Being X is so annoying. Why does he go so far for one person? even if she suddenly will turn into a believer,it's only one person in the end, UNLESS he is omnipotent and does this for everyone o_o

Scene at the end made me laugh real hard :D

That last sequence reminded of some old family pictures I've just seen. My uncle as a 6 month baby is sitting on my grandmothers lap, yet every single adult around them is seen smoking or with an ashtray in front of them. Different times, huh?

Focused almost entirely on the war. Still wondering if there will be anyone who can compete with Tanya, maybe a genius on the other side.

What an intense episode. Tanya taking down those bombers was epic, especially when she casually threw the grenade into the lead bomber. Being X possessing the dead body and talking to Tanya was great. She really hates secondhand smoking.

Just caught up with it and HOLY CRAP, it's the first "new" show that I've liked in months, if not years. Still, I have a bad feeling about this. I haven't read the LNs, but I'm guessing what the ending will be and it's not looking good; I'd just say what is it, but I don't want to accidentally guess it correctly and end up dropping major spoilers.

This episode was so intense, i loved it!!!
Those guys were like "oh we're dead" but then our hero appeared, Tanya, a cute little girl that destroys everyone xD
That counterattack was so epic! Those guys in the planes were so scared of her xD And that grenade throw ahahaha
This episode was so amazing that i can't even find the right words to describe it.
Hope Tanya's team will get even better.
It seems that the Empire has the same destiny as Germany? I really hope that no, i am expecting a great ending and not a sad one where they lose.
Go Go Tanya!!!

At thise moment they knew, they f***up xD

So they do have a plane to use for this war. And Tanya-chan is making the right decision, to tell her batallion that death is "better" than go bankrupt for the post-victory celebration. And that MIRV-like shoot concludes it.

Some informations about politics and wartime aid.

Tanya's battalion had another chance to shine. This time it was a real battle and not just shooting sitting ducks. They fought very well.

How Tanya stood on the plane and dropped the grenade was badass. They didn't expect, that the airspace is no longer completely safe.

The pilots of the plane, that she shot down, preferred suicide instead of being taken captive. How Being X spoke through the corpse was damn creepy. So he will involve so many countries and their people, just to prove his point. He really is more like a demon than a god.

The guys in the hut didn't see it coming. Respectively it was too late.

Poor Tanya in the last scene.

Pretty good episode as always
After last weeks battle it was to be expected that the faction there would be too devastated to continue the war so transferring Tanya's unit is to be expected. To think that the empire had managed to outstrip their supply infrastructure already though. Looks like the war is really starting to turn into a real world war with more nations getting involved in it as well. It was nice seeing what the opposing leaders think of the war as well. Combat scenes in this episode was as top notch as always. But man those bombers shown in this episode were lethal.

The enemy units that they are facing in this episode were also interesting in that they seem to be faster and better trained than anything Pixie has faced before. Of course there won't be a true episode without Tanya being cruel here lol. Lol Tanya's motivation for the troops though. Slow hunks of steel was a great way to describe those bombers though. Tanya's ultimate ability never ceases to amaze me though and to think that she took down a whole squadron of enemy bombers is terrifying to see. So being x was the one who orchestrated this eh.

So the enemy is doing the smart thing of keeping an eye on Tanya eh.
It seems that the enemy is also starting to wake up to the presence of Tanya though and more importantly some of their skilled officers are starting to show up. But to think that Tanya would now be fighting nearly every faction in the world now though. Things are just getting started.

Awesome episode :D I do have to say as strong as Tanya is, she doesn't have power strong enough for a nuclear blast (otherwise she could have taken out a nation to make the war easier for her country to win) so I'm not quite sure how the series is planning to end.

With 6 episodes left, it would be a rush to just push straight for victory and have Tanya challenge the 'God' himself unless if they have another season.

Nice fighting this episode. Is it just me or did it look like Tanya in the photo at the end? I'm probably just reading too much into it.


I actually thought the same thing. And if you recall from episode 1 it was said that her father had to leave her mother to fight the war.




I think that's Viktoriya

I have not read that part of the novel, but yes, I do know who she is and why she is important, however you don't need to read the novel to know from just the character design that she is not Viktoriya with her 'normal looking eyes and face', plus Tanya was in the orphanage the entire time when she was growing up, so when would she even take a photo with a living father?

Actually you all should know her name as well, since her name is very ironic and is use to describe overpower main character in stories.

To be fair, Being X is just an entity claiming to be [a] God. A big point of the anime is Tanya trying to disprove he is God, while Being X is trying to get her to believe he really is God; that's why Tanya has to chant all those sacrosanct aphorisms before she casts a big spell--to essentially force Tanya to admit she's a believer even if it's just a facade she needs to further her own goals and survival. As far as anime-only watchers go, that's about the extent of the plot. Personally though, if a being managed to stop time and reincarnate me into a new body in a whole new dimension, I think I might get on my knees right then and there and become a believer. But this show is about Tanya not me, [s]he has his own reasons for denying God his godhood; Like how Battler from Umineko did when he was denying the existence of witches even as this woman in front of him kept resetting time and summoning huge, supernatural minions. The point of all this is just to sort of point out how one-sided a fight between Being X and Tanya would be considering how Tanya is only alive thanks to Being X's actions, everything else factored in. Something I would like to see however, is another person having been reincarnated and having the same godlike capabilities Tanya can exert. Something that can break the notion of Tanya being this unstoppable monster without throwing God himself into the mix. A good example of something similar to this is Mob's first fight against Koyama in Mob Psycho 100 --- which won Crunchyroll's anime fight of the year, not that Crunchyroll is that relevant but still. That fight brought Mob right back down to Earth where he needed to be after dominating so many enemies effortlessly just like Tanya has been.

Anyway yeah I guess that's it. I just felt like replying in length to something lol.

Tanya do have a rival that is not Being X, but that rival won't be strong enough to face Tanya until near the end of the story. So I recommend anyone to drop this now if they mostly came to see Tanya struggle in combat.

Episode that a satisfactory split on the war as a whole. Apparently, two people will find themselves face to face, I can not wait to understand the magnitude of this encounter on the battlefield, it will be the sentence for Tanya or vice versa, I'm dying of curiosity. I wonder if this event will be the culmination of the story.

Passive smoking is a serious business.

I don't think it would be appropriate to the plot for a rival to appear (also late-season introduction of rival? Let's not have a repeat of the travesty that was Izetta), because Being X's plan is to force Tanya to struggle as long as possible so she'll eventually be worn down enough to capitulate.

And if we consider Being X's personality, he wouldn't try to equalize things by bringing forth a rival, he'd do it by suddenly taking back the miracle of prayer he granted Tanya in the middle of a mission; that would throw Tanya into such deep shit that she would have few options but to pray to Being X for deliverance.
