In love with the way Kiyoka holds Miyo. It’s so gentle and patient.

“I’m the one who wants you to be here” I’m gonna be honest, I cried. Grown man eats.
Just an absolutely beautiful last half of the episode. After that bitch of a sister triggered her PTSD, Miyo went back into her shell and regressed to her quiet detached self. How thoughtful of her fiancé to reach out to Hana like that. Hana was exactly who Miyo needed to hear from in that moment.
Kiyoka is such a kind and considerate person. Literally exactly what Miyo needs at this point in her life. He was able to deduce the abuse she suffered at the hands of her parents and constantly reassures Miyo at every opportunity. A real man.

“Be more selfish. I’ll accept you whole” “we’ll support each other that’s what a family does”
😫the lengths that Kiyoka goes to assure Miyo are so precious, man. He’s obviously not trained as a psychologist, but he’s doing his absolute best to comfort and reassure an abuse victim and I respect that so much. A real man.
No matter what insecurities she has, he wants to let her know he accepts all of her, not just the good, but the bad too. It is a constant back and forth between good days and bad days. Miyo didn’t get like this overnight and she won’t break the cycle overnight.

Ok but like the fact that Miyo’s only value to her literal grandfather is her supernatural ability is ridiculous. “Why didn’t you come for her?” “We didn’t know her ability would awaken”?? That’s your grandchild dude.
Her father didn’t protect her, her mother’s family didn’t protect her. Everyone is just obsessed with the Usuba’s ability rather than their own flesh and blood. Her mother is the only person who actually wanted Miyo to have a normal life hence her sealing her abilities and it’s heartbreaking. So many people failed her.

Even though it was difficult and led to abuse, I think long-term Miyo’s mom did the right thing by sealing her abilities. Even with all the pain and heartbreak Miyo’s endured, it was because of her abilities being sealed that she was able to obtain happiness with Kiyoka. Had her abilities not been sealed she’d have been used as a weapon or tool.
That scene of Sumi telling Miyo she loved her was everything 😢 😢. I think she fully knew that one day Miyo would come to that tree and be able to see how she felt in that moment. She bet on her daughter’s future and that’s so beautiful. I hate that Miyo never got to really experience her mother’s love first hand. They really deserved to be happy together.

A ton of Sakuga during Kiyoka and Arata’s fight. Didn’t expect a fight of that quality in Watakon. Really cool seeing Kudo go all out. The reveal that the usuba’s are meant to fight humans with abilities instead of grotesqueries explains why the emperor is so hell bent on getting them under his control. If you control the Usuba, you have an iron grip on the country. No one can stand up to you.
It’s a shame that Arata ruined a good deal by using a dirty trick like creating a Miyo illusion. We all know Kudo won.

Sylphie and Rudeus equally down bad. A match made in heaven lol. Sylphie imagining how many kids Rudeus would want to put in her while laughing nervously had me crying man. She’s innocent and cute.
If your friends don’t gas and support you like Ariel supports Sylphie with the Rudeus situation, get new friends. Ariel’s got the whole situation back in her kingdom to deal with and her main priority right now is making sure her friend who has been loyal to her for years is happy. That’s so real.
Sylphie keeping the storm clouds together as she and Rudeus walked, in order to trick him into setting up camp in the cave, was just as funny as I’d imagined it when reading. They did cut from that scene a bit where Sylphie imagines buying Rudeus in a slave market. They kind of teased it because she goes “buying Rudeus” internally, but in the LN her thoughts were more explicit.
The “please undress me” scene is probably the most original and intimate confession I’ve seen, at least in a very long time. The parallels back to episode 3 of season 1 in which Rudeus undressed Sylphie and learnt that she was a girl, now doing the same and learning that Fitz is his Sylphie is so perfect. One of the many examples of why I love this series. You just don’t usually see this type of attention to detail in a fantasy LN.
Took a lot of courage for Sylphie to go through with this plan and it never would’ve happened without Ariel’s help so shoutout to her for reuniting two lost friends lol.
Bind delivered in this episode big time. Quality and faithfulness to the chapter(s) were immaculate. If you don’t speak Japanese or didn’t pay attention to the episode titles you may have missed the last 2 episodes titles “Kono kimochi” and “anata e tsuetai” combine to mean I want to convey these feelings to you. Just very beautiful. Well done Bind. Only omissions were Rudeus enjoying Sylphie calling his staff thick and playing with it and the aforementioned sex market stuff

At least at the end Arata and Miyo grandfather came around to supporting her and helping her go see Kiyoka. They might not be so bad after all despite their flaws. Can’t wait to see Miyo save him using her ability next week.
We really already knew, but now it’s officially confirmed that Mikado, the emperor, is the series’ big bad. Defying him is obviously not going to be easy. Even with one foot in the grave already he can make life very difficult for everyone. This won’t be easy

Hazuki as usual being the real MVP and not letting Kiyoka give up. No one said this marriage was going to be easy, you have to fight for your woman. Just like irl there’s constant trials and tribulations to go through that just make the marriage stronger. If you think about it, this series is just a fantastical version of in-laws from hell lol.
