Campione - ep08

It's interesting how Godou was force to take a trip oversea for his summer vacation. It turns out as summer vacation was about to begin Erika told him that they were going on a trip. Although Godou wants nothing to do with her plans because they will net end well for him. This leads to him seeking help from Lucrezia Zora who he feel that he can trust because of her relationship with his grandfather, this turns out to be a misguided belief since she is the one that lock the door trapping him with Erika when she was drunk. However the one thing that they didn't plan on was Mariya coming with Godou, which at this point is unclear if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Later in the night when Godou is trying to escape his misfortune, it seems that Doni is up no good. It seems that the magical organization like the ones that Erika and Liliana serve must turn to Campione in times of crisis, although most the times it seems like they only make the situation worse. This is the cause with Doni when Liliana's guild went to Doni for assistance because of the reaction from on of the magical instruments. He just makes things worse because he doesn't want to wait for things to happen, the results in him cutting the pillar. Which result in summoning of a dragon, that later calls the god Persues to do battle with it.

This is a problem because if Persues kills the dragon he might cause the lands near by to rot and die. However to Persues this is not a problem because his duty is to kill the dragon nothing more or less, what happens after that doesn't concern him. Then just as he is about to finish it, Athena and Godou appear. Athena saves the dragon because she is a dragon herself, however she brough Godou along because she felt like it. Then with Persues prey being stolen from him, he decides to do battle with Godou simply because he is their hated enemy a Campione.

Then just as the fight starts, Liliana escapes with Godou to reach somewhere less people will be hurt. Then while they are waiting for Persues, Liliana tells him that she will do anything within her powers to help him. Godou tells her that the most useful things would be if he could gain the knowledge of Persues, that without it the Golden Sword his greatest ability is useless. That because he is a Campione magic cast from the outside will not work, that the only way is from the inside meaning that she has to kiss him. This is a problem because she is unwilling to do so, That means that Godou is limited to his other abilities. Things get worse since it appears that Persues has the ability to nullify Godou's powers after they have been activated. Things end with Godou being shot in the chest with an arrow, the question is how will Godou work his way out of this.

Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru - ep07

Then with the conclusion of another false little sister, the story continues to move forward. It seems that Shougo believes Konoe and Miyabi stories, but it because he can't really remember he is force to take their word for it. This leads to him wanting to be 100% certain on the fact that they aren't related. This cause him to return to the idea that Mister X originally suggested a DNA test, but since they want to keep this quiet it must be done through someone he trusts. After calling Seri-san he receives the material for the DNA test, however the problem is how he goes about getting the samples from Konoe and Miyabi.

Before class Shougo explains to them what he wants to do, and at least initially they were alright with it. However when Shougo was wiping the inside of Konoe's cheek, Miyabi starts to believe that he is going to use the cells for something different than what he says. Which is very idiotic to me at least if you consider their past actions. Then because of Miyabi's outrageous actions she make a scene where Shougo is seen as a pervert. Personally I think if she isn't willing to put his doubt to rest, then Shougo should just pursue Konoe instead. Also there is the fact that his mother would probably feel that Miyabi isn't dignified enough.

Things start going in a different direction when the school board of directors starts observing the school. This ends up making especially the teachers very tense, but it also creates a situation where another “sister” ends up revealing herself. Whether this is another fake or the real will be revealed in time. Later during lunch, Mana goes to get Shougo because Genda the head of the board of directors and the owner of a large company wants to meet with him. Then during this meeting the schools intercom is use in combination with the voice change phone, announcing to the entire school that he has a sister. Although lucky everyone believes that it is a prank, that the school is to blame because the student have too much freedom.

This leads to the start of another investigation, that it turns out that all the key people that knew about the phone are accounted for during the event except Rinka the vice-president of the school. One of the things that is strange is that Mei just place it in the trash, it almost as if it was set up so that the phone could switch hands without out Mei being directly involved. However conveniently Rinka is currently suspected for cause the incident is forcing Shougo to become a part of the disciplinary committee. Her justification for this is because he is directly related to the incident. Then with this Rinka began to the suppression of the entire student body. There is also a possibility that Rinka could of used the phone in a similar way to Mei so that she could use Shougo to create what she feels is an ideal school environment. However there is the possibility that the conversation was pre-record since it was announcement and not a conversation.  

