Yarinaoshi Reijou wa Ryuutei Heika wo Kouryakuchuu • The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor – Episode 2 discussion

Jill is as much a Damsel as the average Villainess protagonist.

God damn, that curse backstory. I guess we know who the actual Damsel is.

Ok, hold up. She just threw a ship. She. Threw. A. Ship! She’s going to single handedly crush this uprising isn’t she?

Jill is in this relationship with Hadis for the longhaul! Unconventional as it is! Though while she wants the marriage to be in-name-only, Hadis is already putting a ring on it to mark her as the Dragon Emperor’s wife and even sweet-talking his beloved “amethyst.” For one reason or another, Hadis really enjoys having a wife.

The OP is very fun and vibrant! Featuring Jill and Hadis’ meeting, coming together, Gerard busting a move, and our main pair so happy to be together.

Attack on the sea! You can tell Jill has military experience because she immediately goes into action and is fully prepared for ship-to-ship combat! And by ship-to-ship combat, I mean Jill flying around and tossing around all the enemy ships! All for the sake of someone who went out of their way to protect her and prioritize her safety. Not that she needs protection, but the sentiment is appreciated.

Not only does Jill have to deal with being married to Hadis now, but she’s also got a rival in love in Sphere! Who despite calling her a “thieving kitten” seems really cute and sweet. Could she really be capable of murdering her rivals and killing herself, though?

I was wondering why Hadis wasn’t able to get access to Jill, but it’s because he’s become a baker! He’s going to make her fall for him with the power of croquettes! Which admittedly are actually quite successful, though Jill still needs to slap some sense into him that a marriage isn’t built on croquettes alone.

Hadis has actually been through a lot. Despite being the true Dragon Emperor (since he could see Rave), his mother shunned him, his family all proceeded to die in one gruesome fashion or another, his father only put him on the throne out of fear, and his mother straight up killed herself on his coronation day. Like…jeez. Even the one brother who was loyal to him, Viselles, ends up turning on him in the original timeline.

But at least now Hadis has Jill, and she’ll do all she can to prevent this from happening! Even if Hadis is now suddenly acting the tsundere about not falling for her when he’s making all this effort to make her fall for him…also, what’s this about three years?

Jill disguised as a boy! Perfect for slipping incognito.

So the true villain is Marquess Beale (Yutaka Aoyama)! Trying to frame Jill for a rebellion using thugs he employs and undermine Hadis’ authority! He’s even willing to use his own daughter in the process! What a scumbag.

Sphere honestly has a lot going on in her life. She’s genuinely in love with and loyal to Hadis, especially because he was there for her after her mom died, her dad remarried and didn’t care about her, and people shunned her for getting along with dragons. You actually feel bad for her that she got rejected because she was 16. But that just motivates Jill to save her.

Poor Jill. Even after all that was going right in her life for once, she (and Sphere) end up in handcuffs and she’s about to framed for yet ANOTHER crime she didn’t commit. But at least it seems like she’s been reunited with her most trusted aids, Camila and Zeke, who get along like oil and water and has renewed motivation to make this timeline the best it can be. Also, is that her main outfit they threw in too?

“One of my brothers died while washing his face in the sink”

Was I suppose to lol? Cause I lol’ed.

[What the actual fuck Jill!](https://i.imgur.com/WqBdnDH.jpeg) I definitely did not expect her to throw an entire ship [and tank a fucking cannonball!](https://i.imgur.com/FM0Ls4K.jpeg) I guess she didn’t just get a redo on her life, she managed to get a redo while retaining her powers from the future. This will make things fun since she won’t be a damsel-in-distress. If anything, [Hadis might be the one who needs saving.](https://i.imgur.com/MuqwZzl.jpeg)

[Sphere is hilarious!](https://i.imgur.com/HWX91Ed.jpeg) I feel like she’ll be more of a comic relief than Jill’s love rival. [Jill’s reaction to being called a thieving cat was pretty funny.](https://i.imgur.com/ogcQ0Ym.jpeg) Although considering Jill knows of the future, [we might have to watch Sphere carefully.](https://i.imgur.com/RSb1akk.jpeg) I can’t even imagine a girl like her committing a murder-suicide.

Damn, that curse Hadis has is insane with everyone in line of the throne dying so he could become the next emperor. I do love how [Jill looks at Rave](https://i.imgur.com/OJF6drL.jpeg) as if she already suspects he was the one responsible. I do wonder if this curse Hadis has is what ends up turning him into a tyrant in the future. Hmmm…

[So these fuckers want to blame Jill for those harbour “attacks”?](https://i.imgur.com/OGl90SS.png) Oh boy, considering Jill just threw an entire ship at the start of the episode, this will be interesting. For now, it looks like [Jill got herself caught so she can interview Sphere for a little bit.](https://i.imgur.com/4dx4s2f.jpeg) I can’t wait to see how this turns out.

Is it just my imagination, or are they saying “Sophia” when the subtitles say “Sphere”? Does it sound like that to anyone else? Is her name Sphere in the Manga?
