Im tired of the constant fake out, cop out on this show just so no gets killed who is friends with the MC.

>>280034653
Hell yeah.

Why is this anime so boring now?

>>280034720
Still needs a tongue.
I know that image though.

>>280034690
Yeah I never liked that Shisui didn't actually die. Since she wasn't going to appear in the story again anyway what's the point of this cop-out?

>>280034722
Always was.
Episodic plots are bad, overarching plot is meh at best, rapechad is underused but the protagonist is super cute.

>>280033432
The manga is releasing painfully slow. At this rate it might be better to wrap it up after the current arc. Then maybe they can hire another artist who doesn't have health problem to draw a sequel manga.

>>280034821
Probably for Maomao to build her army of trusted people for final showdown in Super Sentai style.

well that was shit

Lick it

>>280034821
having the blood of the emperor fixes all problems

>>280033957

Oh well, at least she didn't get tortured to death the authentic ancient Chinese way

Women writer moment

>>280034948
By no means, Māomāo is a professional who does not eat three days in advance for the cleanest anal experience.

>>280034865
The funny thing is this novel has 2 versions

>>280035199
maomao experiments with obscure animal shits

Maomao's whole existence is pointless in this arc. Where did her mary sue power go?

>>280035281
she is unraveling jinshi's mysterious origins from the sidelines, it's important so she can be empress in the shadows

>>280035281
I like the change, the eunuch is finally a bit useful and shows that he's actually a really capable combatant.

The golden rule of writing a good romance is that the protagonist should always be extremely awesome and capable but the rapey love interest should be even more awesome and capable.

>>280035305
>jinshi's mysterious origins
It's not even a secret anymore at this point considering he had to come out of hiding to lead the army.

>>280034821
She is dead in the WN, dunno why they changed it

>>280034865
There's already another manga, but this one sells better.
The other manga is one volume ahead even if it started later on

>>280035415
They probably changed it to make it more palatable. Normies get serious cognitive dissonance when their heroes commit ruthless acts of violence and executing a friend of the MC is one of those.

>>280035305
>Empress in the shadow
I wonder how a lot of anime only anons would react if they discovered what Maomao asked to Jinshi in LN15/16

>>280035415
Maomom is also dead from the start in the WN, I guess the editor finds the author to be a little bit too cynical.

>>280035560
Writer sounds more based than the editor.
Is the editor also going to censor out the anal proposition?

>>280035680
We already got that part.

>>280035447
>The other manga is one volume ahead even if it started later on
That's because it cuts a lot of content from the LN. It pretty much streamlines the plot while leaving out most character moments.

>>280035720
Eeeeexcellent, exactly as planned.
Vaginalfag seething.

WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE
There is still one episode left?

>>280035720
Maomao peeing and shitting all over the bed

Subs when?

My mind is RACING with this one! Jinshi finally getting his well-deserved triumph with the royal army, a moment of pure, unadulterated glory! But then the imperial court politics, those shadowy, scheming snakes, slither in and just absolutely DOUSE his parade! It's precisely like that moment in real life when special interest groups, those insatiable, self-serving entities, start clamoring and clawing for more than their equal share, demanding disproportionate representation from something as beautiful and unifying as a pride parade, and then POOF! The whole glorious, vibrant spectacle just implodes, collapsing under the weight of their petty, divisive demands! It goes from a joyous celebration of identity to a squabbling, fractured mess, all because certain factions just couldn't bear to let the collective shine brighter than their own self-aggrandizing agendas! It's a tragedy, a travesty, an absolute MARASMUS of a triumph, just like when those special interests ruin everything good!

Any chance for shishui to survive?

>>280035847
When you stop being spoon fed

>>280035729
Also, much uglier

>>280035794
yes they took 2 breaks so we're getting the finale quite late.

>>280035919
Maomao is supposed to be ugly.
Only pedoscums like the late emperor and jinshi would be attracted to maomao.

>>280035980
she isn't so ugly that she can go unraped without fake freckles though

>>280035919
Maomao is supposed to be average
I would unironically prefer the 3rd version

>>280034821
Best girl not dying is a good thing in itself.

No one acts like a person in this episode but it's supposed to be emotional because someone dances and there's some music in the background I guess.

What even was that:
>Rigs the gun to explode
>Gun explodes and someone dies, like... how does that even work like that
>Goes out to dance for whatever reason
>Then commits suicide while laughing

Why not just not rig the gun and just shoot the bastard if that as your master plan?

I really don't get why it all went like that but to be honest I don't really follow what is going on any more much.

Maomao's butteface is peak beauty

>>280036034
3rd version looks taller and thus disqualified

>>280035980
Thank god one of the strips and the television series make that adaptational change.
People who love plain protagonists get the rope.

>>280035995
You are stupid. If she looks like the 2nd version/anime, they would have sold her to be someone’s concubine for a better price, not to be servant.
She should be average/unremarkable
>Freckles to hide beauty
The thing is, they rape everything above average.
Use fake scars or some skin diseases for the maximum effect

What if Jinshi started molesting maomao and the "dead" kids woke up?

>>280036160
the freckles objectively worked so she must be right precisely on the border

>>280036070
> doesnt even have the guts to kill her own wretched mother
> instead Loulan comes up with some bs "I know she would try to shoot me" nonsensical plot to accidentally kill herself

what even is this plot? Good thing they didnt try to force in some afterlife scene where cuck dad and his boss bitch wife reunited

now remember kids.
Women are all cunt.
Don't sacrifice yourself for them

I love how respectable Jinshi's soldiers behaved and didnt start raping the shit out of the female characters on sight. Very realistic

>>280036126
Māomāo isn't like Nina though and doesn't look like an absolutely deranged animal while being getting hairpulling anal from Seth in the moonlight looking ever so beautiful.

God just imagine being Azure and walking in on that sight. Your heart sinks to the floor seeing that, seeing how what you once thought was a pure person is an absolutely deranged vile anal slut and yet, it looks so beautiful, so pristine, so pure. It hurts to continue to watch, and yet, you cannot look away, basking in this beauty.

