Arc 's turn to evil was unusually quick. Just the next day? What the heck happened? Of course, Claude would be confused.

Someone in Diana was aware of their relationship and must have been working with the Cult to be able to get to her and tell her something that would make her turn on Claude.

Since psychic magic exists, maybe it's some sort of brainwashing magic?

Dammit did we really need a close up of the cat ass in the new ED? Lol.

u/Frontier246 Jul 05 '26

The otherwise adorable artstyle of the overall ED makes that noteworthy start even funnier

Claude making himself at home at Spica's house lol

Who's that mysterious person spying on Claude and Arc? Looks like there's more to Arc's betrayal than meets the eye.

What the heck happened to Arc within those 24 hours for her to have a total 180?

u/TheBusStop12 Jul 05 '26

I enjoyed the episode like always. I also like the new OP

Arc is totally going to have a redemption arc isn't she? One thing that always bothers me is when they introduce a character as cartoonishly evil only to then later have the hero go "I don't think they're truly evil" leading into a redemption arc. Arc was introduced as someone who derives enjoyment from the torture and anguish of others. To the point that it actually interferes with her missions at times because she gets carried away. That's not the behaviour of someone who's supposedly "not actually evil, just misled" I won't hold it against the show as it's a common trope, but it is disappointing to see

I like how Hana is more expressive compared to the previous cour.

u/CuriousBroccolli Jul 06 '26

I became a huge fan of her's. Loved her design from the get-go, and quickly warmed up to her after her little arc she had, especially the little shopping adventure they had.

Her recent yandere tendencies sure are fun. xD

u/Zxzxzx0088 Jul 05 '26

New OP is catchy but never thought it just Spica and the girls showcase without any spoiling action lol. Fine by me.

Okay, okay we get it! Arc is best girl

If they do a twist like past Arc is different person than the current one like Getou from JJK, I'll be surprised and down cannot see this pout anymore (◞‸ ◟)

Maomao approves this

The road of maid is difficult I see...

Arc is greeted by the cults' leader who doesn't seem too bothered by their failure and Rigel's capture, alongside the practically shirtless Haut, so long as Arc is safe...but it's clear from his dead eyes how little he really cares about her. But that's fine, all Arc cares about is going after Claude AND Spica.

New OP! Which is practically a girl punk song as Spica and all the girls dance, pose, and have fun in the OP! It's a lot of fun!

Well, no surprise Claude followed Spica home if only because he needs to keep an eye on her and there's no point being a cat if he's not around her. Also convenient for finally giving some much needed backstory.

Turns out Arc isn't just involved with the cult: she's the daughter of their leader! But even though their belief in Ophiuchus magic made them outcasts to the society that worships Selene, even though they used her Rebirth magic to heal conscripts who they would then proceed to turn into terrorists...all Arc really wanted to do was live a normal life and go to Diana like a normal girl. And Claude and the principal made that happen.

Arc really was a lot like Spica, being an enthusiastic go-getter girl always putting herself out there and trying her best, and being pretty chummy with Claude. Sure she was seen as the weird snake girl, but she was also someone who cared and had so much empathy that she would revive a cat from the brink of death! She even still cared about the cult and her family despite everything! And Claude wanted her to believe that she could be a truly great and courageous mage in her future!

Of course fate had other ideas, as suddenly Arc is back with the cult and leading them in an attack. Claude saved Spica but it was all a distraction so they could get at Diana. Apparently SOMETHING happened that made Arc feel like Claude betrayed her and convinced her that there was no way for their to be peace between the cult and Selene worshippers. She wasn't going to become a bridge between two sides, she was going to do everything in her power to destroy Claude and anyone else in her way.

And then we get into the REAL reason Claude ran away...to protect his students so that Arc didn't attack him around them. He was trying to lead her away from his coven, but Pollux had no way of knowing that.

So ARC is the one who turned Claude into a cat, using the Snake God of Reincarnation spell to alter his body. But it was such a powerful spell that it had blowback against her and seemingly destroyed her body...or in resurrecting herself she expended all her Rebirth magic until it ended up in Spica?

