Name Lancer but used skill like gilgamesh, Shiki is caster but fought like saber. Sofia became bone of her sword and activate reality marvel but Makoto is actual Archer. hmmmmmmmmmm

[@diostaku2]

References to Fate everywhere here, I mean, they literally killed a Lancer right there, clearly it's not a coincidence!

[@bvbstrike3658]

I thought Sofia is something like Berserker 🤔 But the fate reference was intense in this episode. Also the epic music felt like fate xD

[@mercce6750]

Also fun fact: Sofia is Mordred

[@zam023]

You should have said, Sofia activated her Phantasm.

[@khairulanwarzawiyuddin3252]

Both Lancer and Sofia is third-rate 😂😂😂 meanwhile Makoto is SSR and Shikin is 4*

[@verloser]

the priestess knows holy magic the weakness of a lich, thats the main reason he needed her protected

[@tripclash6349]

That nuke is nothing from what he could do when he's pissed.

[@Jmanfire2105]

When he said "I named it after another sword known as a dragon slayer" I’m at least 70% sure it’s referencing the sword Issei Hyoudou got in DxD _"ASCALON!"_ *_"BLAAAADE"_*

[@StylishPlushie]

Not sure if it is the same (I dropped DxD), but they probably got the inspiration from the same place. Ascalon was Saint George's sword and according to the legend it is the blade he used to slay a dragon.

[@atomicblacktiger9334]

you mean the holy sword of the saint Gorgios from Fgo and legends such as the golden legend and the legend of the saint George

[@Hey107]

Pretty sure Ascalon was the name of Saint George's sword. Given that he is Saint George, the dragon slayer, it fits

[@antoniojsanchez7892]

In the novel he tells Sofia that taking him to that dimension was a fatal mistake, each sword is like a life they had like 1000 swords, I mean he would have had to kill her 1000 to win but being there he only had to destroy the swords and then give him the coup de grace Shiki was able to kill Lancer because his sword is for killing dragons so he killed him instantly.

[@diostaku2]

Yeah, literal "I'm not locked here with you, you're locked here with me!!!" moment. In fact, I think Makoto also counts the swords and there are almost 2,000.

[@Timmycoo]

Yeah wish he said it was a fatal mistake in the anime. Would've been more hard with our savage boy Makoto.

[@viosiocraft58]

@@Timmycoo I only watched the anime but I could still tell she made a dumb decision. Basically "Each of those swords in this dimension makes me stronger !" "So it means I just have to destroy all of them." "Uh no wait hold on- !"

[@Timmycoo]

@@viosiocraft58 I definitely did not read your message in her voice ... :P

[@fefyfefingtion1530]

10:36 a kyudoka according to google is the Japanese martial art of archery

[@diostaku2]

Something to keep in mind that the anime omits is that Makoto not only practiced regular archery, but also the art of combat with a bow, that is, the real archery that was used in times of war, not the modern thing that is used as a sport. .

[@brianahanson6449]

Both comments are true. Kyūdō is the Japanese martial art of Japanese long-bow shooting. It is what we see Makoto doing back on Earth, waaaaaay back in season 1 episode 1. The light novel does specify that the level of archery Makoto uses extends beyond the modern revival version of Kyūdō done as a sport and martial art, but the art with its uses in practical, real combat. I did also read that a “kyudoka” is specifically a master of kyūdō. That places Makoto on a whole other level and adds weight to the original context of his comment. He’s not a close combat master. He’s not a sorcerer or master mage. He is a master of the bow, of kyūdō. And he didn’t reveal that card in this confrontation against the demon army and Sofia until the end and in a place away from prying eyes. 👀

[@szenszely5143]

@@brianahanson6449 Nowadays it's just means practicer of Kyudo, even the beginners are called that.

[@brianahanson6449]

@@szenszely5143 Good to know. Thanks.

[@Vonmoonlight]

So what yall are saying is when she had 2000 plus lives with her sword He went for war type of archery Then when its her alone, she is so trash that modern sports archery is good enough She is the equivalent of a dummy board for now practice

[@KelShu]

Sofia is really out here using Unlimited Blade Works

[@argeljoseph1282]

Sofia: I have unlimited life Makoto : no uh

[@diostaku2]

It's still so funny how unimpressed Makoto is with everything Sofia does, the disrespect she received here is not only hilarious to watch, but also well deserved. Also, is it just me or does this ep have several references to Fate? Aside from the obvious, we also saw another Lancer having a bad time.😅

[@Ncyphen]

Not so much "unimpressed," but rather he's learned to suppress his emotions in combat, like a true warrior. The fight in front of him has the topmost priority, he will never let the enemy find a opportunity (a lapse in judgement) to strike.

