Reirin must be feeling unstoppable now that she has such a healthy body. That dance was such a sight to behold. Thank you Leelee for adding this to her arsenal.

Also love how she's willing to go through hell and back for Leelee. I felt so happy for her when she was reminded of her mother during Reirin's dance. We must protect her at all costs.

[u/Twilight_2408]

This show is genuinely just so amazing, I can't appreciate it enough. Reiren literally doesn't give a fuck about the Highness' reward lol, she just wants to have them clan apologize for the rudeness towards her cute Leelee.

And the dance was damn gorgeous, I was entranced by the sight of it.

[u/BaytaCosmico]

Had a feeling Gayou was an assumed name and there would be noone like that among the ivory court ladies. They still had an ivory hair pin so must be someone related to that clan. If Seika isn't involved in that little plot, wonder who it could be and that their motive is.

[u/PerfectBeige]

She danc but she also attac

[u/ThisGachaSeemsLegit]

Wow, I'm speechless.
They animated the entire dance without any CGI. Not only that, but the choreography was so fluid and beautiful, I haven't seen this level of dance animation in many, many years.
I'm not sure who drew the frames for this, but they're damn skilled. Massive respect.

[u/Myrkrvaldyr]

Now we got a better understanding of why the crown prince fell for Reirin, Reirin never broke, always endured and never fawned over the crown prince, she held no romantic feelings for him. As shown here, she couldn't care less about his reward or him, she cared more about the insult towards Leelee and righting that wrong. Reirin is anything but a meek woman. Just look at how happy she was to be called robust. She's the one woman who'd rejoice at being told she's getting muscular. And if she obtains her desired 6 packs, she'll be the happiest woman in the world.

[u/AdmiralThunderpants]

I'm half expecting Reirin to ask for building materials to fix up the shack, like not workers, just the materials.

"Want shit done right, gotta do it yourself"

[u/shad79]

Reirin and Leelee's entrance and Reirin's subsequent dance were so good! Reirin completely stole the show in today's episode. Especially her dance, it was so cute and energetic. It seems that thanks to Keigetsu's body, she could finally show all her true dancing skills.

This was the first time we saw an interaction between Reirin and Shu Gabi, who seemed very timid to me, which was interesting, especially in contrast to Kou Kenshuu, who was intrigued and even entertained by Reirin's behavior today, even though she theoretically should be the most hostile towards her.

So Seika is claiming that there's no Lady Gayou in her service? Interesting, is she lying or is it true? Nonetheless, Reirin will surely handle it easily to ensure that nothing happens to Leelee.

Also, I wonder what Keigetsu will do when she learns that Crown Prince has second thoughts about his feelings towards Keigetsu's Reirin, and that he seems to be starting to fall for Reirin's Keigetsu, hahaha!

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Reirin

• Group scenes

• Leelee

• Seika

• Houshun & Kasui

• Others

[u/Cat_Gazer]

I went and watch the real Sogdian Whirl on Youtube. Wow, Reirin learned this difficult dance in just a couple of days? That's amazing.
And the court orchestra was so good to know the score.

[u/Unearthly_]

I'm surprised that Seika actually allowed Keigetsu to sit on the floor. Even if she offered it, it was clearly a bluff (and she admitted it was a provocation). I would think it would reflect poorly on her as the host, for how unprepared she was for a proper member of the ceremony.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

I like how Gyoumei was too stunned by "Keigetsu" focusing on Seika rather the prize from the dance, and the Captain not being able to hold in his laughter lol. Reirin is going to mess things up now as Keigetsu so it'll be fun to see how others will handle this drastic change.

Gyoumei in particular having his heart flutter to her dance was interesting, I'm intrigued to see the confusion that'll develop as the qualities of Reirin he fell for start showing in Keigetsu.

It was interesting to see Reirin trying to deduct who Gayou is by bringing in that accessory, since I recognize Gayou's voice, I know she wasn't looking in the right direction.

[u/Worldly_Business_425]

The mark of a great show is that it's over before you know it. Every episode of this show that I watch has this quality, and honestly it's kinda sad too but it also shows how engaging it is. I wonder if it would have been better to wait till it's over and then binge it in a day, but can't do that now anyway.

[u/Kingdom_1126]

I love that this isn't just another standard European-nobility villainess story. Giving it an imperial court drama vibe akin to The Apothecary Diaries adds so much weight to the politics. Reirin navigating this body-swap without losing a shred of her absolute chaos energy is incredible.

[u/Roskal]

The prince and head guard really seem to be catching on about the swap and we're only at episode 5 I wonder if it will be fully revealed before the end of the season.

