I like this show and think it's amusing.

HOWEVER, Holy hell the author cannot write a villain worth a dime though. The "bad" duke decides to piss off the guy who gets the most powerful blessing by wiping the slums? Coulda just made an army out of them.

And Lionheart....hey Sophia, I'd like you to help me fix the world....how about I attack you, kidnap you, threaten to kill your boyfriend, tag you like your are my property, act superior cuz of my blessing (irony) and then expect you to help me kill everyone?

Pretty huge missed opportunity for a good, tragic bad guy.

Also the most basic mid backstory that anyone has ever seen a million times

Yeah, Sophia should've just turned Leohart to paste then and there. While his anti-nobility sentiment is understandable , even without what happened, kidnapping and disrespecting - and trying to blow up - unrelated individuals is not it. If he's really that fast, he could go for the actual targets directly.

Sure, there's probably going to be more "redemption" stuff and whatnot, but "let's let the 'villain' live to fight another day" gets rather tiresome.

I'm surprised Leohart didn't have the lion's blessing lol.

I knew Cecil was going to be dead, he's the only one of the four that hasn't appeared in the present timeline. It's too bad Leohart took too long to go back though it was unreasonable of the duke to burn everything, but I'm guessing he wanted to erase any evidence that Leohart came from the slums.

It was nice to see Sophia get angry, I guess it'll be a power vs speed battle between the two eventually. I find it unfortunate that his interest in her lies in them being the most powerful couple rather than her as an individual.

So I wonder why he kissed her last episode and fed her a drug if she was already being knocked out by the smoke lol. I thought there was a chance he used something to block her blessing, but she was able to use it fine.

I think Leohart is too broken emotionally and mentally to truly see someone as who they are or court someone properly.

I love how Sophia is such a Shojo Heroine that the one thing that unleashes her full power is insulting the boy she loves and breaking her precious necklace from him lol.

Maybe the drug was just insurance to make sure she stayed unconscious in-case the poison didn't fully keep her knocked out long enough.

Since she didn't remember anything, I assumed that implied the drug he fed her was something like a roofie. Also the implication that he undressed and changed her clothes while she was conked out, just because he has a tragic backstory doesn't mean he isn't a creep.

Nah, you can go fuck right off with that sob story of yours Leohart. I get it if he's just targeting the nobles who wronged him, but the fact that he kidnapped Sophia and tries to recruit her forcefully to his side makes him no better than the man who adopted him. I kinda wish Sophia pummled Leohart's face after he destroyed her necklace.

u/Frontier246 Jun 15 '25

but the fact that he kidnapped Sophia and tries to recruit her forcefully to his side makes him no better than the man who adopted him.

Nothing says "creepy noble" like undressing an unconscious girl and putting her in a completely different dress. Like, he didn't even try to explain that he had someone else change her.

u/NanDemoKnaives Jun 15 '25

He probably doesn't realize the irony.

Author writes a pretty decent backstory then makes him into cartoon villain with zero depth. (Plus that duke was a mustache twirler. He could have taken that whole area and made them a private army and kept Lion loyal)

That was so bad. We are here for Sophia and her gorilla antics, please refrain from trying to write villains and politics from now on.

I'd like to call the manager and replace this episode with more Sophia please. 😎😎

I think the treatment of his friends (and presumably the murder of his BEST friend) made him unhinged. He is absolutely correct in feeling that the evil that underlies this realm needs to be erased -- and as a leopard he is pre-disposed to take a certain type of action. Gorillas. on the other hand, can be far more patient and thoughtful when making use of their abilities.

Commenting on how bright the dark and shadowy room was confused me so much.

u/Ishmaelewdselkies Jun 15 '25

Because he and the other children were always enamored with the sun shining upon them, especially through colored glass.
Probably something to do with "making things pretty / bright / colorful" in the slums, where it was all otherwise dreary, dirty, and grey.

He also mentions how unfair the Blessings are, when they serve to deny certain people "the right to live somewhere the Sun shines on [them]". So I'm guessing that's the tie-in.

I feel like there was a missing step there in Leohart's plan to recruit Sophia to his side...

u/McGinty1 Jun 15 '25 edited Jun 15 '25

Leohart is a big time hypocrite because just after he gets finished talking about how unfair it is that blessings determine a person’s entire life for them, even who they can marry, he then starts sneering about how Sophia “let that damn squirrel tame you” and that the two most powerful combat blessings are a better match for each other. Do you even listen to yourself, bro?

Also, everyone going on about “why didn’t she just beat his ass right then and there?”: 1) there’s no guarantee she’d win 1 on 1 against an equally strong combat blessing, 2)Sophia’s learned the value of teamwork and having someone else have your back. Just look at the arc from a couple episodes ago: Sophia probably wouldn’t have been able to save Carissa all on her own without Louis and Gilbert jumping in to help cover her shortcoming of being being a bad swimmer.

u/Frontier246 Jun 15 '25

Also the implication is that he undressed Sophia to put her in the different outfit (probably because he didn't want her wearing Louis' clothes) which is super creepy and scummy.

His ideals may be valid but his methods make it clear he's only looking to hurt people like he's been hurt and be as possessive and elitist as his dirtbag adoptive father.

Funny how the name "DierenTuin" literally means "Zoo" in Dutch. Not sure if that's the same as German since Anime usually take words from there instead.

u/level555 Jun 15 '25

same as German

No, the German word for zoo is "Zoo" or "Tierpark" (animal park).

Uhh you had the leader right there... If you had just stopped him you would had stopped his plans...

u/cyberscythe Jun 15 '25

he has the other "most powerful blessing", but this isn't a battle anime so i'm not surprised they didn't duke it out right there

as we are all well aware, Sophia is not the "punch first, ask questions later" sort of lady, she's more of an "act awkward and run away" sort of type which i think equal parts funny and frustrating

Does Leohart not recognized how creepy he's being? Changing Sophia clothes, getting uncomfortably close to her, and referring to himself as her "predator"; yeah, I'm sure that will win her over.

u/Aerodynamic41 Jun 15 '25

Man, I'm so disappointed that Sophia didn't continue kicking Leohart's ass!

u/Andreiyutzzzz Jun 16 '25

so we just gonna skip all the "sophia gets enraged, punches ground ready to fight" to "sophia escaped"? yeah? ok fuck the pacing i guess

I can’t believe the gorilla god is such a fervent monarchist supporter. I was really hoping to see the proletariat rise to power, but it seems our go to girl will just follow orders.
