The World God Only Knows: Goddesses Arc - 3

Despite many externalities affecting his plans, Keima still looks set to conquering all the Goddesses. The only question is whether he can do this before the deadline. Oh God of Conquests, only you can possibly save this world from utter ruin, and despair! Conventionally, Keima is a man with a plan, and his plan is to 5 time the Goddesses, and conquer them in the space of 1 week! Crazy, but this is the world of anime and manga;anything is possible!

'Nice Pose!' - Can't quite remember who said that...
Kaminomi really begins to pick up the pace this episode, as Keima starts going all out. He just makes love seem so easy that I wish 'If only things were that simple'. Keima has this perpetual knack for getting everything right, be it School, Games, Girls, etc which makes him superhuman, and endearing, and above all, a Shounen Hero in his own way. Setting off to conquer 5 girls isn't without its difficulties, especially when they all remember him and suspect him of cheating on them with Kanon the whole time, something which is very difficult to disprove. Still, this is Keima we’re talking about, and though it seems he's bit off a tad more than he can chew, he’s nevertheless progressing somewhat in his plan to save Kanon.


Like in a Visual Novel, Keima plans out the routes which are going to be taken in order for his desires to come to fruition. What I found most interesting was the order, because that's something I plan in my playthroughs too so that all the options are still open (especially when you can save time, and go back to unlock another route ending). Here's the order Keima will be playing in: Tsukiyo --> Ayumi --> Chihiro -->  Shiori --> Yui. I think pictures will serve to describe these ordeals in more depth.

KASHIRAGI IS DEAD. Whaaa…whyyyy?
This wasn't part of the plan!!!
As always, it’s hugely entertaining to watch the normally cold, and somewhat over-the-top Keima constantly adapting to be a person who isn't himself, but is needed by the girls. Tsukiyo needed him to be stupid, so that she could be the smart one, and superior to him.  Of the five, Ayumi probably poses the greatest challenge, seeing as she hasn't been alone with Keima long enough (whereas the similarly angry Chihiro has at least spent some time in the music shop with him) to really change her mind about him. Tsukiyo also seems difficult, seeing as she's tsunx9001 dere.
