| Even the Ice Faction is stirring up the heat that Julius will be Elfaria's successor, there may come a time when that will be true. It's time for Will vs. Julius, and the latter does not make it easy off the bat filling it with the same illusion magic, but it's magic that is part of Elfaria's masterpiece: El Glace Frosse, which makes him unbeatable. Despite Julius being self-taught on Albis Vina, it's Elfie's magic that Will is inherently knowledgeable of from head to toe, and all that she desires is a lone sword, which meant that Will is her only successor. The facade of Julius having to hold on his own despite without his Squad members, it shows the difference of Will trusting his gut because of his childhood memories with her, it's their unbreakable bond that serves as the no-talent's motivation to deal Julius his due. But welp, Wignall just stood for time and won without having to do anything at all. Elfie clearly has Will written all over her face, but despite his loss, he's able to make an impression towards everyone, like it or not. Action-heavy intense episodes, produced masterfully. |

| Will is too Gary Stu and Julius too hammy an opponent for me to take true delight in this. Wistoria really doesn't have much going for it if you take away the quality animation. |

Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| We all knew this was how would go down, as Will definitely knew and could match all of Elfie's spells, but absolutely love the devastation. Julius was so cocky to use the magic of a 2 year old and couldn't even get close to the amount she had as child to love torment Will (10 clones). Hope we see Julius's apology, maybe dwarves will accept that punch he received, but I hope Will expects more. This society is so weird, but at least Elfie wants his sword to her wand, though hoping for a little more spice between the factions than that. I knew someone would come along and take the crown, but I still love that, as he came out of nowhere with his whole crew LOL Will got his objective though and likely his whole time got scouters on them (Will for obvious reasons, Sion for showing exceptional talent, Colette also for energizing with Will (it was her sword/gauntlet too) as well as great talent.) 4/5, I get they were orphans, but still off-putting that they are technically step-siblings... Serfort... The realization of how pathetic Julius was chef's kiss |

Guess this confirms that Rosti is indeed Elfie's clone lol
| @MadLadOfCulture yoooooooo, I was wondering about Rosti's reaction, and that makes so much sense!!!!!! It matches Elfie's reaction. This makes so much sense... DAMN SHE'S BEEN LIVING WITH HIM?! On the bright side, if this gets confirmed, that means Rosti won't get hurt by Will not loving him back in the same way he clearly does <3 |

| This ending with the punch in the face was really good, but now I want to see him being at least respected at school, please, right author |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
| Will is such an asspull character. Unlimited stamina, super speed, super strength. How did he get out of that triangle prison which got hit by a massive block of ice to begin with. Physics are irrelevant it seems. Animation went WILD, but plot and characters are MID at best. Retarded and arrogant villains who are retarded and arrogant in order for the viewers to feel joy when the MC inevitably humiliates them. BTW is Colette aware of the fact she has ZERO chance with Will? It's honestly sad. |
| Sheeesh, i rlly like this eps, it's was so epic to see Will with his abilty and agilty to fight magician and show to everyone that he was strong even without magic and i rlly like the girl in this Anime, Elfie is cute, Collete is the Best Girl, and Iris kinda good person tho |
 |
| another riskless, OP MC, overprotect all the MCs anime but carried by PEAK art/animation lol |

Zakatsuki_ said: Am i the only one who is disturbed by the OVERPOWERED MC who wins against everyone even his teacher? Tbf, that dark teacher is handicapping himself by only using 1 offensive and 1 defensive spell. Who knows what happens if he's serious. |
 |
| satisfying to see julius the arrogant idiot get his ass kick and being smack talked by will. i approve to his face getting the punch. he deserves it soooo much. wignal taking the crown without lifting a damn finger in the end there, ofc lmao sarissa's "i'm so fucking done" face is priceless while eflie is being cute in her embarrassment. |
 |
| Definitely dumb to see Julius trying to fight him using his beloved’s skill that was developed when she was two, lmao. Not going to lie, that made me laugh harder than it should have. Playing the Op twice though, hmm. Minor detail but the uncanny resemblance to Black Clover is plain obvious. I’m not saying that’s necessarily a bad thing here, but it didn’t bring anything new to the plate. Driving the blade through one of Julius’s clone head while staring deep at the original’s eyes’ was pretty darn cool though. Elfaria-sama trying to defend her decision of using 10 clones like that was hilarious. I wonder how she’ll be reacting to Collete’s date next episode… |

| This episode had some amazing pieces of animation! |
| That punch was well deserved but Julius deserved way more than that. |
| Julius' crash out was glorious. Elfie best girl no doubt but...  |
 |
| Much better episode than the last, which belongs in a dustbin somewhere. It was kind of predictable that he wouldn't get the crown but that doesn't mean he didn't make waves. Still there were moments when he easily could have grabbed it. The animation was good too. |

