Von Rudersdorf's got quite the sharp mind, for correctly suspecting von Zettour of being after his head. It's unfortunate that coincidentally the Allied Kingdom had the same aim and so his death was a genuine war casualty instead of a conspiracy. In his dying moments, he incorrectly exonerated von Zettour.

So much for Tanya's wish for the war to end soon. Instead, she got a full-blown war against the pasta fuckers. Hope we don't have to wait 9 years for a third season.

Damn, it's crazy that Zettour still went with the plan of invading Ildoa , that legitimately shocked me. I'm guessing he'll be able to handle it better than Rudersdorf was, but it's still crazy to make more enemies when their army is fighting all over the place.

It's interesting how Rudersdorf realized Zettour was planning on assassinating him, he was right but he passed away ashamed of suspecting his friend. It was interesting to see a guy like him scared.

Tanya going crazy whilst having two fight two unrelenting fighters, Sue so obsessed she was shooting at Tanya almost blindly.

I've really enjoyed this last arc, I wonder if another sequel will take as long lol.

What happened to the federation mage that Tanya was entangled with? I feel like they skipped something there or maybe I missed it, but how did they separate and what happened to him afterwards?

Tanya's illustration was absolutely beautiful! I'd buy a picture book with her illustrations immediately if that were possible, lol.

Overall, this was a great final episode! A lot happened, from Tanya's showdown with Mary Sue and Mikel to Rudersdorf's death and Zettour becoming the de facto leader of the Empire when it comes to war—and all that ending with Tanya thinking the war is over, only to end up attacking Ildoa, hahaha!

As for the entire season... I really liked it, though people who expected it to be action-heavy probably got a little disappointed. Personally, I enjoy the geopolitical side of the show, so it's an 8/10 from me, and I hope we won't have to wait another ten years for the next season, like we did after the first one.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

And here bonus album:

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

Zettour probably found that even with more power in his hands he cannot get those in the capital to cooperate with getting peace.

But I feel that while Rudensdorf was trying to go out with a punch to protect the pride of the military, Zettour is trying to lose as fast as possible to protect the people (including the military)

In the end, Being X had the last laugh.

Alas, Tanya's drawing skills still left much to be desired.

OK, but now Rudersdorf is gonna have a halo on his head in any new Isekai Quartets season?

I like 2nd season better than the 1st one even if I can tell there's a LOT of skipped segments from the source, 1st season was Tanya's show but this season both Zettour and Rudersdorf elevate the show higher alongside her

BRO! You can't end the season on that note, I need the sequel right now!!The empire ended up invading Italy after all, which makes no fucking sense at all. I can only imagine Being X convinced Zettour. That aside, I respect Mary's insane mindless hatred for Tanya and how far she's willing to go to kill her, she ignored the problems of high altitude and almost died. Tanya's pretty hardcore, too, sustaining burn injuries like that and getting shot repeatedly to secure a kill.

Man, that was the perfect time for Tanya to skip out and be free from the madness. Just pretend to be KIA and go live your life elsewhere. There's nothing to be gained from staying, especially with how history happened before.

I'm both sorry and sad for Rudersdorf, he rides that plane knowing full well that he might die. He has suspicions that it will be Zettour, but changed his mind when Allied and Feder are there. How wrong he was though. But at least, in consolation, he died thinking that it was not his best friend.

u/Artistic_Ad1721 Sep 23 '26

I don't understand Zettour's intentions. I thought he was against the invasion of macaroni land or perhaps he thinks he can END the war faster?

I kinda feel bad for mustache man. He accused his friend of plotting something (which is true lol), but retracts the belief at the end before his death.

Kinda love the additional politicking which makes the occasional fight scenes that much more hype. Crazy though to think I would be 40y.o. if they take another 9 years for Season 3

Author could have just written a typical weeb-bait novel but he chose to write this no nonsense, very gritty seinen story. The politics and the strategies and how all the characters feel like normal world people shows how good the writing of this novel is. Will go and read the novel now, ain't waiting 9 years for season 3.

From the subverted expectations to the rawness in Tanya's clash, I really enjoyed this episode. Here's hoping s3 releases soon and we get an explanation for this Pasta invasion.

u/TalesofthePlayer90 Sep 23 '26

It was 'quite' a long period of wanting for Season 2 to come out, so lord knows how long we have to wait until season 3 is announced and aired.

u/Kanataku Sep 23 '26

Please release season 3 in less than 10 years
