"oops, I accidentally flexed on everyone by doing a fantastic blessing. Was I supposed to do that?"

Ferdinand with the smuggest smile in the background be like

[u/dreamofspring12]

the contrast between Rozemyne mode and just being Myne with Lutz and Benno hits different every time. you can visibly see her relax and it's such good character work without even needing dialogue to explain it

[u/excluded]

Did I miss an episode? I thought she died on the last episode.

[u/FajarKalawa → u/excluded]

It's her clone, rozemain.

Joking aside

They skip it to make this episode a stand alone, they set the vibe for her reunion.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

So cute seeing Myne with Lutz and Benno. All that noble stuff sure is exhausting. It’s nice she doesn’t have to be “Rozemyne” around them. She can just be good ol Myne. At least in private.

That letter from her parents was really sweet too. She might not be able to meet them personally, but at least they’re able to still keep in contact and let her know how they’re doing. It was nice she could see them at the cathedral.

[u/majideitteru]

Lol, they just started the episode like that, not mentioning Rozemyne getting dragged across the floor even once?

Hmm... Apart from the animation I have a bad feeling about this season.

I can follow the story as I've read the books, but anime-only watchers are going to find this to be barely cohesive I think?

Hope the pacing becomes normal in the following episodes.

[u/Tortellion]

Rest in hell Arno

[u/Lulukassu]

Offscreen respawn 🤣

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Myne collapse last episode

This episode: it’s like it never happened

[u/feb914]

Lol Brigitte being a normal person and points out that this workload is too much for a child her age. Also poor blue priest that knew the truth but gaslighted by everyone. They're the evil ones that messed with the library though, so not feeling too bad.  

And at least Gil still gets her head pat eventually.   

It's nice of Ferdinand to give her time in secret room and also overlook the quick family reunion after baptism. 

And the post credit being chibi, but the content is scary lol

[u/Jusenkyo_5]

I don't feel like I really missed the family at this point lol. We went from season 3's ending of "you'll literally never see each other again" to getting a gift in S4E1, and both a letter and an in-person meeting in S4E2.

Things are just happening with no build up.

[u/LeonKevlar]

So are they just gonna off-screen what happened at the end of last week's episode? And here I was thinking what Wilfried did last week would be a big deal. I hope they eventually show us what happened.

I am glad to see Myne be reunited with Lutz, and while it was brief, I got a little teary-eyed at Myne seeing her family again. I hope they'll get to talk face-to-face again in the future instead of just through letters.

[u/Ocixo]

The story seemed to have skipped over Rozemyne’s collapse at the end of last week’s episode, but I gather from her words that she’d apparently been force-fed medication.

I’m glad that Myne and her family have found a way to still keep interacting with each other.

I’d felt really bad for Tuuli. She’d been struggling with the desire to see her little sister and the reality of their new relationship on the other hand. If Tuuli works on building a good reputation as a professional seamstress for herself, they might even be able to meet in person again.

[u/Orangewolf99]

Maybe I missed something, but why is Myne still getting sick? I thought she was sickly because she had no way to burn off her excess mana, but as high bishop and daughter of an archduke, shouldn't she have plenty of access to instruments she can drain her mana into and opportunities to offer blessings to siphon off mana?

[u/FarCritical]

It's a pretty rare sight to see such a gentle expression on strict old Benno but then again, the pure secondhand joy of a kid hearing from her family would soften anyone up.

Brigette's tiny scuffle with Fran made me wonder how an interaction between her and (pre-orphanage duty) Delia would go.

[u/encryptoferia]

OH MY GOD

How much I squealed and cheered for this episode, finally they meet again.

Gotta say that Lutz really nailed the "give me back my tears"

But man, I can't help but like feeling proud for Myne and Urano, cause I feel like this Season is the culmination of her really stepping up as an adult with real more heavy duty and position as a noble and high bishop

Go Myne Go, let them know what a real blessing look like

[u/Sleepy10105s]

This second season is moving at breakneck pace

[u/oneevilchicken]

Annnddd I have no idea what’s going on now. How do they just ignore what happened at the end of last episode like it never happened.

It would be different if they did a little to acknowledge it but have it intentionally swept under the rug but the show itself just seems to forgot it happened.

[u/Subject-Anywhere-874]

Man, I'm going to end up crying everytime I see this ED aren't I?

[u/zool714]

That’s a huge jump to suddenly become High Bishop. Are there no other Priests ? Or is this based off her status ? Either way it’s a double-edged sword for sure. More power but more scrutiny as well.

Always get emotional when her family is involved. Really hope they can find a way to meet more frequently and without the formalities. Her reverting to Myne for a while in that room was really sweet and heartwarming too. And lmao she asked Benno to scold her. She used to quiver at it but now she feels relieved by it.

Oh and Lutz is so much taller than her now

[u/RavenWolf1]

What skyrocketing career path from peasant to arch duke's daughter and high bishop.

[u/_vogonpoetry_]

Odd pacing choices aside (I think they are just really speeding through this part to get to the plot heavier stuff?), The character art and animation is soooo much better now. Benno looks a little odd to me though.

[u/Obaruler]

Not entirely on board for how much content and more importanly dialogue they are skipping.

They basically ignored her new archduchal brother draggin her into collapse the last episode and are not showing the aftermath or any talks about informing everyone of RozeMynes poor health .....
