天下制覇

"And now I will throw it away so you can have it too!"

Impressions:

Wow. This arc was over quickly. At Shana’s pace, this battle could’ve lasted the entire season. It’s maintaining it’s sort of slightly above average animation too, although it’s also maintaining it’s quite a bit below-average brain power. I don’t even remember Saito even having a gun in the first place, but then he drops it against the teleporting mage to fight like a real man. First thing Joseph does? Pick up the gun. Second thing, sink a knife into Saito’s puffy jacket, which apparently part of Saito’s plan. Luckily, his jacket was puffy and as an antagonist, Joseph has to taunt instead of going for a vital organ. And then he was saved anyway by Louise detonating them before Tabitha pinned him to a wall.

Ahem, getting out of order here. Anyway, his master plan at the start was to leech Louise’s magic off her and then use it create amplified explosions with some magic balls. That was… uh… about it actually. I think a key assumption in his plan was "Nobody fights back" considering how Tifa of all people was the one who stunned the coup de grace demon with the super ultra magical ball. She got all angsty after watching Saito and Louise bicker at the end again too, which I’m sure will probably not be cured by whatever aphrodisiac Monmon’s gotten into again next week.
