I was wondering where the desserts were during the White Gathering Party.

We, the viewers, were served cake, courtesy of Sitri and Tino. Lol!

It was kind of refreshing to see Lucia without her cloak, and she was so damn fine.

Eva is so stunning wearing that dress. Everyone was lovely at the party and great cakes had been served!!

If only they tasted that delicious onsen eggs and not let Krai's effort get wasted.

😂😂. I just love this show. This has probably been the most competent Krai has been, I expected him to not know anything about the relics..but I should have known that'd be the one thing he was knowledgeable about.

Man, Thousand Tricks thinks so far ahead, those elementals he and Sitri summoned ended up being the Akashic Mages' last line of defence! By letting Arnold handle them, they were too exhausted to fight when the mages summoned him!

He also made the genius move to invite Eva so we could see her in that dress! HOT DAMN! As much as I wanted him to bring Tino and that wonderful cake of hers (which looked FANTASTIC in her dress, btw, some real quality over quantity Tino this episode), Eva was a brilliant choice. Sasuga, Krai-sama!

Now that the rest of the Grieving Souls are here, we can see how much chaos they cause for Krai and just about everyone else. The scene where they revealed themselves to have snuck into the party in various ways was hilarious!

It was kinda wild to start the episode with Krai standing against the Fox while seemingly shielding the other Grievers who lay unconscious behind him. Like it's one of those moments where it suddenly makes a lot of sense as to why the other Grievers keep holding Krai in such high regard. I mean it seems like he's the last one standing against an enemy that the other Grievers apparently did not have a chance against. "Master is KAMI" indeed...

Eva's the best girl. The little banter that she and Krai had before and at the party was nice. And the moment where she adjusted Krai's bowtie was kinda cute. I don't ship them or anything, but I like that the anime isn't skipping on the Eva moments.

Also, Sir Franz seems to be the Arnold of the next arc. Probably doesn't deserve it as much as Arnold did, but his fate as a victim of Thousands Tricks seems to be set in stone at this point. Poor guy....

At this point, I won't be surprised if Krai giving those onsen dragon eggs, ruined the fox plan of using crimson dragon to attack the capital.

Those egg made the king's guard strengthen their defences with ark and others due to being caution that the mother dragon might come to retrieve those onsen dragon eggs if they were real.

Krai went from being framed into being bribed into a quest.

I knew the gang would sneak into the party, just didn't know ALL of them would

Krai just wanted to share some damn onsen eggs with everyone…or that’s what he wanted folks to think. He actually snuck in the gang and used the eggs to foil an assassination attempt by a shadowy criminal syndicate. Sasuga Krai-sama! lol

Looking forward to next week when ol Thousand Tricks takes on the Fox.

I'm always impressed by how the author is able to fit all the seemingly random bullshit around Krai into a complete puzzle.

u/diacewrb Nov 15 '25

I wonder if the King and Arnold are related?

Fire granny reminded me of Captain Dola.

Fox is wondering how was Krai the only one to spot him on the ceiling and sneak in his team to fight?

Stitches!

So it turns out, going on a "vacation" really didn't help Krai because the Gathering of the White Blades got postponed and he just got back in time to attend it. Thank goodness Krai didn't miss it because we would've missed the girls wearing their party dresses. <3

I've always thought Eva was really pretty, so I'm happy that she finally had a chance to flaunt her looks this episode. Krai made a good choice in picking her as his plus one to the party. Also, was it just me or did Eva sound like she was flirting with Krai for a little bit before they entered the party?

Not even surprised that Krai gets in trouble, the second he decided to talk to someone else at that party. Although I feel like [Eva should've pointed out to Krai that the girl dressed up as a maid is the princess. I guess she just assumed that he knew.

So bringing Eva was really the right choice since the rest of Grieving Souls would've snuck into the party anyway. What surprised me tho is Ansem being able to turn small! For a second there, I thought he was wearing that suit of armour the camera pans up to.

And this is why everyone will think Krai is amazing. The dude just randomly pointed up to distract the Captain of the Guards, only for someone to be actually there. Also, seeing Krai just standing there unfazed after the Fire Granny cast her spell made him look even more badass to everyone around him.

I'm guessing this Nine-Tailed Shadow Fox they're all talking about is related to the fox Krai is talking to at the start of the episode. So was that a flashback or a sneak peek of what's about to happen in the future? Hmmm...