>>280034865
better art need time. plus recently Neko was sick for some months.

>>280036229
I don't get this entire scene. Like Zin'si got threatened with that gun to follow and follows and then just... stands there when the gun is no longer pointed at him. What's the entire point of all that, why go outside after that to dance and then fall off a cliff. It's so weird.

>>280036307
Would be good if they were all hot and they were all idealistic completely unrealistic romanticied rape scenes.

>>280036307
They are royal guards, with a royalty in the field.
Not everyone is indian or israeli

>>280036307
This is PG-13 show with women writer sir. Totally not Imperial 16th century China

So in future eps Jinshi will have a visible scar on his face or not?

>>280036397
Author can only write about Maomao, Lishu and Rikuson's sistergetting assaulted and only in the web novel

>>280036621
This arc is overrated, both Western Capital's arcs are better.

shenmei didn't deserve him...

>>280036307
Raping and pillaging is for the common soldiery, anon. It's the Emperor's personal Royal Guard, they are expected to have higher standards and honor.

>>280036660
shouldn't with both maomao and luomen in the picture

> career women being portrayed as evil and uncaring

yikes that not it sis

> nooo having a young trad wife at home is not enough
> i have to ruin it with a whore who never liked me in the first place

idiot

>>280035919
The problem with the Kurata version is that Maomao isn't the only one that looks plain/boring in it. Everyone there gets hit with the ugly stick

>>280036158
me on the right

>>280036158
>His father was a paedo
>He was pretty much the same age as his mother
>Ends up with mother issues and goes for milfs
Checks out.

>>280036728
The emperor plaps hundreds of the kingdom's most beautiful women every day. If I as his imperial guard can't even rape his enemies, that is a violation of trickle-down pussy, and some bullshit.

Lishu is a cock hungry slut

>>280035720
>Not wanting to drink a virgin's pee
Have all the rich debauched characters in hentai/movies been a lie?

>>280036928
>that is a violation of trickle-down pussy
Don't worry. Kill enough enemies in the name of the Emperor and you too will be able to request a prime concubine straight from the rear palace instead of having to settle for impure peasant pussy..

>>280036229
Even at the end Loulan still loved her mother. That's why she scarred Jinshi's face as a form of petty revenge for her mother.
Both Loulan and her father knew Shenmei was crazy but they didn't have the heart to stop her from the beginning since they loved her.

>Write an even more big brained character than the protagonist
>She's even cooler
>Have to kill her off
Loulan deserved better.

>>280036158
Me on the left

>>280037155
>he doesn't know

>>280036307
They’re the Royal Guard. They are held to a much higher standard of conduct. That’s why opting to use Lakan’s deceitful strategy was a questionable decision on Jinshi’s part.

>>280037247
She survived? So that's why Jinshi said he never saw her again?

>>280037200
Lihua?

>>280037271
He never saw Loulan again.

>>280037271

Can't remember these Chinese names, they should've localised them into nip names.

>>280036714
WC2 is the most boring, drawn-out, and unfocused arc. It really exposes the writer as a one-trick pony who relies on the same formula everytime: introduce side characters > have them linger in the background doing likable things > unveil their dark side and sob backstories just in time to serve as plot devices. Rinse and repeat for another arc.
And of course only the obvious bad guy dies while all the relevant characters stay safe in the end.

>>280037378
These names are already localized into nip, with a few exceptions.

>>280037378
They're already localised, otherwise you would've gotten Renshi, Yuye, Libai, Mashan, Zicui, Cuiling and Shuilan(like we Italians got)

>>280037271
If she showed herself again she'd be executed like the rest of Shi clan.

>>280037474
What is the best arc for you anon?

>>280037547
The harem arc is the best, so LN1.

>>280036621
What’s so good about it? For me everything that came before it was good and this is bad

>no MewMew
>episode is shit

Best part in the series is La Clan arc.

They've really been relying on the shoujo tropes a bit too much this season.

>Get lost/trapped in a cave/shed/forest with the main guy
>Get kidnapped/(almost) raped and get saved by the main guy

>>280037764
>>280037754
>>280037694
>>280037609
Why is this series so controversial?

So the 2 blond whore get sold into slavery after this right?

>>280037906
>Interesting topics: Historical, Politics, intrigue
>Hugely popular
What I get
>Shounen level writing
>Retarded characters, know-it-all teenage MC
Why did I expect good writing from a LN. This shit is worse than historical C-drama

>>280037754
The characters were likeable, the pacing was excellent, there were new things happening and new discoveries every episode. There were real stakes since back then Maomao was just a lowly servant and not daughter of grand commander larping as servant.

>>280038111
Fucking this

>>280038111
would be different if being the daughter of uber general really played into them kidnapping her but it wasn't that at all

>>280037764
Do you like Shishui and care about her family drama?
This arc is made for Shisui lovers pretty much.

suirei > shisui

Hana Yori Dango is still the best shoujo.

>>280037898
>saved
Maomao wasn't in any danger. The worst injury she got was from Shenmei hitting her with a fan, that's it.

>>280038231
she was going to be spanked to death but she saved herself from that

>>280038231
>Put in a pit with poisonous snakes and bugs
>Stuck in a building where the gunpowder storage has been set alight
>Not in any danger

>>280038280
She already overcame all those things by herself anon, that's the point, she didn't need Jinshi saving her.

This is so unintentionally funny.

is Jinshi really more popular than Maomao?

>>280038681
I can't believe that for a second

Abusmal arc and dogshite episode.

>>280038586
His armor colours are so dumb

>>280038838
It's just fancy stuff for noble conquerors.

>>280038681
Absolutely no, Jinshi only got one figure while Maomao got more than 10.
Also if you check fanart data on various sites Maomao is always much more popular.
Jinshi isn't even the favoruite of yumejos, Rikuson and Lahan are.
They simply like him with Maomao a lot, so almost all his art is with Maomao.

>>280038681
Maomao is the most popular. It helps that she appeals to different audience while Jinshi is probably unpopular to men
I wonder who is the 3rd most popular character though, now that is something that is actually hard to tell.

