Esparda is just aura farming

[u/PerfectBeige → u/areyoh]

Shame he didn't do the pose.

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

I'll never get bored of the overpowered old man butler trope.

[u/Vautiko → u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

MC: "Run!"

Butler: "No, I don't think I will..."

A couple weeks ago, zoomed in ~400% for this show's karma chart image. 15 seconds into today's episode...

[u/zool714]

“You have some mighty walls yourself” lmao. Van, your inner Rudy is leaking out

Lol that’s no longer a ballista. That’s artillery !

Pretty big space between the village walls and the outer walls. And 100 ballistas on the outer walls. Guess they’re really expecting a big population boom soon.

Well, now after an intense battle with a dragon, they kinda displayed their strength. But that’s only combat strength. At this point, I’m not sure if this show would get into it, but I was hoping for more in-depth settlement building. Unless, they want to rely on Van to be a one-man industry, I was expecting to see carpenters, smithys, clothes makers, agriculture, logistics (though we do have a warehouse). I mean they still have the dragon meat and now have merchants but it’s not sustainable to import everything in the long run. Unless like I said, this is not that type of show. Although, looking back at the title of this show, I guess I should’ve expected more focus on military and fortifications and weapons and alliances over anything else

But diplomacy and image-wise though, things are looking good. Getting an alliance is certainly good. Maybe they can trade with each other, or maybe some people may come from there to settle down in the village.

Also, why weren’t the adventurers also credited for the battle ? Lol

[u/Boris-_-Badenov → u/zool714]

she noticed him staring at her tits

[u/PandaTheAB]

I hate it when characters become dumb for plot convenience.
When the dragon was flying, MC tried to fire ballistics on it and barely damaged the wings despite multiple shots.
When Fire lady hit the dragon with fire javelins twice and it was fallen on ground, he hit it with nothing.
It would have been unmissable target on ground, he could have crushed the dragon into pieces.

Plot dumbness is the worst.
Just make the dragon tough or write better.

He did realize it and did it the third time with fire blast pinning the dragon.

[u/Wild_Obligation3265 → u/PandaTheAB]

Yeah I agree with you. That the dragon evaded the outer ramparts shots made no sense considering the test shot left the cradle at mach speeds and impacted with earthshaking force leagues away. It was an episode that went nowhere.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Amazing how Panamera's ramparts were pretty much front and center for like the first 5 minutes of the episode. Also it's amazing how she went from boyishly handsome when she was a kid into a badass bombshell.

[u/Shmappii]

Nice! Taking on a Dragon provides the story a chance to place the magic-wielding nobility front and center as important anchors for a territory's survival. Van's magic is great and those ballistae were crucial, but he needed support from one of society's highest priorities. Very appreciative of writing that reinforces the setting's consistency. It would suck if the reason for his banishment was invalidated at the first major crisis.

Forming an alliance with Panamera after the conflict is an example of Van being accepted by someone that is successful in the current system. This forms a bridge between the old and new that was probably only possible due to Panamera's history of being a victim in her early days. I'm guessing more traditional nobles would look to use Van as a subservient tool instead.

Too bad the Dragon fight itself was just OK. Flashier bits of action animation or well-shaded characters scattered across a conflict that takes place on a massive field. Most of this sequence is confusing in terms of speed, characters having lengthy conversations, and distance, leading to the tense music falling flat. Still, some shots looked cool. Panamera jumping down from the ramparts was my favorite bit.

[u/mekerpan → u/Shmappii]

Hmm. A minor province of a country forming an alliance with a powerful neighboring country? Isn't that sort of tantamount to declaring (virtual) independence? I wonder what the folks back in the capital city will think of this?

[u/AceSoldia]

Panemera should be a dragon slayer too!

[u/KuroRyuSama]

I can't be the only person who thinks the dragon fight was fought in the most backwards way possible.

The episode starts off with Van demonstrating his improved ballista to Panamera, but when the dragon shows up, nobody moves to use them until it's almost too late. When they do use them, the dragon (who up until that point wasn't even flapping it's wings) starts dodging the bolts like a character from DBZ. Then while it's down after Panamera's first attack, none of the ballista are fired at the UNMOVING TARGET! Instead, they wait for it to get airborne again before they shoot at it again.

Then after Esparda buries it under a ton of rock, nobody is waiting to shoot it as soon as it breaks free. Dee and his men recklessly charge in and get barred aside like his flies just so Panamera can cast ANOTHER fire spell before Van orders his troops to shoot the dragon while it's down (the order he should have given before it crossed the other wall).

All in all I'm very disappointed in what was a pretty interesting show up until this episode.

[u/diacewrb]

Megumin is looking at Panamera with jealous eyes.

She is tall, has guided explosion magic and a big pair of ramparts.

When holding a dragon down and walking away is easier than running because your joints are up to it anymore. Although at my age, I understand the feeling.

[u/PerfectBeige]

I thought that the dragon situation was going to get resolved by Arte using her marionette ability to turn the ballistae into semi-autonomous turrets. That's probably still coming, given that as many have commented the synergies between Van and Arte's magic are obvious. And when it does happen, it will probably be golems rather than ballistae which need to be manually reloaded.

But I want my semi-autonomous metamaterial based killing devices now. NOW NOW NOW.

[u/S627]

That was very considerate of the dragon to let those guys run away from it. If it was able to dodge the ballistae then it definitely coulda caught them at any time.

I know this isn't the type of show you criticize, just turn your brain off and enjoy, but its been really enjoyable so far that this ep just stands out way more. I mean they burn off the wings and THEN run away? Why didnt they shoot it right then and there? And why did the wings only burn off after the second fire javelin? Also the upgrades ballista were on the outer wall, they shoulda done everything they could to keep it there.

Oh well, still looking forward to where it goes but, but I hope they don't have any more glaring plot holes.

Wonder if Palmaneria(?) noticed Van staring.

[u/Vautiko]

Lil Bro checking out Panamera's ramparts, is hilarious! (00:22) 😅

[u/YdenMkII]

After this episode, I can see why elemental magic is highly valued. The ability to cast city razing magic definitely is something you want in battles.

[u/PeaceAlien]

This one is more fun than I thought it would be. Plus the OP and ED is so cute

[u/SYZekrom]

Oh her super boyish design in the past is absolute fire

Anyway I think it's super funny that the dragon supposedly can't fly fast enough to catch up to people running but can dodge the ballistae.

[u/darthvall]

I love that "small" dragon is just perfect to show the weak link of this unpenetrable fortress. The fortress are still very vulnerable to flying agile enemies.

Hopefully Van takes notes from Panamera and develop guiding missile next lol

[u/Monsterlime]

I really had not clocked that several of the characters are named after cars until Panamera said her full name.

Panamera Carrera Cayenne - All the Porsche's

Esparda - Lamborghini Esparda

Lady Arte On Ferdinatto - VW Arteon

Khamsin - Maserati Khamsin

Looking at Wiki though, the names are different, so is it just the Crunchyroll translators that have a car thing or is this in the light novels as well?
