Anime News Network reviews episode 9 of Saga of Tanya the Evil II, giving it a community score of 4.4. The episode centers on Idola, a neutral country whose delusions of grandeur and poor neutrality leave it unprepared for war. The review argues Idola is a likely target for the Empire.
Episode 9 of Saga of Tanya the Evil II makes a single point: Idola is playing a dangerous game and does not know it. The neutral country sees itself as above the war devastating Europe, aiming to become peace brokers, but its ignorance of modern war leaves it exposed.
Idola's neutrality is inconsistent. It sells gas to the Empire but denies Imperial forces retreat, and it hosts Empire strike teams after they decimate the Commonwealth's navy. As Tanya warns, if you are nobody's enemy, you are also nobody's friend.
The review suggests the Empire's civilian leadership wants a victorious end with territorial gains and reparations. With other enemies war-torn or slated for independence, Idola's untouched infrastructure makes it an attractive conquest.