>>280039021
I'm sure Lahan is the 3rd one

>>280038950
Why are Lahan/Rikufags always seething at Jinshi? Completely unprovoked too. Jinshi is undoubtedly the most popular after Maomao, literally any data you could find would show that.

>>280039060
If they do a poll now then 3rd place would probably be Shisui.
You have to remember that the majority of fans consume the series via the anime and the big gangan manga. The LN circle is very small.

>do nothing
>win

nice

So, what the guard found in the bushes was an unconscious Loulan, right?

This really doesn't look that bad.

>>280039442
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't she supposed to lose some fingers?

>>280036879
>>280037200
In medio stat virtus, anons

>>280039476
how would that possibly happen from that image? the fingers are the only thing protected by the stock.

>>280039442
I always imagined that her whole face was blown off in this scene. The anime showed some mercy by not disfiguring her face

Wouldn't the powder and shot have fallen out of the barrel if he held the gun like this while it was loaded?

>>280033981

>>280039485
shut the fuck up, in dubio pro pædophilo

>>280033101 (OP)
Not so fast!

Here from Pixiv, Gyokuyou,Gaoshun and Lihua have homonyms from other series and don't have their own Kusuriya tag, so I couldn't check them.
Lahan has 743 works it appears most of the things are about him but it showed up with weird tags like US army, so I didn't put it in here. Something similar happens with Lakan (678 works)
Please if any other character comes to your mind, please tell me.

>>280039610
you are supposed to put a piece of paper or the cartridge itself while ramming to ensure a tight fit

>>280039721

>>280039825
I also forgot to add Lihaku among those who share a name with other characters.
For LN readers, I couldn't put Chue, since her name literally means Sparrow, so the tag was all fucked up.

>>280039906

>>280039610
You literally have to ram the shot into the barrel with a RAMROD and have to clean the barrel regularly so it doesn't get too gummed up. It's a tight fit.

t. Watched a black powder shooting demonstration recently

Maomao didn't do shit lmao
I thought they were gonna Mary Sue her into fixing all the Empire's problems.

>cutting short canon scenes to do long ass fanservice dancing scene with insert song
Reminds me of that original anime scene in S1E19 when Jinshi just walked slowly while carrying a bleeding Maomao. The anime team really said fuck logic.

>>280039825
Maomao supremacy, I guess?

>>280039906

>>280040071
Who was the MVP of the arc?

>>280040071
I think I wiped that out of my memory because of how bad it was

>>280040056
She showed up for one scene, looked cute, and said one line. Work smarter, not harder!

>>280040071
Need the dance so girls can replicate it on Tiktok

What is Lahan thinking in this moment?

>>280040056
Maomao's purpose in this arc is to make Loulan/Shisui likable to the viewers. Maomao likes her and sees her as a friend that means (You) should like and care about her too.

>>280040211
>tiktok
KYS yourself scum

>>280040056
She wasn't nearly powerful or important enough to be involved in that kind of stuff, all she did was solve mysteries in the rear palace which occasionally touched on matters of state or royal secrets, but she studiously avoided becoming too involved in such things. The only time she ever really stepped into that arena was helping to foil the assassination attempt on Jinshi, which she did mostly out of personal concern without realizing the reason he was being targeted or who was behind it.

>>280037519
Yeah what's the deal with that? I don't mind the chink names, but I don't understand why the Italian dub/subs went with that and I wonder if other Yuro localizations went with that.

Remember Maomao?

>>280040293
Manga Italian TL originally went with that pinyin, the official sub followed.
In Italy only the LNs have the Japanese reading.
J-Pop probably found it more authentic

>>280040293
> Yuro localizations
In this case, the jap dub is the localization

>>280033957
glad she is gone
some fucker on the production team wasted all budget on her

I feel like Jinshi would like Shisui if they had a chance to meet properly. She's a quirky girl who's obsessed with bugs, he'd probably find her endearing just like how he found Maomao endearing.

>>280040373
New favourite for the next season, since he already appeared so much.
He also has a dance scene with Maomao, so they can blow all the budget there.

>>280040373
>>280040428
Does the production kinda hate Jinshi?

>>280033101 (OP)
The Man Who Was Cucked to Death

>>280037519
They sometimes are and sometimes aren't, which is really common with Ancient China settings for whatever reason, half of the characters have the modern Mandarin readings , or at least the Japanese approximation thereof in katakana, the other half have the Sino-Japanese readings based on modern Japanese pronunciation of the characters.

Well, I know some where they just all have Sino-Japanese readings but none where they just stick with the Mandarin ones for all of them.

I miss Xialoan

>>280035865
Judging only by what happened onscreen, not a chance, she was going full Zero Requiem with her dad.
>Lelouch lives in later versions
Oh, then uhhh, maybe?

I've seen anons before hint at her surviving though, so I'm looking forward to next week.

>>280040725
he cucq'd shenmei to death first
>status whore fiance dumps you for status
>actually personal friends with emperor
>make babies with literal royalty behind her back
>commit treason with zero repercussions just to rub it in her face (with love)

>>280040459
No they made a big deal about Jinshi armor reveal with teasers ahead of episode and everything. They just couldn't deliver due to incompetence.

>Shisui obviously isn't dead because nobody dies from a single gun shot wound and falling in fiction
Yeah this is retarded. Let me guess, the fucking kids aren't dead either?

Tamamo spinoff in not-Japan when?

>>280040315
sidelined cat

>>280035281
>>280040056
>anons starting to realize that Maomao isn't a Mary Sue

So is the last episode a recap?
Also what was the thing the guy found at the very end?

This was so unnecessary. If they want to give him a scar then at least make it a big one.

that´s not current-day gunpowder, it´s weaker. That´s why she got damaged by shrapnel and didn´t get her hand blown

>>280035865

>Fall 10+ meters head first

>>280041007
It needs to make him mysterious and sexy, not disfiguring.

