Thank you! I was getting worried there for a minute!.

[tsunade666]

cliffhanger. darn. I just watched the raw and what a fun cliffhanger. I didn't expect that from her. and finally, a formal lesson for kojou to use kenjuu or maybe a realization of what a progenitor was. his aura at the end of the battle is intense.

he really didnt know how to use his kenjuu. he only knew how to spam them but when he fought a more experienced enemy that has full control of kenjuu, he become useless. heck, her sisyet with the assistant of avrora can control the 12 kenjuu, a lot easier and more deadly, and it's the 12th one.

more surprise here too though, not entirely if you consider ad kenjuu as a massive mass of mana.

the enemy vamp can *wear* his kenjuu. he has good controls over it.

So basically he's been so focused on living as a human and denying his new magic nature, to the point he's ill-prepared to deal with more experienced kenjuu/power users; and trouble loves coming down to Itogami a lot.

his always been saved by yukina and the others but in his latest fight. he really was fighting alone. sensei even prevented yukina from helping him, since its a formal fight between the 2.

koujou can pretty much be super destructive but when shown by an enemy that only shows to use 1 kenjuu that has mastery over it and is a lot more experience, he gets beaten up.

it really shows the difference inbetween those 2.

For those interested, there are the illustrations for the 2 Append volumes, with the side-stories.

thanks for the link. I liked the 2nd volume. Asagi? looks lovely in wedding dress.

[Windsgrace]

Aye, thanks. Also if that is Asagi, she indeed looks nice. The picture of the adult Natsuki looks good too. :3

No, it's not. Just the end of part 1. There even has been a tease for "4th Season" a while ago. If they announce more OVAs in the future I wouldn't be surprised. The next Dengeki Bunko Festival will show.

[tsunade666]

The war is a huge disappointment to me. the power of the kenjuu, felt weak and underwhelming. The designs too look crappy. I liked the manga designs more.

[AP24]

4th season will have 12 episodes, but the final episode will be released in June 2021. If they skip Vol 17 and 18 then we should see at least Vol 20 covered.

[redhawk096]

If they keep adapting 1 novel in 3 episodes we will probably see volume 21 adapted as well (even though it has yet to be released) but the author confirmed on twitter that he is working on it and the release date are gonna be long so they might fit everything in 12 episodes.

BD Box release date:

Vol.1: March 25th, 2020
Vol.2: June 24th, 2020
Vol.3: September 30th, 2020
Vol.4: December 23rd, 2020
Vol.5: March 24th 2021
Vol.6: June 30th, 2021

Moreover a new OVA related to STB III will be released in January adapting the "Kieta Seisō-hen" from volume 17

If they use 3d animation for the kaiju battle, maybe it can be improved a bit....

[tsunade666]

season 4 confirmed?

[Estzero1]

Well, I didn't know that the festival was this close .
It's great but also funny how each season had more episodes.
Since we already had Vol.17/18 (even though I'm curious what this single OVA will do from Vol.17) the remaining volumes to adapt are the following: 16,19,20 probably 21 when it will be released next year, 7,8 and 10. I still have no clue about 7,8. I'm still hoping that we will get them eventually but maybe not. As for 10, since Chaos Bride makes her more or less official debut in Vol.20, perhaps they could include something from 10, but I'm not sure if this is even possible anymore.

[Toullaty]

We should have new info soon. The date of release are near.

Vol 1 : 03/25/20
Vol 2 : 06/24/20
Vol 3 : 09/30/20
Vol 4 : 12/23/20
Vol 5 : 03/24/21
Vol 6 : 06/30/21

[Collbrande-Ex]

Um I thought Yukina was the MC not Kojou considering the flow of the series (only seen the anime so far)

Also what is this about the editor and Yukina thing, has it been confirmed legitimately or something the fans believe is occurring?

Isn't this editor situation also a problem because the editor might be overstepping his/her boundaries?

At least this could explain to me why the strongest vampire in existence is utterly useless

__________________________

With these revelations I guess the top of my list of many questions would be what happens to Celesta Ciate after volume 10?

Beyond that I guess I will read the 190 pages for the rest of the questions I have about the series

More or less I would say, if one looks at the afterword of Vol.4. On the other hand, just take the covers for example. Why would a series which is destined to end as a harem (even partially confirmed) only feature one character on its covers, especially when you have a lot of beautiful designs which you could use.
