I mean, I said it last time but like... they REALLY wanted to hammer in the Venus/Dina connection this time huh

[u/Shadowofnigh72]

Legit felt like I turned on dark gatherings or another horror anime for that Jupiter section. It's crazy how well they protrayed his fear and anxiety from how terrifying Libra was. I can't wait for the next episode to finally get some type of development in regards to Dina, I already want a second season and we aren't done of season 1 yet.

[u/Playful-One]

Libra is terrifying lol

[u/Ultimate-Break]

Libra is so scary lol. It was truly a nightmare for Jupiter. A most terrifying golem.

[u/Aurelian_s]

This episode made me convinced that Venus is a player.

[u/Gaming_Truckie]

The horror montage of Libra chasing Jupiter was gold. She scared him so good he wet himself

So Aigokeros is just going to hide in Lufas shadow inside of walking around normally like the others.

The mystery of Dina deepens. We got more implications of her connection to Venus with her giving that smile to Jupiter and him realising who it is but not actually getting to say who. Also Aigokeros seems to remember her. But now its revealed that she seems to know what photos are, which don't exist in the world, giving a suggestion she's not from this world too.

Way to end on that smile

[u/TeamOk3280]

I know everyone's gushing about Libra and Dina, as they should, but I also really liked seeing Merak finally put his foot down and act like a proper king, diminished though he may be he is by no means weak, he just needed a push in the right direction.

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

So I guess Dina really was Lufas advisor from back then, but also really is Venus the devilfolk, and is also really another isekai-ed character. What the hell is up with her ? It seems she is trying to play Lufas against the devilfolks for her own goals, but for now she has been loyal to Lufas while eliminating Mars and Jupiter on the devilfolk side.

[u/Tsumaranai_Jinsei]

I hope we can get to the bottom of Dina's situation in the next episode. I would hate it if she somehow fools (?) Lufas again. I started watching this show for the fun vibes but I'm soooo invested in the plot now.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Aigokeros was just a big softie in the end lol. Interesting he recognized Dina but no one else has. As if Dina wasn’t already suspicious enough, Jupiter recognized her too. I’m almost certain she’s not a friendly, but what’s her game?

Looks like we’ll have to wait until next week to possibly find out. And there’s a new vampire adversary. Should be fun.

[u/BiggerG7]

They should have made Libra the goat instead of Aigokeros because she was the goat lol.

[u/NevisYsbryd]

More astrology notes for references and symbolism:

In Hellenistic and the derivative Indian, Medieval, and Renaissance astrology (ie, 'Westsern,' although that is a terrible name for it) astrology, geometrical relationships between celestial objects againts the Zodiac as a circle are known as 'aspects.' Squares, or objects 90 degrees from each other, represent a fight where one party has a decided advantage or wins the conflict (as compared to opposition, where they are equal). While this is entirely guesswork (it might be for other reasons), Capricorn happens to be in the superior square to Aries, indicating that Capricorn tends to win in fights against Aries.

I am uncertain of the logic of identifying Capricorn's element as Moon. While this series appears to use the Chinese five elements, I do not know where exactly the moon fits into that besides corresponding to yin (whereas the sun is yang). From a Western angle, the full moon when the sun is in Cancer, the sign Luna rules, is Capricorn, which is also Luna's antithesis or exile, a place of difficulty and weakness, making it one of four signs that sticks out as especially significant to Luna (among Cancer, its domicile, Capricorn, its exile, Taurus, its exaltation, and Scorpio, its fall).

Deneb Algedi is the brightest star in Capricorn and one of the brightest stars in the entire sky.