Elfie best girl no doubt but...
| @Kamquat420 Good point but Elfie could make at least 10 of her. So it's one Colette or an army of Elfie's? or both and more probably. I can easily see this anime go down the harem route if it wanted too with how many people are interested Will. |
| Why is it this anime has good animation but the lip sync feels off? |
| Ice dude was cartoon levels of delusional with all his maniacal laughter. The story feels like it's mostly deteriorating with the insane levels people want to go to pick on some dude just because he doesn't use magic. Pretty sure even in a world of magic, being that insanely strong would immediately get recognized. |
| Well, let's just say that this result was ultra-predictable, but frankly, it's exactly what I was imagining for the end, since he'd explained his plan and, basically, he wasn't planning to go for the crown. He'd gone straight for the other prick first. |
| Of course all the hard work that Will did was for nothing in the end. The writers made the mistake of making it that grabbing the crown meant you won, so a green hair nobody gets to grab it after being a coward in the shadows. What waste of an episode. |

Reply to neverenoughanime
The swordplay reminded me of Warframe, which was a good thing, but I still thought the fight was kinda meh. They didn't even trade blows, it was just Julius using copied, second-rate magic against a guy that grew up seeing it invented. And passing it off as a two-year-old inventing it is just silly. At least young characters that powerful that young are reincarnated heroes or demon lords. They may as well have had her walking 5 weeks after being born.
| @neverenoughanime Hold on, Julius was not a fighter, he is just a magic user that was copying another's spell at the lowest level of it, no where near the originator of the spell. Will is a fighter and stronger than any of the people there, it is not surprising his punch knocked him out. |

The ability of Julius didn't really make sense to be honest.
He said he could only "control 4 clone alone". Except, there were never more than 4 clone (until he created 8).
At the beginning, he had 4 clone, one exploded and 3 were used to "create the barrier".
At 08:00 you can clearly see there is no clone left.
He launched an attack and say "it's over", create four clone at 08:29 for no reason except showing off.
At 10:21, Will knocked out the 2 other guys, and two clone break down out of 4.
So, it doesn't really make sense, he would have needed the use of 2 other guys to create clone when he was just showing off.
At 13:01 ice guy said "I can only control four doubles at a time right now". HE NEVER USED MORE THAN 4 CLONE at this point...
Also, if this clone are so hard to control, how come in prior episode, he was able to send his clone at different location to attack other teams ?
In any case, I didn't like this combat at all, because there was no reason to have Will :
Get caught in an explosion of Ice and then break it because why not, (without any significant injuries),
Get caught in a barrier which he can't break and then a very strong attack and he just get out of the ice with no injuries,
Let's be real, there is no way, Will should have won this fight if he was caught twice, and if he was stupid enough to stay ten seconds without moving when they used a smoke screen,
Also, I really hate when people use "elemental magic" like Ice, but there is never a single different significant impact from the Ice, like getting colder, getting stick to the ice, having frostbite... I know, in fairy tail, element are also just glorified magic attack where no one care about the element, but, if for once, someone could actually use an element which feels like an actual element...
I also don't like the author decide all of sudden than "ok, I let my MC get shot three times in a row, with no significant impact, now, I'm just gonna make him invicible".
You know, if someone were actually breaking a fricking ice just in front of him, he would get hit by some ice,
or
why not freeze all the ice one the ground so he lose his mobility,
or
why not use some sort of blizzard all the time so he lose his vision,
or
when you realize you're about to loose, why not just try to grab the crown.
Honestly, I can't believe this is the same author as DanMachi. But then again... I always wondered why in DanMachi there were so little magical ability. I'm starting to understand, it's because the author doesn't know how to make elemental magic interesting.
I repeat.
In a normal fight, considering the start of the match, Will had 0 chance of winning until the author decided to say "let's go".
But then again, an author who creates 8 clone without any significant drawback.... Even Dragon Ball, 30 years ago, when Ten Shin Han used 3 clones said his power was divided between the 4 people. Also, the last time I checked, controlling several clone is supposed to be so complicated, in "I'm a spider so what" she had to get a skill just to be able to control one clone (if I remember correctly). There is no way this dude could have mastered controlling 8 clone... in term of magic/mental abilities, it's not possible he could have achieved that in total secret.

| @Rukodaime91 "0 Chance of wining" that is not true when you consider previous epodes. You are asking questions about the magic cast or not cast, but aren't you assuming someone created that type of spell? They can only do spells they know about from other magic users. Wil's durability as a fighter, someone who works out his body, and seems to have a resistance to physical attacks, would not that not explain why he could take some hits without being taken down. And he wasn't not moving, he was trying to read their movements, it would be good to follow the anime. |

| Sakuga was lit. Other than that, this was so anticlimactic. They really thought they were Black Clover with the OP playing xD |
 |
| to no surprise to anyone Will won! maybe if the guy was a little bit better at hiding how big of a evil asshole he was he might of been able to avoid Will but by whatever means nothing was able to work on Will anymore like the crazy ice spell that trapped him the first time? don't question it he just got out of it because hes the MC all he needs is a basic ass unbreakable sword that has no special powers unless Colette is secretly one the most powerful conjurer granting such a OP sword for will episode only actually looked really good for that one shot scene |
 |
This episode was stunning!! Ahh I love this series! <3 the black swordsman too |
| Almost a good ending, but ofc they decide to end it with a cliche and the people he's destroyed aren't learning their lessons, and so now this anime is coming close to drop fodder for me |
 |
| Amazing fight. Elfie is also hella adorable. Issue still remains that there's no tension with how OP he is. Granted this fight he had the advantage of know Elfie's magic so being able to win conditionally that way is very interesting. But how did he survive the big ice meteor smash one? They never explained how he survived that one |
