Nice! the power of friendship prevails!

The part where they were caught in the net was really funny. Those quick doges and whacking the monster in the head xD

Cool Fuu is the healer! She really reminds me of Shamal from Lyrical Nanoha; green clothes, "wind" healing magic.

I really liked Umi's attack. The dragon thing was pretty cool! Thanks to her determination, she was able to save Hikaru from being killed by the black-clad middle-aged woman!

Okay, don't judge me, but that ending part where Fuu learns healing magic... it made me tear up a bit. Can't really say why, maybe it was the music and the gorgeous retro art combined... I dunno, I just got really emotional there for a second. :')

By definition, everything is retro since by the time you realize something has happened it's already in the past.

I think it's a bit early to be pulling the nakama card, but it was okay I guess.

It was nice that Umi and Fuu got their magic. With the amount of combat that seems to be the norm in this series, it's probably for the best so Hikaru doesn't end up eclipsing them too much.

It looks like they'll finally get to the spring in the next episode.

I'm really enjoying this show. Umi's attack was cool and so was Fuu's healing power. That sorceress probably would have been even angrier is she had heard them calling her middle-aged. I can't bring myself to hate the "power of friendship" trope. It makes me feel too warm and fuzzy for me not to like it.

No i will not scream at you for being a straight, white, cis, male.
I have important things to scream about and a finite amount of time in the day.
Feel free to talk to me, I only bite if you ask nicely :D

I think this episode just solidified the trio's friendship. Hikaru's magic power increased when Umi was wounded by the middle aged woman. Umi ended up learning how to use magic to help Hikaru in her fight and Fuu learned magic to heal Umi.

A good and heartwarming ending for this episode! Let's see what else is in store for the heroes of Cephiro!

Finally, everyone has access to their magic. I'm hoping they all learn some really cool spells. Umi already had a water dragon, which seems a lot more impressive than flame arrows. Here's hoping that CLAMP didn't skimp on the abilities.

Lol at Fuu calling Alcione an "obaasan" all the time, nowadays we would have a character like Alcione saying "who are you calling an obaasan?"

Umi is so dramatic, she's been the best thing out this show so far unlike glasses girl that is just why are we even hanging out with you until she got the healing magic so I guess now there's a reason unless Mokona can do it too, then kick her out.

Umi and Fuu can finally use magic! Now, they're more powerful!

Take that, middle-aged woman, lol.