>>280041141
shot AT, it was dark and flintlocks are not accurate. she fell face first into snow, idk if thats much less dangerous

For Fuck Sake, why no one dashed and stroke him after he shot. How it was described in LN? It is bad writing if everyone act retarded excluding scenes when you don't want to people act retarded.

>>280041210
>stroke him
??????????

>>280041188
are we ignoring the blood that fell from her arm?
Itt doesnt mater if you fall on snow or a bed of feathers, hat woulnt save you fom breakin your neck or the skull.

>>280041237
ESL here, I thought 'stroke' is past tense of 'strike'

>>280041210
Thoe weapons have only one shot.... what would he do, throw the gun at him?

>>280041237
So he can shoot again.

>>280041268
The word you're looking for is "struck"

>>280041161
I think Loulan was trying to disfigure him since his face resembled the pedo emperor. She could've gone harder though.

>>280041273
how did they know? they should act immediately as a soldiers not some farmers who were taken on their first battle

>>280041268
It's struck. "Stroke him" means wanking him off.

>>280041400
Because they military and have knowledge about guns?

>>280041422
>>280041268
it could also mean non-penis stroking, maybe he laughed because one of the soldiers was tickling him

>>280041457
they explicitly used their expert military knowledge to determine that he could not possibly fire his gun.

>>280036070
It is an act. That was the point.

>Gun explodes and someone dies, like... how does that even work like that
With the muzzle blocked, the exploding gunpowder backfires shrapnel into the shooter.

>>280036229
More poetic that way. She was pushing her mom's buttons pretty hard while infodumping her, and Shenmei's temper is no secret.

>>280036376
Jinshi's letting her finish her villain speech infodump, since this is new info for him too. For Loulan, the idea was to pretend "Yeah, it was totally our plan to pull a failed rebellion for the good of the nation, it definitely wasn't because dad was a pussy-whipped simp." She wanted her immediate family to take the fall while looking secretly loyal instead of like total traitors, and get as many decent clanmembers spared as possible.

>>280036307
These are the imperial guard, and Jinshi is right there.

>Basen got beat up just because Jinshi got a scratch on his face
Wtf

Put maomaos in the bag.

So Shisui still has Maomao's hairpin (that Jinshi gave her.) How long do we have to wait until that hairpin resurfaces in the story?

>>280037946
I assume they got the hell out before shit hit the fan.

>>280038218
If I were a Suireifag, I'd be disappointed that she was too battered to do anything the whole time, after her competency in previous arcs.

>>280041776

>>280041793
she's been in the closet a long time

not an issue with antique springs

Cool episode for today.
Im gonna play ming in eu4 for the rest of the week

>>280040861
She took two volleys before falling, but maybe the first set had shitty aim, since it didn't stop her.

Obviously not, the hints have been increasingly blatant.

kek

>>280036604
...is something that will never happen, thankfully.

>>280039442
>>280039476
Loulan setting this up was surprisingly brutal. I didn't think she had it in her to finally hurt/kill her mom. Before this ep I even thought she might try to win some undeserved mercy for her mom, but she ended up dissing Shenmei repeatedly just to bait her into this.

>>280041776
Oh right, that didn't come into play in this ep. With Jinshi there, I thought it would.

Also, Suirei was carrying a recognizable imperial hairpin this whole time without Shenmei ever seeing it? That bugged my suspension of disbelief a bit.

>>280035865
did the emperor fuck her at least?

Based lesbo. I bet she survived but going back to the palace as Shisui is probably a bit too much.

>>280041776
In the last scenes, the dude walking arround the wall sees something shiny on the bushes

>>280042433
retard...

>>280041658
He's literally his personal bodyguard

>>280041658
He got lucky, normally he would be executed.

>>280042448
Smug concubine needs correction

>>280042448
The only dumb part is she relied on the guards using guns instead of just rushing her with swords. But I guess she would just jump then and accepted the risks.

>>280042448
she only wanted to slam clams with catcat

>>280041658
>ask stupid son to look after jinshi
>he ends up with a wound on the face
How disappointed is Gaoshun right now?

>>280042718
It's ok when Jinshi is the emprah in few years he will let her come back.

>>280042653
I'm surprised they went straight for the kill instead of trying to catch her for formal execution. Maybe scratching royalty's face is just that serious.

>>280042768
Well dude is super famous for being beautiful.

>>280042737
if shisui family circumstances wouldve been different, maybe she wouldve gotten the same ending as the girls from Otoyomegatari

>>280042718
catcat only goes for royal family, suirei is still in

KWAB

Your Majesty...
The titties could not be saved...

>>280042490
In one episode they said that the emperor never visited her, and in another episode they said she knew some birth control herbs or some shit like that, but I don't know if she used them or not.

Kino as fuck... I knew they were saving their power for this episode. I love Loulan.

>Man
>Long hair
>Armor
>Cape
>Sword

It cannot be not cool.

I hope Loulan died for real, would be a shame if the show devalued it by having her live. 99% sure she'll survive though
Kind of a shit arc finale anyway, both the dance and the whole kidnapping into this dumbfuck plan.

I can appreciate the preparation arcs though with the whole emperor backstory mattering for this

>>280043043
Only way it could be cooler is if it was a 2 handed sword.

>>280042989
i think the emperor must not have fucked her or the duplicates would get some amount of the dickings. she was in shi clan orgies though.

>>280035281
Maomao isn't a Mary Sue you retard. Everyone who read the novels was saying this all along.

>>280043136
The Emperor can sense those big titties. That's why he could sense that something was wrong when the body doubles were there instead and he couldn't get in the mood.
Also, why would she be taking the abortion medicine if she hadn't been fucked at least once?

What I've noticed here is: 1) Anons beg to be spoiled 2) Get angry when they're told "oh yeah the villain was good all along" 3) Continue hatewatching. 4) Nitpick for reasons to why their original anger was justified when the actual story shows and justifies everything.

You people are dumb.

I think it would've helped to have an earlier ep/arc where Shishou gets to show off his cunning, instead of it being an informed ability that ends up thematically relevant at the climax.

>>280042966
>>280042985
will he miss these boobs?

>>280043043
That armor ugly af, his ponytail saved this look.

