Assassin Heroine Turns Yandere!? "Knife-Wielding Outburst" is Too Scary in "The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses" Episode 7

On August 23rd, the anime "The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses" aired its 7th episode, where the cool character Anemone (CV: Hitomi Ueda) went berserk. Not only did she approach the hero saying, "Let's fall in love with each other," but she also exploded with jealousy, knife in hand. This has viewers exclaiming, "She's turned Yandere," "Is she really serious...?"

In the 7th episode titled "The Shy Hero and the Town of Mad Love," the hero Toto (CV: Shunsuke Takeuchi) and his party visited a castle town where the townspeople seemed strange. They excessively revered love, saying things like, "Those who do not show love will be sentenced to life imprisonment!" and "Do you have enough love~!?" It seems that the entire town is under some sort of mass hypnosis.

In the midst of investigating with Toto, Anemone accidentally falls under the hypnosis as well and attacks him, saying, "Do you have enough love~?" "Come, Hero. Let's fall in love." When Toto mentions the name of a comrade saying, "Maybe Gore's medicine can cure it," Anemone flies into a rage, pulls out a knife, and says, "How dare you... mention another woman's name in front of me!"

The sudden change in Anemone, who is usually calm, has caused a stir online, with comments like "She's turned Yandere," "Anemone has become like the other townspeople, but will she return...?" "I thought Anemone was acting, but is she serious...?"
