Himesama Goumon no Jikan desu [Season 2 Episode 2]

“Himesama Goumon no Jikan desu” Season 2 Episode 2: Puzzles, Bunnies, and Yuri Vibes

Let’s cut to the chase—this episode was a chaotic mix of “what the heck?” and “I can’t stop smiling.” If you’re here for over-the-top comedy, unexpected Jojo references, and bunnies so cute they qualify as actual torture, then you’re in the right place.

First off, let’s talk about the new girl: Sakura. The pink-haired assassin turned demon army recruit? Chef’s kiss. Fans are already screaming “haters to lovers” yuri vibes between her and our beloved princess, and honestly? Same. When she flipped sides after her own kingdom sold her out, it felt less like a betrayal and more like common sense—Mao’s crew might be demons, but at least they don’t stab you in the back (literally). We need more of her and Hime’s dynamic stat.

Now, the “torture” of the week: metal puzzles. The demon scientists really thought they could outsmart Hime with a puzzle that “won’t break under great strength”? Please. Our princess doesn’t solve puzzles—she obliterates them. That scene where she snapped the lock like it was a KitKat? Pure Jojo energy. One fan even joked they must’ve modeled it after that spiky-haired blonde warrior (you know the one), but let’s be real—Hime’s strength is in a league of her own. Though, props to the ring puzzle for surviving her durability test. Small wins, right?

But let’s get to the real torture: the bunnies. Usachi and Chacha’s cuteness was a weapon of mass destruction. Watching grown demons melt over fluffy rabbits? Relatable. One fan even admitted it made them miss their own bunnies—same, friend. Same.

And can we talk about the OP? ILLIT’s “Magnetic” is stuck in my head, and I’m not mad about it. 5th gen K-pop idols doing an anime opening? Surreal, but they’re never beating those “irl anime girls” allegations. Iconic.

Is this episode groundbreaking? No. Is it a chaotic, fun mess that had me cackling? Absolutely. The princess is still unbreakable, Excalibur’s still her ride-or-die, and now we’ve got a new assassin bestie. What more could you want?

Final thought: If you’re here for deep lore, go watch Attack on Titan. But if you want to see a princess destroy puzzles, gush over bunnies, and low-key flirt with an assassin? This episode’s for you. 8/10—would let the bunnies torture me again.

P.S. RIP to anyone who now has a sudden urge to buy metal puzzles. We’ve all been there.
