The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor Volume 5 Shows Jill’s Strength

When it comes to The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor, it might seem a bit off-putting for a pre-teen to be the influential heroine who will save the day. Even with ensuing volumes of the manga making clear what kind of person she is. You really need a lot of evidence through clear situations to make the case. With volume 5 of The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor, the manga provides a lot of prime examples of how important, valuable, and strong Jill is due to both her innate abilities, hard work, and knowledge of her past life. Editor’s Note: There are some spoilers for volume 5 of The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor manga below. At the very start of volume 5 of The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor, we’re already in a position where Sarasa Nagase uses the manga to highlight how capable and responsible is. Because Hadis is in hiding, Jill is in-training in disguise alongside Camila and Zeke with Princess Elentzia and her Dragon Knights. She’s setting herself up as a cadet and, because of Elentzia’s dragon attacking her, is taking advantage of the fact that it seems like she has no affinity with dragons. So from the start, we see how she’s being depended upon to gather information, assess situations, and prepare when Hadis needs to be in hiding as a result of the false Dragon Emperor’s actions. Image via Yen Press This also means we get a great example of Jill using her knowledge of the past to assist with her strategies in the future. Back in the original timeline, her fiance Prince Gerald basically spied on her throughout her school years and life via his ally, friend, and minion Lawrence Marton. Lawrence appears to be quite friendly. Jill only realized exactly what he had been capable of and doing for years after Gerald’s betrayal and her death. So now when she meets her as a Dragon Knight cadet, she immediately acts in a way that gets in the way of his plans, keeps him from sowing doubt, and allows her to perhaps mitigate some possible damage. (It’s not the only way her past helps her potential future in this volume, so keep your eyes open!) Jill’s instincts and intuition are on full display in volume 5 of The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor manga too. When observing Hadis’ siblings Elentzia and Risteard, she’s able to pretty accurately discern their character. It’s especially impressive with Risteard, since there are time when he says something or gets so worked up that it could seem villainous. But no, she assesses them as well as she did people like Hadis, Camila, Zeke, and Lawrence. Finally, we see Jill’s straight-up combat prowess. At a point in this volume, she needs to use force to get her point across. First, she knows the right time to get serious. Then, she’s good at making use of her capabilities to get things done. More importantly, she even adjusts for her own shortcomings. It’s great to see how she handles herself. I absolutely love when the story in The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor shows how practical Jill’s knowledge of her past life can be alongside her general strength and intelligence, and volume 5 of the manga includes multiple examples of how capable she is. We get a sense of her intuition when she observes a potential enemy and Hadis’ siblings. We note how dragons react to her. We see her skill with the blade. She also makes good use of what she knows happened in the previous timeline to keep history from repeating. It really showcases what a strong heroine she is. Volume 5 of The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor is available now, and Yen Press will release volume 6 of the manga on September 23, 2025. An anime is available, and it is streaming on Crunchyroll. The post The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor Volume 5 Shows Jill’s Strength appeared first on Siliconera.
