Campione - ep05

Majority of this episode focus on the deepening of Godou and Mariya relationship. In the beginning it seems that Mariya is particularly unaware of her own feelings. This fact changes when Mariya's sister Hikari starts interfering by giving her sister a push in the right direction. Hikari does this by messing with the lunch that Mariya is preparing for herself into something that would be shared between her and Godou. Although she is a bit resistant to the idea in the beginning, however what ever resistance she did have fades when she start fantasizing about marrying Godou.

Although Mariya's by the time she reaches school, her conviction has all but fade away. However it quickly returns when she see Godou interacting with Erika. This growing conflict between the two woman grows, but they still remind subtle about because they never saying the they are fighting over Godou. This duel they settle on having is Erika has to strike out Mariya but if Mariya can hit it she wins. The problem is that she has no athletic abilities, but she can see the future so Mariya knows what Erika is going to do. Ultimately it ends with Godou's suffering because Erika's last ball flies low and ends up hitting him where the sun doesn't shine.

Then when all three of them are having lunch together, Erika makes a point on commenting of Mariya's actions. Erika bluntly point-put that Mariya is trying to seduce Godou, however Mariya is displeased with this accusation. She tries to defend against her point that she is simply trying to give Godou proper guidance. This leads to Godou going with Mariya later that day to buy a cellphone, so that she will be able to contact Godou when ever she needs to. Although it is clear that Mariya is going to call Godou for other things than just to give him “advice”.

Then at the end of the episode we receive a bit of foreshadowing about a new enemie. First off Liliana is back, and it appears that she is still seeking the Gorgoneion. Also Salvatore Doni, contacts Godou telling him about another Campione is in Japan. He advises Godou to fight him so that they can have a rematch. Lastly it appears that Godou doesn't have a choice to fight him or not considering that he has kidnapped Mariya, that a battle between the two is unavoidable at this point. Another interesting point is that it appears that Liliana is serving Dejanstani Voban willingly, it will be interesting to see how Godou saves Mariya from Voban.

The size of the mall surprises Miyu, but when it come down to doing what they came for thing become complicated. The reason for this is when Miyu is getting help and once she is alone, only then does she look up to see Akatsuki hanging from the ceiling.

Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai - ep04

It seems that the big issue this time is the overall conflict that Iria is creating between Ryousuke and Lisara. However at first Lisara is just irritated because Ryousuke is fawning over her not at all effect by the fact that she is a shinigami, but is overall unconcerned because she feels that Ryousuke will never meet her again. Although this is proven to be a misplace belief because later at school Iria appears as a new transfer student. This ends up creating greater problems for Lisara because Iria now is turning Lisara goal for being there into a competition between them. The reason is simple so that she can prove that she is better than Lisara.

Then to this end, Iria remembers that Ryousuke ability and is now working towards stealing him away from Lisara. This ends up creating a void between Lisara and Ryousuke, which cause Lisara to leave him behind on continue on her search alone. The while she is doing this Iria is trying to do everything she can to get Ryousuke worked up so that he would release another large burst of energy like she has seen him do before. While doing this she explains to Ryousuke about to broken sword that Lisara used on him, it appears that it is the legendary sword used by a war god. It was broken in two one half given to the Restall clan and the other half given to Galderbroug Clan. It seems that this sword will play a larger role in the story later in the series.

Hagare Yuusha No Estetica - ep04

Things start out with a brief introduction into the fight between Akatsuki and the giant chicken. Although it is a bit disappointing the the fight wasn't more impressive considering the way he summoned his sword. In the beginning as he is defending Miyu he blocked most of the monsters attack but still end up with his arm being petrified, however this injury doesn't really hinder him at all. That even with the loss of his arm, Akatsuki still is able to effortless defeat the monster. Which cause everything that was petrified by it to change back. After telling Chikage and Kuzuna if it wasn't for Miyu protecting them, he wouldn't have been in time to save them. Then with that finished he excuse himself.

It seems like there is more going on than what meets the eye, and Akatsuki seems to have been aware of it the whole time. That Onizuka was the one that reprogrammed the bird, so that he could use it to get revenge on Akatsuki, but also Akatsuki is aware of the deeper truth about Tanaka. That Tanaka has allowed Onizuka to bully him so he would not draw attention to himself, because he is much stronger than he seems. It seems that Tanaka despises Babels existence, however that is not really the major issue. The real problem is that once Tanaka realize that he can't beat Akatsuki, he intends to bring Babel down on itself because the barriers only work to protect the students from each other. This means it is design to protect the building from direct attacks from the students, but before Akatsuki can do anything Kyouya freeze him in a pillar of ice. Then with the issue resolved, Akatsuki leaves with a promise to settle thing between them later.

However when Akatsuki returns with some medi-kits, Miyu pass-out shortly after. This leads to get a further explanation about Akatsuki relationship with Miyu. It seems that since her father died she hasn't cried or express her hatred for what Akatsuki did. It seems like Akatsuki in someway is intent on playing the villain, that he will make her cry and express her true feelings. How it seems he intend to do this is by making it impossible to hide from her feeling and express her hatred for him. Although the question is does she really hate him or is Miyu just uncertain on how to express her feelings.

The next day with the news talking about the attack yesterday, this introduces a new element to the story. That Cocoon is an organization that deals with the children that come back from the other world. However it seems like they are treating them as weapons to adjust and control the power balance of the world. It almost seems like the true enemy in this series has become Cocoon and by association Balel. Does this mean that Akatsuki is planning a war against the Cocoon organization, and is this why the people at Cocoon seems so concerned about Akatsuki existence. Also does it have anything to do with his dead sister, but it seems like Cocoon is stating it's move against Akatsuki.
