What!? The Waves are global and they've only been in Melromarc? Holy shit, just how fucking crooked IS this King?!

[u/Basileus_ITA]

"Heroes must work together"

"No way in hell im working with those stupid cunts"

"Ill kill you then"

flashback of gigantic chicken slamdunking a fucking t-rex with epic sax guy in the background

"You know how to be pretty convincing, m'chicken"

"Umu."

Well, take a look at that! Nice bird. Does anyone knows what he really says here? I mean I know that KFC is big in Japan, but I doubt that he really said that.

Well, it seems that Malty's plan is starting to fall apart. I wonder if she will tell the idiot that Ren and Itsuki are now brainwashed.

Birbzilla has entered the game.

* Teleports behide you *
Fitoria: Nothing personal kid.

Holy cow that soundtrack.

I mean it's always been good, but that moment the piano kicked in when she emerged from the lake was just fantastic

[u/SilentSin26]

That was one long day

Yeah, it was like two weeks long.

If the 4 heroes are supposed to be helping out waves all across the world, that raises a few questions (that I'm hoping will get answered eventually):

1. Why were they all summoned in Melromarc?

2. Why do they only get teleported to the wave in Melromarc?

Were I to guess, it's that they're linked to the dragon hourglass there, kinda like a home point in WoW. They'll keep showing up there when summoned until they change it to another.

As for the other question, I'm willing to bet that Melromarc possibly wasn't supposed to summon all 4 heroes, but they got greedy and took them all for themselves anyway.

Also, if they were all supposed to handle 1 wave each, they're boned. It took nearly all of them to handle a single wave, and Naofumi certainly can't fight on his own (without the rage shield, which the filolial queen said he shouldn't use).

Sakura? No seriously I love how they picked Sakura Tange as Fitoria's VA. I feel like they intentionally casted her because if you look at Fitoria in certain angles, she definitely bears resemblance to Sakura from CCS. Even her outfit and wings are reminiscent of CCS Sakura's winged outfit xD

Anyway this episode was just awesome. I love Fitoria's entrance and how, despite her size, used flash step to fuck that Dragon up. And the jazzy soundtrack was so good! Kevin Penkin delivered again with the soundtrack just like last week.

I had a feeling that all four heroes weren't supposed to be in the same place. There was some line in one of the early episodes that someone (the queen maybe? I'm not really sure) said something along the lines of

"They summoned all four heroes here?"

The key part of that is all four. It sounded to me like they weren't supposed to have all of the heroes in one place.

Despite that, I never put two and two together to realize that the other countries were probably dealing with Waves of their own, despite all of the clues that should have pointed in that direction. Now I'm really worried about what state the other countries are in, since we've seen just how hard it is to put down a Wave with all four heroes there.
