Anime

    Ep 1: This Hero is Too Cautious 
  • Ristarte's buzzer doll gets just as emotional as she is in a few anime scenes.
  • Just how easily Rista gets Distracted by the Sexy anytime she walks in on Seiya shirtless, at least when the situation isn't serious.
    • And for that matter, Ristarte's Engrish.
    (Sees Seiya's abs, starts drooling) Ooh, six-pack...note 
    (Sees Seiya out of the shower, both her and her little statue buzzer has a nose bleed) Ooh, sexy...
  • Seiya feeling the need to buy three sets of the same armor. Why three? One that he actually wears on the adventure. A second that he keeps as a spare. And a third that serves as another spare in case the spare becomes unusable.
  • Seiya using Atom Split-Slash... On a slime.
  • The ending, where Seiya stoically flees from Chaos Machina, and an infuriated Ristarte chases after him, with the most evil face yet.
    Ristarte: You'd run away and leave a goddess behind?!

    Ep 2: Too Much For a Novice Goddess to Bear 
  • Ristarte running into an exploding smoke bomb.
  • After escaping Chaos Machina, Rista lands on top of Seiya. When it looks like he going to kiss her, cue him flinging her across the room.
  • Seiya stating that Chaos Machina was many times stronger then the slime. Rista states the obvious as Chaos is one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
  • Rista's description of Chaos's skill.
    Rista: She's swinging that sword like a bad metaphor!
  • Chaos goes on a dramatic tear hyping up her Demonic Curse ability... and then stabs herself entirely through. Rista is very confused by how Chaos is raving about her power as she collapses to the ground bleeding out.
  • When Ristarte realizes that Seiya purposely masked his level to fool Chaos, she tries to scan him for real. Cue several locks that say not to look any further, and insult her. When she uses Megamic Power, her eyes nearly pop out from overusing the skill.
    • Then she realizes that he had that skill since the previous episode. She's then utterly disturbed by how "sick" his level of caution truly is.
  • After beating Chaos, Rista runs up to him to hug him. It then revealed that she did it to smell him, before causally dodging sword strikes from Seiya.
    • When she asks why he didn't tell her about Fake Out, its revealed because she might have been attacked by a memory stealing monster, which is represented by a small creature with a long beak sucking up her brain, with her having a brain-dead expression, and is opened via lid.
  • Seiya sweeps up the cinders of Chaos, and then repeatedly uses Hell's Fire to obliterate them and her sword. Then he uses his Secret Skill Maximum Inferno, causing a wildfire and major property damage. He then repeats using the two skills just to make sure that she's really dead. And by then, the entire town wants them both gone.
  • That quick Running Gag incident where some townsfolk and Rista keep on mentioning that Jamie's fruit stand is on fire... Seiya is the one at fault but acts as if he didn't do something bad.
    • And then following it near the end is the scene where Nina now has a new unfortunate nickname for Seiya, just because he burned the whole town.

    Ep 3: This Hero is Too Self-Serving 
  • Rista getting envious of another Goddess's G-cups.
  • Seiya's training with a battle god. A few days after his introduction, said god is hiding behind seaweed and gets sick of holding a sword. By the end of the training...Seiya is just beating him up, wanting to get 100 times stronger then him (despite being 3 times already).
  • Seiya uses holy water to reveal that a priest was actually an undead. His reason: he would have become one eventually. Then he blows up the church (only once this time.)
    • Then Seiya pours more holy water on the new party members, the unconscious nun, and Ristarte the Goddess of Healing.

    Ep 4: I So Don't Need Any Allies 
  • Seiya flies so fast that Rista has trouble catching up to him. And when she catches up to him, Seiya flies much faster that more of her feathers fall out. Even when he finally stops, Seiya just decides that he'll take her with him, which leads Rista to imagine stuff... only for Seiya to abruptly fly them forward at max speed, leaving her flailing like a ragdoll.
    • And then if that weren't enough, the force is so great that Rista's breasts come completely free of her dress (censored, obviously), and she struggles to tell him to slow down because she's completely hanging out right now!
  • Despite all the vileness throughout this episode, having it end with the most girly-est scream ever, in the subbed version, makes it worth watching.

