So they start the episode with Kayneth dreaming of Lancer's past. Didn't seem clear as to how Lancer died. Well I already know so...

Anyway Iskander seemed to have a nice drink with Mr. Mackenzie. :heh:

Well at least Waver now knows how sick-minded Caster and Ryunosuke are. Fail surprise attack by one of those assassin's too.

Can't wait to see Caster/Ryunosuke's reaction to the destruction of their lair, tears will definitely be shed by those two...

Next episode - Rin's Adventure That's surely going to be amusing nay? More Kariya as well it seems.

I feel bad for Kayneth now...he probably would have preferred dying instead of waking up finding out he can no longer use magic. His wife is a total bitch..

Waver and Rider scenes are always good. And it was nice seeing Waver's reaction to Caster's lair, as well as Rider's manly words.

Didn't expect Rin to show up again, but looks like we see her next epsiode, as shown from the next episode preview.

Assassins are so weak. Can they do anything besides spying and dying?

And Waver+Rider dominates yet another episode.

What is Kayneth's wife true desire? I wonder. :eyespin:


Tokiomi is really boring lol :D I'm looking forward to see him eliminated. :p

finance (arrange marriage) not wife.

The story about Lancer... pretty sad too.
Sola was pretty desperate to obtain that command seal and a servant.
Guess she has motives of her own.
Rider and his kid were pretty much as usual ^^"
Interesting episode.

Yeah, XXX Lancer ASAP

Gotta lead a peaceful life before your life ends. :)

Another victim to the Love spot... Can't really blame Sola-Ul though, Diarmund's curse is too strong.

i would like to have that curse :D
it would be awesome 2 be a chick magnet, literally

that is, until you attract a yandere, then it be a nightmare.

Apparently it's that love spot which infaturates any women that comes across him....

Though if its that bad of a case why not just cover it up with a bandaid? It's not that hard is it?

You'd probably need a powerful special enchanted relic to block it, since it probably radiates sexiness when girls are in its proximity zone even if it's not visible. Kinda like FSN Rider and her mystic blindfold.

^beaten! Yeah, Rider's blindfold is a good example.

I think it was too late to change before Kayneth realized it. And since it is a magical attribute (or however you call it), using a bandaid sounds a bit too plain to work. I don't think coming up with countermagic is easy as well unless it is a common magic that still works like modern magic.

I imagine that it is quite powerful magic that wouldn't be hindered much by a bandaid and anyhow it seems like it had already reeled in Kayneth's wife before he even realized what was going on. Maybe one gaze at the spot is all thats needed.


Anyways about the episode, I felt it did a good job covering a lot of bases as far as character development for Lancer group. Nice to see a bit of Lancer's backstory.


Overall a decent enough episode and I continue to be disspointed about the censoring with Caster's victims. I wish to see this carnage for myself.

A mage of Sola's level should be able to resist the love spot fairly easily actually. Sola just didn't care I'd say.

Nice to see a bit of Lancer's backstory. Wonder how he died. Never liked Archibald but that's tough waking up to that kind of situation. Lol Sola just stole the command spells and Lancer.

Rider and Waver moments are best again. Sad thing for him to see, but at least he knows what he's dealing with. Interesting how he was the first to find out Caster's lair. At least they know about Assassin as well.

Now we got two out three kings wanting to finish off Caster for his crimes.

Iskandar being stoic doesn't mean he doesn't care. Breaking down wont solve anything. Destroying the serial killer duos base was a fuck you though.

Saber is also a stoic but she'd rather haste finishing off Caster before more kids fall victim. Only problem is her master. Who'd rather kill Kayneth.

Poor Kayneth not only did he lose his magic but he was tortured losing his command spell to his own fiancee.

Being Lancer is suffering.

So is it Sol marrying for the money or Kayneth?

He fucked his lord's wife -> lord killed him :uhoh:

To recharge Lancer of course... and this Lancer group is so easy to make dirty jokes about :heh:

Anyway, I was somewhat disappointed again by the censoring of Caster's handiwork, this time all impact was lost from the scene :frustrated:
