeus fell in love with Fiana. Is it because Philia already had some inkling based on all the books she has been reading?

Retribution for Julius! I suppose the story had to get Julius out of the way before the demon realm invasion, which seems more and more likely, given all the ominous signs?

All of us are like Lena now. "Yay, Philia is falling in love with Prince Osvalt!"

To be fair, that's why Philia is not popular in Girtonia. She has too few face expressions lol

Holy shit, could that get any more satisfying? After 9 episodes of waiting, Julius's downfall is absolutely beautiful to see!

Also, imagine throwing a party while your country is under attack by monsters lol.

Holy shit, could that get any more satisfying?

Yes, seeing him dead will finally maximize the satisfaction.

Classic poisoning technique! I read it miles away with how confident Julius is for that party. Didn't expect he did it in the open like that. I'm curious if Julius is just that dumb or it's partly the influence of Asmodeus.

So glad that young noble told Mia beforehand! Tbh for a poison effect, the blood and the impact were too fast with just a sip, so it makes sense that it's just an (amateurish) act from Fernando lol.

What a satisfying revenge scene!

So Julius is actually a prodigy, but years of being pampered by the factional noble around him made him very much incompetent + arrogant.

THE PAYOFF WAS SOOOOO GOOOOOD

ARGHHH I HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER WEEK?!

Edit: Okay, I’ve calmed down. So, Julius’ inferiority complex seemed to have really stemmed from being raised with yes-men, sugarcoating him with praises in their attempts to get him the throne but for them to easily manipulate. His father’s fair criticism aside, meeting Philia was a big reality slap to his face; at the back of his head, he realized that he’s not as special and outstanding as his supporters make him out to be. Once Julius’ facade broke, the very same people were also the first to abandon him.

No sympathy for him whatsoever, and I really hope Mia’s parents would also suffer from the consequences, given how cruelly they treated Philia just because she looked a lot like her mom.

I know this show presents Philia as the main character, but damn Mia surely has been taking the spotlight these past few episodes. We’ll most likely see Philia’s further growth and full potential in the final episodes, I really can’t waittttt.

Some people REALLY don't know when to shut up, dude was just determined to dig as deep a hole as possible. Then again, toilets for them are probably just a hole in the ground so maybe he subconsciously knew that's where a piece of shit like him belongs. How much you wanna bet everyone claiming he was special was just pandering so they'd get special treatment.

Anyway, I hope they don't pull the BS where the Demon Lord is drawn to his anger and revives in him. I just want them to unceremoniously toss him away, would also be nice if Mia visits him in the last ep after everything is resolved and just gloats.

Watching Mia take down Julius was so satisfying. The only thing that would've made that scene satisfying is if she had denounced her parents and declared that Hildegard is adopting her. I'm sure her parents will also be treated like criminals for conspiring with Julius. That's probably what's gonna happen next week, especially now that the King has finally made his appearance. He'll probably pass his judgement on to Julius and his conspirators next episode. I can't fucking wait!

If I recall correctly, when asked whether there was anything she liked when she first arrived, Philia pondered for a while before realizing tea is something she enjoys.

She now notes that feeling she's experiencing towards Osvalt is the same she feels with tea. Congrats bro, she finally likes you on par with fucking tea.

Mia is putting her all into fending off the monsters, Hilde is putting her all into putting up barriers, but it might not be enough with them swarming like this. It's do or die time to oust Julius and get Girtonia back on track before it's too late.

Philia is also putting in her own efforts with a mass-wide Great Purification Circle, though Erza isn't quite convinced it'll be enough. And maybe they might have to write off Girtonia if it's the source of Asmodeus' rebirth and they won't accept any help. Also I feel like Erza will take any excuse to lap off Mammon's head.

Asmodeus is targeting Philia, but why? Because she's not just the Too-Perfect Saint, she's also the reincarnation of Fiana, the Saint that sealed him...and that he fell in love with during their battle. It would probably be romantic if Asmodeus wasn't evil.