>>280043346
Yes. He'll have to seek comfort in Lihua's chest after getting the news.

>>280043263
Did you miss how Shishou invited Jinshi for a hunt to kill him and nobody caught on he was the mastermind? Dude's opsec was tight.

>>280033101 (OP)
What did she do.

>>280043609
Tricked the whole fucking country into thinking she was the master mind when she was concentrating disloyal people for the royal guard to btfo. Did you not watch this episode?

If Jinshi seized Loulan's gun and fired it then he would've been dead. Being soft on criminals really paid off sometimes.

>>280043589
They knew it was him, though, that's why they didn't make a fuss after the attempt on Jinshi's life in the forest, during the hunt. Ordinarily that would've been cause for Shishou to grovel before the throne for forgiveness, for allowing assassins to penetrate his security on his estates, and allowing killers to come so close to taking the life of a royal family member. He might even have lost his life over that, to expiate his failure.

The reason they didn't bring it up at the time was because they suspected Shishou was behind it, which meant one of the empire's most powerful men was engaged in a conspiracy against the emperor and his family, or at least that was where all the evidence pointed. They could still be wrong, but a false accusation could be as damaging as the accusation being true. So they had to be very careful, pretend nothing was wrong, and then figure out the nature of the plot against the emperor before acting against it.

Acting without understanding things is how you walk into traps.

>>280043735
Suspected, aka no conclusive proof, aka successful trickery.

>>280043682
a dark knight.....

>>280043786
He didn't really trick them though, as there was no real attempt to misdirect the emperor's faction nor to set up a patsy to take the blame. Shishou was immediately suspected as the culprit because there were simply no other probable culprits. That's the opposite of being tricky. Shishou created a situation where not only would he likely be blamed for the attempt, he was the only logical person to blame.

>>280043839
Getting caught was unironically part of his master plan, though.

>>280043263
The past four novels, unironically, have been driven by Shishou's trickery. Suirei was not acting alone.

I can't believe Shisui is fucking dead!

I liked this show better when it was just Maomao solving random shit in the rear palace desu

>>280044481
same

>>280034200
That probably means the mouthrape that should take place at the end of the next cour in case we get a 3rd season will also be toned down a lot.

top tanuki

>>280035680
>>280035560
Wifeguy Lakan is clearly more entertaining, it was a good call by the editor to change it.

>>280041188
>she fell face first into snow, idk if thats much less dangerous
ever been skiing?

>>280042448
>Shisui will never savagely roast you and smugly call you insignificant

preview makes me think the next episode is going to be a lot of recap

>>280044520
Maybe they just added an original hug scene before the biting scene to make it look more intimate, like how they added the scene with Jinshi gently laid down Maomao before lifting her leg. I can't see them cutting it, they already added some pretext with Maomao having a bruise in the neck era.

She tanked those shots btw

Funny how the trauma pretty much all of the named "victims" of the previous emperor have is that he either stopped fucking them or didn't bother with them at all to begin with.

Bros... it's not fucking fair
;_;

SHE WAS A GOOD GIRL SHE DIDN'T DESERVE THIS

>>280044837
I just assumed they were hiding spoilers. Using it up for recaps would be a fucking crime when they rushed through the ep before this one.

>>280041658
He deserved it. Up to this point Basen = cringe while Lihaku = based.

>>280041273
Hey, it makes Superman duck.

>fighting against a rebellion
>the prince himself is going around alone and almost gets killed, twice
>soldiers giving time to characters to finish their muh dramatic dialogue
>nooo don't kill the traitors they dindu nuffin
>let's scar him... but not so much, gotta keep our audience
peak woman writing. a serious situation where absolutely no one is acting realistically and the forced drama making it look like a cheap soap opera.

>>280041776
I assumed the hairpin Suirei is wearing is Maomao's and it was all part of Loulan's plan to get her spared.

Shenmei would have never allowed Suirei to keep something like that.

Second to last catcat day. Hopefully we'll get a new season soon. With the manga getting nuked from MD I've had to look at other sites. Weird only one got nuked and the other is just fine.
That's a bit much reflecting the bullet off his sword. It wasn't even folded over one thousand times.
Fool of an old man doing everything to try and get back the woman he loved and doing the bidding of that old bag in vain. Too bad she was rotten from the very beginning. His life and death are the true tragedy of this arc.
Why his men do not find him missing and go into the hole is also a bit of a stretch.
It's also kinda silly she's had that hair pin on her all these years.
Her having to die was pretty dumb. She could have "died" like her sister and gone back to being a servant girl. Was it because she was the head of the clan at that moment and had injured a royal?
Overall a good episode.

>>280045755
The hairpin Maomao received from Jinshi was not phoenix or as elaborate

What's the song playing during the dance? Is it out yet?

>>280035865
No body, no death.

How the fuck do you miss a fatal shot at 10 feet?

>>280046956
Well for once something actually happened

>>280041760
What would she have done if it had been just some random soldier instead of the Moon Prince?

>>280047035
The Emperor gets the elite guards and Jinshi gets to settle for the leftovers.

>>280045287
Except for the old servant who lived and died there because the emperor diddled her and you can't have the emperor's used goods outside the palace

>>280040315
yeah, she's napping at the back like a cat she is

>>280047035
The royalists didn't have the new-and-improved models, to be fair.

>>280047061
Pull out a working gun from her other pocket?

>>280038111
Yeah this is why I preferred the first season. But I was never particularly interested in Shisui

This show needs a love triangle. It needs another cute short woman who's trying to steal Jinshi from Maomao. I wanna see Maomao being jealous

>>280047674
>jealous
then its not going to be over romance, it'll be an alchemist hogging all the sexy ingredients

>>280039442
>>280039476
Did d roll a Misfire or something?

>>280045370
she should have betrayed her clan earlier

>>280041007
So what exactly was the point of her scratching his face? I get that she was trying to tell the story of "only the people here were responsible" but I'm not seeing the need to make it look like she or Shenmei scratched him.

