Zero no Tsukaima: Princess no Rondo – Episode 9
Dragons are so moe
Princess no Rondo seems to have perfected the art of giving us just enough to return week after week, yet filling each episode with pointless banter. Of course, that can be said just about any series, but never have I been more expectant before an episode, only to be completely demoralised and disappointed at the end of it.
Summary
After Tabitha disappeared from the academy, Louise and the Odine Knights mount a search among the tallest grass patches and bushes in the academy. Not only does it waste a few minute that can otherwise be used to develop the story, it also allowed for numerous breast related jokes the writers just can’t seem to get enough of.
Maybe Tabitha shrunk
They get interrupted by Irukukwu who falls from the sky, completely naked and announces that she ’s Tabitha’s little sister. Apparently, falling from the sky nude is a common activity in Tristain, as they seem to be more surprised at her relationship with Tabitha than at the nature of her arrival or her state of undress.
Doesn’t he already have a girlfriend?
After learning from Irukukwu, that Tabitha has being abducted arrested by an incestuous molester her uncle Joseph, the first thing they do is ask Henrietta permission to start a war. Of course she didn’t like the idea of Saito running off to rescue one of her love rivals, and locked them up in the dungeons. That and because she also wanted to see Tabitha compromising positions.
He’s so civil now, what happened to that impulsive kill-them-all attitude?
Louise got lonely with only Henritta as company, and decided to join Saito. I guess she prefer a foursome in a prison cell over hawt lesbian love with the Queen.
Enough cloaks?
After a long break, Joseph, Sheffield’s shady master, decided it was finally time to get back to work. In his first scene in a long while, he discards all of his shadiness and reveals that his is actually Tabitha’s uncle. Why is everyone in this show somehow related to on another? Soon, it will be revealled that Bidashal is actually Tifa’s long lost brother.
Straight from figurines to incest
Unlike Saito, Kirche wasn’t self-delusional enough to believe that silent protest and the power of persuasion would actually work. So she brings along the Ostland to bust them out of prison. This proves a valuable point: never build a weapon that you have no defense against. On the off chance it falls into the wrong hands, you won’t be able to stop it.
They left the engines back at the academy
Just incase you didn’t know, Irukukwu is Sylphid, Tabitha’s familiar. Dragon tits fanservice for everyone!
Thoughts
Saito really has come a long way since the first season. Normally, upon hearing Tabitha’s predicament, he would have just charged into Gallia with little or no regard, but this time he actually went to ask permission first. Unfortunately, he forgot one thing, Tristain isn’t a democracy, it is a tyrannical dictatorship where all decisions are made by a very hawt Monarch. In such a government, one girl’s wimps trumps all and something as trivial as friendship are ignored.
Thinking of new insults is hard work
Considering how well, endowed Irukukwu is, there isn’t a single trace of those breast when she transforms into Sylphid. This leaves me to conclude that she is actually a trap! Either that or I don’t know my dragon anatomy.
Those are man boobs!
We still have yet to discover exactly what Joseph’s plans are. We know he wants the void users for some plan of world domination, and he’s using Tabitha in order to get to Louise. He also has deep seeded grudge against Tabitha and her mother that may reappear later on in the season. Argh, this series isn’t worth my time to make predictions for. For all I care, a Gundam will appear through a dimensional rift in space and time, and it will destroy the world so we won’t get a fourth season of this train wreck of a franchise. Actually, that wouldn’t be a bad ending.
Anticipation builds as they decide on the next bondage position
Screencaps
She hid there on purpose
“Louise did you get bigger?”
DO NOT WANT!
Which demographic are they appealling to with this?
Louise really doesn’t want children
The perfect interrogation room
They ran out of shirts, so a pillow casee will have to do
Who says guys never fold their clothes
Colbert didn’t have much stamina
Two beds, three guys
“Don’t worry, we don’t need three beds to have fun time.”
“You want to join us?”
Don’t take it, it’s yaoi!
Real men carry 50 million spoons
Wouldn’t it be smarter to dig in the same place?
“I left my spoons behind.”

Just so you know, I haven’t read the novels and I’m judging it based on its value as an anime. Thus far, it’s a slightly more interesting than watching paint dry, and that’s only because of the fanservice. I’ll give it a better review when it provides me with an episode worth praising.
