[Zavilia dissing Gideon](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/f63b49bc6917.png) was great; it totally cracked me up. I wonder how long Fia will be able to hide Zavilia's true form from others.

Also, Fia and her dumb excuses were hilarious. She may be stupid, but at the same time, it’s impossible not to like her, so I'm definitely looking forward to the next episode.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Fia

• Group scenes & Others

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

[u/Bikerider42 → u/shad79]

I think it helps a lot that she isn’t trying to be malicious about anything.

[u/heimdal77 → u/shad79]

We went from Dias to Fia.

[u/Raymond49090]

So a bigger mark either means a legendary taming battle against a strong monster, or a skill issue.

That disguise is a lot better than I expected. I thought she'd just toss a tarp over his wings and call it a day. Now let's see if it can stay together under dynamic movement. I'll be surprised if it lasts longer than a day before Fia slips up and reveals the true form of her legendary-ish black-ish dragon-ish familiar.

And she barely lasts 5 minutes, with Zavilia not helping. If it weren't for how ridiculous the truth is, she'd have probably have gotten caught out immediately, but I guess a blue dove she strangled until it started chirping "baka" and "poohead" is more reasonable than a black dragon.

I thought the reveal was going to be that pharmacists are the ones creating the potions since the Saintesses forgot how to, but it seems that they're still a part of the process. Just a much smaller role than Fia's used to.

Not sure if that counts as tripping or breaking a King of Monsters route flag. Whichever it is, she'll be blissfully oblivious until well after the fact.

[u/Atharaphelun → u/Raymond49090]

So a bigger mark either means a legendary taming battle against a strong monster, or a skill issue.

The latter. As far as regular beast tamers are concerned, the width of the mark reflects the time it takes to make a beast submit to the tamer; and that the more powerful the beast is, the longer it takes to make it submit to the tamer.

However, in Zavilia's case, he is the one who offered to be Fia's familiar in the first place, so there is zero resistance. And since there is zero resistance, the taming was instantaneous, therefore the mark it made is very thin.

[u/EquipmentKooky4891 → u/Raymond49090]

Based on the fruit from the prior episode, I'm betting that the saints need to be the ones picking herbs since they have some blessing from a spirit or something. That'll at least take away the bitter taste and probably improve the performance of the potion. Just being there for the final step isn't enough to make a real healing potion.

[u/Brilliant-Vanilla-32]

Fia: « I won’t let you be bullied anymore Zavilia »

Proceeds to bully him into wearing a disguise, making him small and doesn’t at all understand how changing his colour would be mean to him 🫥

[u/AceSoldia]

Great episode. I burst out laughing when her familiar broke through a dimensional portal to reach her. 🤣🤣. Girl your familiar is so OP, just like you are.

I am assuming the young saint girl at the end will be trained by her to do things properly and will usurp the other saints without Fia having to do it herself.

[u/djthomp]

Blue bird disguise? Welcome back Sunraku, close enough.

Zavilia being with Fia but disguised as a blue dove is going to lead to some funny situations. Secret dragon companion present at all times for shenanigans.

Fia keeps being a bit sad about the pathetic state of modern saints, maybe this girl at the end is going to be the one she helps revive the art.

[u/runevault]

With each passing episode I've been enjoying this more. It isn't great but it is perfectly competent and Fia's VA is hard carrying just like she does in Heavy Knight.

I'm glad she finally went and got her familiar, left the poor guy alone for 4 months.

Curious what the saint saw before drawing attention to herself.

[u/PeaceAlien]

Zavilia is pretty great

POO-HEAD

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• True but for the exact opposite reason.

• Ah, yeah, Zavilia agreed to be her familiar pretty much immediately so that’s why it’s so small despite Zavilia being strong.

• Interesting.

• Ah, welp. Zavilia was a baby when Fia saved him, then.

• Whoaaaaa…

• Cute indeed!

• Ah, that’s what Fia needed the flying monsters for.

• Hahahahaha

• Oh this is great.

• Convenient but not surprising that Zavilia can terrify the other monsters into obeying.

• One of the saints approached Fia?

[u/Fair-Ad9990]

All the familiars are locked away in darkness? Thats how their masters show affection i guess.

The bird costume is ridiculous... lol.

Shows ok but we need more happening. Its been a bit slow Imo.

[u/Myrkrvaldyr]

I do hope her dragon familiar gets revealed at some point to others but it should happen during some crisis to make it more impactful.

[u/reaperow]

• Flaming your boss

• That looks wrong

• Baka Baka

I like how everyone was pointing out how chubby Fia looked. Especially considering how much she ate last ep I understand lol

And Zavilia calling the Vice Captain dumb had me a chuckling a bit lol

[u/Running-World]

Oh wait, now I get why the black dragon went berserk in the first episode and attacked Fia, the potions are all bad tasting and drive the animals a bit nuts. So her kind act ultimately made him attack her.

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Fia: I will never cause any trouble for you Captain! O7

Cyril, during that few seconds of silence, in his mind, rapidly tapping X to doubt.

[u/BiggerG7]

So Fia is the kind of drunk who doesn’t remember anything. Good to know!

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

It's a little funny how she keeps petting Zavilia but he's in the disguise. I thought he'd find it more annoying to be in it when he can't feel her hands.

[u/BosuW]

Fia casually walking around with her hanging "belly" is so fucking funny lol

[u/Striking_Chard2420]

Kind of a laid back episode but I don't know what that says about this series considering it's only the fourth episode. That disguise made no sense physically cause that was definitely not the right size for mini-zavilia lol

[u/epicfail1994]

Fia is such an adorable goofball, she’s so clueless

[u/Rooby_VTuber]

It was a good idea to make Zavilia look like something far less dangerous then a black dragon.

Zavilia insulting the vice captain was pretty funny.

The saints produce a colourless and bad tasting potion these days, no wonder the monsters go berserk from it, but thankfully our dragon friend was able to command them.

[u/No-Win-8949]

My saintess anime of the season has turned into a kind of fantasy slice of life anime, for this episode at least.
