There's the epic clashing of godly powers I've been waiting for. Voban just keeps pulling something new out, so Godou has to keep matching him. And to do that, he not only has to recruit Liliana, adding to his harem, but also go the next step with his last harem member. Of course, the kissing is a little different than when it's coming from Erica. As a result, Godou gets to show off some shiny new epic powers and continue to overpower Voban. Daybreak comes and Voban gives him the victory before anything more can happen. Ugh. I was pretty happy with the episode for the most part, but I really didn't want to have to see him yet again.

- Gotta inject the magic directly.
- Erica and Lilly are fighting each other. Seems like they have a long history with each other.
- So Lilly served Voban unaware of his tyrannical schemes. Now she serves Godou.
- Now, a kiss with Erica to exchange knowledge.
- Voban gets pierced by a bazillion golden swords, and not one scratch.
- And now, Yuri kisses to exchange knowledge. Whoops, that didn't work.
- C'mon, unite those hearts. Now, it finally works.
- And Godou can use lightning. Unleash the goat.
- Voban is still standing, but now the zombies are freed, and it's daybreak.
- And it's a kiss by Erica, and Tokyo Tower falls down.

After the last two episodes were lacking, this one is quite amusing to watch the battle unfold. Yuri was acting all cute with her kiss in a failed attempt to exchange knowledge. Looks like the next episode will be a beach episode. While this show has been what I expect out of a harem, it's more entertaining to watch than a good number of them.

Summer fun episode, well, partly anyway.
Looks like it's time to relax..
Godou & Erica have a chance deepen their relationship.
Although it seems like it was pretty one sided.
Well, the quite time ended fast since the enemy never sleeps.
That Athena sure dropped him in the middle of trouble.
It was a nice fight though it was obvious that blond guy is not a pushover.
That cost Godou.

Saabisu, saabisu...

Then serious business. Wasn't really expecting it to change quite like that, but I guess that's fairly common. Surprisingly not too bad.

- Time to hit the beach.
- Next, it's to the hot springs.
- While the rest of the harem is bathing, Erica and Godou are alone in a boat.
- And Godou escapes... to the girls hot springs. He couldn't go anywhere else.
- Time for Godou to get away from the girls.
- Athena is back, this time calling for Godou to fight a God.
- Salvatore uses his sword to break a seal, even though Lilly said it's impossible.
- The dragon slayer Perseus arrives on a quest to slay the dragon that is the foundation of the land.
- In comes Athena to absorb the dragon, and Godou to fight Perseus.
- Lilly carries Godou away to buy some time.
- You gotta kiss or else Godou will be powerless.
- And Godou takes an arrow in the chest.

Harems usually have a beach episode, and while this episode had a good amount of fanservice, at least it lasted less than a half of an episode. It started out as being another terrible episode that is common in harem, but the battle with Perseus was really something as now, Godou is knocking on the door of death here. Once the gears were shifted, it becomes a good episode to watch. The focus is now on Lilly and Athena while the rest of the harem is sleeping.

Godou dies again...
Athena seems to have a special interest in him.
Liliana totally does irrational things when Godou is around ^^"
Her imagination sure was running wild! LOL
That Athena sure is an interesting character..

[FUNiOP]

Lots of Liliana. She makes sure to solidify herself as the next major member of Godou's harem, we see plenty of her fantasies involving him, and a little more fanservice as well. The other girls barely appear, and when they do, they're all tied up. A fair amount of Athena, though.

- So Godou did die, and came back to life. But before returning, a talk with Pandora.
- And the secret to beating Perseus is... well just whoop him.
- Godou wakes up with the Bronze Black Cross with Liliana and the maid Karen.
- Lilly strips down, and causes quite a scene.
- So Godou is threatening the balance of power between the Copper and Bronze Black Cross. Gotta secure him.
- I never knew that Lilly writes stories.
- Godou and Athena have a proposal to help beat Perseus. Lilly breaks the deal.
- So the deal would be good, but only if Lilly made it and not Godou.
- Lilly can't seem to stop thinking about her romantic fantasies.
- Now, for the deal, it's no good if Lilly makes it. Godou makes it.
- And the rest of the harem is all tied up.

This episode was mostly pointless I would say. It's just to get some fanservice out of Liliana. But of course, Athena making the negotiations about how to beat Perseus was just about the only nice thing about this episode, and I liked the way Pandora was speaking to Godou about what just happened.

[Buckeye]

- Time for the fight to move to the big stage, in front of many spectators.
- So what will it be? Kiss Liliana or get crushed by Perseus? Looks like Godou has chosen to get crushed.
- Just lifiting up pillars and throwing them at Perseus. No elegance at all.
- Not good. Verethragna's powers are sealed, and Godou takes an arrow. To the wrist this time.
- Now they finally kiss. Godou, it's time to beat that hero wannabe.
- So Perseus is actually Mithra, the former master of Verethragna. That explains how he can seal his powers.
- The bow is broken, but Perseus still has the sword. And Lilly is mind-controlled.
- Call her name, and just before she launches arrows at him. Lilly is back.
- Perseus gets a homing arrow pinning him on a pillar, and the boar is unleashed.
- Time for another kiss. No, it's Athena who kisses him this time.
- Perseus is still standing. But not for long, not when Athena is out for blood.
- Erica sure does not take everything Lilly does very well.

Pretty solid episode here as the battle was nice, and Lilly being so psyched out about all that kissing was cute to watch. Next time, it looks like the last member of Godou's harem appears, and that would be Ena Seishuin. And then there is that Chinese girl from the opening that I think will appear in the next episode as well.

This episode represented the epic mythology-based battle side of the series much more than the generic harem side, which I am happy about. The end did still delve into that territory, but I can't expect too much of this series. They definitely covered Liliana's route well, since the other girls hardly even existed. I guess they were making up for doing nothing with her character for the beginning. There's one more main harem member to be introduced.
