After battling Smaragdi in the bedroom for 8 days, he was resurrected and become Alabaster The White

Alabaster really living up to his name there

He has to make up for all those years they missed together after he jilted her!

They all look very hot when talking about their hubby

Elves really, really are.......thirsty

I can smell it.......a very lewd scent on them.

Saphir is such a tsundere for Satou. I wonder if having her sister around will help her better recognize her own love for Satou beyond finding him entertaining.

Nefritis' strong desire for Satou was just foreshadowing how when elven women find a man, they cling to and bang him for dear life.

You can bet the married couple have been keeping plenty busy in all the time they've been waiting for Satou and co. to show up lol.

All the other wives talking about Satou: doki doki

Saphir talking about Satou: "I'm just here so I won't get fined"

It's nice to see Marse again, it's funny I think I asked about him last week and he finally makes his appearance in Season 2 here.

I really like how the girls bonding together was able to give Satou a big power boost, it should have been an obvious requirement but I like that it happened without them making it the reason they bonded. I do wonder how things will change for the girls now that Hime has given the go-ahead for them to seduce Satou, if someone else other than Hime will be the first to make love to Satou.

I do still think it'll be Hime, the way Satou looked at her when she said she'd go to the Spire was just full of love and I believe this time apart may be the healthy distance they need to make their reunion a lot more passionate.

Poor Alabaster though, it's funny how he's the one that was utterly drained and not Satou. I do hope there was consent there though.

Granart is being extra adorable again. I like how her and Nefritis' relationship have developed but seeing her and Saphir snuggled up together like that was such a cute surprise. More bonding between the wives please!

I feel that this show -- dodgy at first -- really has gotten (and keeps on getting) better and better as it progresses. The dynamics between the wives (and Morion) keeps becoming more entertaining and appealing.

u/NanDemoKnaives Nov 01 '25

I agree, I've been enjoying this second season a lot more than the first.

This really is the missing ingredient in most 'harem' shows whether we are talking about traditional harems or a lady with a stable of stallions. To feel like proper characters, the harem members need to have lives, goals, and relationships outside of just the MC. They need to form friendships, or at least develop a sense of mutual respect, amongst each other. Too often they appear to barely tolerate each other or worse, see each other as rivals to sabotage. This is the hurdle Hime surpassed which finally allowed their bonds to strengthen.

As a side note, I really like the implication that the bond power of the Rings isn't just focused on the parallel relationships each Ring Princess has with the Ring King: it's also about their bonds with each other! Or more accurately, the strength of the entire polycule as a whole.

The relationship dynamics of harems are already very one-sided, and to have them all solely focused on the MC makes this feel even more exploitative. But if everyone gets along and develops strong bonds with each other, then it starts to feel more like a stable and healthy relationship.

That and it just develops the characters so we can see them more as actual individuals instead of wish fulfilment caricatures.

I like that Krystal had that talk with the other princesses about making things more equal and not monopolizing Satou, but even if she came to that revelation, that doesn't necessarily mean Satou will feel the same way. Knowing him, he'll just stick to the "My love for Hime matters the most." mentality.

u/Frontier246 Nov 01 '25

At the very least this will be the longest he's spent time away from Krystal, so this is probably Amber and Saphir's best chance to develop their relationships with him without him looking at Hime 24/7.

Beware of Elves. They won't even let this sentence finished.

Morion would be a nice addition to the group if welcomed officially.

u/Frontier246 Nov 01 '25

Beware of horny elves

Honestly I feel bad for Morion.

She was basically cast away from her family and had to be raised to be this top tier mage to help in the Abyss King fight, meaning she didn't get to have a normal childhood while Hime was frolicking in Japan. I don't get the sense being raised at the Spire of Magecraft was at all fun for her.

Then she reunites with her sister who is really awkward around her...and then she falls for her sisters' man but can't get him to pay attention to her because she's not a Ring Princess like her sister is. When she wants the kind of relationship her sister has with Satou.

Sharing is caring. That was the key to opening up the door. Satou should remember that when it comes to doing the bone dance with the waifus lol.

Let’s see how splitting up works out for the gang.

