Divine Gate episode 7

Ok seriously what the fuck?!  This week episode took a sharp turn to the left. From the pass episode while it was vaguely mention the main focus of this whole anime was to get to the gate and that each main character has a reason to get to the gate, APPARENTLY somewhere along this week episode somebody at HQ must have said "Fuck it" because we got  this train wreck  mess of a episode.


We start this weeks episode off with Alto and his friends with the Knights of the round table now apparently dressed in all white. I say this because the Knight spend the pass episode dressed in all black are somehow now magically dressed in all white for what reason i do not know but all of them are standing in front of the area that lead them to where the  gate is. Before they are able to get to the gate they have to fight some "gods" that protect the gate  so the knights decide that it would be best to let their leader, Arther, and Alto and his friends go on head to the gate while they engage in the most useless battle scene since this show has aired.

So the four are at the gate and somehow during the bloodbath that ended with all but one of the knights dead the gods ended up merging together for some reason and attack Arther into the gate. Alto and his friends start to bang on the close door of the gate for it to open but that when the only survivor of the knights show up and tell them to relax. Beaten and almost on his last leg  Arther is almost finished but that when his good old dick of a pal Loki shows up and offer him a deal,  stop trying to destroy the gate and be his or just die right there.

Side note -while the other knights was fighting and dying it was reviled to the only survivor  that Arther doesn't want the gate he wants to DESTROY  the gate and restore the world to what it was before the gate existed. Why? who care.

The gate opens and

I guessed he chosed the first option because he stab the last surviving Meyerbeer of the knights before accepting the dark power from the sword loki gave him in the gate.


This episode was a hot mess. Animation aside it was like this was ment to be somewhere near the ending episode not episode 7. It nwas like someone took a page from Madoka Magica episode 3 and change the story pacing. The Knight fight scene was a mess and kinda not really needed. Arther turning evil was predictable but the way they chose to portray it was kinda awkward to me  this whole episode could be summed up with a big old what and why?

The episode end with alto and friends falling through the floor along with the dead body of the guy Arther stab.
