FAITH WILL MOVE MOUNTAINS! Still might be my favorite line from this, even though Asmodeus's threats towards Orobas are so damn good, but Allocer's comment truly describes the Misfit Class well... not to mention, the whole "entrusted dreams/wishes" aspect, with everyone involved betting on Iruma & Lead, to grow the Legend Leaf & obtain victory. I swear, I can't get enough of the wholesome friendship & comradery of the Misfit Class!

Honestly, seeing everyone's final standings...

MUST PROTECT CLARA! ...So, I cried. I felt the hype & the feels, that's for sure, cause this was simply incredible & absolutely heartbreaking to see what Clara fears most, what her "trauma" is... they crossed a line, making this sweet girl break down & feel the despair, though I cannot pin too much blame/hatred on Orobas, as he's a victim himself, Ocho's pulling the strings.

Honestly, the production staff went above & beyond this time, the artwork/animation, the OSTs &am...

THE ULTIMATE MAGIC SWORD! On this day, the Hestia Familia's blacksmith took a step closer to the realm of Gods by crafting a peerless weapon, indestructible and defying all common sense related to magic swords, only with just his blood, sweat, & tears... plus the unshakeable trust from his friends, that he'd turn the whole situation around. Our boy, Welf, seriously came in clutch & deserves so much praise... that sword & its firepower were damn impressive, so I'm curious if he'll ...

HARDEST BOSS FIGHT YET! Honestly, I'd say, in terms of pure hype & craziness, this surpasses seeing Kasumi wield the Bewitched Sword & transform for the first time... the artwork/animation, the cinematography, the OSTs (including the insert song), even the genuine fear, respect, and anxiety this "Dark Souls"-esque boss generated were next level. I can't gush enough about it, the production staff deserve praise for what they created!

So glad we caught up with everyone's Battle To...

"ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE"... Seriously, it got me so hyped to know Iris feels off about Mundane Mann, a testament to her strength as she can see thru Cid's disguise/act (to an extent). I can't wait to see Mundane vs Iris, cause while I did very much enjoy the fights against Goldy & Annerose, neither contestant are likely capable of fighting toe-to-toe with Midgar's Crown Princess.

So, apparently, Beatrix's the "War Goddess," the first Bushin Festival champion, and very well known for he...

ALL OUT WAR! Day 3 of the Harvest Festival's kicking it up a notch, that's for sure, as the Misfit Class is infighting, as Garp & Agares are under siege by Queen Keroli, Camui, & her army of Magical Beasts who wish to claim their castle (and points) for themselves! Not only that, she's formed an unlikely alliance with Clara & Elizabetta, so I wonder who else might team up going forward..

Our boys, Lead & Iruma, are hunting down Elizabetta to clear up a misunderstanding b...

WELF'S FLAME BURNS BRIGHT! I'd say, for those who might have believed it'd be "smooth sailing" for the Hestia Familia going forward, it's time to reconsider that train of thought... cause the harsh reality is, everyone's exhausted, injured, and exploring new territory while fighting off hordes of monsters. Reinforcements, to their knowledge, aren't an option, so it all comes down to betting everything, including their lives, on Welf's ability to craft magic swords... and his flame's burning b...

MAPLE'S UNSTOPPABLE! Seriously, these devs must be stressed beyond belief all cause she's so unpredictable & packing serious firepower with every new skill or odd combination discovered... at least they made (some) progress, she did take damage from the terrain & that 2nd Floor Boss made her struggle after stealing skills, but who knows when she'll find counters to those scenarios?

I can't wait to see what other enemies await us as we the climb, just hope it's not Heathcliff fro...

MOONLIGHT SONATA! Studio Nexus went above & beyond, the cinematography, artwork/animation, the lighting & even the white feathers brought the whole scene together... it was an incredible sight to behold, the callbacks to early episodes & the bestowal of power onto Rose were so damn good! Our girl can now save her father & kingdom, presumably, cause she's definitely much more powerful... standing in a rain of blood (of your own making) is typically a solid indicator of strength...

IRUMA'S DECLARATION OF WAR! Our boy truly loves to shake everything up, always doing the unexpected, and it was so damn entertaining to see everyone's reactions to his re-entrance atop the Nigi Nigi Greens... so happy we're touching upon the unique abilities his blood, as a human, has in the underworld. I do hope we continue to see what else it's capable of!

MUST PROTECT FREDERICA! Seriously, all it took was an 1 1/2 episodes to make me enjoy her character so damn much... she's just too damn adorable & hilarious to not feel this passionate about! I'd fight God for her (but that could said for several other characters from this show)!

I do wonder if Shin's descended from Royalty, the similarities are there, but once we learned about Frederica's abilities... well, that blew my mind and gave me Attack on Titan vibes, so I'm very eager to l...

