Wow Tatsuya actually kinda opened up and showed some kind of emotion. It was funny seeing how Saegusa is usually calm and collected and now she's all embarrassed and flustered lol. That Western spy got killed in like 10 seconds even though he was so "skilled".


Power in this show isn't linear, because of the combination of genetics and magic, it is exponential in nature.

Marshall obviously wasn't a first tier agent, which is why he was assigned to tail high school students, Tiger guy obviously IS a first tier agent, making him 10 or even 100 times more powerful; on the flip side, Marshall is probably 10 to 100 times more powerful than normal humans through genetic manipulation.

That is the nature of this world. Look at Leo, genetically modified and possessing magic, but still a "weed" at high school. The slopes of the power pyramid and steep and unforgiving.

Gotta let his underlings have the spotlight once in a while. I mean, otherwise it'd be pretty boring to watch Tatsuya curbstomp everything. OH WAIT

Who exposes their trump card at the start?

Tatsuya already knows where his enemies are from (he figured that out when Miki confirmed that it wasn't Japanese Taoism, that just leaves one other country), now he needs to know who they sent.

One of the reasons why Tatsuya is so "almighty" so far is that no one knows who he is, and he gets the drop on people. If he lost that advantage he would already have been dead twice. In episode 2, with the terrorist leader, at the 9SC, and most importantly when he got sniped, had his opponents knew more about who he was, he could have very easily have lost. But since he is a no name, low ranked student, they keep underestimating him.

So are you starting to enjoy the series?See we told you it'll get better and interesting and that Enrollment really sucked :)

For the ep they did just have to cut Mayumi's dialogue when she said if Tatusya would do something to her if they were alone like in a hotel and he answered with a double meaning but he meant dining in the hotel with her and not dining her (or was the translation changed to be more PG sounding :)

I have been on board since 14 or so and have been defending the show since then.

As I said back then, while I thought the start was weak, I stayed around because I had faith that people like you who could admit that a show they liked did have weaknesses were trustworthy advisers. Thank you for confirming my judgement :-)

That would be more in keeping with Tatsuya's character, but it worked either way. Poor Mayumi, she has liked Tatsuya since the first episode, but he never quite gets it.

If I was into shipping, I really would hope that she ends up with him. She has the same courage as a princess (heir to one of the ten clans) falling in love with the stable boy (since she liked him upon first sight).

It's get better in the Visitor's arc,so I recommend reading the LN (vol 9-11) after the anime ends,and vol 8 is still a favorite as it fleshes out the sibling's more and the Yotsuba twins (Maya and Miya) and had more heart story wise in my opinion than before.

Mayumi??Miyuki and Honoka are the best girls :) We need more shipping wars like the other LN adapted "harem" anime's,it's fun reading.

Have to disagree. Mayumi won in episode 2 when she wanted to find some way to get Tatsuya into a student council position and then jumped all over the discipline committee chair coming up with the idea. Honoka is cute, but Mayumi wins on the tries.

Though I do have to hand it to the author. He has created an interesting harem series without quite making it a harem series. That is LN gold. (he also created an incest series without the incest, so he doubled up on the action).

But Honoka aside from being cute,is the most aggressive of the girls,if they just adapted vol 5.And she has one of the largest boobs,so that counts for something right? :)

And all the girls are likable (I do like Miyuki) and it's rare,because I do tend to dislike 1 or 2 girls from such series especially the violent tsundere one's or like the princess (later queen in ZnT even though she isn't a tsundere) for some reason,but here I like them all :)

@Takuhan If you like Mayumi that much you should try to read the LN, The anime skipped a lot of Mayumi scenes with Tatsuya which are as entertaining or even more than the one adapted in this episode.

The most aggressive would be Miyuki, at home. Honoka can't do anything without a little push.

Mayumi wants ''something'' from Tatsuya : >

The teasing part was different from the original source though.
Tatsuya said the i will partake part normally without any intent of teasing. Mayumi then misunderstand Tatsuya's words. Then Tatsuya realized the double meaning of what he just said to Mayumi. Despite the embarassing event Mayumi still stayed with Tatsuya in the room.

I don't know if it's accurate since it has been a long time. I know this is something trivial. Just sayin, maybe some of you want to know.

I think the original was funnier though, not that it matters : >

Episode was ok i guess.


Yeah they cut out the line from Mayumi,if they were alone in a hotel.

Want to see Tatsuya kicking some bad guy's asses or other arrogant student's butts next episode. Those kind of stuff make me feel good on the inside. The man eating tiger. Oh boy. Hopefully Tatsuya will beat him real good too. Oh and that class rep girl being teased by Tatsuya. OP. Kuroenko's voice is too kawaii. Anyways, nice episode. 5/5.

Well hopefully the Yokohama Arc is an improvement over the previous arcs otherwise I might as well give just give up.

As for the Mayumi Shipping I really don't care, not to mention I'm pretty sure there will be a few fan boys masturbating over this scene/pairing.

Well another surprise I haven't heard from Miyuki throughout this entire episode I wonder where did that Bro-Con loving Parrot go? I'll just refer to the LN then.

Another surprise!!! Tatsuya's friends (if you can even call them that) being useful well up until the point when he pulled out the gun, but still, it's about time that the supporting characters get the attention/development that they need and deserve. I know that this will be short lived but I might as well savor it while it last.

This episode is more like the calm before the storm. Nothing major has happened and there is practically no tension whatsoever. Oh well I'm expecting everything to return back to the status quo next week. with Miyuki back on her pedestal uttering the same words "Onii Sama. Onii Sama, Onii Sama, Oni sama." Over and over again. That is when I'll know that the Mahoukaverse is back to normal.

MC is trying to bring peace by solving energy crisis, but peace is not possible while there's high scarcity of energy and basic goods, human history itself is proof of it, trying to pull pacifism in such environment by the sake of it without addressing real issues causing conflicts its not very smart move regardless of political views.

Miyuki barely appeared if at all during this episode, so it's the best episode in the entire series. It's amazing how much more bearable this show is without Miyuki hogging screen time from better characters or Tatsuya upstaging everyone.

I doubt the remaining episodes will be like this, but it doesn't hurt to be hopeful.

It's nice to see that Tatsuya does have some sense of humour teasing Mayumi like that, he's not a complete robot on all things other than his sister. Nice to see some of the rest of the group getting some serious screen time, as well. All together great episode.
