Karina played dirty here. I think she is a candidate for most sinister character this anime has seen.

They're definitely setting up the season finale from this fight here. Crazy how one character can influence the remainder of the story. Can't forget about Shigeru here because he went some development too.

Look like absolute god is not that absolute, which may be a good thing.

Again, just like I mention in several episodes that most people that end up here are connected to Shigeru. Karina might have more than one connection with Shigeru, after all her "hero" in the real world look exactly just like Shigeru.

Well that was certainly an unexpected twist, the "villain" Carina motivation and motive is different that what I imagine. Everything has been revealed, what is done is done, the only thing to do now is to tie up the loose ends...

Will our Ikemen Gachi Fighter, the Hero, the Angel, and the Demon overcome this?! stay tuned for the next episode.

I think what I only hated (and probably my biggest complaint in the Busamen anime) from this episode is the placement of Karina's revelation. I don't think it's wise at all to reveal it at the beginning of an episode. It's probably just me and my preference, and maybe there are plenty of series that handled identity reveals perfectly before the opening theme started.

Overall, good episode as usual, though the penultimate episode wonder doesn't actually happen in the directing and animations oop.

Shig Sieg is indeed handsome x

Lol he actually turned into a hot guy, albeit due to Leah “accidentally” doing it to him. Interesting to know that he got weaker due to Leah’s special notes making him more handsome.

Not used to seeing our MC with a handsome mug. Funny, but seems it nerfed him. Karina is the girl who framed Shigeru's twin sister?! Small world they live in. LOL Apparently, she was even awful to her twin, who has developed some kind of displacement disorder. And is now crushing everyone.
One more episode left.

So not just another person that Shigeru helped but she was also a victim of the demon Kyouko, that was a fun twist.

Wow, this show just elevated its level a bit! It manages to be hilarious, emotional, clever, and full of decent action. I'm really enjoying how the special notes play with each other.

Also, it looks like Shiratori Reiko's (Karina's) ray of hope in her past life was also Shigeru. I'm guessing that'll come out in the next episode and save them all. Either that or Shigeru says that her sister (Kyoko, right?) ruined his life and that he hates her as well, and then Karina will join their side or something?

Regardless, it seems like kinda a lot to cover in one episode, but, at the very least, it shouldn't be boring!

This anime started like some dumb comedy and got very good with Karina.
But as in all Japanese histories she'll turn good and they'll treat her as if nothing happened I guess...

Love Karina as a villain and her back story. The closeup shots of her stepping scenes are great too.

Watching this episode felt like pure torture. Twenty minutes of ridiculousness.

In the previous episode, I actually felt some sympathy for Ria. But her special note that could turn someone into a “prince on a white horse” really killed that sympathy. Ria is just a girl who only cares about looks.

And what’s with turning Shigeru into a handsome guy? Even if it’s because of Ria’s special note, making Shigeru handsome completely contradicts the title and the whole plot of this anime.

He even gets a nickname in his handsome mode, and I don’t even want to remember it. The other three—Seiji, Seika, and Leeds—already had silly transformation forms. The only one I wanted to stay normal was Shigeru, but they messed that up too.

And the villain? The so-called true god Karina? Her whole motivation is just jealousy over Seika? Seriously?

This episode was beyond cringe.

Looks like more characters are related to the villain girl from the backstory. I hope Sugaru turns back into a bbm.

Was very typical that the bandit defeated Karina the "Almighty God", but was then just 🤷‍♂️ and decided and check out, instead of defeating her.

@gspbeetle Yeah, they seem to have made a LOT of improvements to Karina and the ending as a whole already, the manga ending was kinda rushed, and Karina's character was kinda thrown into it without much backstory.

I don't think the thing about Leah failing to kill Kyoko was shown in the manga nor was Karina's hate for her sister and desire for a god to guide her really gotten into. Ofc they've also made some minor cuts to fit it into 12 episodes, but TBH the anime is overall a better experience so far, White Fox has really done good by making it an improvement over the original.

Yea, that drove me nuts too lol. Like, do you seriously think Leah is the one you should be wasting time on right now?? Cut Karina's damned head off right now while she's weak. What a dumbass.

I'm hoping we find out this whole world and scenario is engineered by a real god specifically for Shigeru, because otherwise the coincidental crossing of paths between characters is getting absurd lol

This anime mc is useless. He has super power to the point he’s willing to lower his status but he rarely shows them. I dont like this type of char, his precense on the team feel unimportant. Aldine actually fought more…

@Strahan He probably thought his special note just permanently negged Karina and was thinking of doing something worse and more drawn out with her. Sad for him that Karina has layers over layers of bullshit hax, but there was no way he knew that.

Wow, this episode was full of action and had a big plot twist in the beginning with the reveal that Karina is the twin sister of the girl who framed Shigeru. On that note it's too bad that Karina didn't let Shigeru explain why he had that handsome look and that her sister ruined his life which may allow them to make amends, maybe that will happen in the next episode.

Side note, another surprise was finding out that Karina's sister is also alive which makes me wonder if she'll appear in this world but with one episode remaining I doubt it.