>>280048190
Her mother seethed over Jinshi and the Pedo Emperors beauty. As much as Loulan hated her mother she felt obligated to carry out her vengeance even in a paltry way.

Maomao anal

The animation and story panels took a huge nosedive once it got past where the second manga has adapted so far. Holy shit it's bad. Literal still images with 2 minutes of dialogue in the background by another character.

>>280045799
>That's a bit much reflecting the bullet off his sword. It wasn't even folded over one thousand times.
flintlock ball ammo velocity and accuracy is very low, still a bit of a plot armor for it to just deflect off the sword though.

>>280041007
>>280043043
>>280043130
>>280043457

>>280048283
Shishou must've really hated this guy for some reason to slander(?) him in front of Jinshi right after he took the ricochet to the knee.

>>280048417
It's a shame he took a wound to the knee. His breastplate might have stopped the bullet fired from a short-barrelled pistol.

I thought Shisui would live because everyone kept saying it on Kusuriya threads...

Jinshi's big cock...

Jinshi's medium european toad...

>>280048417
No more adventuring for him.

Lishu!

>>280048000
Waster digits. They explain it seconds after that she plugged the barrel to make the powder explode in the barrel and blow backwards

>>280048750
Hairy.

>>280048750
why can't the emperor just adopt her as his daughter?

>>280048745
Not after he takes an axeblade to the nape.

>>280049861
It's from Warhammer The Old World, formerly known as Warhammer Fantasy.

>>280046880
Anyone who is remotely attractive is sold to the brothel or to become concubines.
Freckles dont make your face hideous. It is -1 at worst. Serious defects like scars or skin diseases make you into a servant.
You really lack critical thinking

>>280047674
It would be peak unfortunately it's written by a woman so Jinshi is not "allowed" to be interested in someone else or the writer would feel NTR'd.

So why was Shisui dancing again

Maomao needs to be dicked down

>>280033432
I really want her to die. Liars and traitors get the noose every time. A long painful death at the end of a rope is the fate they all deserve.

No, I don't give a shit. No excuses.

What the fuck was this writing?

>>280051792
Mangaka not used to writing more action-oriented scenes.

>>280051630
Its a novel adaptation you faggot. Its the writer's writing
>>280051792

>>280051792
It's actually amazing how good S1 was and how awful the writing is in S2.

>>280051792
inb4 the Jinshi's hairpiece catcat gave her stopped the bullet and she survived.

>>280051294
Her job was done, all that was left was to die in style laughing, like her dad.

>>280051965

>>280052176

>>280035919
>other manga
why is this allowed? what caused this?

>>280052312
Jealous?

>>280052312
What's the problem? They run in 2 different magazines and illustrated by 2 different artists anyway.

>>280052501
It's unusual, has there been other novels that got adapted onto two different manners simultaneously?

>>280052527
According to MU both the shoujo and shounen versions of Library Wars started in the same year, but the shounen one was only a volume long/axed while the shoujo went on for 15 volumes+sequel

>>280036158
Kek

Why did they make Suirei so fucking pathetic?

I miss her.....

>>280052527
idk about simultaneously but it's actually not that rare for light novel series to receive multiple manga adaptions.

>>280052058
haha...

>>280051792
The deflection looked accidental to me, and Jinshi's been voluntarily leading from the front throughout the raid.

Guns can explode when clogged, sure.

He disappeared for like 20min and his guards had no idea, a punch was a light sentence

why was it such a big deal that jinshi had a cut on his face?

>>280042433
Why not? Despite being Shishui being paired up with the "nerdy otaku delta femcels" crew. Loulan is actually stacy tier if you just add some heels since she's got the right body proportions.

Emperor loves his tomboy gf, his true son, his other wifies, and other children. But dude will still smash as long as it's not loli.

>>280042433

I'm anime only but that was an LN addition. WN was less forgiving. Also the reason her role is over even in the LN.

>I let my bitch of a wife dominate me for 20 years and run our fiefdom into the ground, all because of her petty jealousy. I did nothing because I'm a spineless wimp with a terrible case of oneitis.

>>280048836
Basically did?
>lives as a consort/princess
>emperor treats her as a daughter rather than consort
>her mother died but gets a step mother figure in AhDou
She got more of the child experience from them than Jinshi did

>>280053020
is that also something by a woman writer?

>>280053385
This would result in evil Maomao

>>280053548
She would've been an extremely spoiled noble girl

>Lishu

Did you miss the fact that she is filled with shrapnel and metal?

>>280035720
Animeonly here, I genuinely can't tell if this is a meme or if it's real.

Women can't write for shit.

>>280044263
She lelouched. She fucking lelouched.

>>280038275
Actually Loulan saved Maomao from getting spanked to death by telling her she's an apothecary

>>280036927
based and freudpilled

>>280035720
What a little whore

So fucking glad Loulan is out of the picture. Now we can get back to Jinmao kino.

>>280040071
To be fair, Jinshi did princess carry Maomao out. How fast he was walking wasn't stated.

>>280053841
It's real but it's just more edging. Nothing happened since Jinshi chickened out last minute and sent her home.

>>280043735
>>280043839
Throwing off suspicion wasn't Shishou's plan since the rebellion was supposed to be exposed. He just needed to cover up the evidence which he did. That's why at the meeting, Lakan was pressing him about the men they arrested all somehow dying before they could be interrogated.

>>280053975
I mean the anal part specifically. I'm sure there's a bunch of sex scene edging going on but the fact that it's supposed to be anal makes it sound like a meme. Then again, this IS written by a woman so I guess anything is possible really. If it's actually real and I'm not being trolled then I can safely assume that's the author's fetish. But I feel like I'm getting trolled.

>>280048635
Yeah sorry. We tricked you.

>>280045370
I could've saved her. If it were me I would have saved her. God fucking dammit it should have been me...

>>280054098
She's kind of going above and beyond in regards to preparation.

Is maomao going to be kissed next episode?

If I was Jinshi, I would skill Shisui so I wouldn't get cucked.

