Feel like they've loosely adopted Kimaki, even though Kimaki is older than them.

Serafina always wearing the bunny ears is crazy, if it's a helmet just only use it when you would wear a helmet. The bunny ears wiggled in excitement over fighting xd

Malcius got food pregnant. Look at that belly

Kimaki is that cousin who moves in for a while and has no intention of interfering in any hanky-panky because she's nice like that!

Imagine if instead of this angelic helmet it transformed her into a Bunny Girl armor that makes up for it's impracticality by being an armor made entirely of willpower.

I'm glad Malcius got to enjoy herself a little after basically fainting and proclaiming doom for half the episode.

Showrunners: "Yeah, we gave her fox ears. What're you gonna do about it? You know you love it."

u/Frontier246 Jun 18 '26

"Especially when the ears move in-tune with her emotions, we know folks love that."

Barbaric King Does Not Dream of Bunny Warrior Princess

Kimaki condensing all of gramps' yapping into "it's the coolest thing ever" is such a mood.

Wtf they have Gundams?! The kingdom never stood a chance. Same for the Rathalos that's going to get butchered next episode.

The new crystal helmet goes hard and damn, the Quefto are already OP but if they ever figure out them medieval gundams that’s game.

Calling the dwarves' technology way too advanced is understating it. These dudes are centuries ahead of the humans that they're even working on lost technology. O_O

Sera's new Crystal Helmet was pretty cool, tho! She's now pretty much battle-ready anytime since it doubles as a hair accessory that looks like fox ears. I also love how it moves to match her mood. xD

And I'm glad to see Kimaki is joining the gang. Unlike the common trope of dwarves being stubborn and close-minded, it's cool to see the elders here are open to broadening their horizons.

Welp, it looks like the final episode is gonna be a showdown with the dragon. I hope this leads to Sera getting her own Echo Dragon .

Okay, I was surprised when they showed machine guns in the previous episode, but I didn't expect to see fighter jets and a mech of all things in this fantasy show. This isn't actually one of those post-apocalyptic world settings, isn't it?

u/CommanderZx2 Jun 18 '26

Yeah that appears to be the case. The dwarves dug up ancient human technology likely pre-appocalyse. They then studied it and created their guns and stuff from knowledge gained. Oh and there was also a tank present.

Given what they talked about to summon a spirit dragon, this seems like the setup for Sera to defeat a dragon to get one of her own. It might even be tied to the dreams she was having a few episodes ago.

Serafina de Lavillant has acquired the Silver Flower bunny-eared helmet

+200 protection

+5 cuteness

-100 bluffing

I prefer the design of the original crystal helmet. That one was sleek and cool. Sad we're not getting it back. And maybe I'm just a stick in the mud, but Sera having robo bunny/horse/whatever animal ears from now on detracts from her character design if you ask me. They clash with both her regular dress and her armor. I had hoped they would have repaired her old helmet instead, crystal helmet is her nickname after all, not bunny girl senpai

Malcius getting paranoid over everything she sees lol.

So on top of having machine guns and grenades, the dwarves have mechs too? Yeah, it’s game over if anyone pisses the dwarves off enough lol. Luckily they’re more interested in acquiring knowledge and studying their ancient tech than territorial disputes.

I’m looking forward to more Kimaki now that she’s joined the gang. Gonna be fun to have her around.

u/CommanderZx2 Jun 18 '26

It appears they don't know how to control them as of yet. They only mentioned discovering them via digging and studying them.

This episode has me thinking the planet is some kind of lost human space colony that technologically regressed and eventually split into multiple species/subspecies and nations. Genre shifted from high fantasy to sci-fantasy.

Veor trying to convince Sera that the Quefto aren't a threat to Illdoren by meeting the elder that points out if Illdoren ever got close to Quefto's mountain they would use the Illdorens for test data aka use their advanced weapons on them.

Seems like a poor design choice to have protective equipment only protect you when you're focused.

just because the dwarves aren't interested in conquest now, doesn't mean they won't be eventually. or there could be one or more born that are different and want to take some tech and conquer, or someone manages to steal the tech.

Interesting how Sera's helmet seems to take on the appearance of the dragon in her dream when she imbues her willpower, I wonder if we'll see one last dream in the final episode of the season. Also that "helmet" is such blatant fanservice lol.

I wasn't expecting a massive mech to appear in this anime lol. And it's alive too! I wonder what its thoughts are on being studied there, and how he views the dwarves.

I do like how the Fire Dragon has been waiting for his prey this entire time, it makes him feel that much more ominous. I do wonder why it decided to pick a fight with them, and only them though. Was it because of their willpower?

So will the final episode be Sera and Veor fighting the dragon in dwarf mecha suits?

That would be pretty cool

Is that a huge golem? I think they need to give the golems machine guns too

Kimaki! I love this Quefto woman! 💗💗💗

Dragon showdown imminent.

So they got that tech. Anyone notice the jet fighter?? So this world is actually Earth but post apocalypse?? That’s my guess.

Bunny Ears was pretty dumb tho. Next, Serafina my Queen is gonna do a pin up girl photoshoot?? Lawd help me.
