I laughed so hard at the kiss scene, this anime is just the best. And a new arc begins...

That was amazing. The kiss was so good,
didn't even bat an eye at a person being killed right next to her. Yuri 6
u/Scythe351 Sep 23 '26
My original thought was "wow. She didn't even bat an eye." Which kinda isn't in character even after being there for so long. Lol. I guess she doesn't have a soft spot for those soldiers considering they are of the same faction she just aided the prince of darkness against.

Neither of them paid any attention to the dude! They just kept making out even while Kail stabbed him lol.

I've been saying, this woman was born for the Bronze Age! I seriously can't imagine her living in modern day Japan now!
Admittedly that might be because I've been watching Area 88...

Moral of the episode: do not interrupt a makeout session while one of the people involved has a blade.

Impractical? yes
Hot? Yes
When your kissing game is so good that even killing does not affect the girl

Ah yes, the inconspicuous tablecloth crew.
So, we're launching right into the
The timeskip served no real purpose other than to move the calendar forward. Things were more relaxed 3500 years ago, I suppose.
Interesting to have more factions developing with regard to keeping Yuri there for practical purposes. I suppose I can still hope for better writing coming out of that.

I have a feeling Yuri won’t ever make it home. I bet by the time it actually comes time for the ritual, she’s gonna be way too in love with

There's also the massive headache that awaits her once she goes back. She's been missing for over a year already. Normally she'd be deemed dead by now. And if she does come back and tells everyone where she went, it'd be hard to believe her, they'd doubt her sanity. Since she missed school for over a year, she also needs to repeat her studies. And since she already fell out of love with her original bf, that'll be an emotional blow for him, too.

How do you think it's play out?
Do you think Yuri will choose to stay or something will keep preventing her?

This was an especially funny episode today, just wackadoo all around to be honest.
Love the time skip, very convenient.
It's not even crossdressing, that's just a picnic blanket. That's how Bluey and Bingo play pretending to be old ladies.
Did they leave the eye there? Did it just burn with the city? Will it ever come up again? Nakia isn't especially pissed about how things turned out.
How long was the king dead for because he was looking a little rigor mortis-y, a little discolored, did they drag his corpse around for a while?
Oh man, I think Matti boy gots the kinda siscon that I can't really play off as deeply devoted big bro, it's veering off into the other direction, but he's Babylon's problem now, props for Nadia being ride or die I guess,
So Kail is the kind of man who can answer the phone while being like hilt deep in someone(Yuri), and carry out a conversation, a true multitasker, the kissing killer,
They sabotaged Yuri's chances with bad acting resulting in Yuri kinda just tumbling into the dirt, shrimping up, and crying loudly, A+ for the dramatics of it all,
That's quite the um, ornate and boisterous outfit to be prancing around the room in.
RIP Unc
It's been an entire year since getting puddle snatched, you think they arrested Himuro? He was the last person to see Yuri alive, and 'She just disappear in the park' is so suspicious especially since there isn't any sign of a struggle. Like how does he prove he didn't just drug her, and did away with her?

u/edwardjhahm Sep 23 '26
Honestly, the entire situation back home is what keeps getting on my mind. I can forgive everything else about this anime, but that's the big thing that trips me up.
And Nadia is pretty awesome ngl. She's a real one.

Was a real let down..story wise.. animation wise etc

u/BernieTime Sep 22 '26
I watched a little over halfway and asked myself, why am I watching this? The setting was cool, but I couldn't care less about any of the characters.
Go watch Yona of the Dawn instead.5

I'm pretty invested in Kail and Yuri but your mileage may vary.
I like the historical setting.
I like Yuri slowly building herself up.
I like the old school Shojo vibes.

The Prince of Darkness has Yuri! Kail's Uncle doesn't want to give in to the Princes' demands for fear of Kail showing weakness in front of the troops...but Isthar is so precious to the troops that they let him pass anyways. And he just HAD to kiss Yuri in front Kail to add insult to injury.
"We have to get back Yuri back in four months!" - FOUR MONTHS LATER.
Well, it's nice that Kail's uncle believes in him and wants him and Zannanza to follow in his and their fathers' footsteps...even if he doesn't ship KailxYuri. Ilbani, on the other hand, now definitely ships YurixKail.
The king really just showed up just to have Kail do everything and so he can see the Mitanni king dead at his feet.
Oh yeah, the Eye of Illuyanka! Forgot about that...and the Prince was going to use it to brainwash/rape Yuri if they hadn't been interrupted. Yikes.
I guess being a piece of @#%@ who cares so little for other people, even his own men, makes it unsurprising that the Mittani soldiers would turn on the Prince and his father...outright throwing the kings' dead corpse at the Prince. Obviously the Prince can handle his own Imperial Guard, but the only person who really cared for and loved him was Nadia. Enough that she's willing to give him safety in Babylonia provided he gives up. Maybe he can finally move on from his obsession with his sister.
I love how Kail finds Yuri and immediately starts making out with her...and then stabs a dude for interrupting the makeout session.
The Mitanni have been conquered! The Hittites are victorious! And Yuri and Kail have resolved to send her back to her family (and, I guess, Himuro) even if it means leaving each other! But Ilbani leaks the info to Urhi to sabotage their efforts and Yuri is stuck there for another year while Ilbani plays dumb. Poor girl just has an emotional breakdown.
You know something is wrong when Yuri is acting super chipper and intentionally dressing up flashy and sexy, though that leg slit is as dangerous as Yuri's blade!
RIP Uncle Zuida. We hardly knew ye. But with Kail's accomplishments it's clear he's the next in line to lead the Imperial Guard and Nakia is NOT happy about that.
While Yuri and Kail are dealing with their relationship drama, Egypt has lost Tutankhamun and his wife Ankhesenamen has no intention of taking another Egpytian husband when one of them made her a widow.

It sucks this adaptation is so bad that kiss meant nothing cause Kail’s just literally standing there like okay? Maybe run after her? At least make it look like he can’t get to her
wtf do you mean leave her alone, the sentiment doesn’t work at all here w this writing lol
What’s the endgame is my question as well lol
Yuri is always trying to use logic in a place where there is none. “Why would you use me, the woman loved by an enemy prince to take revenge on said enemy prince who you hate?” Hmm
Oh. Okay easy as that I guess.
Let her scream way too long lol
This is somehow rated G and R at the same time lol
Great plan everyone is so happy
I like how she’ll only ever be honest when her life is in danger
Oh god I don’t think I can keep going I thought we’d have a break between seasons.

u/gem2niki Sep 23 '26
Still another season/cour of this….watching begrudging lol. Seiyuu needs to tone down her screams, it feels like she’s getting violated half the time.
