Look up at the sky! It's the aurora borealis! No wait, it's just Makoto shooting off a firework 🎆

Hopefully people are a little happier that things are happening, but I guess it's still very low action-wise. The mutants were never a threat at all to the main cast, and that's spelled out very plainly by Zara. They can just stroll through the streets and clear any out on their way, while the actual guards, mercenaries, armies, can't even handle a couple, and not without losses.

Can clearly see all the important people realizing just how powerful Makoto and crew are now, especially with Sairitz upgrading the honorifics used when speaking to Makoto. Hopefully means that Makoto will get doormat'd less often, but I guess we'll see.

The transmission restoration felt a bit lackluster in the anime, but I guess it's not that important. I feel like it wasn't really clear what he did, not that the novel makes it any clearer, but obviously I think Tomoe is supposed to be implying he didn't destroy the devices to disrupt telepathy, but instead shot a spell at every single person in the entire area to block or counter the device, that was my understanding at least, I could be mistaken.

And now we see that it was all a ruse! Oh my goodness, finally, this is what I've been waiting for. I love that this whole thing was just a distraction from the actual plot. Seems like the demons had a lot going on while we were stuck in Rotsgard, who knows what is happening in the rest of the hyuman world.

I didn't really like Aqua and Eris in the novel, but I actually completely flipped my opinion in the anime. Their comic relief is pretty good.

I think that Aqua and Eris are funniest in the manga iteration of the story. I also didn't think they were that funny when reading the WN, but they absolutely steal the show of any manga chapter they are in.

I know it is a part of the worldbuilding in this show that the hyumans rely on the Goddess's blessing and numbers to win their battles with the demons, but it is frustrating that they have essentially no concept of strategy when it comes to war. The first season saw them charge in a column, up a hill, towards a fort, right into a trap. Then, this season we see them not even conceive of the idea that this terror attack and communications disruption could be used as a way to slow the response to an invasion elsewhere.

I'm sure you can tell I'm slightly biased here and overlook a lot of flaws 😆

It does feel kind of odd the demons can just march on both human capitals at the same time. Surely there should be like, a front line? Defenses? I suppose we're meant to think they got passed them, or somehow avoided them like teleporting, though teleportation seems like a big deal, I'm not sure what Limia king meant by "they appeared by star lake". Like, just spawned there?!

I can see what you mean in that a common complaint is to make one side seem smart, just make the other side act dumb. The hyumans do seem pretty lacking overall, though there are some who are at least realists like the princess. Rona always seemed like a pretty good strategist to me... but then again her first strategy is just "lol, hole in ground". I much more prefer all the other stuff like glamored demons showing up next to the world leaders which shows how far their reach/planning is

cut or maybe next ep stuff?

I do think it's fairly important to note, at least from memory, I think the demons didn't block telepathy until after the attack started. So the last anyone heard from Rotsgard, was the king/princess under attack, send troops, and then communication went dark.

Maybe my interpretation is wrong and the firework spell was aimed at the devices. I wish it was more clear, as in the WN it clearly states it hit Tomoe as well, and I wouldn't have expected her to have one. Here, we can't really see that but I'm not sure if that's just because of the view or a change. I assumed it had been a callback to the petrification stuff showing that Makoto could make people immune to things but, maybe not.

more novel firework stuff

The part that would make me think it's targeting the devices is that Root says "Did he get them all?" And Tomoe is like "Well, there isn't a second shot, so yea, I guess so". Wish they kept that. I feel like this scene really is the first showing of how powerful Makoto has become, as sure we get some scenes with training some kids and stuff but this is like, wide area, mass target spell that he instantly casts without a single miss

Kuzunoha on the move! I love that Makoto is just strolling around town with his crew dispatching monsters left and right as they go. The trumpet blaring also made it feel like a Western movie and they are strolling down the street for a shootout:

The action was not really what I was hoping for this episode. It was very quick and largely happened off screen so that we saw more of the conversations that are happening instead. I really like this story and the worldbuilding in it, but I do think that it has been pretty slow through this whole arc. I remember it being a bit more dramatic when I read it in the WN.

The restoration of the telepathy is such a huge flex by Makoto and is a key part of him getting a lot of respect from basically all the world leaders. They approach him directly, bypassing the local Academy leadership, asking him to restore telepathy. Then, after giving it a tiny bit of thought, takes care of it immediately. This basically shows all the hyuman leaders that he could have done this at any time.

Finally, we got some more Eris and Aqua this episode. I appreciate that they didn't really think through that they would be trapped inside with the students as well. But, any excuse to strike cool poses is enough for one of them at least (@rikka@ani.social):
