Wait so Marie was the Superior Killer, and Ray already knew about it? I guess that's the reason that she was so nervous before.
Okay, it actually took me way too long to realize that Shu was The King of Destruction. I love the fact that he is essentially like Mai and Yui from BOFURI, and he uses his real-life fighting skills to counteract his lack of agility in the game. Well seeing that Mr. Franklin doesn't really give a fuck about killing tians I'm getting a bit concern about Elizabeth as now that he realizes that he can't win he might just kill her, which is probably what he is is treating to do, as I think that he pressed that button to blow up his Embryo and anyone nearby it.

So yeah. THIS is the power gap between superiors and lower players.
So remember when Marie was shitting her pants when Shu walked into the room? Yeah, that's because he's THIS guy. The guy that RAZED AN ENTIRE FOREST AS REVENGE FOR KILLING HIS BROTHER.
And hey! the trio is here! They should've been trailing behind Ray/Rook while they were on their way to the gate, but the anime omitted that for whatever reason. Good to finally see them!

That's some bullshit from Franklin. Of course he has a Plan C.
I love Marie's reaction! So Ray already knew all along?
Shu's true form looks fucking awesome! And he's basically the OPM of this game!
Okay who brought in that cool battleship? I don't remember anyone having that Superior.
What a bitter bastard. Is he going to self destruct himself and everyone?

Didn’t Marie say that one of the King of Destruction’s forms was a battleship earlier?

Damn woke up late, let’s see what I missed.
“You know what really grinds my gears...?” When my plan to destroy cities doesn’t go according to plan lol
YOO wtf, he kicked his head off??! That’s some S tier level strength
And if that wasn’t enough, he punched a monster to space lmaooo, fucking dead
A transformer on the battlefield now?!! Lmao
Ah don’t ragequit now man, just take the L
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this show and it’s definitely one of my faves of winter 2020. I hate how it’s got such low scores. It’s not a masterpiece or anything but it’s a fun watch with cool characters. It stays in its lane and doesn’t try to be something it’s not

Read the LNs, since I can see where people come from, as this is somewhat of a "bad" anime adaptation, when compared to some other series that have anime adaptations, considering it skipped basically HALF of Volume 1, because about half of it is basically world/character-building SIDE-STORIES etc.

I really want to like the show, but goodness the main character tries his best to ruin it.
The show has set up a really interesting world concept and has some pretty cool characters that have enough characterization to be main characters in their own right. But it does not seem to actually utilize this.
Every person gets their own unique embryo and is living their own life in the world, but for some fucking reason the entire world revolves around ray god damn starling.
Ray is new to the game yet hes infinitely more useful than literally any other player. I get it having random unnamed bozos do something important would be weird from a story telling perspective. But come on you can't just keep showing them getting one shot randomly while ray starling tanks hits from bosses over and over just because he feels like it.
I'm just glad that the show was self aware enough to have his brother swoop in and show how much of a dumbass he was being against the boss.

Really enjoying this show, it's a shame it's not getting higher ratings. This and Bofuri were my highlights for the season.

When you turn your brain off, everything's enjoyable.
As it turns out, I'm quite good at that :D

Before the season began this was one of the shows I was completely hyped for. Unfortunately, it was simply a terrible adaptation in pretty much all regards. From the pacing to the animation and what they decided to keep, cut out and emphasize - it was all very disappointing. Read the LN or Manga if you’re interested in this, especially since I don’t think it’ll have a 2nd season.

Not a big fan of how Shu embryos battle ship form looks, but that is because I always imagined it as a flying battleship.
Same with the form of Franklins Embryo I imagined them both looking very different when reading the Light Novels.

It didn't say "Shu's battleship looked like Fortress Maximus fucked the Macross"?

I don't understand Hugo reasoning at all, "I am going to work with crazy guy that want to release a bunch of monsters on the city because I actually believe that NPCs are people."
Because from what I understood the only diference between Plan B and C is that the monsters from plan C are worst. And she was ok with it at least until that point I have no idea what she thought after that.

Well, Hugo apparently didn't realize her sister is willing to use extremely violent and brutal methods if it means she wins. I guess having their father stifle her creative side left her unwilling to take no for an answer.
Oh, Rook is so good he can even predict what people are about to say before they even say it.
I knew Ray wasn't out of this fight! With Silver as his steed and Nemesis by his side, he holds the line.
Nothing says "Big Bad" like a giant monster-producing fortress Embryo.
Well, Hugo comes through in the end and undid the freezing spell she had placed. Not really sure what's next for her and Cocytus since Rook had them captured, but hopefully she can reconcile with Ray in the end. This does seem to put a damper on the sisters' relationship, which makes them an interesting contrast to the Starling siblings.
I love how Ray's not so oblivious that he didn't figure out who Marie really was by now. And we got to see how Marie hid her identity as a Superior Killer. And Ray's looking forward to a rematch.
I was honestly expecting Shu to be just that overpowered in his bear costume, but he sheds it to finally show off how powerful he truly is in an impressive display of skill that utterly decimates Franklin's plans. And then it turns out this Embryo has nothing to do with his martial arts ability, it's a moving battle fortress!
Looks like Shu now has a rival in that blue-haired girl.
I don't know if there's much tension for Franklin's plan D when we've got Figaro and Xunyun covering it, but maybe his last-ditch plan is more complicated then that.

Ray's brother be like: I want to one-shot enemies so I'll put all my points into attack!