>>280054129
So is anal actually mentioned or are people just assuming that's what she's going for because she's fasting? If you hadn't noticed this is very important to me and will drastically impact my life. I desperately need to know if maomao is actually willing to take dick up the ass or if that's just /a/ memeing.

>>280038275
Actually Loulan saved Maomao from getting spanked to death by telling her mother she's an apothecary

That dance was so cringe that the soldiers didn't want to touch with their sword.

>>280054221
That dance was so cringe it might as well have been CGI

>>280053020
>AIIIIEEEE
>save me mommy
>*dies
Punching cute girls is a sin.

>>280053193
>old man
Hey the emperor isn't that old. But yeah
>girl constantly takes poison abortion herbs
makes it obvious he fucked her. Then for those who didn't get it, they even spelled it out last episode. How are there still people confused?

>>280054216
is it physically possible to get spanked to death?

>>280054212
Maomao specifically doesn't want to risk having a child due to the HUGE consequences that would cause, and since contraception in that era is shoddy at best, yeah, anal is the 'safe' method that Maomao wants.

>>280038413
At that specific point, she needed someone to protect her from the battle. She even asked Jinshi to protect her. As for her general situation, Shisui and Suirei were looking out for her but she's still a prisoner and by then Shenmei wanted her dead.

>>280033904
>>280033957
>>280045370
Shisui my beloved...

>>280054272
Have you seen chinese spanking? They use these long sticks that break bones if the punisher goes hard enough

I think she actually wanted to die as she stood still waiting to be shot at the first time.
I'd like to believe she planned to make it out alive, but standing still to let them shoot your head is not a good plan.
You can tell they were aiming for her head and missed since she had her arm up and it got shot.
If she did survive it was out of luck and not due to some master plan.

>>280054187
It's not possible to get cucked by a woman.

>>280054368
All she needed was someone to give her hope. Someone to give her something to live for, to look forward to. I could have been that person. I could have done that for her. But instead I had to just sit here and watch it happen. Useless. What the fuck is the point anymore?

>>280054272
>>280054352

>>280054297
>bunch of abortion inducing poisons mentioned throughout story
>death faking miracle poison
>could pretty much just come up with a bullshit 100% success rate contraceptive medicine
>maomao: uhhhh just fuck me in the ass bro
There's no longer any doubt in my mind.
That's the author's fetish.

>>280054368
>I'd like to believe she planned to make it out alive
Nah she already accepted her death when she gave up her bargaining chip and instead used it to ask for mercy on former clan members

>>280054136
*bitten* unless they censor It...

>>280036166
Oh you just wait for next episode. It literally almost happened. Jinshi was mere seconds away from molesting Maomao and she got saved by the kids waking up.

>>280054466
I thought she was going to use the second wish to ensure her sister's safety but she just scratched him in the face, what the hell

>>280054517
The first wish includes her sister's safety. Suirei no longer has the Shi name.

>>280044992
Yeah Jinshi seeing the bruise on Maomao's neck is definitely setting up him biting her. That was a possessive look like
>Someone else made a mark on MY Maomao? I can't let this stand. I need to mark my territory on her. I'll give her a hickey to claim her as mine.

>I'm sorry your majesty, but what do you think about enjoying my pooper?
lol

>>280054468
Why would they censor it? Frog scene was more sexual and they went through with it.

>>280054560
Who are you quoting? Maomao never said this.

>>280052771
She's an abuse victim...

What the fuck? Did Jinshi just deflect the bullet? He's in the wrong story. He should be in a wuxia setting.

So is she still working as a servant with fake freckles on her face after it got out that she's the strategist's daughter?

>>280054560
would

>>280054574
It might be way too kinky for the general public

>>280054560
She already made preparation by skipping breakfast & dinner, even stopped drinking water. It's squeaky clean.

>>280054673
that ruins the fun

>>280054673
Not how it works, you need enema and even then it's hardly 100% clean

>>280054673
>>280054767
Doesn't maomao know about enemas? Like why even bother skipping meals.

>>280054612
He actually looked pretty cool there. Rare Jinshi win moment.

Wait she's supposed to be dying? To me she looked more in shock than dead when Shisui laid her down. There's not much blood and the sharpnel seems to be logged in and plugging the wounds.
The way her arm is stained but her shoulder isn't that stained, yet her hand is intact, doesn't make much sense either. Shit's confusing all around man.

>>280034113

>>280054977
Maomao mating press

>>280054962
They can't show on tv her face being an unrecognizable bloody mess, so sometimes you just have to imagine it's worse than it looks.

>>280054977
Chat is this real?

>>280034865
Manga being to slow is issue because it's good

>>280054460
Abortion inducing poisons aren't guaranteed to work, and can often have harmful side effects. The faking death poison is even worse since you can still easily die or be irreparably maimed by it.

Maomao wanted to be sure, and that's the best way of being 100% sure.

>>280054612
It's a "Fantasy" setting anon, we have flintlock firearms in this setting. For all we know, Jinshi might also be using fantastical weapons too.

>>280054962
Just imagine the shard in her forehead is much longer than it appears to be and is piercing her brain or something.

>>280055125
to be sure, Maomao wanted anal

>>280054962
Pretty sure something doesn't need to be very big to kill you as long as it pierces the throat.
Don't take my word on that though I'm no doctor.

>>280055188
Sure but its also a good idea just generally.

>>280055194
True though if it was just a bleeding to death/throat cut can't breathe properly situation she probably would've had more of a physical reaction to it.

>>280055194
Yes, if it pierces either the carotid artery or jugular vein, but she would be bleeding like crazy then.

>>280054526
>>280054517
Suirei was probably safe-ish before the wishes because she was revealed to be imperial granddaughter and jinshi's niece.

>>280054962
I got spoilered wrong and thought she'd live

>>280055284
No one else important knows though, nor would they be likely to believe Suirei even if she tried to sell the story to someone else.

>>280055357
She has the phoenix pin as proof of royal heritage. It's not a great proof, but it would let her be at least heard.

>>280055357
>>280055493
if someone else did know then anything done against suirei could be used politically too.

