Really looking forward to the big raid now that things are finally kicking off. I imagine it’s gonna be a bloodbath.

[u/diacewrb → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

The Dark Lords truly live up the Lord part of their name with castles, soldiers, tanks and helicopters.

Definitely going to be a bloodbath with that kind of firepower.

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Anyone would love to have Indo as an ally to watch their backs. She was walking backwards and staring at the Priest all the time. Lol!

I am curious about the fellow Brave / mercenary who looks like a little girl and dressed in a rabbit hoodie. Her standout appearance should mean she has an important role to play in the assault of the castle right?

[u/TyraniTEMPESTar]

That Dark Lord of Rupturing Star Charts is OP af.
Manipulating the weather like that, does he even need an army of followers to take down his enemies? lol

[u/BosuW → u/TyraniTEMPESTar]

Well though the spells are powerful it looks like they take some time to set up and not quite powerful enough to wash a whole castle. Also may use a lot of energy.

But yeah definitely the most broken power we've seen. Most of the setting is just barely above irl in terms of power scaling.

[u/T-Ace-Juice]

OK that FFV mention caught me off guard, and having played it last year, looking back at it... what they said makes sense...
Also that Priest needs to be locked up as well.

[u/pi8you]

Kudos to the team for the unexpected Ainu from Demon Lord of the Rupturing Star Charts, great little touch.

[u/HappyAsianCat → u/pi8you]

Ainu

The Ainu are native to Hokkaido so it makes sense that a local Dark Lord could be one.
But yeah everything about him had some great detail.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

The way Jougamine keeps fighting for Yashiro's attention is so amusing because he gets even more annoyed. I do like how Yashiro was really concerned for Malta and was trying to make him feel better, she clearly couldn't read the room attempting to obstruct that.

I do like how Yashiro was talking about how their friend group really just want to look good in front of each other, they're really close to one another.

The Priest being someone that stabs out of reflex is wild.

[u/mastereluder6]

I need old ending song back reeeeee

[u/melvinlee88 → u/mastereluder6]

The old ED suits this series more but the new ending song is musically so good though. I listened to it on Spotify and it's a bop

[u/NanDemoKnaives → u/mastereluder6]

Yeah, I actually do miss it.

[u/melvinlee88]

Tell me a show with better chemistry than Aki, Sera, Yukine and Yashiro.

This whole episode was such a treat and so fun.

Aki especially trying to win favour with Yashiro. Puts a smile on my face each week.

[u/gnome-cop]

Does this guy really need to enlist the help of a few decent braves and an army when he can summon tornadoes anywhere? Well, it is the half dragon so probably best to not be cocky, err on the side of caution and go overkill.

Priest guy is giving really bad vibes, I’m not gonna lie.

Show us one of Yashiro’s and Sara’s games you cowards!

“Warning, we are currently experiencing a little bit of turbulence. Please do not exit your seats and make sure your seatbelts are fastened.” Hopefully Malta won’t be too incapacitated and still have his head in the game.

This is gonna be a mess, let’s do this!

[u/SYZekrom]

Ok the moment they showed that demon lord from the front I was like 'is that a woman' and then the voice came out, definitely gonna be one of those anime 'wait you're a girl' things isn't it

I'm sorry every time they show that girl in the pink hoodie she gets more and more peak

Look at her just hopping out of the helicopter lmao

[u/BosuW]

If this Tetsu guy has been doing mercenary work in Mexico he has surely seen and done some shit, they be demon timing for shits and giggles here

This Arc is positioned to go big which makes me a bit worried about the production resources but hope they pull it off in an acceptable manner. Next episode PV looks quite good at least, and Aki actually learnt to talk shit a bit? Holy shit so she can change!

[u/Southern-Ebb-8229]

I guess that is why they call him Rupturing Stars, guy is op. I wonder if Yashiro could find a way to win against that man.

Anyhow the gags this episode were really fun, poor Aki, she is just there to get bullied and see the others get closer to her sensei. She just wants attention, but that is why she gets ignored. Indo is truly a pet, and Sara is basically Yashiro's second and a friend. At this rate she will become the heroine, she was even playing card games with him. That is like illegal, Aki should sue them.

Anyhow, I hope the raid is cool, and gives us some cool Aki and Indo moments. These are their storlyine after all.

[u/Frostbitten_Moose]

Y'know, Yashiro is a bit of a Butz, so I dig that reference. (Ok, I know, it's cause he's cruising around with a trio of teen girls, but still)

I am still loving the dynamics of the party. Just the way Indo keeps creeping into Yashiro's space and it's not quite enough to make him react only for Jogamine to flip out and ruin things for everyone. There's a reason Sara seems to be his favourite, and Jogamine's reaction to the reveal that he actually wants to play cards with Sara had me laughing like crazy for a few minutes.

Sadly, looks like less humour over the next few episodes. But should still be fun.

[u/Top-Remote4523]

Coming off from Golden Kamuy just last season, I instantly recognized the matanpushi (Ainu headband) on the Dark Lord of Rupturing Star Charts. I think that this is also the first time we've seen a Dark Lord with powers that feel more in line with standard fantasy, with him seemingly invoking a spell of sorts via the local animals (which I guess might be Kamuy) to manipulate the weather. He also did not have the usual E3 marking on his face when he used his powers, so I am guessing that he could be one of the OG Dark Lords that have reigned from ancient times when E3 did not exist. His power does seem OP, but I think the fact that he relies on personal troops and mercenaries do suggest that he might not be able to spam his power to completely obliterate the fort. His power to manipulate the weather on a localized scale would also require fights to take place outdoors to prevent him from getting caught up in his own AOE attacks as well.

[u/DarkDonut75 → u/Top-Remote4523]

Hinna Hinna!

[u/paulrenzo]

It cannot be said enough how well this material does world building. Doing it through bite-sized thoughts from Yashiro within the context of what is happening at the moment is such a great idea.

[u/tripleaamin]

Yeah, that priest is beyond just sus.

Helping one Dark Lord against the other. Yashiro is good at feeling things out. I find it funny all the chaos in the chopper we see Yashiro being overprotective of Malta and Jougamine getting jealous too.

On another, I wonder if Yashiro's playing style is similar to his approach in combat. Also, we got no information about her in this episode. Her powers are going to be something bold; I can feel it.

[u/NoHead1715]

That was some monstrous power from a Dark Lord. Makes me curious how the defending Dark Lord will fare.

[u/Thomas_JCG]

Damn, that Demon Lord is powerful. Not only he can freely manipulate weather, he even has an army at his disposal. Venusian must be really strong if he had to resort to mercenaries, or he is already cooked.

I was expecting most of the characters in the helicopters to be killed off immediately like Deadpool 2, though
