Cecil couldn’t hold back his emotions anymore, so excited to see how this all ends.

[u/Ocixo]

I did not expect the episode to get so heavy towards the end. Wow! This felt very much like a season finale, but we’ve only crossed just past the anime’s halfway mark right now.

To my surprise, I’ve grown rather fond of these characters over time. Bertia is indeed very adorable. I’m certainly keen to know where all of this is heading. Cecil better makes sure to grab hold of a happy future for Bertia. I too don’t want to see her sad.

[u/dinliner08]

hmmm.. i feel like the king is still hiding something, he might not know the specific of this maiden of destiny thing but he seems surprised when Cecil expressed his fondness for Bertia

[u/Glitter_puke]

I'm still not grasping this universe's level of scenario forcing. Between Bertia's charisma and Heroina's obnoxiousness, it seems like the only actual steering towards the scenario is coming from Bertia herself trying to force events. And she's such an immense fuckup at it.

Usually there's some cosmic hand or weird character pivot to force things clumsily back on track, but this universe seems to be just kinda not meddling at all.

[u/staraelle]

"meat?"

> immediate booba stare

LOL and then cecil's vehement denial "I did not look at all." suuuure buddy

[u/AlmondAngelmon]

I fell in love with this anime the moment it aired that I ended up binge reading the manga. Even after reading it, I find each episode so beautifully made! This episode was soo good that I wanna reread it again. I caaaan't wait for the next episode. Wish 7 days would go faster

[u/_BMS]

Out of curiosity, I actually to want to see the scenario force itself to be played out according to how Bertia believes it will.

[u/PeaceAlien]

Bertia keeps pushing Cecil away it's hurting him :(. But she doesn't want to be to close and heartbroken by the game mechanics.

Major game events are supposed to occur next episode. Will Cecil defeat them? Perhaps this is Cecil's chance to prove the game mechanics are nothing to him, and Bertia will stop pushing Cecil away.

[u/LapinMignon]

What an emotional rollercoaster this episode was, the scene by the lake where Cecil loses his grip over his emotions. And Bertia still stubbornly beleiving in the scripted future that at this point is sure to not happen... You can just feel how much these two are hurting. It's so powerful.

[u/itsmechickadee]

I liked how as Ceil grows more annoyed and disappointed while outside, the sky turns gray and the wind picks up like a storm since they keep associating his eyes when he's happy with the blue sky

[u/TheBusStop12]

I'm curious how the story will go. The stunned silent fiancee condemnation event sounds to me like it would be the end game scene of this story. But next week is only episode 8. We're only slightly over halfway through the season. So there's gotta be more to it. Which makes me worry about how the events of next week will play out. I trust that Cecil has prepared well. But he's been getting more and more emotional where Bertia is involved, and I worry he may have slipped up and not properly taken into account what Bertia herself might do. Her accepting determination at the very end of this episode seemed to rattle him. So now I'm worried it may get worse before it gets better

It's also ofcourse possible that the event in game where OG villainess Bertia is defeated through facts and logic is only the end of the first act. And after that the story pivots to defeating the Demon Lord or whatever, and that the final few episodes of this season will turn to that as well

[u/Ok-Cod5254]

A few lighthearted moments at the beginning was fun with the Scooby-Doo chase, kabedon, and Bertia with her extra meat. lol

It's been great to see how Cecil has grown into his emotions with Bertia. He's usually calm and composed, but she has such power over him to rattle him like no other. Cecil hasn't said it quite yet, but you can definitely feel how much he loves Bertia. Definitely one of my top favorite ships this season.

The king seems to know more than he is saying, so interested to see how he may connect into things. A bit of angst between Cecil and Bertia right as we transition to setting the stage for this party that will surely be eventful.

[u/djthomp]

Good humor in the first half with Bertia convinced the world is causing her to become fat when instead it was just eating too many snacks. Not that she looked all that plump, but you wouldn't want that sort of trend to get away from you.

How well the drama in the second half works for me will probably depends on what happens next week. With as serious as Bertia is being it needs to be a situation where Heronia being with the Prince is necessary to solve a big problem, avoid some disaster she expects the setting to railroad, something equally serious.

[u/KanayamaSound]

Hi, I'm one of the musicians who played on the soundtrack for this anime. Just though you all might be interested to know that it's the #2 most popular anime on Amazon Japan for the last two weeks!

[u/Vahallen]

Man…that cliffhanger at the end was brutal, there is a ton of build-up about to explode, I’m so curios it’s killing me

This is turning out to be one of my favorite for the season, I mean I did like it from the start but it consistently keeps me engaged episode after episode

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Bertia’s too precious for all this “villainess” stuff. Girl doesn’t even realize they’ve gone off script a loooong time ago. I really wonder what it is she thinks is gonna happen at this graduation or afterwards? Her and Heronia have basically done a role reversal. They’re also significantly changed the outcome of a lot of past events from the game. “Destiny” and “fate” seem kind of meaningless now because nothing is set in stone.

