Almost every episode left me saying, “what the fuck is going on” or “what is happening”. If I had to describe Dies Irae, it’s this: confusing and frustrating. He is desperate to return to his normal, everyday life, but even now he hears Shirou's words: "Everyone who remains in this city eventually loses their minds." He tries to value what he has left to him, but every night he sees the same dream: a guillotine, murderers who hunt people, and the black clothed knights who pursue the murderers. It has been two months since the incident that brought him to the hospital: a fight with his friend Shirou Yusa where they almost tried to kill each other. Now in December in the present day in Suwahara City, Ren Fujii spends his days at the hospital. Few know of their existence, and even those who knew began to pass away as the decades passed. Years later, no one knows if this group of officers succeeded, or whether they lived or died. For them, the slaughter in the city is nothing but the perfect ritual sacrifice in order to bring back the Order of the 13 Lances, a group of supermen whose coming would bring the world's destruction. Episodes will also be available in selected regions outside Japan via Crunchyroll.On in Berlin, as the Red Army raises the Soviet flag over the Reichskanzlei, a group of Nazi officers conduct a ritual. Information on other broadcast schedules and online resources can be found on the series' official site. JST on Tokyo MX, and on Saturdays at 9 p.m. JST on BS11, on Fridays late night at 1:05 a.m. "Dies Irae" airs on Mondays late night at 12:30 a.m. The next episode titled "Swastika" hints at more revelations regarding Heydrich's ultimate goal, and may even see the opening of a new swastika or two. But since he was hospitalized following a fistfight with his best friend as mentioned in the premiere episode, is it safe to assume that this ability has no effect on Ren at all? This is said to have always kept him from dying. Shirou has a heightened sense of detecting danger, sort of like déjà vu, that helps him dodge attacks with superhuman agility. There is also the mystery of how Shirou acquired his ability, which he claimed to have had for much of his life. How can Ren ever hope to defeat such a powerful enemy and what role will his best friend, Shirou, play by his side? Is Marie dead, yet again, after the skeletal monster stabbed her through the chest? What did Heydrich mean when he said that Ren feared war, and thus would never match his power?
Moreover, with only two swastikas currently opened, it seems that Heydrich, who has, in turn, summoned a giant golden skeletal monster, has not even rich a quarter of his true strength. Heydrich, along with Mercurius, formed the Obsidian Round Table together, but after disappearing following the fall of Berlin during the Second World War, his whereabouts were unknown until Father Valeria Trifa summoned him to face off with Ren.Īnd even though Ren has already gained a stronger grasp of his powers, he still proved to be no match for the enemy, who has been powered by a million souls. And with Ren having only recently come upon his powers, he unsurprisingly lost their first encounter on the Japanese action-fantasy anime series, "Dies Irae."Īside from revealing Shirou Yusa did possess a supernatural ability to aid Ren in his battle against the Longinus Dreizehn Orden, the previous episode has also finally brought out the series' ultimate villain, Reinhard Heydrich. Ren Fujii's ultimate enemy has appeared, bringing with him a power so immense, his mere presence could destroy everything in his midst.