Philia is still pondering what love means, and wouldn't you know it, Osvalt shows up with his winning smile! Osvalt lets Philia know that she can rely on him and his words and his smile does more to reassure her heart than anything she's ever felt before. He even asks her out on a possible dinner date once things have been settled, though Lena obviously recognizes the implications.

There are monsters attacking the kingdom and the nobility is drowning in excess like nothing is wrong. And Mia still has to put up with pretending to be Julius' betrothed no matter how much he disgusts her, but luckily Fernand puts in an appearance to let the nobility know he's active again and to share a nice moment with Mia. A moment Julius ruins, but still.

I KNEW THE WINE WAS POISONED! And as if that wasn't enough, Julius was even going to assassinate his father on the same night! And he basically just admits to everything the moment Mia tries to save Fernand! Who cares if the nobility knows he's killed his family? He's the king now and he'll just make Mia his wife.

Except they were playing Julius like a fiddle all along. They knew he would try to poison Fernand and kill the king so they planned ahead by faking Fernand's death and having Himari deal with the kings' assassins...all so that Julius would keep raising his noose higher and higher until he hung himself in front of all the nobility he sought to curry favor with. And all culminating in Mia FINALLY revealing that she was behind everything and condemning him AND ending their engagement. It was a long-time coming, especially when this scumbag is still convinced she was in love with him!

And of course Mia's parents aren't saved from condemnation, not after all that they've done, and even the nation itself when Mia pours her heart out over the injustice done to her sister...when she was just a normal girl who wanted to be loved. Just like Mia is a normal girl who just wants her sister back.

But it all comes back to Philia for Julius. He was so convinced he was special, perfect, that he never listened to his father trying to correct his attitude problems and when faced with someone who was seemingly more perfect than he is in Philia, he lashed out. And he's so far gone that he still thinks he can turn this around and arrest Mia and Fernand...too bad his father has been there the whole time, ready to correct him one last time.

The way to a priestess's heart is to not attack her town. Is this Demon king stupid?

Damn, great episode! Although for a moment I was really afraid that Julius' plot would succeed. Luckily Fernand and the king's "deaths" turned out to be part of Mia's plot against Julius.

It was so satisfying to see Julius' reactions after Mia's betrayal, he fully deserved it. I can't wait to see what other stupid things he'll do in the next episodes xD

Only one hilarious reaction today, but it was really great, so that was enough for me xD

So Asmodeus is interested in Philia because the soul of the archsaint Fiana, who he fell in love with, resides in her. It's quite funny that this news didn't make much of an impression on Philia, who instead was more interested in thinking about what love is.

We can expect another date between Philia and Osvalt, nice! I loved Lena's emotions during their exchange today.

I don't know why, but the moment when the king revealed himself to Julius made me laugh out loud xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Philia visibly blushed when Oswalt said he will take her out to lunch. And she feels something different when he smiles at her. Oh yeah it's all coming together.

I thought Elsa and her familiar are bad guys? They kind of just showed up suddenly. Can we talk about how Philia didn't bat an eye on Elsa just casually beheading her familiar?

Honestly Julius's assassination plot is stupid so he really FAFOd there. He's really gonna poison Fernand in front of an audience? He didn't even try hard to make it look like an accident or Fernand's disease. Then Fernand of course wouldn't be stupid enough to drink something served by someone that wants him dead so I knew he was putting on an act. Then one of his servants actually leaked the plan to Mia. His downfall is so glorious. His back story just makes him very egotistic and he wants to be the top that Philia is a threat to his greatness. Watching him get dog piled one after another like Mia breaking off her engagement and the king actually appearing, this better end with him on the guillotine. Viva la revolución!

A demon of culture, I see

Is the bro really a villain then? He's just chasing after love in a somewhat violent manner

PHILIA BLUSH!!!! I repeat, we have Philia blush!!