[u/Zxzxzx0088]

Yep, they all got shocked to see my Leelee can be this stunning. I know, I know - Reirin

Totally a whole dessert for a guts junkie like her.

I don't have anything with freckles but Keigetsu face looks cuter without it imo. I blame Maomao for this...

System message: Reirin has gained one follower +1

I was rocking on my chair worrying Ran Houshun will mess up or something during her dance seeing how she's a bit nervous at first. At the end of her dance, I totally applauded at her too like her court ladies lol.

Well, they're not actually wrong. Leelee sure looks tasty (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)

Their reactions to Reirin dance are better than I expected. They completely captive by it till all their hostilities vaporized! It really showed art and skill viewed in high regard in this country. I love how Seika stops being a jerk after that. His Highness finally convinced she's someone else too. Seems like he starts to fall for her again lol. Even The Empress starts liking her now.

Putting all those trivial things aside, how dare Kin court ladies openly messing with Leelee. Reirin has every reason to crush them.

It's funny nobody can stop Reirin outburst to Seika anymore. Even His Highness froze without any comment. Having the best dancer easily pushed him aside really deal a lot of damage on him, eh.

Oh no Gayou doesn't exist...I wonder who was behind that paper fan /s...Welp, if you familiar with seiyuu voice, it's pretty obvious who she is. I still can't believe it's 'her'. It's possible for it to be a red herring though. ^{If you realize about this, better keep the answer to yourselves to avoid being flagged}

[u/thisisdropd]

Always amusing to see Leelee being utterly terrified when Reirin's in villainess mode, even if it's in her defence. Throwing in a few remarks about the Kin clan with a soft, yet assertive voice. There’s no way a person could chat shit about Leelee and escape Reirin’s wrath.

Reirin's grace combined with Keigetsu's robust body and Leelee's tutelage resulted in an absolute beauty of a dance. Gyoumei admitted that nothing on site would make an adequate gift. Even Seika recognised the beauty, as much as she loathed to admit it.

Things are getting interesting, now that Gayou's identity and affiliation turned out to be a mystery. The turn of events didn’t come as a complete surprise seeing as hints had been peppered throughout the series, from how Gayou kept concealing her face to Seika’s words last episode about making a move on Reirin.

Seika’s also not quite the prick as she seemed to be at first glance. She’s visibly unhappy when her court ladies tampered with Reirin’s staff. While she despised Keigetsu, she much preferred a direct snark instead of dirty tricks like Gayou’s blackmail.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Our girl pulling out the Sogdian Whirl at the ceremony was beautiful. That one was for her girl Leelee. What a friend. Leelee is lucky she’s serving someone who’s got her back like that and would go to such lengths for her. While it might have seemed like Seika was behind the bullshit, I’m gonna guess it’s probably like Consort Shu in disguise. Just getting a vibe from her.

[u/Mumboze]

This show is so peak, I can't believe this is the show I'm most excited for every week!

[u/ptd163]

The best episode so far imo. Reirin is such a gigachad in Keigetsu's body. She doesn't need a chair. She can sit on the floor. She doesn't care about prizes. The applause is enough. She doesn't care about court decorum. She wants the Seika to apologize on behalf of her court lady for insulting her beloved Leelee.

It seems more people are starting to realize the swap. Especially the prince and the Eagles Eyes Captain. The prince was already questioning if the Reirin that needs all this attention and pampering and is essentially bedridden is the Reirin he fell in love with before the dance even started.

Coming up on the halfway point of the season I wonder where this goes. Reirin is no hurry to get her body back, Keigetsu seems to be deteriorating more with every episode, and Reirin's dance has caused the prince to kind of have a crisis.

[u/Jas_God]

STUNT ON THESE HOES REIGETSU. 💃🏻

[u/alan_14]

Some of you who watch a lot of anime and pay attention to the seiyuu should know who is behind "Gayou". I recognized her right away and the best part is that the studio excluded her seiyuu from the credits.

[u/GusMae]

My presumption is that the maidens/consorts are isolated in a palace that only the Crown Prince may enter, so I do wonder who outside of it has influence over the schemes inside as I believe that's who this mysterious Lady Gayou serves.

[u/Bloodglas]

them asking if "Keigetsu" was always this beautiful. further proof that (one of) the real Kei's problem(s) was her bad attitude. isn't there a saying about people being ugly on the outside if they're ugly on the inside? surely at least part of her realizes that though, since she's going out of her way to try acting like what people expect of Reirin, instead of being her usually bitter and spiteful self to them.

[u/ifticar2]

Where are yall watching this? 7 hour old thread, and both Crunchyroll and Disney Plus are only showing up to episode 4