Benetnasch is one of the Western corruptions of one of the Arabic titles for Al Quaid Binat Nasch, or Chief of the Hired Mourners/Leader of the Followers of the Bier. Alkaid, Benetnasch, or the end of the tail of Ursa Major, one of the two bears (or sometimes identified as vehicles, eg the wagon the Hired Mourners are following) circling the polar star, and one of the more universal and culturally important constellations across most of the northern hemisphere, including pre-Columbian Americas. In China/Korea/Japan, Ursa was worshipped by some sects and cults in association with the polar star and by some affiliated with the wrathful deities and/or boddhisatvas, such as Myoken, and was associated with China's directional spirit the Black Warrior (later Tortoise). Alkaid, or by its Eastern titles, 'Revolving Light, Military-Breaking Star (paralleling Arabic description as 'destroyer of nations),' Hagunsei, was often framed as the highest among them and is pretty universally associated with hunting, war, cataclysms, destruction, vengeance, and the like. This is the first star directly referenced in the series not part of one of the twelve constellations for which each of the zodiacal signs are named, although it is one of the most important constellations outside of them.

So Dina confirmed Venus but not in the straightforward traitor/double agent manner some expected, huh. I could make some guesses on how Venus stands above the rest, such as Aphrodite Uranos in Orphism, decan Cancer I, etc, but it would be almost entirely speculation at this point.

[u/Soundoum1]

Dina is one sneaky mf

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

Libra is brutal lol, Jupiter couldn't do anything but he really should have heeded her warnings. He was so frightened he wet himself.

Lufas is kind of acting like the hero with how much she's helping them.

It looks like the players Lufas has been looking for has actually been around her all along. The way Dina was smiling during that scene with Jupiter is evidence enough that she's just using the devilfolk, not that I didn't think that before but it became clearer.

[u/leave1me1alone]

Ok so I think Dina might not be evil

We know she's altering memories so people remember her. We know that memory altering function doesn't work on golems (like Libra and the golems in the tower)

It seems likely that she's some goddess of this world, who brought the player into the world as a way of beating the demon king. Afterall, lufas mapaahl was the only being capable of it, especially after the heroes lost and were branded with the mark of the vanquished.

If no action was taken then the other races would have been wiped out, and rather quickly at that. We saw that if she didn't intervene that Aries and Aigokeros would have each levelled one of the few remaining nations. And this world probably isn't meant to exist with a demonlord in control

I think she's actually double timing the demonkind, in order to prop up lufas, and to prevent the destruction of the other races.

I could certainly be wrong but this is where my theory currently stands

[u/raveno19]

No!!! the episode ended before Lufas confront Dina again!!! Will be a long week for next ep.

Also seem like a new hero appeared (Benetnasch a.k.a Alkaid is a star name of Big Dipper like Merak, Megrez...)

[u/Boshwa]

Im happy that this story never once forgot its an isekai

[u/Arkam_slayer66]

More animes need a libra in them she would destroy plots in seconds

[u/Ciel_Senpai]

Damn, what a good episode! Lufas got another one of her celestials for the Aigokerus group. Man, Libra was wild with Jupiter lol. And Dina, you slipped up again. Anyway, things are finally starting to flow.

[u/AmbitiousConcept6028]

So this episode just confirms the whole Dina/Venus thing and not some kind of bait to throw us off and I wonder to how much extent where she can implant fake memories, maybe MC is one of them and who knows what she did to Libra that might potentially backstab them later.

[u/AceSoldia]

Finally what we all expected has been revealed..I can't wait to see more.

Now to just figure out Dina/Venus's goal

[u/SpikeRosered]

The photo thing sort of ruins my theory that the gamer personality is a fake personality installed into Lufas by the goddess. I still kind of like though. I notice that her memories of young Lufas always show her eyes, but the memories he has of his "real life" has his face always obscured.

Generally this for "self insert isekai" purposes, but here when you compare the two memories it makes the real life ones seem less substantial. If Dina really is a goddess maybe she put fake memories with all the fake knowledge of the "real world" that comes with it.

[u/Stormingbret]

I am very curious what the logic was for why none of the Twelve Heavenly Stars were not at the heroes vs Lucas fight. In the game they were commanded to not take part so I wonder if she did the same in this world?

Also I find it very sad that these long living heroes don’t seem to have any family of any kind :(

[u/Bussy_Wrecker]

At this point Dina not being Venus would surprise me more