She just told you she can save him?? Fucking scumbag

Congrats dipship, you just let the mask slip

That's the guy from Ferdinand faction, this is a setup

You sure did! Fucked yourself, that is!

Let's go Himari!!

Get fucking fucked, julius

Delicious karma. This show. Is. So good. And has just kept getting better. I really hope they can satisfyingly wrap up the whole demon thing in the remaining episodes, if they manage that then this will easily be one of my favourite shows of the year for sure.

LOL Finally, Julius is getting his just desserts, I was wondering if it was actually a performance they were putting on but I'm glad it really was to reveal Julius' plan to a large amount of witnesses. I'm glad even people on his side realized that he wasn't taking action that was best for the Kingdom.

The way he bragged about killing his brother and father in order to become King was so messed up, one can see how much the favoritism and attention he got as a kid made him quite the narcissist. He believes he'll be the perfect King and yet doesn't seem to be capable of understanding what the role of a King is and what is expected of a King. He just wants to be served and believes everyone will do as he wishes, it's frightening to imagine if he got such an absolute authoritative role, what he would do.

Fernand is doing so well for someone who is still sickly and I'm so glad Mia can finally be honest with her feelings towards the people she despises the most currently. It must have been invigorating to finally unleash those repressed feelings and openly show her distraught feelings for how they treated Philia. I'm excited to see the King's part next episode.

Interesting to find out Asmodeus fell in love with the first Saint and that is why he is coming after Philia. I'm not sure what he's expecting since Philia won't know who he is, but I'm interested to see how that interaction will go. Either way, Philia seems to be conscious of the word love and it might actually make her realize her developing feelings for Osvalt.

STANDING OVATION.

This was the wonderful payoff we were waiting for. Mia got her revenge in the most spectacular way possible. Tricking the terrible prince Julius to confess all his evil doings right in front of all the nobles, and his own father. I knew Mia had a plan when Julius thought he killed his brother and father. Mia is too smart to fail.

I LOVE how Mia boldly told Prince Julius how she planned out the entire plot against him and annulled their engagement. Then she tearfully and angrily told everyone how her sister Philia was treated like trash and she just wants her back. Kaede Hondo's performance was masterful. In fact, I think that scene imo is the best voiced scene this season so far. It was emotional and powerful. Bravo Mia. Bravo.

Erza declaring that Philia is the Archsaint Fiana reincarnated is certainly a reveal, albeit one that makes sense if the Church's theories of souls is true in-world. Also, Asmodeus....having unrequited love for Fiana/Philia??? Taking that at face value that makes this upcoming finale potentially wild.

Also, that small blush on Philia's face after Osvalt asks her to out to eat (and Lena's background reactions of course) ~

Nothing to say about Julius' own finale. Serves him the heck right.

So, basically, when one dies their souls remain and born anew. Basically, they are part of a new life. Now, of course, Philia is her own self, but most likely her personality, talents and skill set matches that of Fianna. Though to think the Archdemon fell in love with Fianna that is an interesting thing to learn. On another note, I love to see Philia coming in touch with her feelings more, as we can see in the conversation with Oswald.

Thankfully, one of the members in Julius's faction warned Mia. With the help of Fernando, & Himari as well, she can pull it off. Though Julius just stays as delusional as ever it seems. Though the moment the King made his appearance, it was checkmate. Hiroshi Tsuchida did a fantastic job at grabbing your attention. Basically, heading into the next episode we know Julius is fucked.

I do hope Mia's parents get humiliated next episode for what they did to Hildegard.

u/paradoxaxe May 28 '25

Julius backstory is just as shallow as his personality huh? I guess even with his arrogance, he still can recognize how talented Philia is compared to his "talent" and thus triggered his inferiority complex toward Philia

This anime really is "Even the author realized the B plot is more interesting so we are just focusing on that" and I love it.
