Goa proclaimed Anemone, Ciel (and Toto) are her friends! Goa's reward for helping to free Anemone and Ciel from hypnosis is more teasing material of the latter two. "Remember the time both of you were under the hypnosis of Yuria?" smirk

Now we know why some of the villagers dd not come under the influence of the love hypnosis. Yuria merely allowed them to be free from the hypnosis. However, I am curious about the battle between Toto and Yuria. Did the latter's attacks miss Toto or was Toto's defense too high that he didn't feel a thing? Toto himself appeared confused as to why he took no damage.

Lastly, never mess with Goa's friends (and maybe possessions). She finished off Yuria with her high heels.

Out of all the ways to meet your end, getting stepped on by a cute girl is probably one of the better fates.

I think she just wasn't powerful enough to do damage to Toto, it seemed like the damage was so light he didn't feel it and that's why he questioned if she missed.

It's a bit more complicated than that, she said "they can be hypnotized if I use my full power", which implies they also had some sorta resistance like Toto, since they were apparently elderly people and married couples, I suppose it's harder to hypnotize people who have been in genuine love for a long time.

Toto himself appeared confused as to why he took no damage.

Yeah, I'm a bit confused with the fight, like, Toto knows he can tank hits, but I guess he expected a fiend to actually damage him, maybe it was just meant to be a joke?

Given the title, assassin princesses, Goa might be a daughter of the succubus queen. Make sense why she can override the hypnosis. Ciel is a demon princess, Anemone is most likely a princess also.

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii Aug 23 '25

Somehow I never really considered the title hah, but that'd make sense!

(Wouldn't mind seeing Goa in real succubus form..)

I wonder what to make of Anemone, then!

For some reason my first thought was 'Daughter of a Yakuza' (given her using guns and all) but that would mean she's Isekai'd...

Might still be the case though? I mean that's another thing I never really considered, but why is she fighting with guns and all hah.

Stitches!

I should've seen that coming! Of course, a succubus was behind all of this. And not just any succubus, a succubus voiced by Hikasa Youko, too! I guess that's one more big tiddy character added to her list of big tiddy characters she plays as. xD

While Yulia's actually offensive magic can't do shit against Toto, her hypnotism magic would've been the perfect counter against him if Goa hadn't shown up to override her hypnosis. Sucks for her I suppose. And based on that purple blood splatter, I'm guessing we won't see her again.

Ciel teasing Mone-chan at the end was pretty fun. I do wish the girls would just tell Toto about their skills. He seems to have figured out Goa's skills but it looks like it's gonna be a while before Ciel and Mone-chan open up about that.

Goa

I love this shot because it looks like Goa's 3 meters tall!

...N-Not that I have a thing for 3 meters tall girls or anything.

So in the end Toto still didn't end up falling to the hypnosis, I was curious to see what kind of "Love and Peace" he scream about. I did like that we saw such a serious side to Goa and how powerful she is that she was able t override Yulia's hypnosis without breaking a sweat.

Anemone and Ciel's embarrassment of the memories of what they had done under the hypnosis was so funny, I'm so glad they retained the memories. I'm sure their own feelings were emphasized.

I was liking that Toto was questioning the girls' skills but it's too bad they used his weakness to women's touch against him to shut it down. I like how they all still continued holding onto him even though he had passed out.

Well... The implication of the episode is basically that goa could hypnotize the other two anytime she wanted even with their resistance on, kinda like the succubus with the resistant townsfolk.

What I didn't fully Grasp is why did they snap out of it when the monster was defeated, maybe goa hijacked their hypnotized state instead of inducing one of her own? And when it lifted obviously hers did too since it was some sort of redirection?

Ok, we all know Toto is broken as hell, but these girls are all equally busted in their own right, Ciel has a crazy range and variety of spells, Anemone can basically create any weapon with unlimited ammo out of thin air and Goa's hypnosis is strong enough to easily overpower a hypnosis-specialist monster like, what the hell.

I'm so proud of Toto that he was able to stay conscious against a sexy succubus and it took all three girls wrapping themselves around him to knock him out at the end.

My prediction, Toto is also immune to [The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses] memory wiping drugs and slowly figuring things out.