    Ep 5: This Goddess is Too Spooky 
  • The god of battle from last time has taken up baking. And Seiya refuses to accept his cake.
  • A goddess of war's transformation from a dreary shut-in to a bright and cheery girl just from training Seiya. And her even quicker transformation to a yandere when Seiya refuses her and her cake.
  • Seiya's new power is an automatic phoenix who attacks any nearby monsters, killing those under lvl 30. The Black Comedy comes from when Elulu trying to shoot a fire arrow, only for the phoenix to show complete disrespect and slap it away.

    Ep 6: The Great Dragon Mother is Too Sneaky 
  • Every time a dragonkin guard tries to grab Elulu, Seiya knocks them off the cliff, causing them all to land on each other in a stack.
  • Despite how serious the situation is, the incredibly betrayed look the dragonkin children have when Seiya admits he threw up the cookies they made for him.
  • When Seiya eats several speed seeds at once, he looks like a hamster while chewing them.

    Ep 7: This Lady Knight is Too Doglike 
  • Seiya casually slapping Rosalie not once, not twice, but six times, each time after she attempts to do the same to him first. It gets particularly entertaining once Rosalie gets so angry and violent Seiya warns the group not to get too close or she'll bite them.
  • Only in anime could a line like this exist;
    Seiya: Bring me the god of Patriot surface-to-air Missiles!
  • Rista decides to check out Adenela in her room, only to find a wall full of "Kill" scribbles. Her terrorized facial expressions here are already a goldmine, but then she looks at the wall when Adenela sneaked up, and Rista states that she likes "the decor"!
  • When Seiya calms down an enraged Yandere Adenela via a simple headpat, the next scene is beautifully drawn to evoke how a Bishounen manga is drawn. Then there's an Art Shift of Adenela turning into a chibi after her love for Seiya is reignited.
    • Rista is shocked, horrified, and just plain confused at how "headpats from a handsome hero" allowed Seiya to defuse the situation like it was nothing. And while he said something harsh to boot!

    Ep 8: Neat and Tidy but Overly Nymphomaniacal 
  • The entire scene of Seiya's final "training" session with Mitis:
    • Ristarte's, Elulu's and Mash's surprised and perverted reactions while Ariadoa narrates how dangerous it would be for male heroes to enter the territory of Mitis, who is a perverted masochistic goddess.
    • Then when Rista is running towards Seiya's location, she monologues that she doesn't want Seiya to be killed after having slept in a bed with a goddess. Rista's own perversion for Seiya surfaces quickly, stating that if that were to happen, she should be the one goddess to sleep with Seiya, followed by backtracking her thoughts and snapping back to reality.
    • When she arrives, Mitis is already naked tied upside-down to a tree. Seiya is just there, with his usual flat stoic face. When Mash and Elulu arrive, Mash is even shocked at what he saw, until Elulu covers his eyes.
    • The Lens Flare Censor persisting throughout the scene, covering Mitis' naughty naked bits after she broke free from the bindings. Once she's defeated, she's instead censored by a black circle.
    • When Mitis notices Mash, she attempts to lunge at him, and also utters this gem of a line:
      Mitis: Shotas turn me on too!

    Ep 9: This Reaper is Just Too Invincible 
  • Seiya causing Adenela's Art Shift again, and what's left of her when pulverized by Crossed Thanatos soon after as a distraction.
  • Seiya's appraisal of Valkyrie in the Dub;
    She may look like some post-apocalyptic S&M reject, but she's an artist at heart.

    Ep 10: This Man is Too Strong for Being So Old 
  • When Rista tries to compete against a healing herb in healing a man's wounded arms, she pours all her magic into the healing spell while having a Jojo-style Art Shift, only to lose anyways.

    Ep 11: The Truth is Too Much to Bear 
  • When Rista insults the swimwear at the clothing shop, the owner recommends her a "topless" bikini and a "single-breast" bikini in order to troll her. When the owner ends with a speedo that exposes the male crotch, Rista immediately becomes enthusiastic and buys it. The owner admits she made those bathing suits while drunk and is impressed that Rista wants to buy them, causing her to forgive the goddess and give a discount.
  • While Tiana's facial expressions aren't as extreme as Rista's, she still gets some funny expressions due to her exasperation at Seiya's recklessness and shock of going through so many close battles.
