They protrayed Walhberg like some sort of final boss character, rightfully so though because of his incredible skills. This episode was very tense with powers being displayed at such levels.

Episode also had some background storytelling. I do find it kinda refreshing they focused cast outside of Mash and the usual guys.

Not sure but taking it easy with cream puffs and idle talks when an old man is fighting with everything he has to protect those around him doesn’t quite seem like the “right” thing to do lol. Good that Ryoh arrived, and filled them in with the news, otherwise who knows, anyways, I liked how despite being the only non-magic user around, Mash was the first one to go and try to help Walhberg.

Wahlberg and Innocent zero’s fight was the highlight of this arc, and tbh they did a great job with all the backstory, magical stuff and such. I mean the nomenclature of these magical spells could be that one thing we could ignore, but not their impact, that is, something which Wahlberg used as his final final attack. Now it might not have done the magnitude of change which Walhberg was monologuing about, but we get his feelings, right?

I mean Innocent zero’s far too broken, we just need to accept that, for the time being. But hundred on hundred for Mash and his knee straight to Innocent zero’s face. This guy has impeccable timing lol.

The big fight between Wahlberg and Innocent Zero starts!

Once Necross Mance vanishes, thanks to Mash, Innocent Zero invokes 'Timez Cold', but before the spell takes effect, Wahlberg shifts the space he occupies, reemerging behind Innocent Zero. Launching 'Spaces Bout', he eradicates all space in front of him. Despite Wahlberg's anticipation, Innocent Zero evades the attack, leaving Wahlberg perplexed. Innocent Zero retaliates with 'Timez Rewound', targeting Wahlberg's left arm, causing it and the left side of his face to wither. With a sinister warning, Innocent Zero threatens, "Next, it'll be your legs, Wahlberg."

What a great episode for Wahlberg. He's proven himself way beyond just being "not-Dumbledore." Despite his troubled past, it seems he'll survive the latest ordeal. This show, even though it's a comedy, follows a pretty typical action storyline. Good news though - Wahlberg lives. Let's hope they don't kill off any more old mentors to push the younger characters. Maybe they could try something different, like having the older folks guide the next gen while dealing with their own struggles. Honestly, I'm not too invested in whether Wahlberg lives or dies. We haven't seen much interaction between him and the main group. Still, it was a beautiful episode. A-1 Pictures did an awesome job with it. They're really going all out this season.

And in the end, it looks like Mash is the one to save the day!

Btw Mashle got much more popular in Japan because of the OP. It has also been maintaining its position as the most listened-to anime OP since the start of the season (180M listens on Spotify holy-).

Oh damn, this is the first Thirds spell we've seen, right?
Mash let's gooo! I won't be surprised if he wins against Innocent Zero's time controlling magic by moving faster than light or something lol

Mash with the absolute clutch save to end the episode! Mash saved Walhburg from being killed by Innocent Zero at the perfect time. I almost got teary eyed watching Mash hit Innocent Zero in the face protecting Walhburg. Mash even though his demeanor hasn't changed he himself has changed since Walhburg asked him about facing an opponent who's stronger. Just hit them in the face and beat them to a pulp, sounds good to me I agree with Mash. Walhburg can't die here like this against a slime ball like Innocent Zero. We got more of Walhburg backstory how he was as a child and meeting Adam for the first time. Coaxing him to join his school despite how weak Walhburg was as a child, showing that even those perceived as weak an become strong too with the right guidance. Walhburg did his best to hold off Innocent Zero but that time magic is not easily defeated. Even with his space magic Walhburg couldn't do it alone, the other divine visionaries along with Dot and Lance helped hold off the other enemies and fodder. Walhburg being saved by Mash was the ultimate culmination to this point.

It's dumb that Head master couldn't even land one hit and Mash just did it in his first try

I had a feeling that Mash was going to pop out of nowhere to save Wahlberg although I'm not sure how he's flying and they didn't show his feet so I think it involves something creative/silly. Regarding Adam Jobs recruiting Wahlberg when he was a child I'm thinking he must've noticed potential within Wahlberg to go out of his way so much.

Must had been quite the distance to take two whole ep's to get here. Still the situation now is far better. Being rooted in one spot due to the infiltrator sure was annoying though. Living to protect those less fortunate than you is a most noble goal. And a world that has both kindness and equality in it would be an excellent evolution for this world as well. As ever Mash picks the most optimal of times to intervene. Now lets see how this is turned around because innocent zero sure is making this battle drawn out.

We knew the possible death flag was coming for Wahlberg, but Mashle comes out of nowhere and delivers a vicious knee strike to Innocent Zero. I'm sure there is going to be some kind of wacky explanation of how Mashle was able to get in the air by using his legs somehow.

@Nachiappan I mean that logic doesn't really apply. I mean it's true that Mash has the power of ''unlimites scaling'' it seems (like OPM) but this was pretty much the power of surprise.

And well being able to stop magic doesn't stop ya from getting punched per se

Guys, why are the episodes only 5 minutos? It runs so fast!

Okay, I must say that I cried the whole episode, all the history involving Innocent Zero and Wahlberg got me in the heart,
.

People are asking how Mash was floating, don't you guys watched the first season? Kicking his legs very quickly in the air makes him levitate.

I'm very excited for the next episode, I couldn't even think about how awesome it'll be! See you guys, xoxo.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines

OMG Whalberg, what a fight. I kind of understand how he felt as a kid. Mash shows up at just the right time, though Idk how he's flying. Quadriceps magic? I don't think anyone is going to hate mash after this, hell, as this series went on I learned to love the music magic person even if they are super weird. Good people come in all types and Sensei Whalberg has definitely worked hard to cultivate a good class of students.

Whats up with the 4th wall breaking this ep? They really leaned into it.

In this fight we have Za Hando vs the World. "I carved out space where time was stopped" is such a Jojo sentence.

I was not ready for Wahlberg crying. This got me.

This show is really so hype right now. Even with stuff like Solo Leveling airing at the same time Im looking forward to this the most (after a certain magical girl show). I did not even like S1 that much, but this season is just so damn strong!

Innocent Zero still has his own thirds right?

Oh yeah his seiyu is nearly 60 IIRC, japanese voice actors are something else.

PS: They are mid air, how is Mash flying? Is he doing the move with his legs like in S1? That would be so hillarious in this situation.

Walhberg and his Third almost caught Innocent Zero into the dust.

Alas the fate is cruel. So let Mash destroyed his own father because that's the whole point of this series.

Not to mention that tsukkomi hits hard at the sky, even though i don't get how in general comedy seems not working at all at this moment.

Alright then, let's see next!

Noblesse Oblige, the ideology Wahlberg learned from his master Adam since he was young, shaped him into one of the most powerful sorcerers who uses his strength to help the weak.

The battle between Innocent Zero and Wahlberg was impressive. Time Control vs. Space Control. Although Innocent Zero is on another level, that doesn't save him from receiving Mash's Muscle Spell.

By the way, how is Mash floating?"

To everyone asking why Mash is floating, I’m pretty sure Wahlberg’s space magic made like a floor or something. Wahlberg, Innocent Zero, and creepy teeth puppet dude were all just standing up there from the start. Plus Wahlberg is on his knees at one point while still floating, seems weird to be kneeling on nothing. I’d guess Mash jumped up real high, and because he was above the magic floor, he can now stand on it.

I could also be completely wrong, I guess we’ll find out next week.