Kono Naka ni, Imouto ga Iru - ep06

In the begging Shougo confronts Mei about going back to America. It turns out that her store is barly getting by because she can't keep it open all the time. However Shougo believes it has more to due with Mei's strange presentation of her shop, although he doesn't voice this opinion out-loud. This leads to Shougo trying to help save her shop, but it seems like Mei believes that it is only a matter of time before it fails. Shougo on the other hand hasn't given up hope yet, that there still might be a chance to turn things around.

This leads him into starting an advertizing campaign, the first step towards this undertaking is the creation of the rough draft. Then once he has this done, he goes to the Manga club to have one of the main members help with the creation of the AD. While he knows that the Manga Club will be able to create it, but Shougo also needs so way to distribute it. Then towards this end he goes to the publisher of the school newspaper that wanted to interview him, to get them to print the AD and in return he will do the interview. Also as this is going on he gets Rinka to help out with expanding Mei menu, while Mana taste tests. Lastly the day before the event Shougo pass out some fliers with some help from the sisters that work at Mei's Cafe.

On the day of the event it appears that Shougo's plan was a success, so much so that various people that helped in the preparations of the event are also working there at least temporally. That some of this success is due to Shougo popularity with the woman seeing him as a reliable older brother. Anyways at the end of the event, it appears that once Mei totals everything up she can remain open for quiet awhile longer. Once she realize that she shouldn't have underestimate him, Mei basically tells him that they should start making babies. That the two of the together would create the ultimate child, can anyone say world domination. However Mister X helps him out by calling Shougo that he needs his help to find his lost hat.

Then next day when he gets up early expecting a call from his “Sister” but never receives one, he takes this time to look outside and see that he has the perfect view of Mei's room. Then in this moment everything falls into place. Shortly after he confronts Mei in her room about everything that been going on, then traps her into reveling that she isn't his sister. However Mei does reveal that she does know who his sister is and that they are friends. That they first meet many years ago when Mei's mother was still alive, and that she won't tell him who she is because she is an unwanted child. That truthfully even if he is able to accept her that doesn't mean that the rest of the family will. Although Shougo surprise her by not pressing the matter and only asks that she remains being friends with his sister. This means that if it's one of the five girls that means that there are only two remaining unless there is a joker in the deck.

Hagare Yuusha No Estetica - Ep08

Things are starting to get interesting with the introduction of the person that is suppose to bring Miyu back. However the point is that Miyu secret isn't going to remind quiet for much longer. Although this isn't the point of this episode, it is more to create the setup as well as start the practical exam. It turns out that in this exam there is about 40 teams with about 4 people per team which means there is about 160 students. That depending on how go you do there is potential to get put into a better class by beating someone that is ranked higher than you. Also it appears that the student council is participating however Kyouya is going to be excused because there is a Cocoon summit that he must attend. This disappoints Akatsuki because he will not get to fight Kyouya. However it seems if there isn't any setback in the meeting there still might be chance for them to fight towards the end, it just depends on how much Akatsuki is about to thin the ranks.

Once things get started, it is clear that Akatsuki is on a fairly good team. Although he isn't the type to sit back and let them do all the work. This leads to him going wild and wiping out team after team with little to no effort. Although back with the teachers seeing these result are impressed that one group has wiped out so many. However when the student council walks in Haruka gets pissed off by hearing the teachers praise Akatsuki group. This cause her to force the student council out onto the field earlier than planned. Uesaki and Minami don't have a problem with dealing with Akatsuki since he has been a problem from day one. It just that they feel that Haruka should clam down and not make everything so personal. The fact is that Akatsuki is skilled, and there is potential that he has been holding back even more power.