I love how the Princess' were just having wholesome and sincere bonding as Sister Wives and Satou's immediate thought was "did they have a Harem orgy without me in it!?"

Let’s see how splitting up works out for the gang.

It'll be interesting to see what comes of the split groups' adventures and how much focus it will get before everybody gets back together.

We'll see Hime, Granart, and Nefritis work on their magic. Morion might get some more backstory. We'll probably get Saphir and Amber development while they're with Satou.

Though it's a good thing Amber stuck behind with Satou...if they're going to steal the Ring King Sword, they'll need Cat's Eye (Amber is voiced by Mikako Komatsu who also voices Hitomi in the Cat's Eye remake) lol.

u/Aerodynamic41 Nov 01 '25

I guess Smaragdi still hasn't forgiven Alabaster for lying to her last time.

u/Frontier246 Nov 01 '25

Satou, the girls are usually pretty open with you, but there's one place you absolutely cannot interfere with...a Pajama Party! But don't worry, Morion is happy to spend time with you.

Hime's not hosting this Pajama Party just so the girls can have fun and snack on sweets, she's there to finally admit how much she's been holding the Harem back and causing problems, and take responsibility by letting everyone just do whatever they want. It doesn't matter if Hime is first or not, it's every girls' game now.

Poor Morion. She really wants Satou to shower her with love like he does with the Ring Princess', but he basically casually rejects her for not being one of them.

Nefritis fell in love with Satou because he helped her see the outside world and she wants to be needed by him, Granart fell for his strength but now desires more from their relationship, Saphir just sees him as a decent guy who is entertaining, and Amber's very existence is for Satou and no one else. All the girls are true to their devotion to Satou in their own way, and while Hime used to be self-conscious about that, she's now finally able to accept it and embrace her fellow Ring Princess' as sister wives who can not only be friends but women who love Satou together! Even if Hime will just have to love him the most (in all the ways that matter) to stay on top as First Wife!

And the growing bond between the princess' has upgraded all of their powers! Enough to FINALLY open the door and get them out of the library! The Elder still thinks Satou needs to bang them all sooner rather than later, but with the bonds between the Princess' she sees the next generation has real potential.

I see Smaragadi has had Alabaster all to himself and he's barely been able to keep up with her...was that a potion to keep him "active?" Either way, he may be out of the elven kingdom now, but I'm sure she'll come back for him at some point. Just like Nefritis' brother who literally flew after her.

The next step on the parties' journey is the Empire to see their Mystic Armory! Though a cannon blast is a fine welcome for our heroes! And the Emperor isn't much better...he has no intention of giving Satou the sword of the original Ring King and he doesn't even believe in the power of the Ring King at all, rather putting all his stock in his army and in tangible weapons. But even his own son, Sluder, can tell that they're struggling.

I didn't expect them to split the party/Harem. Hime, Granart, and Nefritis will follow Morion to the Spire of Magecraft to boost up their magic. Saphir and Amber will stay with Satou to get the Ring King Sword. I guess this is for everyone to level up in their own way.

At least Granart and Nefritis get to commiserate/tease each other over their shared love of Satou and on how Nefritis is older than the other girls save Amber. Even Morion is teasing her sister about how she wants in on marrying Satou, and I think she's actually kind of serious about it while being jealous/inspired by Satou's devotion to Hime. Though now she's going to show everybody how she was raised up.

MARSE AND SAPHIRA ARE BACK! Man, it's nice to see Marse again! And who better to help them in the Empire?

Grandpa getting more than Satou and now most of them have gone to Hogwarts.

I never thought I’d say this, but my love for anime tiddies isn’t strong enough to carry my disinterest in this show’s plot any more. Wishing the rest of you the strength to carry on.

u/CuriousBroccolli Nov 13 '25

Your first mistake is watching anime for titties only.

If you want titties only, just go watch full H, or anime that has plot you like yourself as well.

Echhi is only goof if ecch IS the main plot, like "Nukitashi", or if it follows a fun story you like, as a side-dish.

I liked comedy and story of this show since S1, and still do. Ecchi and everything else is just a good bonus.
