This is probably the worst episode so far! It was so fast paced that even as a novel reader, I could barely keep up with what was going on. They skipped so much stuff and once again made it look like Tatsuya does everything. It was actually Miyuki who took down the crow.

Good ep even though lots of details are skipped.

We get to see Pixie or



Too bad Chiaki's big sis dialogue with Tatsuya was horribly cut
Zhou has a heart??!!He saved Chiaki from death because of the that alarm he triggered.
2 renowned CQC magicians fight (Lu and Nao)
Mari and Mayumi shows off their skills against the Man Eating tiger
Miyuki starts to strike!She would wish Onii-sama is a dense character than what he currently is :)

edit: Tatsuya's lethal attack,I don't remember that from the LN,from what I remember he just chipped off Lu's armor with Gram Demo (or I'm mistaken,any LN reader can correct me?Sorry still lazy to look it up :) )

Thanks seems to be right,but MH kinda animated it like it was ZI and that he did something to hurt Lu.


For anime-only viewers,Tatsuya didn't actually hurt Lu,he just destroyed his magic armor and the blood is from the injury he sustained before from Nao. :)

Yeah, I think that was the case. That magic doesn't fix the permanently fix a problem and needs to be recast is an important bit of information, this demonstrated that point.

Its funny though, that scene really does show the difference between reading and viewing. In the novel I really didn't get the feeling that it was that big of a deal, it helped, that Mari and Mayumi did far more damage, but in animating it the emphasis changed. Not that I blame madhouse for doing that, it was important to emphasize that point, and they only have so many minutes to do it.

It's not fair to give Tatsuya the full credit. Lu got his biggest wound during the first blundered attempt.

I'm definitely getting the feeling that the series is much better once you understand how the individual magics work. But, for sure, we'll have people thinking Tatsuya did something OP in this episode when all he did was prevent Lu's previous injury from Nao from being protected.

Tatsuya didn't do something OP,he just used Gram demo to break off his armor,Mari and Mayumi did the all damage,the blood was from Lu's battle with Nao and Mari even though MH kinda animated it differently.

@ Marzan
He did get injured fighting Nao,which is also a renowned CQC magician,who is also from the Chiba family which is known for their sword magic.

Well, Gram Demolition is in fact one of superior counter magics, even though it is overshadowed by Gram Dispersion, it's still elite magic and apart of range it doesn't have any flaws.

Those kids you're talking about are trained for combat since they were young.
And by the way, the one who did the most damage to Lu was Naotsugu, which is a soldier, and a great one at that.

???Kids using scientifically based magic,in a futuristic world and you want it to be too realistic?LN wise it has always been explained repeatedly the young generation has always been stronger than older generation.but we could blame MH for some misunderstandings,like really make Gram Demo look like it was a barrier that Lu coulnd't penetrate??

Because Lu really couldn't do anything against Gram Demolition. Without Tatsuya they would probably lose it, while he alone could eat man-eating tiger with almost no problems.

i think i didn't explain myself accurately, cause that's not exactly my concern

the show begins with a world where they use magic (u know the details probably)
kids are trained to learn how to use this magic in combat and other situations
shiba is an extraordinary mage, and because of that he is able to deal with more serious situations e.g. revolutionary investigation, police operations, etc

my real problem, is that now too many people are able to do these things and i just feel that (cause i was kind of excited with shiba's power in the beginning of the show) afterall there isn't that much that makes tatsuya special.
something like that

These "kids" were designed to be weapons, and they are constantly being "developed". Each generation is more developed than the previous generation, that is pretty much the entire premise of this show.

One of the reasons the GAA is so desperate to get their hands on magic is that because of WWIII they are about a generation behind the Japanese and the United States and they are doing what they can, fair or foul, to catch up.

Another thing that the brushed over during the 9SC series is that Tatsuya is a "strategic level magician" and there are rumored to be 50 of them in the world. Only 13 are publicly acknowledged, the rest (like Tatsuya) are treated as state secrets. So it isn't particularly surprising that he can waste the competition he has met, they are both below his level and they don't know who or what he is.

Mari isn't from the 10 clans or even the 18 families. She is more like Tatsuya, she has trained herself physically with an elite teacher (the Chiba), she has developed magic to support this training, and she has learned a few non magical tricks to round out her abilities.

Her attack this episode had a major weakness, it took a few seconds to activate it. But knowing this she distracted him by first using some sort of flash powder and then making him think her sword was her main attack.

You know, when I first read the LN, I had a theory: Satou is putting these incest scenes in either to get support for Mahouka (cause Japs luv incest) or just for the lolz. In fact, this is the only major incestous scene after Volume 5, and nothing really incestous happens after that. In fact, everything after Volume 5 ships Tatsuya with Mayumi, Honoka (or V.2) or Lina, and more character development.

Fight scenes were pretty intense and fast paced, made for a great watch. Nice to see Naotsugu and Mari in action and Mayumi a little less so and although Mari delivered the winning blow, without Tatsuya those girls would have been in trouble for sure. Things are certainly starting to kick off though, can't wait to see what happens next.

there hasn't been much in the siblings since they got that "roommate" at end of the first year of school. Lina.... would be nice if she defects from USNA for Japan, she wasn't much of a soldier.
