This latest episode was a definite slowdown from the pace of the last few.

To destroy evil you must become an even greater evil.
A slowdown but we got a bunch more world-building. Getting some of the details about the founding of the Orte Empire was good stuff, and the brief cameo by Tamon Yamaguchi was fun.

Saint-Germi's just bringing in the JoJo out of nowhere. "Twinkies" and lipstick, good lord.

So happy Tomokazu Sugita gets to ham it up once again, though. :allears:

I feel like now that they've started dropping the completely unsubtle hints I can say this:

It's a story by the dude that did Hellsing that includes a lot of real world historical figures, of course the main villain is Jesus.

It was not just the healing hands and making food out of nothing, but the last episode has the big bad talking poo poo about fig trees which Jesus liked to do in the bible. In the Bible, Jesus cursed a fig tree so it bore no fruit and later they all found the tree just up and died.

If it isn't Big JC, then it has to be someone big wig Christian that wanted to emulate Jesus.

I wonder if the Chinese guy that claimed to be the brother of Jesus Christ will show up. That would be pretty loving crazy.

There was a bit of French Cancan hidden in the music when Nobunaga and the elves were attacking the cavalry in the woods.

I like seeing these history guys bro out. I like seeing Nobunaga commiserate with old west people only for him to one up them on being a gun nerd from an earlier period of time. I like seeing Toyohisa acknowledge that Hannibal went through some real poo poo and senile or not is p. hardcore.

That pilot guy is a pain in the rear end though I feel sorry for those kobolds. Did Japan supply their soldiers with uppers or something? goddamn

Japan gave their Kamikaze pilots meth before suicide missions...... and pretty much every sides pilot/tank crew was on meth just to keep awake and going. Hell a japan's dude basically invented what we currently call meth in 1919!

It's not only the Civ 4 theme, but the lyrics are the Lord's Prayer in Swahili. I imagine Black Jesus will play a big role in the next episode.

-e- Man I'm an idiot, I forgot what AD&D actually is.

Anyhow, I like Nobunaga's ability to instantly realize the military applications and impact of anything he gets his hands on.
I'm not a fan of every character reminding us of how much of a badass toyohisa is, though.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

I'll watch this series all the way through solely for each time Nobunaga manages to work his way up another step of the history of firearms development and gives some weird, offputting smile in response.

I like that our protagonist is a psychopath who likes to charge into battle screaming "GIVE ME YOUR HEADS."
I will say that the lack of elf suffering has been a huge problem in my opinion.

they rallied behind what is essentially an unusually tall dwarf with a fixation on decapitation. the elves are all incredibly far out of their comfort zones and they aren't going back any time soon, so they don't have a chance to be assholes like elves in most stories.