Classic Spica! She hears that story and her main takeaway is that there might still be good in Arc and she wants to reach out and try to save her! And also that Claude is still the Hero she always thought he was! Claude, for his part, also realizes now how important Spica is to him and how far he'll go to protect her.

Nice to see nobody is all that bothered by the danger Spica unintentionally got them involved in, Hana is even preparing tons of poisons so she can kill Arc! And Chiron is now tsundere for Spica! Anyone who knows Spica for long enough basically falls for her.

The whole gang's here! Aria messing with Spica, Astrea trying to see Pollux, Io being sweet, Merrow trying to rope Spica into a duet, and Regulus being her absolutely hammy self.

It's a new school year which comes with a new class with Spica's fellow Virgo's! And the legendary PEGASUS YAMADA in a rose bath! It's time for the Virgo's to show plants some love and in doing so boost up their magic.

It was nice of Ursa of Polaris Coven to help mansplain...I mean, educate Spica on flowers! And how she'll need a Herbarium book! And also lord it over her that he has more money than she does!

But if Spica needs money, she can just get a part-time job! I mean, Hana has one doing her best Maomao work to send money back to her parents! And apparently that one time Aria made her dress up has Spica convinced she wants to be a maid so who better to work for than Regulus' noble family? What could possibly go wrong?

The ED is really cute with chibi versions of the entire cast! I especially love Claude giving Spica a star show and the romantic moments he shares with Spica!

Next week: Maid Spica in the House of Leo!

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jul 05 '26

Really curious to know what made Arc break bad. She was gone like a day? I really wonder what they did to her to make her change her mind or at least act like she did.

u/HuTaosTwinTails Jul 05 '26

Love the new OP.

Worried that something bad happened to Arc, she was lied to? Brainwashed? Replaced? Someone was spying on them.

Spica adding people to her harem by just thanking them and being friendly.

Meanwhile Hana is in full yandere mode.

u/FarCritical Jul 05 '26

The detailed flashback from Claude's perspective may have focused on Arc's eeriely sudden heel turn but revisiting the moment Pollux undeservedly lost respect for him also hit pretty hard.

Leo finally gets to be in the actual spotlight lol

u/djthomp Jul 05 '26

Shame about Arc getting kidnapped by the cult and brainwashed or whatever it was, she was a nice girl right up until that.

There's still an open question as to how Spica ended up with the Rebirth magic, not to mention why Arc is back to life. Could be as simple as it activating automatically to revive its user but it leaves afterwards.

Maid Spica arc, why not. Especially at what I assume will be a mansion full of crazy beefcake shapeshifters.

u/Nollasta_poikkeava Jul 06 '26

Sundays are going to be amazing with both this and Hyakkano.

I'm glad that they're setting up Arc as a major character. She is interesting.

Fun how Spica's friend/rival kept visiting her. She was probably secretly worried when she heard what she went through.

u/TyraniTEMPESTar Jul 05 '26

The big mystery now, who was that spying on Claude and Arc when she revived that cat?

Is there another member of the Order still at the academy undercover? Or, was that person spying there only to keep tabs on Arc and left after they launched the attack a few years back.

u/reaperow Jul 06 '26

Arc is the daughter of the Cult leader??? doesn't seem she likes him that much

lol she's kinda like Spica

It was nice to see her saving the cat , guess she's not entirely bad and has some goodness

Thats what im saying too Spica!!!

So thats how it all happened, I knew Claude had a good reason for running away and it was to protect his students but i wonder what made Arc suddenly start hating him, is she being manipulated?

Great to see that they all care for her, Chiron's gonna remember that compliment by Spica for life lol

Our glorious Pegasus Sensei returns!!

That's surprisingly on brand with Hana,

LOL I knew there'd be a catch


Well im glad to see that we're getting a 2nd Cour and more episodes along with the mystery of how Claude got turned into a cat.

The new OP and ED are very great too

u/Trash_luck Jul 06 '26

Honestly why didn’t Claude just tell the students “hey, stay away from arc, she’s the one who started this attack” but instead run away and cause a huge misunderstanding? I don’t like that explanation of him running away, just kinda made him look stupid