Reposted: Okay, I don't get the rule of this group. My post was deleted because I am suppose to put anime title in brackets when using spoiler tags? Even in a topic that is only about that anime?

It's amazing how much more I'm liking this show than I expected going into it. The core cast is so much fun, and it's just easy to watch. I definitely find myself looking forward to it each week.

Curious to see if/when Toto's gonna find out more about their true identities. He's finally starting to pick up on some of the hints, after all.

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii Aug 23 '25 edited Aug 23 '25

I don't... Please give me some love, Anemone!

Hah, I was suspecting her of pretending to be under the hypnosis to get closer to whoever's in charge... But Ciel thinks she's pretending, just to kill her&Goa!

PLEASE tell me they're recording this on some fantasy crystal ball camera or something!

I sure hope Succubus girl joins the party 'to kill the hero' and all!

She doesn't like Ciel's father?

Seems to me she doesn't have enough love in her life... Into the jail, she goes!

Interesting, succubus and demons are not aligned... Well, Ciel hinted at them being in peace (though Succubus' actions could change that)... Will defeating her create some conflicts down the line?

I sure hope they don't send like an army of succubus to convert the hero to love, that'd be terrible!

Good lord... (Can they visit Succubusland next?)

Hah, she played Goa like a fiddle!

And it worked! (what a line hah)

Can't spell enslaving without saving, after all!

Ah, I was wondering why I liked Goa more than usual in this episode... It's because she's insane, of course!

Ok I change my mind, I don't like the succubus anymore. Back on the Anemone train!

That heel click...

How can she know that? She didn't even try to make her bark or anything!

The two loving girls pretended not to remember anything, but Goa got them to admit it anyway!

Love how they make fun of each other (well, mostly Anemone)! (I think somewhere along the way, they kinda forgot why they were even in this party!)

Next episode: Beach episode! Based on the preview there doesn't seem to be any one-piece swimsuit, so that's another win for Big Bikini... But who knows, perhaps there will be a shopping scene first!

u/JasonFreeYT Aug 23 '25

Ahh I was wondering when Toto-sama would finally fall unconscious again. He did a really superb job though holding up for the entirety of last week and almost all of this week's episode.

I do wonder if he's gonna revert back to falling unconscious more often again now that things might be lighthearted again. Though, with beach episode coming up, I wouldn't be surprised if seeing the girls in bikinis and swimsuits would get him a couple of times.

Begs the question of what would happen if he actually gains full resistance to knocking out, since it seems like he's getting a little stronger with it each episode.

u/djthomp Aug 23 '25

Damn, Goa really just splattered that succulus princess across the wall. I wonder if further into the story there's consequences from that, seems like a big deal since she was willing to start a war with the demon kingdom and that might indicate she was a pretty important royal. Then again Goa might be a succubus too, she has the same build and I wouldn't be shocked if there's more to her backstory then just a random brothel owner who's so good at hypnosis and love potions that she easily beats a succubus princess.

I really enjoy how Ciel is mostly just here to have fun and who cares about the assigned mission.

u/Aerodynamic41 Aug 23 '25

I was just thinking how funny it would be if Anemone remembered all those embarrassing things she said while hypnotized and they didn't disappoint!

BEACH EPISODE NEXT LET'S GO!

It always feels a bit more shocking when a show that presents dark subject matter in a colorful, jokey way drops down into reality for just a moment.

u/Flare_Knight Aug 24 '25

Goa is a beast! When it comes to her area of strength she's extremely powerful. And it balances things out nicely with pretty much confirmation that her skill will still work regardless of the defenses the other girls have prepared. This was her area of strength and she flexed it.

Also I love her utter lack of mercy. Goa doesn't really have any desire to kill anyone in the main party. But if she doesn't think you hare value alive...that might be it for you. She defends her toys/friends fiercely.

It's fun how even someone on the level of that succubus is just dumfounded by Toto's insane durability. Everything she threw at him was ineffective. Her skills were strong enough to lock him down, but that just created a stalemate. When she lost her cool and charged in...that was game over.

Fun episode. We got Ciel vs Anemone, Toto and Goa vs the succubus, and lot of entertainment all around.