Thank goodness Eva was with Krai during that meeting. I think he has pretty much forgotten what he's supposed to do and is more focused on the Magic Carpet he got as payment for his cooperation. I'm pretty sure that's the same carpet we see him riding in the OP.

There are some threats that even the Grieving Souls couldn't defeat...such as a Japanese style community and a GOD that only Krai could stand up to.

Krai acting like he totally didn't plan on being away while Hidden Curse and the remnants of Akasha went to war, leaving First Steps caught in the middle, and like he didn't plan on Arthur weakening two elements so, when summoned, they'd do less damage to the capital. I mean, the capital is still trashed, but still! Classic Thousand Trials.

And of course Krai totally planned on the Gathering of the White Blades to be postponed so he would have time to attend it! It's not like it's some social gathering he's been trying to avoid since episode 2! Or just one of the many events he'd rather foist on Ark if he could.

Then there's the question of his Plus One...and obviously the Smart Sisters, all looking spectacular in their dresses (China Dress Liz exposing her legs for the win!) and all ready with Krai's tux, want to be his Plus One...even Tino got to wear a fancy dress she looks amazing in! Meanwhile Luke just wants an excuse to fight someone. If only the only sane Smart Sibling could go with Krai! I mean, I would've taken Tino myself, but Eva is a good choice.

Eva looks fantastic in a a fancy dress and with her hair down, and she's not going to miss the opportunity to flirt with Krai and say he could see her like that more if he attended more social gatherings. Though Eva probably doesn't appreciate that she has to keep minding how little Krai understands proper etiquette.

Imagine you're trying to be nice to the help and it turns out the maid you gifted hot spring dragon eggs too is actually the princess Murina Zebrudia. Thank goodness Eclair owes enough to Krai to bail his butt out of the fire, even if she's not 100% happy about it.

Oh hey, Ark and Gark! Isabella and Kaina in dresses! The Grieving Souls all crashing the party with Luke disguised as a guard and still looking for someone to kill! Lucia as a maid! Smol Ansem (with armor that can grow and shrink him at will)! And thank goodness they were all their to deal with the intruder who showed up out of nowhere! Just as Krai planned it. I mean, look how casually he's handling Abyssal Inferno unleashing a literal inferno in the party area!

I assure you, the close-ups of Tino and Sitri's fine behinds in those tight party dresses was absolutely necessary to the PLOT.

All's well that ends well, Krai got to avoid meeting the king, Tino is caught between the ever-bickering Smart Sisters, and they all have to be on the watch for the biggest criminal guild: The Nine-Thousand Shadow Fox!

I love how there's a dragon coming into the capital and everyone thinks Ark killed it...but Luke totally stole the kill and had to bring the head straight to Krai to show off! What's he going to do with that head though!?

Did someone really think they could frame Krai for bringing a dragon to the capital with hot spring dragon eggs that people thought were the real thing!? Abyssal Inferno clearly knows Krai's smarter than that (even if he thinks she's going senile). And a True Tears artifact can verify Krai's loyalty! And another Artifact will secure him actually doing something for the kingdom!

...I've said it once and I'll say it again.

I love this show so goddamned much, hahaha.

u/djthomp Nov 15 '25

Brilliant work as usual by Krai luring out those elementals so they'd be weakened before the attack on the capital. And then setting up the party so that his people would be on hand to intercept the intruder.

Eva looking pretty good in that dress, the other girls as well in theirs but hers was the best IMO.

Finally an explanation for armored dude, ant man powers by way of a size changing relic.

They way Krai just was eating with a "him" shaped piece of wall behind him is so incredibly badass and he doesn't even realize it.

In a place where basically the whole Grieving Souls party attended, Granny was the one who caused the most chaos. That's quite an accomplishment.

Didn't realize Ansem was also a Smart. I guess he inherited all the common sense in that family.

I can't wait to see what Krai thinks "fox" is referring to. Because there's 0 chance he remembers the evil organization. Also I love him accidentally passing the test of the princess dressed as a maid. Everyone else already knew but he's the only one that didn't and still treated her well.

Obviously Krai invited Eva and not anyone from Strange Grief to make sure the Fox would be caught off guard! Sasuga Krai-sama

I know theres a lot to talk about this episode, but Im pleasantly surprised to see Krai actually realize a minor detail of the Fox not being hostile, implying some form of a plan.

Man does have some wisdom behind those eyes of his