>>280045472
most woman moment episode ever
I got tired, seriusly

>>280035720
any anal enjoyers can confirm this rutine?

>>280055493
I would assume they'd just take it from her before letting her go

How does shisui survive this one bros?

>>280055709
skipping eating is fine if you know ahead of time you'll be doing it, though doing so for three days beforehand is way excessive.

>>280055724
metal plate or several layers of leather padding or something? Wouldn't be that hard to make the bullet into a non-lethal flesh wound at least.

>>280055284
>Suirei was probably safe-ish
Not really. It can be used as a reason to spare her but it could just as easily be used as a reason to execute her, especially since she was complicit in a rebellion.

>>280055726
After three days of fasting and one day of no water she'd probably pass out before they would get to do anything. And Maomao made it even worse by drinking alcohol.

>>280033981
>>280039625
Shisui is so beautiful. She had such a tragic life and had to live as her mother's puppet for so long, but these last months she had the chance to experience freedom. She was at her happiest chasing bugs and playing around with Maomao and Xiaolan. That was her real self. A true free spirit. I love her.

>>280052527
MaoYuu has 2 different manga as well.

>>280054612
>He should be in a wuxia setting.
>he doesn't know about one of the most popular wuxia court drama romance in asian countries back in the days
Chicks love wuxia and court drama.

>guy commits federal crimes just to elope with you
>tells him to fuck off
>gets thrown out, go back to the guy you told to fuck off
>guy you told to fuck off has seemingly moved on and get his own wife
>starts seething
She deserved worse, honestly.

>>280056153
Worst part is the guy didn't move on, he literally took the emperor's side bitch to get her back, the tragedy is a combination of shishou being a beta simp and shenmei is a bitch

>>280056153
She was such a jealous bitch

pistol-borne feifa balls can't break imperial-grade silver pins polished 1000 times.
creepshi's feelings for catcat saved the bug girl.

>>280055724
It literally shows that the bullet didn't penetrate the skin.
Also a person falling from height is a classic literature sign that they aren't really dead.

>>280042989
>but I don't know if she used them or not.
Not only retard, but speedwatcher too.

>>280054212
First is anal, then she also implies that methods without penetration could be used

>>280044590
Ok, jump from a 3rd floor while landing with your head on the snow, go on, we will wait here to read how well it went for you.

>>280042989
>they said that the emperor never visited her
Wrong, it said that the emperor doesn't like visiting Loulan as much as the other two concubines because of Loulan's cosplays. He's still obliged to visit her as part of his duties, while he'll happily visit Gyokuyou and Lihua more often,for pleasure on top of royal obligations.

>>280047674
The world need to get shippers erased from the face of the earth.

>>280056565
In the original draft(not the current WN) Loulan faked a pregnancy, but there she was a fullblown villainess and Jinshi lost his hand to her.
Maomao didn't get involved directly in the original draft, she simply uncovers the plot

>>280056628
We're talking about the anime here. What happened in some draft is irrelevant to the discussion.

>>280056628
So he's an amputee in the novel? That's fucking wild

>>280055144
And her neck... Its probably due to self-limitation that they didn´t show a waterfall of blood through the carotid

>>280048289
keep the nuhammer to it's containment board

>>280056548
>while landing with your head on the snow
She did a midair flip offscreen.

>>280056648
If I remember correctly he gets three fingers amputated and the face scar.
Also original Maomao before the rewrite was more of a yandere and that gets off in seeing Jinshi needing her.

This isn't canon anymore but it's fun to read

>>280056648
The author also claimed that the OG story she had in mind, Maomao was supposed to be married to Gaoshun and had 3 kids...

>>280056792
That's an original idea, while you can still find the draft on narou and read it.

>>280056792
She never said anything about Gaoshun. "Maomao being a mom of 3" was supposed to take place in a mining town, not in not-China setting.

>>280055724
No blood.

>>280056885
>No blood.

>>280041007
>>280048190
Everything about that entire thing was weird and unnecessary
>Muh muh, I need to boobytrap the gun rather than just shoot the faggot.

...why?
That entire thing felt so weird and unnecessary to create fake stakes that were never there.

>>280041055
This too shows how weird the plan was:
>My plan relies on the person I want to kill taking the gun from me and turning it on me and then the exploding shrapnel which flies off in completely random directions will just happen to hit a vital part of this person, and not of me rather than just shooting this person with an un-boobytrapped gun.

>>280056938
Those are ketchup packets she was saving for later.

>>280056751
I mean, people have survived falling from planes landing on soft snow.

>>280056628
Another good reason why The King's Beast is better.
In the King's Beast, Ten'you is actually useful /and/ het gets his arm cut off for protecting protecting someone who was originally taken captive due to his own negligence, finally atoning for that.

>>280057005
Sometimes, you got to drive a message. Shenmei had a choice, she chose poorly.

>>280045862
I just heard the bullet supposedly bounced off the hairpin tucked in Loulan's breast

>>280057005
Because she wanted Jinshi to see all of this and she knew her mother would try taking the gun from him.

>>280057028
The plan mainly worked because she knew her mom is a spiteful bitch but she herself doesn't want to deliver the coup de grace. So she gave her mom a "choice". If her mom still had a tiny little bit of conscience, then the gun wouldn't matter. If the mom was truly beyond salvation, then she's the one who 'chose' it. Yes, she could have just shot her mom herself, but the whole point is that she doesn't want to BUT deep down knew her mom is a spiteful enough bitch to want to shoot her.

I swear, some of you people just claim a thing doesn't make sense without considering motivations of characters.

>>280057246
And even then you could just do it when that person aims for the gun rather than standing there and most of all, as I said, the boobytrap relied on pure chance to work.
Both were as close as the other to the gun, one just held it and somehow by pure chance got all the shrapnel.

>>280034200
What was the premise of the bite scene? Why did he do it?

>>280057436

>>280054548

>>280057436
Possessive people tend to have biting kink.

>>280057436
Some cringe shoujo shit

>>280057471
Ahhh I see thanks

>>280056938
It's shot from a pistol. I'd be more worried if she was shot with a full size musket.
