Well they shook off their pursuer and Yoshino used his magic.
Looks like next week will be back story.

Mahiro really knows how to fight he'll give any opponent a run for their money and Yashino is the brains of the two. The teleportation animation for this anime always reminds me of final fantasy versus trailer, for those you haven't seen the game trailer by now check it out.

Anyways they could make this into a game lol run out of rings and you can no longer teleport or heal to replenish you need offerings lol I can see it now


I was thinking the same thing lol I could so imagine it to be like a video game.

Pretty nice fight and chase scenes.

Maybe Aika was once a part of the clan? She does seem similar to Hakaze.

It's very interesting to have someone like Mahiro as one of the main heroes. Refreshing, one could say.

At least someone was thinking logically.

The fight scenes are very well done, probably one of the best I've seen in awhile. They finally went in depth about the magic as well, which was really awesome! :)

Ahh snickers.

This was a quite interesting episode too. Mahiro grows more interesting to me as time goes by~ He was very cute when he was running a fever too.

I'm glad that Yoshino can fight, seems like he's the brains between those two. . . Not saying Mahiro lacks the brains, he's just too indulged in his revenge and quite. . . reckless.

I feel like Aika herself was somehow involved . . . I mean it most likely isn't the case, but I get the feeling she lead a secret life that neither Yoshino nor Mahiro knew about . . . Or his parents were part of the clan, that would make sense (aside from his last name).

Action packed episode. I found it really cool that Yoshino was able to track Mahiro using the pixels of the healing process. He would have had to be running really fast. Aika is becoming more and more of a mystery, who knows what she was getting herself into to get such a horrific, though aesthetically profound death.

so the killer was from that clan huh? maybe it was that Samon dude? I'll be damned if Aika was actually a member of that clan and she just committed suicide because Samon is gonna use her for that tree or something. I need to prepare myself for possible plot twists

That lyric of that song the children were singing was creepy. And those metallic human too...

Mahiro may be damn obscessed about a lot of thing, he sure got some surhuman reflexes. Damn, the way he was fighting hand-to-hand a guy with a fucking spear was damn awesome. And Yoshino plan was just too perfect, the timing was almost unbelievable.

Yeah this show is really giving me the theater/play vibe which i guess is what they intended for using all these lines from actually plays. Like the music, the contrasting morals, a strong desire? I mean like how Yoshino is calm, kind, and actually may have wanted to bring Aika back to life while Mahiro is wild, arrogant, and has a thirst for revenge but he accepts that Aika is dead. I find that how they have such a strong bond despite all these contrasts is really beautiful.

Mahiro is so brash and bull-headed, it's obnoxious. Thank goodness Yoshino is accompanying him now, being the brains and level-headed voice of reason. He could never survive by himself.

I'm guessing Samon is Aika's killer right? I'll be pleased if he isn't.

Actually, Aika seemed pretty cunning. Probably got involved with the wrong people some how.

I'm sensing an atheist/theist dynamic going on; with Mahiro being an atheist and Yoshino being a theist.

How the hell is a human basically flying and moving at superspeed within the logic of the world? And resurrection isn't? Of course the writer had to draw a line somewhere but I can't understand the reasoning behind a human moving at such a speed you seem to disappear, or surviving a fall from a building being in the logic of the world. Can anyone maybe explain?

What interesting about this show is the OP and ED song than plot, LOL.

It is a good thing that Yoshino followed blood to find out where Mahiro is.

The first encounter with an mage ends with a draw even though mahiro was only using his talismans but admittedly he became support from yoshino who on the other hand is quite perceptive in a fight even hakaze acknowledges this. The sister's been shown too - she was a really caring person so it seems.

The fight scenes were amazing! Magic needs to follow the rules of logic. Now, it makes more sense why Mahiro didn't ask for her sister's resurrection.

So, Aika's killer is someone from the Hakaze's clan.

yeahh Im dropping this here. It would e interesting if this anime focused on the black metal syndrome for its main plot, but that seems like more of a background thing as opposed t some female mage trying to kill the main char and a guy trying to avenger his sister not reallly my cup of tea

Looks like Mahiro is the most affected by Aika's death, but you can see Yoshino was far more affected, to a point where he thinks about resurrection even after 1 year, he just did'nt show it like Mahiro

Hmm, Natsumura wasn't even fighting seriously. If he is that powerful, he could've killed them long ago. I have a feeling he's gonna be an ally down the line.

I'm really curious why Aika was murdered. Hopefully, she'll be resurrected. I wanna see her more often!

I was holding myself back from saying this, but Mahiro is a stupid stupid dude. If his top priority is to find and kill Aika's killer then what was he doing fighting some random bad guy, to the point where he was literally going to end up dead if Yoshino didn't make his timely appearance.

By the way, their opponent wasn't really a bad guy, or atleast I felt so from watching him. Though now that we know the killer is actually from Kusaribe clan, I wonder what kind of deeds Aika was involved in when she was actually alive which led things here.

So a Kusakibe killed Aika, but since Hakaze didn't mention who it was specifically, I guess they went undetected and only left a calling card.

And maybe Yoshino isn't that bad after all. He at least gave Mahiro a Snickers.

Since they both seem to be heading into a rural and forested area now, Natsumara can't use virtually everything around him as an offering anymore.
