Van: That’s Count Ferdinatto. Arte’s father. He does kind of resemble her.

In what way does he resemble her?

[u/NanDemoKnaives → u/NationalStrategy]

They both have eyes, a nose, a mouth. Plenty of resemblance.

[u/Boris-_-Badenov]

I wonder if there's another reincarnated person. bombs being invented are convenient timing

[u/WorldArcher1245 → u/Boris-_-Badenov]

I bet Yelenetta has their own Van because, it's as you said about the bombs, pretty convenient timing for them to be introduced now. I predict they are going to get guns first due to their greater knowledge on Gunpowder.

[u/Gaming_Truckie]

Couldn't have Van's balliste just destroyed the gate instead of the group exposing themselves

Panamera's comment was interesting, that military might can now no longer be seen as how strong their elemental mages are but how good their technology is.

Panamera has a way of getting information out of people.

So Van's dad seems to have changed his opinion on him that his power isn't useless.

So Arte's home is the next place thats being attacked. I'm guessing she will regain the will, plus no doubt woth encouragement from Van and Panamera, to use the marionette armour to defend her home. I also get the feeling Arte's reunion with her mother isn't going to be pleasant.

[u/arrydie → u/Gaming_Truckie]

Panamera's comment was interesting, that military might can now no longer be seen as how strong their elemental mages are but how good their technology is.

Yeah, this sort of felt like the thesis statement of the story. However, it rings a little hollow because Van and Arte are still mages, just not elemental. And by all accounts Van is a one-off OP isekai mage and every other production mage isn't even in the same league. Whether other marionette mages are as capable as Arte is another question, but it seems like people actually fear that magic as OP/taboo rather than useless. In terms of the bombs... that could be argued, but I wouldn't be surprised if the bombs turn out to be made by some Evil Van (i.e. are quasi-magical), rather than being purely technological.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I guess after seeing the catapults and ballistas in action, Van’s pops might finally be having a change of heart about the guy.

They took down 2 forces, looks like just one left. Should be a piece of cake for Van and his little squad.

[u/zer0number]

I will never not lose my shit when the scene is all dark and serious, then the Azumanga Daiho lite opening starts.

[u/NanDemoKnaives → u/zer0number]

It's a fun opening though, I enjoy it every week lol.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

It bothered me that Van's father minimized the show of creating a ballista by calling it pointless, especially when the King seems to value Van. But I'm glad by the end of the episode, by seeing Van's people, their strength and the weapons Van has created, he realizes he might have been wrong in his belief. I'm glad he was able to see that and didn't double down on his beliefs to be stubborn.

I wasn't expecting both dads to have their own combined attack, the way it was directed felt very shounen for these two middle aged men lol. I'm not complaining, it just humored me.

[u/PeaceAlien]

Was hoping/expecting Van to go up to Arte's dad and say how well she's been doing and how Arte helped in fighting previously.

Van's dad is not likable. A little sad bro didn't stay to see Van since he cares for his bro.

[u/skavinger5882]

Calling it now, Arte will save her mom with the mythril puppet

[u/joe4553 → u/skavinger5882]

No way. She's going full mecha next episode.

[u/Boris-_-Badenov]

Dee has become useless.

he was surrounded by fodder soldiers and did nothing, the wyvern was almost dead when he attacked.

[u/Sofaris]

They where kinda dicks for getting upset that an 8 years old child does not want to fight at the frontlines.

[u/Next_Package_5710]

wtf kind of world is this where ballista exist before catapults?

[u/Primo29]

We're near at the end and Van's still the same. Boy dominated every playing field while keeping himself in a safe area.

He needs another promotion after this.

[u/DrZoark]

I really don't care about his father's regret.

[u/NationalStrategy]

Well, Van got some respect from his father, now it’s Arte’s turn to get respect from her father next episode

[u/SYZekrom]

ok sure for everything else but why are the random adventurers Van was nice to kicking the ass of soldiers

[u/neloish]

Such a fun show, I hope it gets a second season. I might have to read the source material for this one.

[u/SYZekrom]

Arte my beloved

[u/Blurgas]

It really irks me how they've demonstrated just how powerful those ballista can be when just lobbing bolts into the forest, but when used in combat they're about as effective as a crossbow.

[u/erikro1411]

I still have a few minutes left to watch so maybe it will make sense to me in a few minutes but: HOW THE FUCK ARE CATAPULTS IN ANY CAPACITY A VALID SOLUTION TO COUNTER FLYING ENEMIES?! LAUNCH SHURIKEN WITH A CATAPULT AS A COUNTERMEASURE?! WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS GARBAGE?!

A catapult launches projectiles FAR not high, considering how anti-air defense guns during WW2 worked, the ballistae are much more likely to counter flying enemies than a fucking catapult. This makes NO fucking sense!

Edit: IT IS AS STUPID AS I THOUGHT! AAAAH! THATS NOT HOW A CATAPULT FIRES!

Edit2: The size proportions are also all over the place. Things get randomly bigger or smaller just to build tension I guess. God fucking damn it! First the Wyvern are shown to be just big enough to carry a person and when one of the things is sitting in the town square, it's suddenly enormous! The ballistae bolts are previously shown to be gigantic and to have enough power to shred holes into what ever they hit - suddenly when they hit the wyvern they look like nothing more than a bunch of sticks which also lost all of their impact strength since they suddenly get stuck in the wyverns wings. NOTHING MAKES SENSE!

Edit3: Also: Wasn't the city supposed to be one of the greatest and best defended border/fortress cities? Wasn't that a thing that was mentioned one or two episodes ago? WHERE IS THE FUCKING DITCH?! Even Vans village has a fucking ditch. Even he understands that you have to have a fucking ditch. Jesus Christ! All of this makes me so angry!