Later when Akatsuki group is about to get settle in for the night, the student council appears to challenge them. Truthfully they are there to fight Akatsuki but officially they have to fight his team. In the beginning Miyu tries to convince him to not face them only that there is no reason that he should. Although once she realize that he did something pervert to Haruka when the where at the beach she quickly changes her tune. They travel some distance away from the rest to have their battle, but Haruka wants a fair fight with him. Once things begin things quickly go down hill for her, Then when Akatsuki is about to end it, Minami and Uesaki jump in. This upsets Haruka that they never agree to her terms and there is no reason to fight fair with someone like him. However this is just what Akatsuki want all along, but before thing can really began Kaidou breaks up the fight. Kaidou reason for this is that someone broke the barrier, but when Akatsuki see a massive cloud of smoke rising from where Miyu and the others are he completely disregards to student council. This results in the episode ending in a cliff-hanger.

Campione - ep07

Then with the continuation of the fight, it focus mostly on the conflict between Liliana and Erika, since Godou needs time to recover from using the bird avatar to escape with Mariya. However it appears that Erika and Liliana are old acquaintances, that Liliana bears a grudge against Erika. It seems that after Erika became Godou's mistress, this gave Liliana's Grandfather an idea to have Liliana to somethings similar with another Campione. Which has forced her to be the unwilling servant of Duke Voban. Now that Erika knows she is not doing it out of her own free will, this means that all Liliana needs is a reason to void her service to the Duke. Erika being the devious person that she is has the prefect blackmail to give Liliana just the right reason.

Then with Liliana switching sides, combined with Mariya recent vision. This gives them the edge to make a come-back against the Duke. Since the reason that the were-wolf was able to eat the sun was because it was the manifestation of Apollos power. Although since Godou now knows of the god, he is able to inherit the right information from Erika so that he can use the golden sword. However things don't end so smoothly since it appears that Duke Voban has kill many gods that Apollo was just one of them. That the control over the dead is driven by Orisis, and not by Apollo so that the Duke isn't finished yet.

Since Godou's power are so difficult to use, Erika and Liliana set in to protect him until he can find a way to counter Orisis. While this is going on Mariya has another vision, that Orisis and Apollo share a common trait. Mariya tells Godou if he remakes his sword it should be effective against Orisis, but when he tries to it is unable to maintain a stable form. Erika tells Mariya that is because Godou just doesn't have enough information, this means that Mariya must kiss Godou to relay the information that he needs. This proves to be successful but he is only able to stop Duke Voban's undead servants before they killed Erika and Liliana.

Things get worse because the Duke summon forth a three elemental gods that give him control over the weather. Then with this he summon lighting to strike down Godou but before he can Godou use the goat avatar, which appears to also have control over lighting. Also it appears that it posses a second ability to gain strength from others. That means through the support of the other it strength his lighting. However they are not the only ones lending him strength but the souls of the dead that wear enslaved by Osiris are also helping. This deals a massive blow to the duke but his not finished yet, then as it appears they are going to enter the third round the sun rises. That signals Godou victory, and now the Duke can never touch Mariya again because he is a king that has to honor his word. Also this results in freeing Liliana from having to serve Duke Voban.

Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga iru - ep05

The mystery continues when a new little sister calling, and she seems to implies that she is the same one from his fathers funeral. This makes Shougo's life a bit more difficult because of the time that she is calling. Since she is calling early in the morning he has to get up even early to wait for her call, this ends up cause problems for him since he isn't a morning person. One day when he is about at the end of his rope, he decide to catch up on some of his sleep in the infirmary. However interestingly enough it almost seems like Sagara Mei was waiting for him to try to sleep in the infirmary. This leads to her offering Shougo a special place to sleep, but in return he has to come to her cafe.

In the end Shougo agrees because he believe that it will be easier to sleep if he is in a place that no-one knows where he is. Once he enters into Mei's special room, Shougo is almost wishing that he stayed with the Infirmary. Although it looks like a storage room, in the back corner behind a bookcase there is a futon. Which it appears that Sagara Mei uses everyday, and her offer implies that he is going have to sleep next to her on the Futon. Which leads to him believing he isn't going to get much sleep. Although he still carries through with his end of the deal by later going to Mei's Sister Cafe.