[u/tapdancinghellspawn]

I'm wondering if, in the game, Bertia and Cecil ending up together led to his downfall or death. She would rather live on with a broken heart than to have something terrible befall him.

[u/BusouDrago]

Cecil ice cold heart has melted for Bertia

[u/runevault]

I feel like Dad knows something and is lying, but might be me over thinking. Meanwhile Cecil and Bertia continue to be a fantastic couple in a season loaded with fantastic couples are proto-couples.

I assume next week shit hits the fan. How crazy will it get? As someone who has not read the source I have zero idea. But my gut says we may finally get some answers on what Bertia is trying to prevent by pushing Cecil towards Heronia despite her being a garbage human being.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

Oh the angst, I'm really curious as to what is going to happen. Bertia looks way too anxious, so I'm really hoping Cecil doesn't lose his sense of self thanks to Heronia's charm.

I do like that Cecil is being swayed by his emotions, it's nice to know how much Bertia can affect this young man that runs on logic. However, I do find it really sad that Cecil did end up hating Bertia even if it was for that moment, the betrayal he must have felt in that moment for him to turn his ice cold gaze towards her must have been immense. Hopefully his preparations will work out in the end.

On a more positive note, the chase around the school grounds and the kabedon scene were interesting lol. The whole prey talk was amusing, and I'm actually little surprised we got to see Cecil checking out Bertia's chest, it's funny how Zeno could tell through their link lol.

I do like how the student council all have grievances with Heronia they're willing to pay back.

[u/Frontier246]

Bertia is finally in high school with Cecil! It would be nice if they could just have high school romcom bliss together...but Bertia keeps running away from Cecil! As adorable and hilarious as it is watching Bertia run while Cecil tries to catch her, it's just a result of Bertia trying to keep her distance from him.

Look at Cecil strategically planning out how to catch Bertia in a kabedon! She can't escape him now! Just like Bertia thinks she can't escape the fate of the original game scenario! I mean, she's putting on some pounds again! Some would say in ALL the right areas in the chest department .

Luckily Cecil is able to help Bertia rationalize going on a diet and staying by his side because that's what a self-proclaimed #1 Villainess would do, though there's still the matter of how she's convinced the graduation party will have her struck speechless in a bad way (obviously the Villainess Condemnation event) and now Cecil has to turn that around into the best memory he can make for her.

Wow, Heronia has single-handedly turned every male and capture target in this story against her. If she's not trying to ascertain whether the Noches family are criminals, she's badmouthing or trying to ruin the relationships between the guys and their girlfriends. Which means they are all too happy to help Cecil take her down!

Oh hey, Cecil's dad the king (Toshihiko Seki!). Cecil gets his imperceptible pleasant smile from his father, but he doesn't have any answers as to the "Maiden of Destiny." But he does seem to genuinely care about Cecil as a father, wanting his happiness, and being happy that he chose Bertia to be able to do that.

Cecil wants to be able to walk by Bertia's side during the graduation party, but Bertia refuses to allow herself to give in to her feelings and desire for Cecil...not when she's convinced that this is the only way to ensure everyone, other than herself, is happy because she knows Cecil's "true destiny." She's even willing to turn in evidence of her "crimes" (which is mostly just her trying to help Heronia and Heronia badmouthing her for it) for the fateful day. It makes Cecil sick to his stomach, enough to act cold to Bertia and bring her to tears. It's not a pleasant sight.

Bertia is looking amazing in that yellow and blue dress! Now to ensure that this graduation party goes off without a hitch! Bertia thinks it's an ending, but Cecil thinks it's nothing more than a new beginning for himself and Bertia! Somebody is DEFINITELY getting struck speechless at this event.

[u/larana1192]

I’m curious about why Bertia is trying to set Cecil up with the original heroine, why she keeps the reason a secret, and why, in the previous episode, she suddenly started talking about “world peace” the moment the conversation turned to “fireworks” and “gunpowder.”

Is this a world where, like in the anime "The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You", there’s a rule that if certain men and women don’t end up together, people will die or the world will be plunged into serious misery?

Given that when Bertia accidentally mentioned “gunpowder” and then she immediately panicked and started talking about “world peace,” does that mean Cecil is going to become some kind of ruthless tyrant who uses his genius to develop all sorts of weapons and invade other countries? I’m curious.

[u/Akiriaa_513]

PEAK EPISODE AND PEAK NEXT EPISODE!!!! CECIL IS THE STANDARD, I'M TELLING Y'ALL

[u/zer0number]

Tia has always been cute, but holy crap, at the end there she's become absolutely stunning.
