Después del peso del episodio 8, el anime respira un poco. Fujimaru intenta reclutar a Ishtar con un plan de Gilgamesh que es tan ridículo que de alguna forma funciona. Ligero, divertido y con un final de hoguera que es de los momentos más tranquilos y bonitos de la serie.

Este episodio es hermoso, tiene esa esencia de fate en los dialogos que tanto caracteriza a la saga, Ishtar es un gran personaje, el que ahora sea parte del grupo le dará mayor presencia en pantalla y eso está perfecto, aporta tanto en poder por ser una diosa, como en alguno que otro momento gracioso por su actitud tsundere para aliviar tensiones, y encima es hermosa, un personaje completo.

Episode Context

After the intensity of recent battles, Episode 9 downshifts into a strategically minded, character-driven affair. The focus lands squarely on diplomacy rather than combat, as Ritsuka, Mash, and Merlin attempt to bring the goddess Ishtar into their corner. Expect a tonal cocktail of tension and levity, negotiations with a divine being carry real stakes, but Ishtar's personality keeps things from becoming too grim. The pacing leans dialogue-heavy, exploring the power dynamics between mortals trying to bargain with gods who hold all the cards. CloverWorks delivers strong character animation during these exchanges, letting facial expressions and body language do significant narrative work. This is a breather episode in the best sense, it doesn't stall momentum, it redirects it. The human-divine relationship theme gets its most direct examination yet.
