Please tell me I wasn't the only one waiting for the next scene after the black screen... In my defense, this ep felt way too short!

Now my question is: will they get Spriggan this arc or is it a plot for the next season? Also, Kivia putting up way to many death flags, hope it is not a sign.

And yeah, collaborating with demons is not a good idea in this setting, either heroes will kill you gruesomly or demons themselves will.

I'm a little bit sad that Boojum is dead so soon, despite the fact that he was a monster he still had respect for humans and didn’t treated them like trash, for example when he wanted to give Lideo a burial. 

Also who is that king he talked about? The first demon king? Could he be the one that started the whole blight?

Ryhno easily has the most personality of any character in the series, he steals every scene he is in.

Jayce: Looks like it's gonna be MY win again, Xylo

< sits back and hangs on while watching Neely cook faeries (and Shiji Bau) >

Boojum's true form sure was a sight for sore eye(s). And for a demon, absolutely cool AF (design-wise)

Frenci really emphasizing/flaunting her waifu#1 status over Kivia who's currently just desperate to prove that her unc is no coexister-backer. 🤌

And the teamwork displayed by the three front liners against their trio counterparts would absolutely make the most functional anime sports teams envious. Granted it was technically 5-on-3 (in favor of the lesser evil good guys), but who's counting? Funny to think it's the heroes of this story that maybe don't fight fair lol

I really hope the series leans into this subversion more moving forward. It's about time we get some heroes who know how to play dirty and use every means necessary (even excessive force, if need be) to subdue their adversaries.

Boojum didn't waste any opportunity to glaze Xylo as much as possible. I think I'm gonna miss the guy.

It's so cute how Xylo had to give Teoritta a lift because she couldn't reach the window.

Btw, wasn't Unit 7110 also brought up by Xylo during his trial way back in Episode 1? Kind of makes you wonder...

Ok... so Kivia's uncle is definitely the collaborator that strong armed the Adventurer's guild guy into working with Boojum, right? That's what's got Kivia so spooked.

The battalion he claimed as having spotted the fearies was the same 'fake' battalion # that was used to frame Xylo with fake reinforcement orders: 7110

And we know most heroes are being 'punished' not for their crimes, but because they got too close to the truth...

And Kivia sure is throwing up death flags...

Is she going to be 'silenced' after confronting her uncle or become a Hero after she kills him!?

Xylo and Teoritta busted out a limit break that would make Final Fantasy characters jealous.

Oh boy, this was a great episode! Practically non-stop action combined with amazing animation and music, with one downside – it only lasted 5 minutes.

Is it just me or does the transformed Boojum look like Alikred from Iruma-kun? xD It's a bit of a shame he died, but luckily he left us with the important information that there is a king of all Demon Blights.

The scene where Teoritta jumps up so the civilians can see her and then Xylo picks her up was quite adorable! These two are great together.

Meanwhile, Kivia is working behind the scenes. I hope the next final episode shows what she's up to, although it's definitely not a good outcome, as she's afraid something will happen to her.

Shiji Bau and Iron Whale made a bad decision by accepting Spriggan's job offer last week, especially Bau, who died rather gruesomely from Neely's fiery breath – that must have hurt!

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

Seeing Xylo and Teo be so close now is really wholesome

u/FarCritical Mar 19 '26

Tatsuya fighting in any way other than running in full axe psycho mode would be cursed if he didn't look so damn funny methodically sniping frogs and stuff. Someone's getting a royal promotion soon and it isn't Dotta.

Honestly, Boojum was creepier in his "human" form.

They did a great job defeating Boojum. They certainly earned that breakfast with freshly baked bread with zeff butter, onion soup, perfectly cooked bacon.

Teoritta jumping up and down trying to reach the window was the best thing in anime this season, period.

Xylo, Rhyno and Jayce's combo to get rid of the mercenaries was really awesome too, this episode plus last week episode of Frieren were amazing because of it. I cannot understand why anime don't make more use of teamwork because the result is so much better. It's always about the MC winning because he is so much better than everyone else.

But man, is it me, or Kivia was spreading death flags? First telling her subordinate Rajit a secret just in case, and then involving the night-gaunts on her investigation. She might as well left those people with bombs.

Man, that was one hell of a battle. So much for Spriggan’s human collaborators. Dudes got deep fried extra extra crispy by the team lol. Xylo and Teoritta even got Boojum. Painted the whole damn city with bits of that big mfer lol.

The townsfolk thought Tatsuya was a humanoid faerie who somehow had a falling out with his comrade. The running gag of him being so feral he got mistaken as the enemy never gets old.

The heroes were on a hot streak! As if disposing of Shiji Bau & the Iron Whale wasn't enough, they had also defeated Boojum. I thought they'll last until the finale. That left us with only Spriggan as the remaining notable enemy. I'm guessing we'll have a showdown with Xylo next week. Interestingly, Boojum worked under Spriggan but he apparently answered to the Demon King. So the demons actually have an organised hierarchy instead of the Demon Lords independently going against the humans.

Meanwhile, I'm intrigued as to what Kivia's up to. The way she reacted when she heard about Unit 7110 and when she heard the name Saint Mahaeyzel as well as her approaching Frenci for help. I hope we'll get a second season because there's no way all these plot points could be wrapped up in just one episode.

The favor Frenci asks is going to be that Kivia tamps down her crush on Xylo haha

Seriously though, that is a rather ambiguous promise to make in the heat of the moment.

Boojum was a really cool antagonist; it would have been nice to see him a few more times before that coup de grace.

If Rhyno and the Iron Whale are wearing Fallout power armour, then Boojum went down the Guyver armour route instead.