Once School is out Shougo head to Mei's Cafe but since Miyabi is coming with him he has to wait until she finishes her swimming pratice. Once they arrive Shougo is uncertain on how he should feel being called Onii-san (Big Brother) considering he has a hidden Imouto (Little Sister), but Miyabi is overjoyed about someone calling Onee-san (Big Sister). Later Shougo get a bit confused over the fact that the menu sound a little strange, so to play it safe he orders love omelet because it sound the most normal. It turns out he made a bad choice since it is made with too much salt, and he suppose to eat it restfully like a big brother would try protect his sister feelings. Although when Mei questions him on how it is going and if the moe has killed him. She is extremely disappointed that it hasn't, and this is when she explains the theme is that to have a little sister as your wife is a forbidden fruit. Although this statement hits a bit too close to home for Shougo.

The next day he decide to sleep again at Mei's special place, when he opens the door he is shock to see Mei dressed as a Cat-Eared Maid. Which result in him coldly shutting the door and leaving. Mei quickly calls out to him, and he come back. This leads to Shougo finding out why she is running a cafe. It appears that she is adopted, that the reason her father adopted her was that he wanted to explains her unusual skill at math. However when he move to America to be a professor, she remind behind with her mother. It turns out that her mother ran a cafe out of the same shop that she owns, but when she died. Mei had to move to America to be with her father, and her mothers shop had to be sold. However later when she published a paper, she earned enough money from that to move back to Japan and buy back the shop that carried so many treasure memories for her.

However when Shougo mention wants to see this paper, Mei begins to search the room for it. Although in the process she knocks over some books to reveal the same model of cell phone that Konoe has. Then to Shougo this means that Mei is currently the most like the person that has been calling him. Once he gets over his shock he goes to talk with Mister X, and explains the situation, that it is possible that she is his little sister even though she is a year ahead of him since she really doesn't know when she was born. Nothing get resolved when a reporter interrupts their conversation question Shougo if he know whether or not Mei is really going to close her shop down and head back to America. Then the episode ends with this shocking bit of news.

Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai - ep07

In the change of location from the human world to Grimworld, many things have change in the story. The first thing is the importance of Tuleslay, which is a key building important in the continue survival of Grimworld. The reason is that it maintains the Sun as well as managing all the energy that is collected from the human world. Also it appears to control how large or small the portal linking Grimworld to the human world is. Another important factor is that for a long time it was controlled by the Restall clan but recently the Garuda-Burogu clan has rebelled. This has ultimately lead to a switch of control of Tuleslay, however the deeper reason for this rebellion is unclear. It might be that the Garuda-Burogu clan doesn't like the idea of sharing or they might just not agree with how Tuleslay is used.

Once they are truly in Grimworld, Lisara wants to make a plan. However this proves to be meaningless since Ryousuke charge towards Tuleslay thoughtlessly. Which results in them being over run by the type of monsters they have been fighting. This ends with Kyuuru having to protect Ryousuke when he is left defenseless, but they are saved by Iria and this allows for them to retreat. Things become much worse once Ryousuke wakes up in Lisara home finding he is unable to summon Graham. Which means that if he tries to rescue Mina, he will only be giving the enemy Graham and that is the last thing that they want.

Later through Iria we learn that Merlot and Garuda-Burogu have teamed up, and Iria is currently has orders to invade Lisara's group and lead her it a trap. It seems like she is going to play her role as the pawn, but will she just let Lisara die. This become more clear when Iria tells Lisara about how she knows of a secret way into Tuleslay. That means that since Lisara is basically going to be traveling with a spy, at then end of the next episode we will see why Iria's loyalties lye. Then while this is going on Ryousuke is trying to gain back the use of Graham, however the question remains why did he lose the ability in the first place. Is because he use it too much, or is because that he is in Grimworld that his Shinigami half is now awakening.

Hagare Yuusha No Estetica - ep07

It seems that now the plot is going start getting deeper, since the things are starting to focus in on what is going on in the other world. However we only receive bit and piece through out the episode while Akatsuki is having fun on the beach. Although there are a few points that are point out, the first being that there is some desire to find the demon lords daughter. The reason being to subdue rebel factions that are still loyal to the demon lord. This means that they intend to use Miyu as some sort of political prisoner or kill her to destroy the demon lords lineage. However the last point is the belief that she now currently is in the human world by passing through the gate, but the only way for that to happen is if someone from that world helped her. This implies that Miyu's secret isn't going to be secret for much longer.

