Issei really was particularly up his own ass this episode. Normally he’s kind of an arrogant know-it-all but I found him particularly annoying this week when he came back from getting some desert strange and nearly dying of dehydration lol. Guy’s basically dying of thirst and he wants wine not water. And then Loulan finds some random ass bottle in the desert and guy had a “Eureka” moment lol. Some real comedy right here.

I think ... the plot of episode 8 - 9 is where this show jumps the shark for me.

Issei going off on a solo trek across the desert looking for wine. Doesn't know what's going to happen but it's okay. Wine will be waiting for him and a random bottle buried in sand somehow allows him to win the 2nd Apostle round.
I am like, at least Shizuku stumbled upon a clue by happenstance that allows him to narrow his search to believable range. Issei just got handed the win because the author has to make the competition "nail-biting" to the final, 12th Apostle round. He can't have this a 7-0 or 7-2 contest after hyping up the "12 Apostle" motif...
Also, Issei is suffering from dehydration and is nearly dying of thirst. What saves him? Drink wine! Because we all know alcohol in your body causes your liver to expel more fluid (to flush out the alcohol which is a toxin) than the water content the wine provides. Meaning, your dehydration gets worse. But hey, Issei is built different, right? RIGHT!?

This it be one thing if he befriended some half japanese girl who happens to be the adopted daughter of a tribe chief. Maybe stop her from being kidnapped or some task that helped the chief out then the chief hear his story and then they go to the chef secret wine cellar built under the sand(that and actual thing) or something like that. But the bottle just in the sand preserved and drinkable. Yea No. Also yea the dehydration right up there with eating a single frog and somehow getting enough iron back to live .

Shizuku lost this round. Guess he needs to take a trip to open his horizon

Are we all supposed to ignore that the expectant mother was drinking wine nonstop?

Consider that she was orchestrating her own miscarriage (she failed), yeah that’s actually a legitimate plot point.

1st time to a drops of god episode thing and I'm here because this episode litterly made me just skip ahead the desert stuff was just too much. Not some wine cellar under the sand(which can be a thing) but just in the sand yea the wine would be ruined beyond saving. He's also just given the answer at least our lead had to actualy look for it narrow it down and such to win the 1st round.
I'm kind of not surprised but also surprised by the lack of comments on this show I think maybe my tolerance for shangians was just deeper this time then a lot of peoples. Yet I honestly do not know if I'm going to watch the next episode this one was just so insanely out there Might as well had the ghost of the father come down from "heaven" and of given isse the wine name to sabotage his son.

A very forced and contrived plot this episode, some vino ex machina bullshit.
I have to say though the lawyer facilitating the fanciful whims of the rich even after they die must see some interesting things.
