He was in no way introduced incorrectly. You are simply not supposed to know the full extent of what happened yet. The scene gets expanded upon later.

Not that I've played it, but when they described the match format I immediately thought of that Black Clover game.

So the guy with the spiky teeth finally shows up. He's managed to fool just about everyone apparently, though I suspect the wizard king knows who he really is.

I'm kinda confused by something. This is a test to pick out the best magic knights for this raid on the midnight sun guys right? So why does it seem like such a small amount of magic knights are participating? Shouldn't everyone compete so we can actually get the best. Idk I'm really tired right now and maybe am forgetting something about the specifics of this tournament thing.

New character looks like a Notorious Villaneous Badass person!
So this is the three man team that Asta belong along with Mimosa & Xerx Lugner!
Let's see how the tournament arc goes!
4/5.

It looks like the wizard king recognizes the masked guy, so I'm guessing that he isn't a threat then. But he looks so villainous, it's hard to imagine that he's on the good guy's side.

- "Xerx" doesn't bother messing with the old woman, a commoner

It looks like he was helping her. He said so to Wizard King, she was sitting behind him in the middle of the street from the beginning of the scene and his opponents said that he was obstructing public duties.

The old woman was in trouble of some kind before he intervened. Maybe it was something trivial and he just used it as pretext.


It seemed to me that the beginning of the first encounter of this episode was incomplete so I looked it up on the wikifandom.

"Outwardly Xerx appears virtuous and saintly and will not stand for his squad to be insulted. In truth, he is cold and abusive and a corrupt Magic Knight, as shown when he refuses to release the granddaughter of an old lady and instead offers to end the woman's suffering by killing her.

Xerx is stationed along the Clover Kingdom's border. When he and his subordinate return for the Royal Knights Selection Exam, they are approached by a woman looking for her granddaughter, but Xerx refuses and offers to kill the woman instead. Afterwards they are impeded by Zora Ideale, who witnessed the exchange. The rogue insults the vice-captain, so Xerx attacks Zora with Ice Magic. Zora defeats Xerx and removes his squad robe.

Later at the exam, Xerx is teamed up with Mimosa Vermillion and Asta, but Zora arrives and takes the spot, claiming to be Xerx."

So yeah the first part was cut out for some reason or at least it was on VRV.

The new character with the sharp teeth from the OP and ED has finally appeared. Seems like he's just some powerful dude who wanted to have fun. This guy literally just took Xerx's robe (Purple Orca's vice captain) and announces himself as the vice-captain, Xerx himself. What a madlad!

Finral's new hairstyle looking wilder than before.

The Royal Knights recruitment is in the form of MOBA-style tournament or domination-style tournament, I'm keen on seeing all these new powers these characters have!

Lol, little sweet Charmy got a VVIP seat which is on Julius' lap! That's amusing.

So the new guy from the ED is finally here, and:

  • He probably has a sad backstory based on the ED
  • He's voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch
  • He stole that guy's identity to get into the tournament
  • He made a grand entrance in perfect Lelouch style

I love him omg

Also Finral's new hairstyle is weird. A blowout and frosted tips I can't help but laugh at it at first impression

Being able to defeat a vice captain that easily though was quite impressive. It was pretty cute seeing Mimosa's frustration at being left out of the loop during the hot springs talk. The trials sure ended up bringing out some rather unique characters though. Not to mention create some interesting team comps. The upcoming matches sure look to be quite interesting though.

So they make a tournament to decide who are the strongest to be in the royal knight thing but it’s not the strongest who are participating in the tournament... Why not I guess

I like the group pairings for this tournament, especially since they are setting up so many matches that really matter. I’m digging Finral’s new hairstyle and the new guy can’t be all that bad because it looked like he was defending that old lady.

OMG it's Johnny Yong Bosch. "Xerx" is already an interesting character. I like how the wizard king decided to play along. I'm assuming that he knows Xerx's true identity whoever he is.

Finral's haircut really does feel a little tacky...

I'm hyped to see this tournament arc!

They're gathering for the exams this is going to be hype, Mimosa getting all embarrassed when she's close with Asta, Finral has a new hairstyle as well with Vanessa's "razor" more like a tazer didn't know she can cut hair

This build-up episode really gets me going I'm sure of it there's more on the battlefield already when they fight off, So that mysterious guy took Xerx identity kind of a boast personality he has

First up is Asta and his team along with Mimosa and that weird dude.


(P.C. Mimosa can't handle the hot springs she's imagining those scenes where they wash each other lol)

Team competition.

Dat ending.

Another Shonen. Another tournament. I want to see Mimosa in a onsen. So happy Asta and Mimosa are teamed up together. Thank you Tabata for giving us a taste of the future ship. Midorikawa is voicing the mysterious character. Let's go!!

The redhead guy from the ending finally makes his appearance, curious to see who he actually is. Finral's hairstyle despite making him look douchy actually fits his personality well.

Wow fake Xerx Lugner shark-teeth guy is so hot. Asta whining to Julius that he doesn’t want to be on the same team as him was so funny lollll. I can’t believe Yuno thinks of Noelle as the girl who always nags at Asta LOL?!!!!??! And wow, Luck & Klaus, Klaus is going to be driven insane

So the OP visuals are about the tournament. I’m really looking forward to Finral & Langris fight too. I hope Finral’s development will be as good as Vanessa’s

And lol!!!!! Charmy sitting on Julius lap in the preview that’s so cute.







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
