Pretty satisfying episode for me personally. Holy shit that was a intense fight, pretty much between Ayato and Julis and the twins, and then the other part went for Kirin and Saya. What a nice combo personally.

AYATO REKT THE FUCKING TWIN Lmao I loved that, since I hated them for rekting Julis... if she was a hateable character then I would be happy but since I like her a lot in here I get mad :S

Other than that, pretty good episode. Although Ayato getting an level exceeding makes me question a lot whether he would be the over powered type MC or not. Because before this, he was pretty much Meh in power, but this time holy fucking shit man. :V

I don't think there will ever be a more OP MC than Onii Sama from Mahouka.

That punch XD
But I hear she is actually a HE?
Can't believe I didn't caught on till now, that punch is way to brutal for a girl in this series :'( and he's intimating the other twin too.



That Saya's dad backstory :'(
Her mecha suit is cool, but not enough for these guys.
Kirin with the skills.

My favorite match of the tournament has finally arrived. Glad to see Kirin going all out.

Plus if I'm not mistaken, best girl should be making her debut next week.

I was getting ready to complain about how boring the show and the characters were starting to feel but it's starting to pick back up again. Pretty good episode.

Also, the maid with cat ears sounds like Alvin the chipmunk.

Too easy as feel-good opponents. You can tell the author tried really hard to come up with these douchebag twins just so Ayato can beat them with a ton of righteousness.

Also a shame that they really didn't do a good job with Ayato this episode. To me it just feels like he heard some rather generic quotes, had a revelation, and then found the keys to unlocking his power restraint. It kinda makes very little sense that he knew how to do this first of all. The lack of much build-up leading up to this makes it seem even more abrupt and out of sorts.

Although very typical in nature, the fight wasn't entirely bad I suppose. What really mattered was the return of Claudia. Her absence was becoming quite tiresome.

> Offering hospitality to restore Ayato's vitality.

lol many think the one getting falcon punched is the twin girl, its actually the boy... i think its because of the sub? "her"


so Crunchyroll made a translation mistake?


Crunchyroll always over-translate their stuffs(add more words than normal) and sometimes translate wrongly, of course doing translation is not easy.

Anyway obviously twin boy and girl, the girl's badge cut by Ayato, then of course the remaining one is the boy which punched by Ayato.

When you see "vajnana" and "banish the spirits", you pretty much will know they are wrong already.

Not bad in conclusion for the Twins' fight. They did well to animate the unlocking of Ayato's second bind as well. The mistranslations were an annoyance, but not unforgivable.

Overall we're finally done with the volume. The next two battles should be fun to watch animated.

Loved this episode, I was thoroughly satisfied with that amazing punch on one of the twins, although they definitely deserved much more suffering. Glad to see that Ayato will be able to use his 'true power' for much longer.

The twins are not identical twins, one of them is male, the other is female.
The translations previously had it correct, they just now decided to screw it up.

Lmao ayato landing that punch on the face was so satisfying and funny , he was like "You pissed me off a little , so at least let me do this" , so op now with upgrade after braking the 2nd seal .
Also finally we see claudia and as usual she likes to tease ayato and julis , and apparently she wants to take ayato to her room and help him restore his vitality ( if you know what I mean :p )
Let's see how Saya and Kirin's fight will turn out next week .

Ayato's punch on the male twin was VERY satisfying. Easily the best part of the episode.

Overall, the whole fight was great. Poor Julis had to endure a lot, but thankfully Ayato completed his power-up and pretty much walked the rest of the battle.

Claudia offering Ayato some 'Hospitality' after the fight was funny. Julis caught onto what she meant, and thus the tug-of-war for Ayato began! XD

Seeing Saya & Kirin in action was great too. The mechas are finally being put under pressure already, so this fight should be really thrilling.

Flora, sadly, was kidnapped by some mysterious being, probably under the orders of Dirk. What is he planning with her, I wonder? Hopefully, she'll be alright...

In some Japanese sites, people said they were actually looking forward to Julis being tortured when she was tied up.
Saying something like:

"What is this, the godly looking tied-up play! good job!"
"Our face is the making that kind of sinister face"
"Li Shenyun, you are me!"
"Ohhhh, good! More! More! Rip her clothes more!
"Julius's screaming, so cute!!!"

Like that, people on the sites were actually cheering for the twins.
And even though Phoenix Festival audiences in this episode were terrified by it.

And then, they complain about how Ayato saving Julius from the torturing after getting stronger:

"Man showing off, interrupting the critical moment, so irritating"
"Damn, a little more, and Julius could have been completely naked!"
"Does Ayato wants to have sexy looking Julius all by himself?"

It kind of makes me wonder if Haruka's last participation in that illegal tournament is kind of like this?
Since the audience in the first episode in the first season were entertained by the brutal match between Haruka and the masked man.

I was mildly confused by subs...also given the history of reverse traps in series like this...you never know. But thank you for clarification.


I had the same problem. The subs on CR made it look like he was a girl. But after looking into it the other twin is a guy. Also I don't think Ayato would have punched a girl that hard. I could be wrong, but that's just me.

i actually love Ayato's sword now. I thought it was a generic laser sword that grants the user prana or whatever but then it extends and enters beast mode. It reminds me of the Peony beam katana from No More Heroes. I'm happy the twins got what hey deserved too damn.

I'm all for the Kirin Toudou hype, and again if Ayato doesn't want to root Claudia, shit son I will!

Wow this really was the best episode of the second season yet! :o
I hope the animation keeps up to this episode in further ones, this goes as well for the thrill. I wounder if Ayato and Julis will come closer in the next episodes, bc of the nearly-kiss scene last season (was it? :o)
I also have a feeling, although Kirin and Saya are really badass and could land some nice strikes on RM-C and AR-D, I feel like, maybe they manage to finish off RM-C and then AR-D (because his limiter RM-C gets defeated) will get too strong for Kirin and Saya, but thats just my theory :o
And I wonder who kidnapped Flora ..

4/5

Too bad Claudia appeared for 5 minutes only, she's the most interesting character so far (with Haruka).
I feel like Ayato was a bit too OP, I mean his strength went up from 0 to 100 quickly, beating the twins without doing anything. That was a bit boring.
And I think I'm the only one who liked the twins lol but well, their defeat was expected.
Otherwise, good episode.

Nice fights & Ayato connections to backstory detail, including sister's OP tap he did to the twingirl.
Lots of subtext...
'Banish evil spirits' nice pun when he pushed the 'ghost' twin.
Julis burned on a cross.
Ayato meditating to unleash Buddhist Vijnana. 2nd layer? ok.
Buddhist vs Taoist lol

Dirk serious lolicon face was real, Voice-Cancer abducted.
Saya & Kirin had some good dialogue for a battle harem.
That calf muscle contraction.
