This is an EPIC episode. Best “game” I’ve seen so far from this series.

The game is against Jibril, a girl, the strongest of Flugel race. She loves knowledge to the point of obsessed about it. She won Imanity’s main library from the previous king and has been lived in the library since. The game is to get the library back. But after Sora offers 40,000 books in his tablet device, Jibril adds “her everything” as part of the wager.

This week’s game is a word game. One person says a word and the other must continue the word from the last character of the previous word. There is a little twist to the game. Every word used in the game becomes more than just word. If the word is about something that doesn’t exist around them, it will appear. If it exists around them, it will disappear. Whoever can’t continue with the next word within 30 seconds loses. By end of the game, everything will return to normal.

Sora opens his first word with hydrogen bomb. Since the object didn’t exist before, it summons a bomb which explode immediately. Under normal circumstances, all of them will be killed by the bomb. Luckily Jibril use “bkulians” as her next word, it is a magic of a highest level that casts protection (sealing spell). Jibril wouldn’t want the game to end in the first move by a self-destruct summoning. Sora uses his chance quickly by using the word “spirit circuits”, which actually something on Jibril’s wings that allows her to fly. Since it existed around them, using that word will remove it, Jibril can’t fly now.

The next words seem to be totally random. Like, Sora removes all “nether regions”, “bikini” and even “every girl’s clothes”. Even though it seems random and perverted, apparently all these words are part of a grand plan.

Right before the big ending, Sora provokes Jibril with the word “empty-headed academic”, mocking her as someone who only learns from books and not knowing how things work in the real world. After thanking Stephanie for all her “help”, Sora and Shiro run together while casting their word “litosphere”. This word removes the outer layer (surface) of the planet, revealing the planet core, a ball of super hot magma. So everyone is falling into the core now, while still continuing the game. Jibril’s word is “morning”, which removes the sun. Sora and Shiro chooses the word “oxygen”, which removes oxygen from the air.

Jibril chooses “air”, thinking that she would be able to breathe again. Wrong. Sora and Shiro only removed the oxygen, not the entire air. And oxygen only contributes around 20% of air. So casting air will remove all other gasses, but bring back 100% pure oxygen. Breathing 100% oxygen is poisonous. So while Jibril still can’t breathe, Sora and Shiro are doing circular breathing between them (not sure whether this is scientifically possible or not).

Next, Sora and Shiro uses the word “atmosphere”. Basically this removes everything around them, creating a vacuum environment just like in outer space. Since there can be no voice in vacuum space, Jibril can’t say her next word. But as a Flugel, Jibril can still use magic to write her answer: “empty-headed academic”. Apparently, this is the original plan since the beginning: to provoke Jibril to use that word so Sora can answer with “Coulomb’s force” and creating a nuclear explosion at universe level. Yep, Sora created a hypernova, capable of destroying stars of light years away, with temperature of 50 billion degree Celcius, rivaling the dawn of creation. That hypernova kills everyone.

note: Coulomb’s law is a physics theory about electrostatic force of interaction between two point charges. It correctly describes the force between the positively charged atomic nucleus and each of the negatively charged electrons. To put simply, Coulomb’s force accounts for the forces that bind atoms together to form molecules and for the forces that bind atoms and molecules together to form solids and liquids. When this force disappears, atoms will no longer stick together as molecules. If the breaking process super tiny material into energy can create explosion of nuclear weapon, imagine if every material in the universe explode at the same time.

Since Sora was the last one answering, it means Jibril is not able to answer. She lost. The game ends. Everything returns to normal, including poor Stephanie who died earlier when there was no atmosphere (or maybe she reached the planet core? not sure anymore). Jibril learns that Sora and Shiro were summoned by Tet. Sora lets Jibril read those 40,000 books anyway, plus she can still live in the library. Jibril pledges loyalty to Sora and Shiro. And Stephanie is still “forced” to act like a dog.

I can’t find a proper word to describe how much I LOVE this episode. Truly a grand scenario. And putting such a show in episode 6 makes me hope for something even better in the following episodes. Hopefully they have something much better for the finale !
