So, all the three girls are also wreckage washed ashore (seriously, just how much of that can one island gather?). That explains their lack of funds - and why their wardrobes seem so extremely limited. Kaguya ought to be no better but still she does nothing but sleep, at a hospital of all places, and eat. Unless she has her pockets full of gold, she won't be facing a remarkably shining future. But then again, her people might fetch her back before she has a chance to worry about her financial situation.
I wish Xiao-Mei really had bared her all to Rick... She's certainly hot enough not to let down a knight-baker.
I always wondered if people wake up from comas with large medical bills. Kaguya seems to wake up enough but I doubt she's been told anything other than "Bread's here!". People eat bread on that island to the point of malnutrition I reckon.Originally Posted by Kraco
As for Kaguya being in financial trouble, the cafe that opened up should fix that problem. Until you mentioned Kaguya's employment status in your post, I was wondering what the girls would do about needing workers since everyone on the island seems to have their own role already.
The Knight and the Thief has enough of a taboo ring with it to make it tasty. Funny how they said that Fiola's shop caters for a lot of pirates, but I thought they shut the entire island down into stealth mode whenever someone approaches (and meet them with pikemen when they do)

Maybe they make an exception with local pirates. Maybe the local pirates thus also make an exception and only pirate elsewhere, leaving their own island in peace. Considering the royals we saw, I wouldn't put employing privateers beyond their moral code, either.

So many people washed ashore without memories. Suspicious? Yes.
Yeah, it got ridiculous a long time ago. There has to be something behind it, although I don't really expect it to be revealed in this show.
Looks like Hank got tired of waiting and made a decision. Just like a real technocrat dwarf should!
Kind of a gloomy episode all in all. Too bad it didn't result in Rick starting sword practice on his spare time.
Oh, why did I not recognise a milf when I saw one?
I wonder if that kid's father's the pirate.
While it's strange that everyone and their bar-tender seems to have no memories of being washed ashore, I took it more as being a "feature" of this whole thing rather than some underlying menace brewing..
But who knows. Given what the pirate told us, maybe they're all escaped prisoners from the iron warship who jumped or something..
I would have thought Hank'd be too slow to help Xao Mei out in any meaningful way other than getting her some nice gadgets. The preview suggests they're going to take a not-so-sneaky approach next time, but that doesn't seem to be a very smart move.
They know where you live.

Xao Mei making kitty noises... Xaoi Mei looking good.... Xao Mei sleeping nude....

Hank totally could be a thief. I thought his stockiness would have been a burden to Xao Mei, but his dimensions probably would have made him a better thief since you won't see him at eye level (xD). I'm guessing he didn't build the palace himself since he still asked Xao Mei for directions, so he must have just had a general idea of the architecture.

I was already thinking the place folks must have pretty wooden eyes for not recognizing them, but fortunately, in that sense, they pinpointed the culprits exactly. Seems like Hank still managed to do what he wanted, even if he didn't take the last step by himself anymore and the doll claimed its duracell by itself.
Now I'm only waiting for Rick to get his shiny sword back. Surely he needs to defend the island against something.
And yeah, Xiao-Mei was especially cute in this episode.
Then his sword will become round like a rolling pin, which he will use to bake holy magical bread that will appease the berserk angel.
Peace.
I thought that was going to be a Lusty Argonian Maid reference for a while there...

This episode had a strange atmosphere created by the prince playing his harp and philosophising right after being told a massive military fleet is approaching. I couldn't think of anything but fatalistic when I saw that, but on the other hand it also gave the impression he knew something and that was the reason why he wasn't overly worried. However, then later we saw him tell the thieving cat and technocrating dwarf to explain what's going on, invalidating that notion.
Another thing making the atmosphere strange is Rick being so out of everything. I can't help but feel he should be a bit more asskicking action hero, yet he's impressively faithfully sticking to his role as a baker, even if the recent events have made his bread turn sour. I hope the effete prince releases Rick's sword and he puts the shining blade to some proper use.
When red moon rises, blood will be spilled!
The prince doesn't know exact what's happened (what world came, why they're here), but that shit happens.
Here's hoping that the battle will be a bit more spread out in however many episodes we have left and won't be too much of "clean-up" battle just to conclude things in 5 minutes.

Two episodes left, and the preview did suggest things are in motion already in the next episode, considering the episode title is The Decisive Battle. Since we are talking about a baking anime, I wouldn't be surpised if everything was solved already next time and the last episode was fluffy baking again. Rick getting his memories back but still deciding to stick to baking wouldn't dissatisfy me. I mean, whatever his previous occupation was, I'm sure it didn't include being surrounded by bishoujo all wanting to be kneaded and stuffed by his baker's hands and rolling pin...
Hadena - Episode 11

Hmmm, I don't know. Watching this episode made me think that all the good stuff in this series is over already, and we're just watching things wrap up so we can call say this story had a point..

That ought not to be altogether surprising. Baking bread obviously wasn't enough, to be realistic, since this isn't any Yakitate, where bread was serious business, so some flimsy adventure was in order. Not that I'd mind at all because I waited the whole goddam series for Rick to get back his shining blade. I wouldn't call his skills disappointing, either.
What is funny is that the elves still seem to be playing no part. What was their deal anyway? The antisocial elf dude looked like he had some big secret and responsibility, but we never saw him ever since.

All I could think of during this episode was: Don't leave the sword standing in sea water. It will rust.
This felt quite empty for a final episode. Lots of talk that hardly added anything to what we have heard half a dozen times already. But then again, I suppose there wasn't overly much the show could have done about it, with no romance present or anything, and the last enemy boss being some lizardman. So, we got a reset to the beginning state, with Rick still wondering what is going on.