[@thanawutthongkan7160]

I just realized, when he said he’s an archer, it mirror archer emiya saying he’s a mage.😮

[@rsidle9940]

firing nukes with your bow thats savage and to think that was him being calm AF

[@dragonslikebananas5486]

0:53 version i read had it as devil insted of sorcerer

[@darakkriess1030]

Fun fact: Ascalon is the name of the sword Saint George used to slay a dragon for those that don’t know

[@aeonise]

Sofia: "I am the bone of my sword..." Makoto: "First, stop it. We're not doing that. Second, you _really_ didn't think this through bringing me to where the sources of your power are all out in the open, like a field of targets. Third, I've just been playing around with you, and play time is now over."

[@itemboy6814]

Second day in a row where a dude get's cut in half. Well this was a good one at least.

[@georgejones4898]

Makoto Misumi when he did as the Goddess asked "Yeah, I cleared the Fort ... off the fucking map!" (Visual Aid; kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHyod518idmboMU [I don't own linked video])

Crazy that ge didnt even take any if his rings off this time and still schooled her. Imagine what would happen if he dropped them all.

[@saarsayag8235]

Whe Sophia used that move my mind also immediately went to UBW

[@TarrilavianKentzoor]

The arrow nuke is invention, that used by Ukyo in Dr.Stone in small range

[@Hc2p3n4t4rp]

Ascalos is an IRL sword from legend said to be able to Slay Dragons

[@DTSJ1990]

Ascaron was named after Ascalon, St. George's sword which he used to kill a dragon...

[@Funloverparty]

The reason the Katana is so special is because it was made from a Japanese person, remember the hyumans in the Isekai are bootleg humans, so they aren't as strong, and Lancer turning someone into a sword makes that person's abilities your own.

[@christopherhanton6611]

that episode was so good love when destroyed the fort with arrow like a Nuke

[@user-SolSol1234gffdh]

bro became bootleg Gilgamesh

[@LOUIS45-IV]

lol

[@Hc2p3n4t4rp]

can you belive the Novel was even more one sided? it was essentially she also tried to evade the arrows only to find it was impossible to begin with, the way the arrows were described was more brutal, like trying to parry them was aking to moving a gigant bulding as for their actual encounter, well lets say she is also on fans shit list

[@Hurricayne92]

I thought Makato had some skill that makes its a physical law that his arrows always hit? or am i misremembering

[@Hc2p3n4t4rp]

@@Hurricayne92 not exactly, his skill in archery, as in his training results not a game like skill, trancended to a god like ability, that is to say, him hitting the target with an arrow became a univeral rule so to speak

[@blazedj]

8:57 She don’t got enough wagon to be dragon.

[@Sup_D]

1:00 They are using the translation "Sorcerer" in the same notion as a "Witch".

[@dawgman6654]

Majin 魔人 Means something close to Magic/Demon and person. However, that's actually not the term being used. Majin 魔神 is used. This means Magic/Demon and god. You can sum this up as devil.

[@minnelcandelario6893]

Sorcerer is still accurate specifically the context of sorcerers being tied to witches in the west being evil

[@sonpacho]

In the novel, Sofia's death was much more anticlimactic. I can see why they did it differently in the anime, it would've been cool to stick to the novel but... He used the same attack he used to destroy all the demon's thought transmission devices. I can't remember which episode it was but they definitely showed it in the anime. When he launched a ball of light in the sky and small beams went in all directions destroying all the devices at the same time...he did the same thing to Sofia's lives/swords.

[@KelShu]

RIP to Sealy It's a shame, we knew him so well.

[@zacwicht3189]

She pulled him into her demiplane and then got upset when he damages their collection of swords that act as extra lives and power ups that they keep there , slow clap you out played yourself

[@Ncyphen]

I know it's probably already been answered, but "Majin" is derived from "Magician." In anime, it's usually used to refer to someone with powerful magical abilities. As such, substituting the word with "devil" would not align with what a "majin" is.

[@kaidouseishin4614]

the word "Ma'" in Majin can be translated into either Magic or Demonic depend on the kanji and the author specificly used "Ma" as Magic(Demonic) so it is more accurate to translate Majin as Demon-Man or "the Devil"

[@simoncoc4118]

a arow in heart NO! in the midell off the valley betew the 2 PICS ! its too poetic gg

[@Chara-Kirimo]

thanks for the fast upload

[@yudalaksamanda]

the subtitle I watched(not English sub) said "Demon". so I thought it was just a translation error or something

[@awesomethegreatamazing2651]

The Japanese called him Majin, which could be translated to either Sorcerer or Devil. The manga and WN called him the devil iirc.

[@johnyshadow]

If I´m not mistaken, Slime uses "Majin" for any demihumans/monsters with high affinity to magic. Basically what Rimuru was before his full transformation. In a way, it combines both "sorcerer" and "demon/devil". Edit: I quickly nabbed this from Slime´s wiki: "majin: ..."Demonic Person", also known as Magic-Born, is a catchall term for intelligent Monsters" (might only apply to Slime´s world/anime.) (That said, I have no idea what the "more correct" translation would be. It´s just one of those difficult to translate words.)

[@Nick22440]

I watched another translation and instead of calling him "The Sorcerer" they called him "The Demon" or "Demon Mage" which sounds more appropriate to me.

[@mhicorivera7802]

well in web novel it is called ascalon the same sword that saint George use but i don't know why they parodize the name when there is no copyrights about it

[@Darthorias]

I´m still waiting for episode when other heroes meet Makoto face to face, sadly it will be next season probably, when Hibiki learn how over the top he is and she can´t do anything to contain him or convince him to kill Demons and Tomoki tries to get Tomoe again only to get beat up by 1% of Makoto´s power. (It´t not that much of spoiler based on story so far we all knew this would happen eventually)

[@Animeguy549]

Idk about that. Maybe in 4 season . In s3 makoto will meet some goddes

[@ahomeroinu]

Shiki went off that dude FUCKS

[@shadowrkz2525]

Isn't "unlimited blade works" from Fate series?

[@sam_5702]

Yes

[@fazemam3887]

makoto's memories real world xd

[@SpieleSuchti894]

is sofia dead or not??so the goddess asked him to retake fort stella and he just nukes it and goes there! done

[@gohanangered9650]

It was to save the two heroes and retake the fort. Which he did all of it, without really trying too much. XD The male hero he didn't have to bother with, because sophia already told makoto he was still alive. So he didn't have to go back and check.(also knew she was charmed and she was telling the truth of him being alive) lol

[@Animeguy549]

No the goddess said take down stella something like that.

[@bvbstrike3658]

Do you want to hear about what happened with Sofia? Then spoilers ahead...... Sofia was dead, but she's a half upper dragon. She and all the dead upper dragons resurrected after Makotos attack. But to her poor luck Luto came to her and killed her again. But Luto ressurected her and "erased" all of her memory's and hatred. The intention of that is, she should be reborn to redeem her many failures. Now she works as redemption for Makoto (against his will) in the new build palace where Mokotos parents lived.

[@xingtheevil363]

Am I the only one, who sees a reference in the name 'Sofia Bulga'? If you don't get it, I mean it like this: 'Sofia' is the capital of Bulgaria, while 'Bulga' is a short name of 'Bulgaria'. At least, that's what I think.

[@Animeguy549]

Just a coincidence

[@diostaku2]

Conclusion: the author clearly does not like that city and would like to see it destroyed.

[@xingtheevil363]

@@diostaku2 Just a reminder: I'm from Bulgaria.

[@johnyshadow]

Honestly, it could be both. It´s a normal-enough name for it to be a coincidence. (Sidenote: I knew several "Sofia"s in school, so a city called that is still a bit strange to me. Nice name tho...) But I could definitely see an author just throwing darts at a map to come up with some "original" names. (Better than being called "Stabby McStabface".)

[@zam023]

Did the Goddess told Makoto to destroy Stellar Fort or capture it? I forgot ^_^;;;

[@Sup_D]

It's more like "Limited Blade Works"

[@mireisuzakawa4398]

True, Sofia could still be alive unlike Lancer who got split down the middle. Besides Kuzunoha needs a strong for futre fights, right?

Sadly, we have one more episode, and they're going to cram the last bits of the book this season covered into the final episode. I do hope we get a third season, because the contents in the next book are going to be as much fun as we had this season.

Then let's see next Majin Will shown in AiAtS season 2, 🧐 what that Majin Will be in English...⛱️

[@gampie13]

not realy, the translation is just flat out wrong, the correct translation in english, would be devil. As the surrounding qualifying information and meaning in the original, is spirit/monster/god. And every one around the lake that Tomoe talks with, describe him like an entity on par with the goddess, that is there to punish the foolish mortals for their sins. aka almost a 1 to 1 with how the biblical devil punishes sinners in hell, or how the demiurge goes on a rampage in the material world in Gnosticism. Frankly, I think the translators just doesn't want to include any Christian symbolism, due to politics today wanting to remove it from everything, even though the English language is closely tied to that verry thing

[@PredatoryQQmber]

Duh, this really devolved into random disjointed anime tropes with bad pacing. At least Tsukimichi and ReMonster inspired creation of Slime and Mushoku...

[@gampie13]

that's just the anime adaptation being bad, the novel is way more indepht and there is no bs "anime tropes" per say. Also, this fight in the novel was WAY more one-sided, and set up properly, with a shit load of extra world building and other factors. tldr: the anime is shit compared to the novel, and has skipped so much, that things look like tropes... (even though this is one of the old novels, that established the genre like Mushoku)

[@PredatoryQQmber]

​@@gampie13 Well, let's chalk that out to typical bad pacing in adaptations that both leads to skipping important parts and meandering on unimportant. I also just had a recollection that Makoto's inexplicable farcically edgy behaviour reminds me of 'I stand on million lives' anime which had the same problem but probably even worse.
