ah, okay, didnt understand the "nether regions", and i never heard the term "hooter-nub", what the hell. But it´s also weird that Jibril didn´t show any reaction at all to both of those removals. Come on, even if youre some powerful angel-being, when your genitals and nippels suddenly disappear, you become at least somewhat startled.

I wonder if she even had them in the first place? Her erogenous zones were on her wings after all.
Peace.
why didn't he start with "Flügel" instead of Hydrogen Bomb
instant win G_G no re
the idea of the game was rather nice, but the fact that you could use any language would make it impossible to play.

First thing she said is how you can't directly kill a player...Originally Posted by KrayZ33
Ya I got that after rewatching it too..I wanted to fix it, but the forums were unavailable yesterday.
She mentioned it right *after* shiro accepted the game rules which was rather weird. You'd think that such an important rule would be mentioned earlier.
However you could still argue about whether the hydrogen bomb should've killed her or not, because its a reaction after all.. he didn't summon the explosion directly.
I guess it counts as if you are pulling the trigger yourself if you summon a weapon.

Throughout the game it was often item and counter-item. Both of them understood that was the point of the game. It would be pretty boring if it was just a regular game of shiritori. The whole idea was to "kill" your opponent ('because everything will revert once the game is over'), not wait until they ran out of vocabulary or accidentally used a word that ends in 'n' (probably not considered since they were using multiple languages). The intellectual part didn't matter. The aim was to prevent the other player from being able to play the next word within the time limit.
From Steph's terrified explanation of her race, they had a reasonable expectation that she would be able to save herself.
Had Shiro and Sora gone for the kill the whole time, they probably would have lost. It was because they kept distracting her with stupid shit while slowly, slowly escalating in behind her back with their more advanced scientific knowledge, that she never got particularly serious until the two were ready to make their final moves. That's also why they cut off her magic right away, because she would have the advantage over them (using words and spells they don't know). She expected them to of course, but not being aware of science is what did her in. They were fortunate to leverage her race's arrogance about their own intellectualism against her when she chose that sort of game.
Ep7 was great too
the old king did try really hard after all..
Yeah, quite an interesting episode. And quite a storm for Steph instead of smooth sailing. But that's how it's always for her. Jibril is quite a nice addition to Sora+Shiro's board of advisors. She doesn't seem too imaginative in games but she does know a lot and her powers outside of games are also convenient.
I'm having a hard time deciding what to think of the old king. He sacrificed most of the country in order to possibly learn something useful. If the animal ears folks are a huge country, though, I don't see why they would stick to the game they were playing with the old human king. The previous king is dead, so they might suggest the same game to the new king, but not necessarily. What is Sora+Shiro going to do if they encounter a totally different game after finishing their strategy? Though at the same time considering how intelligent those two are, I can't see them going in so ill prepared. But how the old king's legacy is going to help, then?
I suspect the beastfolk are only good at one game. They have a trick way of winning it every time, so they always make sure to put in a trade secret clause on their victory condition. The kind that if you knew what it was or were good at lying, cheating, or otherwise blocking your thoughts, you could do well in.
Even though her grandfather was more than just a Steph, he lacked the ability that lets the magical races counter it once they know it. I doubt this will be the easiest challenge for Shiro+Sora.
Every time we see more of her, it's clear that Cramy is just a Steph too. Fi doesn't seem to underestimate humans as much as her naïve and pessimistic ally does.
the anime is getting a bit too focused on ecchi-stuff atm for my liking.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Expect more to come. This was adapted from a light novel, and such is the medium.
Peace.
Too much Jibril? Steph not to your liking?
/Buffalobiian points to the door.
The "final battles" in this show have been pretty damn awesome.

edit:
That's why he yelled out Mantle and Core first, to ensure that the earth had those two things that he could take away. Presumably, when the mantle and core get summoned they'd replace whatever was there if it was something different.
As for the fact that he has no spirit, it also suggests that he's not really alive in this world. His consciousness might be here, but his soul isn't. That's assuming that spirit is the same as soul and not something else entirely.

If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Good new episode.
I love the super dramatic exposition by Sora everytime he executes on of his plans. Totally badass.
And the ending was kinda mindfucking. I thought Sora was challenged by the imanity-girl with the elf girl, but then why did Shiro lose her memory? That should be related to the warbeasts´ ability. Hm.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Though I liked this episode quite well, I feel like the video game as a solution to the animal ears kingdom's winning game was somewhat out of left field. At least I had got an impression the world was rustic compared to Earth. The impression was further strenghtened by how Sora+Shiro beat Jibril using science and technology. That sort of lessened Sora's deduction of the animal ears winning strategy. Besides, I don't really see how they could have kept the technology so unknown among other peoples. If they have millions of citizens, there would be thousands at the very least who would sell info or devices to those offering a bit of gold.
Still, I liked a lot the scene where Shiro+Sora were petting the girl like she was a pet, and she enjoyed it like a pet would. That was a nice touch to make the warbeasts more animalistic.
My only guess is Sora did something to make Shiro be forced to retrieve him for added determination. She'll go into super saiyan gamer mode to get him back. Sora's always acknowledged her as the better gamer, plus she plays rather coldly or emotionlessly, which will help her beat the warbeasts who can watch her heartbeat.
We saw from the chess game that she can sort of lose it when she's frustrated, but if she is psychotically focused on getting Sora back, she won't succumb to anything that gets in her way like despair.
Sora's the cheater and schemer, Shiro's the skill and intellect.
HS - Episode 08
--------------------------------
The warbeasts don't have the ability to wipe people's memories. They use the power of the pledges to do that (such as making Steph fall in love). I don't see how Sora would have initiated that by himself either. He's powerless to do that.
My hypothesis is that this is a condition of the game he's about to play (or Shiro's playing).
Because it's a mind game. He only says that he's going to use paper (otherwise he'd lose). He also said that if he lost but had a winning hand, then Steph would also lose. Instead of being a completely random game, his sentence shafts you into thinking certain ways. By extension, this limits the options you'll choose. If he can beat you in your thinking, then he can get a favourable outcome. In this case, he tied.

Personally i'm thinking it's the Human and Elf from before who are trying to keep Sora from getting them all killed.
I like how they changed the ED to match the current situation

HS - Episode 09
-----------------------
Another good episode, complete with diabetes-inducing :3 faces.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Quite a silly episode in some ways. The game also was a bit of a stretch in how Shiro was able to finish it without seeing a damn thing, but otherwise the plan was... shounen heroish. Sora sounded like a villain during the game and after it, all the way until right before the truth surfaced. That's quite an amusing personality, so it's cool. The harem of useful girls (though I'm not sure what Stephanie is good for, other than entertainment) keeps growing. Kurami is crafty enough to win some lesser games, the elf obviously is highly convenient.
Shiro made some good faces, that's for sure.
