CLEVATES -The King of Beasts and the Babysitter- #5 Reactions: Alicia, who has no sword, manifests a brand new power!

Commenter

Ep 5 of #Clevatess – Curen's black tower, Zafutye questioning theprovocation, and Curen rating Alicia higher than expected. Vordein giving powers to the students. Alicia overcomes the trial of facing herself before death to awaken her magic, sees through the headmaster's trap, but can't escape Andrew, the master of the room.

Commenter

Worked on ep 5, handling 35 LO/key anim cuts + 70 animation supervision cuts! Drawing all those beasts and fiends was tough… Got so much great advice from the chief animation supervisor, such a valuable experience! Big thanks to all the staff, really hope you enjoyed it!

Commenter

Alicia's basically immortal physically thanks to demon blood, has a hero's mental fortitude, and thinks so fast on her feet that I feel like the authors think any amount of torture will taste good. Can't even argue with that logic (it's the best mix of badass and edge-of-your-seat panic).

Commenter

Thought Alicia was having an unusually smart moment after clearing her trial or whatever, but nope, about to go through hell again. Also Naie heading to the tower looking pale as hell, wonder if she's about to have a miserable time too.

Commenter

Season 2 Episode 5: The "Alicia is in pain" hour just by watching. The power she got fits her to a T, but since the pain never stops the tension stays through the roof. She's really milking her corpse status for all it's worth.

Commenter

Anime thoughts. Fake Alicia was amazing!! Seeing this giant fake Alicia looking down with an evil grin gives me chills!! The way the real one takes her down is also top tier!! I love fake hero tropes!!

Commenter

They said it was a school arc so I thought it'd be one of those magic school slice-of-life deals, but it's just the same gory fantasy battles as season 1! Not that I'm complaining at all though lol!

Commenter

If this was JoJo when her neck almost gets chopped off she'd be like "oooooh nooooo stop ittttt" with blood spurting everywhere, but you just know by next episode she'll be totally fine.

Commenter

It's so easy to forget Alicia is actually strong—like she is a hero after all—just because she's standing next to Clevatess and looks underwhelming by comparison until they split up.

Commenter

Didn't Alicia fall from a high place and get completely squished once, and even when her limbs got chopped off they just reattached? So getting 'Mami'd' should be totally fine, right?

Commenter

Feel like Naie's dragged-into-this reactions are the absolute highlight of the episode at this point… is that even okay lol?

Commenter

It's great that getting Mami'd won't kill her, but like, won't she be completely paralyzed if she gets Mami'd while not connected to Curen??

Commenter

Alicia's skill type isn't something you see much in anime, feels kinda like a fighting game ultimate meter or somethin.

Commenter

"Cuz she's the only hero who ever reached me." God I love this line…

Commenter

I mean sure, she basically became Clevatess's lackey, but is she really just some two-bit character?

Commenter

The Alicia style of bullying the absolute crap out of even herself! And all her lines are so savage too!

Commenter

Isn't this skill way too tailored for her? The art and the dialogue are both so good.

Commenter

Hehehe… talk about harsh words, though I guess it's just facts so whatever.

Commenter

Feel like some insanely important lore is just getting dumped back-to-back here?!

Commenter

Love how Curen's words actually cut deep into Alicia…

Commenter

So God's blessing works on a point system? Is this guy's inner soul Yokoya?

Commenter

Alicia getting stronger the more she's backed into a corner is peak hero behavior.

Commenter

She's the kind of person you can snap and bend into a pretzel because she'll just super-heal anyway.

Commenter

Just because she can revive with demon blood doesn't mean you gotta squish her into a slow-ass dumpling.

Commenter

Wait, is Alicia wearing another spicy outfit again!?

Commenter

Cle-san actually being a good boy worried about his minion is so sweet.

Commenter

Naie-chan looking completely done and disgusted is so cute lmaoooooo.

Commenter

That ain't just regular magic… that's advanced magic, mega magic!

Commenter

Shadow legion?! Am I about to level up solo here or what…

Commenter

Naie getting dragged into another absolute mess… w

Commenter

She literally looks like she's getting blasted away with a gag-manga face.

Commenter

Isn't Alicia getting way too good at self-sacrifice?

Commenter

This episode literally has the exact energy of a JoJo battle.

Commenter

The first half was decapitation hour (there are no decapitation scenes in the second half).

Commenter

Honestly, it lasted longer than expected given Clevatess's personality.

Commenter

Even Clevatess has a pretty high opinion of Alicia, huh.

Commenter

Pronounced more like a flowing "Hagoromo-zard" instead of wizard.

Commenter

Walk through the gate, get a skill, but lose your memories.

Commenter

I see right through everything you've done!!

Commenter

Isn't an Alicia-turned-breeding-ground way too ecchi?

Commenter

Whoa, looked like her facial skin was literally peeling off just now!?

Commenter

Headmaster, if you're gonna slip up, make sure it's just a wig.

Commenter

W-wait, is everyone getting power-ups right now, that's insane!

Commenter

Sucking nutrients straight out of Alicia-san (double meaning)

Commenter

Did the original Alicia always have this much front?

Commenter

Is there some kind of magical energy storing up in her tail?

Commenter

Clevatess-san did say he trusted her earlier, after all.

Commenter

Haven't seen an ally look this much like an actual ally in forever.

Commenter

So this is Alicia and Drell's secret room!?

Commenter

Getting used to walking on four legs that fast just shows insane adaptability.

Commenter

Explained the whole plot. This guy's not gonna last long as an enemy.

Commenter

Uh, looks like the minion is in deep trouble over there…

Commenter

How is she tangled up in all those thorns without her clothes ripping?

Commenter

Getting a weird itchy feeling around my butt (double meaning)

Commenter

Is there even any point in using a fake name like Curen Bartes?

Commenter

Zafutye-sama has been acting way too rational the whole time…

Commenter

Well at least she's helping cut down the casualties.

Commenter

Oh it's pronounced Ui-zard instead of Wizard.

Commenter

That was a mighty fine scream you let out lmao.

Commenter

The me from before I lost my left eye was staring right at me.

Commenter

Look closely at the OP and it's totally stacked.

Commenter

Alright, time for a "battle against myself"…!

Commenter

Turns out I had magical talent too (was it just courage?)

Commenter

I hate shrewd little heroes like you.

Commenter

Bruh, why is this bishop's resistance to getting taunted so low…!?

Commenter

By the power of the Command Seals I command you (not a Command Seal)

Commenter

Never expected this to turn into a self-reflection hour.

Commenter

Naie's face is looking slightly pale…… w

Commenter

Giving off this super sticky, creepy vibe ()

Commenter

Well, not like chopping off her head would do anything though.

Commenter

Then why go to such lengths?

Commenter

Aren't there way too many Demon Kings hanging out at school (now you mention it)

Commenter

Think the minion's ever crawling out of that jar?

Commenter

Casually dropping a major final boss out of nowhere.

Commenter

My body feels so light… I don't feel a thing anymore.

Commenter

Was the tail always this big?

Commenter

A snail (it's an omen, dumbass)

Commenter

The me was staring right at me.

Commenter

Long time no see!! Left Eye-san!!

Commenter

If I can't resist the voice, the live-tweet ends here.

Commenter

Knew the bishop had already been apostle-ized.

Commenter

Come to think of it, was that bird person a subordinate of theirs?

Commenter

The minion's looking pretty damn cooked over there.

Commenter

The strangler fig is totally real, huh.

Commenter

What the hell is going on with that face.

Commenter

Zafutye-sama's slight lisp is adorable!

Commenter

Oh, so that's how you're gonna steer this.