Then while all this is going on Akatsuki is enjoying a day at the beach with his “Sister” and her friends. Also it appears that the student council is enjoy a day at the beach as well thanks to the mother of the little girl that they saved. However this leads to Haruka being force to hang out with Akatsuki because she needs to stop avoiding the Ousawa siblings. Then for the most part things seem to go find but once Kaidou appears things start going down hill, when he tells them about the contest that is going on. That they might want to joy because entry is free but he can't because he is working for the contest organizer.

Things make a turn for the worst when the runner in this game of tag is chosen to be Akatsuki. Why this is a problem is because the type of game it is. That the contestants have to steal the runners swimsuit, but Akatsuki has no intentions of having his swimming trunks getting stolen. However once he thinks over the rules, it only means that the winner is the one in possession of his trunks. That just means he has to keep them from being stolen for an hour. The other thing he realize is that there is nothing in the rules that says that the runner can't steal theirs is return.

Then with the tables turn things become more interesting, but in the end the last ones that are in possession of their suits are his friends. They decide that Miyu and Haruka will run and hide while they hold him off. However Chikage and Kuzuna's plan to use their elemental magic to stop Akatsuki's rampage doesn't work to well, since he surfs on Chikage's water blasts and can travel through the earth like it's water. Then he chase down Haruka to the girls changing room which he enters defiantly because he beliefs that the contest runners will take full responsibility for all of his actions. However things come to a close when he enters the water where Miyu is, which result in them both getting disqualified because they went out of bounds.

Campione - ep06

In the aftermath of Mariya's abduction, Amakasu contacts Godou. They end up meeting at the temple where he tells them that Duke Voban was responsible for her abduction. Then when Amakasu ask Godou if he would help, he immediately agrees. Erika disagrees with his decision, however once he explains that Doni has already contact him telling him that this Duke was already in Japan that this would be the perfect time to pick a fight. Although when he suggest that he would be doing this alone, Erika insist that she would be going to and there is nothing that he can do to stop her. Once that is resolved Amakasu is more than happy to tell them where Duke Voban is.

Once they arrive at the location, a bit of resistance is encounter when they are force to fight some of Voban's undead minions. However soon enough they reach the man himself, where they proceed to engage in negation. Although it is more Erika doing the negation and Godou making demands. This leads the duke to tell him that she is his property, that if he wants her back he should have brought something of equal value. Voban see her only value is to be able to summon a god for him to hunt. That if he doesn't have anything, then there is nothing further to discuss.

Once this is brought up, Erika go forward and tells that they should go forward with Salvatore suggestion. What Erika processed to do is basically insult the duke by repeating a fake message from Salvatore, that Voban is to old to be a Campione anymore that he isn't even worth his effort so he simple sent Godou that was in the same area as the duke. Voban doesn't appreciate this, and to further the insult Salvatore stole one of his kills while his friend Godou stole his other. This cause Voban to start a game with Godou where he gets Mariya back, but he must keep her until the sun rises. Then just to make things more interesting he is going to give Godou a half-hour head-start.

Then as things get underway, Mariya tries to convince Godou to just give up and save himself. Although Godou is unwilling to do this because he isn't going to abandon his a friend in need. Then as it turns out that Duke Voban is going to be a difficult enemy to beat because to effectively use his powers he must know his enemy. Once Voban began his pursuit, his hunting dogs are easily enough defeat by Erika but when the duke himself shows up things get more complicate. The reason for this is that when the duke summons his minions, but when Godou uses the white horse to summon the sun to defeat the Duke. This only results in the duke transforming and eating the sun. The episode ends with Godou being force to retreat with Mariya using his second power meaning he only has eight left to use in this fight.

Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai - ep06

This time around they are trying to find out why Ryousuke has both piece of the Graham. This leads to Lisara explaining why this is so important. The sword was split and divide between the two clans of Grimworld the Restall and the Garuda Burogu. Since Ryousuke already hear this from Iria, he interrupts Lisara by saying the one that Garuda Burogu possessed was lost. However Lisara wonders where he heard this from, and Ryousuke tells hear that Iria blabbed something to him once. Then shortly after he mentions her name, she appears behind him. Although she is shock to learn that Ryousuke is in possession of both half's. When it is clear that they aren't getting anywhere, Mina suggest that she might know someone that might be able to help.

It turns out that this person turns out to be Ryousuke's own mother. After his mother embarrass him a bit and each of them introduce themselves to his mother. This leads into his mother talking about how she meeting his father, that he was just standing out in the rain. This sounds a whole lot like how Ryousuke met Lisara. It turns out that his father lost his memories so she game him the name ryousuke. Then later on before he was born his father started to get this distant look, until one day he stabs her with this broken sword and says that he is intrusting it to his son. Although when she woke up she was fine and Ryousuke was gone. This explains where the other half went and why he possess both halfs, this also means that he has connections to Grimworld. This also could mean that his death that Lisara foretold doesn't mean he is going to die but maybe he will just stop being human and transform into a shinigami.

Now with the major question answer, this leads to some of them questioning on how they will awaken Graham. This question become the greatest issue for Kyuuru because when she thinks about how Ryousuke generates energy. This leads her to believe that to awaken Graham sex will be required that if she wants to win Ryousuke over then she might not have much time left. However an interesting point is why is Mina so willing to help her win over Ryousuke when she herself is in love with him. This leads to the next day where there are several attack, which ultimately result in Mina getting capture by Garuda Burogu. That it seems like he wants Graham and he is using Mina as bait to get Ryousuke to come to him. However is his motives so simple since it could be possible that he knew that Ryousuke had the missing half and sent Lisara to the human world to unknowingly give Ryousuke the other half. The other interesting point is that his appearance is very similar to dark vadar, could this mean that the master mind is Ryousuke's father.

Hagare Yuusha no Estetica - ep06

This time instead of focusing on one major event like they have been in the past, this time they are focusing on multiple smaller events. The first of these is that in the beginning we find that Kyouya the student council president is going to be gone for awhile because he is providing extra security for a political conference. This means that Haruka is in charge while he is away, but this can't be good for Akatsuki. Anyways this leads into focus on class B where they are taking their tests, which is use more as a reference point that states the practical exam will be coming soon. However this leads into the return of Kaidou coming to meet Akatsuki, and it appears that the test he was talking about is different test.

It appears that he thing that Kaidou want Akatsuki to do is at the schools test track. It seems that there is a very special motorcycle here that is very picky about who it lets rid it. It seems that for a long time Kaidou try to get Sleiphir to accept him but in the end he had to give up. Although when he hear about Akatsuki, he believed if it would accept anyone than it would have to be him. Once Akatsuki realize that it isn't going to be that simple because it has a defense system that will electrocute anyone who touches it. When the mechanic explains that the shock he felt was just Sleiphir friendly version of hello, but if he tries again it might just kill him. Although when he hears that the last person to ride it was his father, this removes all the hesitation that Akatsuki had. That for some reason he hates his father but the reason why will probably be explained later.

In the end Akatsuki is successful but in doing so he ends up bring Haruka down on him. This leads to her complaining about and where there is trouble he is always not far behind. Then is goes even further into explaining that anytime something like this happens the student council has to be informed. Although once she hears that the mechanic is going to give the bike to Akatsuki she tries to confiscate it. However when she tries the bike activates it's defenses, which results in the bike striping Haruka. In a way she is lucky that the spell changed when Akatsuki became it's master, although it would be interesting if she where to try again. When Haruka receive a call, she decides to let Akatsuki go for today because she doesn't want anything to do with his bike.

The call that she received was about a terrorist attack done by Ake no Tasogare. However what is strange is that Haruka never took the time to go back home to get a new uniform. Which considering how her follow member question her state of undress she probably should have. However the little wardrobe malfunction aside, her anti-terrorist mission was mostly successful expect that they capture a little girl. In the end everything turn out to be alright when Akatsuki stepped in to help. Things end with Haruka returning Akatsuki jacket, but it appears that her deep feelings of hate are turning into love.
