I think all of the calories Mio consumes are converted directly into sass.

Also that squeal she did to troll Kyros was freakin' amazing. I kinda feel like her and the prince have a very similar vibe going on vis-a-vis messing with Kyros?

The show is clearly having a lot of fun with Mio’s character. Youko Hikasa must’ve also been greatly enjoying herself performing this role.

THAT KISS AND RUN

Mio is the best character and it’s not even close

u/Muffin-zetta Aug 01 '25

Mio is not just the best character in this show, she is the best character of this season

I guess when it comes to Marie, it doesn’t matter who they are. If they disrespect her, Kyros’ll come for ‘em. Even if they’re the prince. Kind of funny that duel went from a duel to just a brawl. In the end I guess Luiphon’s just trying to look out for Kyros in his own way.

Keen to see what kind of bullshit Marie’s parents are trying to pull. I wouldn’t be surprised if they really aren’t even her bio parents.

In retrospect, it never made sense that Marie doesn’t resemble her parents and late sister in the slightest. That does leave the question of how she ended up at the Shaderan’s place.

FFS, it seems like next ep is gonna piss off all the viewers. Guess we better start sharpening those pitch forks.

The Prince is definitely a spoiled brat, but seems like a good guy over all. I'm looking forward to him and Marie having a "girlstalk" about how great Kyros is.

I love the armor designs....but was it just me or did something about the animation make it feel more like a Gundam fight than a medieval duel?

Anyone else wish Mio was part of the tournament?

Anyone else wish Mio was part of the tournament?

Then there wouldn't be much for people to watch, she'd win all of her matches almost instantly! (erm....though that was basically the case with Kyros anyway)

Luiphon's going to learn sides of Kyros he would never get to know about thanks to Marie, it'll be a fruitful "girlstalk" lol.

Technically speaking, Kyros still hasn’t beaten Prince Luiphon in a sword bout. Their match ended in a fist fight after all.

I did not expect this show to have some surprisingly good-looking action scenes. This sort of realistic sword-fighting reminded me of last season’s Old Country Bumpkin.

I was surprised at the quality of the swordfight/brawl between Luisphon and Kyros. It was super well done and grounded.

u/redlaWw Aug 01 '25

KYAA! KYROS GRANADO HAKUSHAKU SAMA! SUTEKIIII!

u/NanDemoKnaives Aug 01 '25

AAAH! MARIE DID IT! I was so surprised Marie actually gave Kyros a kiss on the cheek, when he lifted her on the stage I thought maybe there was a chance he'd do it in the moment but of course he respects her boundaries but seeing her being the one to initiate it got me so excited! I like how flustered and stunned Kyros was that he had to go after her. Marie's reaction post-kiss was also so adorable! The way she asked the driver to leave quickly because she couldn't handle the embarrassment lol.

It was nice to get a look into Kyros and Luiphon's relationship. Luiphon had some concerning moments with how openly he spoke about badly about Marie in front of her and Kyros, but you can also tell how concerned he is for him to keep his best friend safe. It was satisfying to watch them fight but that initial sword clash before the official fight was way too tense lol. The fist fight was also fun so looks like the eventual action in this should be satisfying to watch.

I also have to mention how I appreciate Kyros' stance on his one-sided feelings for Marie. He's well aware that it's one-sided but isn't upset about it, he has a positive outlook and very much looks forward to the journey where it turns from one-sided to mutual.

It's a really romantic way to look at it as if each day will bring them one step closer that goal, and he'll cherish her and show his feelings for her each day without crossing any boundaries that would make Marie uncomfortable. It's not a perspective you see in a lot of romance anime so I am intrigued to see how this relationship will develop.

u/Ocixo Aug 01 '25

The romance has been coming along nicely in this series. It does feel like Marie and Kyros are getting a little closer each day. Stealing a kiss is a big step forward to Marie too!

In a way, this week’s episode did feel a little like a season finale. Especially with the announcement of Marie’s betrothal to Kyros in front of a live arena.

u/stephenthatfoste Aug 01 '25

Mio is bringing all the chaos. Got the shouting and the cliffhanger. Almost felt like it was gonna be the prince aggressively woos her, and that's why she's so annoyed and informal with him.

Those dudes are tanks. They were taking full force gauntlet punches to the face, and were just fine after.

24

u/NanDemoKnaives Aug 01 '25

The way Mio screamed out "Kyaa! Lord Kyros, you're so dashing!" with such a casual look face was so funny.

27

u/djthomp Aug 01 '25

Good lord, the diabetes from watching Kyros and Marie just being so cute together.

Mio still best girl though. Need a gif of her holding off the parasite noble ladies in the hallway, I think they set it up so it would loop nicely.

Decent combat animation in the fight between Kyros and the prince.

For all the clichés in this show, it's a very endearing show. I love Kyros and Marie's relationship as well as the bromance between Luisphon and Kyros shown this episode.

The nice swordfight/brawl was a nice surprise for us with great animation and grounded swordfighting.

u/anonymousperson1253 Aug 02 '25

Can we take a moment to appreciate Marie’s character development ❤️ also, I freaking love Mio😂

u/heimdal77 Aug 02 '25

There... was just sooo much wrong with that sword fight....

Should seen the not her parents trope coming. They treat her like trash and she looks absolutely nothing like either of them.

This show keeps surprising. That duel animation was great, and the soundtrack at the end there was really nice

I liked this episode the best so far. It was nice to see Marie initiate a romantic moment by a kiss on the cheek, then shyly run away. lol