NO WAY, MIKU?! ...I refuse to believe she'd actually die from this, even though I've been saying since Season 1 that it'd be interesting if the story ever goes this route, but with what we know about everything else that's going on right now... I'd reckon there's a good chance she'll survive, though I can't confidently say she'll be unscathed.

I do wonder what side effects / backlash this transformation will bring for Hibiki, it was never a matter of "if" she'd transform, but "when," ca...

EMPRESS?! I do enjoy what I've seen thus far from Ernst, Theresa, and Frederica... as well as the whole Federacy itself, the "ideal co-existence" nature of it & how the adults seem to be decent human beings... but I'll withhold full trust from both Ernst & the nation itself as secrets still need to be shared, plus I'm afraid Shin's group will be used to further other people's goals, whether militaristic or political. I swear, these kids need the peace & quiet promised by the Feder...

THE TRUTH ABOUT MARIA?! Honestly, very surprised about this revelation... makes me wonder if Mother was attempting to keep Maria from falling apart mentally & emotionally by starting & maintaining this lie. I do enjoy that her words were basically immediately disproven as well, the irony of Kirika's line was perfect for the situation.

Meanwhile, our girl was on fire! ...No, seriously, Hibiki was very literally burning the air & environment around herself and I love this deve...

For now, all I can say is... my heart hurts, the feels are real & the pain from their "final messages" to Lena just hits too hard. Seriously, I've come to truly love this series & its characters, so I'm excited to see what Part/Cour 2 will entail, even if it does make me anxious!

BERSERK HIBIKI RETURNS!!! Okay, I'm sold on this season already, the hype went "plus ultra" with that transformation & sequence of events... so damn glad it's made a return, easily one of my favorite aspects of the series & Hibiki's character after all! Seeing her rampage & instill fear into Nephilim was straight up incredible, the new designs for this form are also very much appreciated, looks even more menacing than ever before!

NO WAY, FIDO?! Seriously, that montage of video clips & photographs from Fido's perspective towards Spearhead's journey, start to finish, was straight up unfair... the feels, the pain, the questions... it's just too much, you know? Still love & hate that I get so attached to these characters, that I find myself interested even after they've passed away. I didn't expect to care so much about the group's "dutiful dog" as well, but apparently, all it takes is one episode, a montage, and ...

NEED A HAND, HIBIKI? ...So, all jokes aside, definitely enjoyed what went down much more than last time, felt like the series hit its stride once again and started to build up the hype again. I don't have much to say about the Queen of the Stage stuff, I'll be honest, cause I don't place much importance on it (beyond what it means for Chris).

On the flip side, the twist with Hibiki & the Nephilim's so damn good... so much for a "fair fight" but we all knew Dr. Ver's an absolute scum...

SPEECHLESS... Simply incredible, the whole fight with Amphisbaena deserves praise, the production staff went all out, not just for the back-and-forth build up from previous episodes, but the conclusion itself was on another level. Seriously, it's went above & beyond what I'd expect, with everyone carrying their own weight, risking their lives, and working so well together that we managed to slay the Floor Boss.

ALL HAIL QUEEN MAPLE! C'mon, Maple Tree, y'all should realize what's bound to happen if Maple's left alone... she'll find secret bosses/areas, acquire weird/busted skills, and create all sorts of chaos as she defies common sense! I can't wait to see what else she'll stumble across going forward, her antics are always an absolute (hilarious) delight!

ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! 😂 I can't, this show's too much somedays, the neck & sneeze incidents were hilarious & it's just too funny that Annerose is taking both so seriously... plus the shounen trope about weighted gear, reminded me of Rock Lee & Goku, that was pretty damn entertaining. Next time, we'll see what Annerose's truly capable of, which is HYPE!

I do hope we learn more about Beatrix, it's pretty significant for Cid to acknowledge someone else's strength, so perhap...

WHAT WAS THAT CLIFFHANGER?! I swear, the situation only seems to get worse with every further development... never underestimate an enemy that's cornered & desperate to survive, that's when they're most dangerous, and Amphisbaena was no exception. I don't know how they'll handle this twist, if it'll stick or not, but seeing both Ouka & Aisha (extremely) pissed has me very hyped for next time!

CHRIS STOLE THE SHOW! I daresay, Hibiki might need to move aside so Chris can claim the title of "Best Girl" for the show, cause her performance on stage was so damn good... and the emotional meaning behind it, in addition to her passion for singing, really saved the second half of this episode for me.

I'll admit, not exactly the most enjoyable episode, I don't really care about Kirika/Shirabe, Maria's semi-interesting, and there's still not much to mention about Mother & Dr. Ver......
