天下制覇

Wait. Weren’t Touma and Orsola on a roof?

Edit: Sorry about the slightly smaller thumbnails. First post on my new laptop and I misremembered the thumbnail size.

Impressions:

A pretty disappointing end to this arc thanks to about 75% of the episode being people standing around talking. What even happened to the other nuns that got special names and weapons? They just… disappeared. Crazy earless nuns claw their way through most of the door in a matter of seconds… which gives the team almost five whole minutes to stand around and talk about the situation, none of them moving any part of their body at all except their lips. Exciting. Then we get almost ten full minutes of wrapup with Kaori and the Archibreasts. They’re slightly more animated, but Tsuchimikado wandering in and teasing them was more engaging than the remaining 9 or so minutes of nonsense.

The remaining 25% was okay, but it was mostly Red tapping her staff against things or scraping it with a knife while Touma bounced around like an abused sock puppet. I laughed when Touma’s first punch induced a flashback, but at least it was short. Watching Kugyu beat up Touma was decent enough, but the whole thing was resolved entirely too quickly and Touma in effect punching a little girl when she was helplessly staring down a giant fire golem was not exactly a blow in his favor. He never even really overcame her teleporty magic either, just dodged a single attack which so shocked everybody that they decided it was time to give up. Heck, he didn’t even try to block any of it with his Imagine Breaker despite it clearly being directional. I’m starting to think that all these women aren’t attracted to him at all, they just can’t escape his gravitational pull from being the densest thing in Academy City.

On to a completely different and far more irritating group.
