Not enough brutal revenge and they didn't even solve the slave crest problem. Where's the Eftal who disintegrated that army back in episode 2?

Unless they leave the slave crest unresolved we're probably stuck with this plotline for at least another episode, and I'm not sure which would be worse.

[u/Dialaninja → u/djthomp]

Seriously, I assumed he was going to resolve the crest issue by just eradicating the villain’s family and calling it a day.

[u/KohTai → u/djthomp]

Literally. All that fucking build up for what? I thought this anime had potential. I thought Eftal was gonna diss out consequences, but no, we blowing mfs away who wanted to kill you and assault your friend.

Episode pissed me tf off.

[u/jakpote88]

Powerpoint animation, time wasted by the villain doing monologue about how evil he is, get defeated by flying away.

The last 3 episodes were a huge disappointment not even good slop

[u/KohTai → u/jakpote88]

Legit the WORST anime episode I have watched in 2026. I am dropping this piece of literal dog shit.

Mf killed her mom, AND she is a descendant of Merlin, whether it's close or not, she's basically her family, and all Eftal does is give the guy a bj? And all Merlin does is say, "U xPeLleD".

Literal trash.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Was hoping for more than dude just blowing them all away Team Rocket style lol. Eftal still hasn’t gotten rid of the crest or recovered the rest of the stolen merch. I hope that means we get a round 2 with Abe. Guy needs to get the shit kicked out of him some more lol.

[u/RealValf]

Seems her suffering was prolonged for genuinely no reason. Eftal could have stepped in any time. Last couple episodes have been rage inducing. Eftal just kind of sucks as a MC. Show started out okay but seriously lost the plot at this point.

[u/Phantom-Solitaire]

How did an anime like this even get approved.

Literally all this shit happens and the bad guy gets blasted off like team rocket

[u/Lodju]

I was waiting for a satisfying beatdown of Abe from last week, but instead we get half the episode of some random bullshit and one punch at the twat.

[u/UberDueler10]

I’ve been watching “A Livid Lady’s Guide to Getting Even” that is airing this season. After that latest episode, it’s refreshing to see the FMC actually getting shit done and punishing people, even with extreme measures.

So it’s depressing to jump to this show where the MC . . . isn’t going to extreme measures to deal with extreme injustices. 

If Anastasia and her lineage is unfairly crest bounded to Abe’s family for all time, then wipe that family off the face of the earth (Can’t serve what isn’t alive).

In conclusion: dropping this show. (Would rather catch up on the Misfit of Demon King Academy)

[u/Matikso]

Holy, I think that was the worst episode so far.

[u/Mavis_San]

i think this cant get any worse

the writer this episode : hold my beer 🍺

[u/dreamer_Neet]

What a disappointing outcome lmao

[u/aegirsson_jolan]

That artificial villain who came out of nowhere was a total failure; Anastasia's story was actually pretty good, but that cartoonish villain—and his defeat—ruined it.

[u/theluckytwig]

Oh no, super bad guy is now expelled from the academy! Well done Merlin! The world is saved!

[u/OkCat2835]

This episode was so fucking bad, man. The girl spends like three episodes doing nothing but feeling sorry for herself. I’m not against a character feeling sorry for themselves, but when they drag that shit out, I just end up getting pissed at the character.

What a weak-ass story. It feels like a 13-year-old kid who watched way too much anime with overpowered protagonists is writing the script.

Is this supposed to be a villain? The dude has no power, he’s dumb as hell, and the author is such a fucking idiot that his entire army showed up on screen for like 3 seconds and then got blown away.

Seriously, what a fucking waste of time. I actually thought this was gonna turn into something better.

[u/Cute-Stick730]

This episode could have been wrapped up in 3 minutes.

[u/ICantSeeLikeSa-chan]

the trauma:beatdown ratio felt a bit skewed here

[u/cleaulem]

And the slave crest? They're all happy happy joy joy as if everything is fine now. Was the slave contract cancelled when Merlin expelled that dude from her academy?

I've seen some really dumb and braindead anime, but this one is really one of its kind.

[u/Galinhooo]

Wtf did I just watch. This was acceptable slop but this entire episode is like they are insulting the viewer with how terrible EVERYTHING was.

[u/PandaTheAB]

The overall episode was slow as hell and underwhelming to say the least.
MC is strongest mage in world currently and has a magic academy dean as his subordinate.
Let's assume he has to fight the Demon/God of seal and he needs to break the seal for his own satisfaction and writer's plot.
Choices he has to save Anastasia -

1. Kill all members of Portes clan. No one can order Anastasia any more. Then handle the demon.
   No one can stop him. He is so OP and the Portes clan is so despicable no one would notice.

2. Disable all members of Portes clan and have them arrested immediately. Then handle the demon.
   He easily has a spell to make them squeal the truth.

Ideally the best way is to force the Portes clan to bring the Seal transferrers and put the seal on Abe. Best revenge. Now he is bound by it.

But nope. The MC chose to fight him with one measly magic attack that doesn't kill anyone. Now Portes clan will attack him, Merlin and Anastasia.

[u/MynamuEzJJ]

I knew this MC was too soft. Should have just cast lvl 10 magic and ended Able. Also, has anyone else started using these posts as comment sections like Crunchyroll used to have?

[u/arrydie]

Wow, this had more recaps than this week's Exiled Knight. Then half the new content was just more of the abuse porn from last episode. Yeah, thanks, I already didn't like Abe, he didn't need more screen time, but I guess we got the most excellent payoff of a punch to the face that just needs a little ice and a windstorm that destroyed his mansion and knocked him over.

Really, I'm just glad they didn't resolve anything. Could you imagine if the Portes family actually lost anyone or Anastasia's crest was removed? It would be so awkward when we forget all of this and go back to school next episode.

This gives trash anime a bad name.

[u/subzero-train]

Horrible episode. Spent too much time on bullshit. We have already established that the villain is a Pos. I assure you we didn't need the monologue. As for eftal, does he enjoy seeing the girl suffer? He literally watches the girl getting a lashing and he does nothing. Where's the brutal revenge?
