Good action. Lu Gonghu was at a very big disadvantage, there was no way that he would win against 3 people. Wow that scene at the end, Miyuki :O

There was no way that he could win against Tatsuya alone...


Okay let's face it if Tatsuya wasn't there Mayumi would have been slaughtered, Mari would have been crushed and Spy kun would have been killed. Thank God Tatsuya was there, oh wait just thank Tatsuya was there oops my bad.

Definitely your above average Mahouka episode but we are already halfway,still don't see the hype of Yokohama arc.

They really need to tone down the incest thing. It was a good thing I watch this alone because if I watch this with others,it will feel awkward.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

They should rename this episode "Calling out your opponent's name".

Since the start of the arc, the episodes have been focusing more on other characters' abilities, so I almost forgot how friggin OP Tatsuya is. Special ops soldier of a great alliance, downed in one shot by Tatstuya. Yeah, that feels like Mahouka.

This episode was better than the last 2 episodes.
I feel like Tastuya Shiba is the #1 overpowered anime character in 2014. Damn he's like perfect in everything.

Well, he did significant damage, since he stopped Lu's charge.

He didn't do any damage though. All he did was Gram Demo Lu's fortification magic that was protecting his injury from the previous fight. All damage that was done to Lu was done by Nao, Mari and Mayumi.

Wait, how did you know? From the LN? I guess in hindsight it makes sense, but it didn't think about it at all during the confrontation. Just "Tatsuya attacks! It's super effective!"

If you know what has happend to Lu in the first battle, than it isn't that difficult to figure out that Tatusya used demo against Lu. Grand demo has demonstrated and explained in the anime a decent amount of time already:) Erika's brother aka Nao did the real work.

Actually, I thought that Lu just bandaged himself and had some patchwork instead of fortifying the wound with magic, so the thought that Tatsuya canceled the magic didn't occur to me. If that is what you mean with demo, then I have absolutely no idea.

Dead meat? He could not pass Mari so he preferred to avoid a direct confrontation with her and attack Mayumi, he resisted Mayumi's shots at first because she has not augmented the power of her attacks, Gram Demolition destroyed the armor and he would have surely injured Mayumi but kill them I doubt it. Her next shots were impossible to block completely even for him and he was suffered oxygen deprivation due to this.Mari's last attack was a secret technique which is impossible to dodge, even Tatsuya could not dodge it. That last bit was specified in the LN so. Gram Demolition doesn't deal damage.

Well the episode did portray that Tatsuya's damage was on the same spot of were Nao hit him. So that was a hint if "demo" didn't occured in your mind when Tatusya did something. The fact that Lu was able to move as well against Nao and Mari after being hit by Nao was a hint that he used his magic to minimize the wound he got. The moment Tatsuya canceled out his magic was the moment that he wasn't able to move as well as before anymore and another few things was that he couldn't block Mayumi's ice magic anymore, like what he did before and he couldn't block Mari's sword anymore with his magic like what he did before and the reason why I was certain that Tatsuya used demo and the reason why there was no explanation. LN readers confirmed this for me.

demo = Grand demolition. I don't like to type terms that are too long:P

He attacked Mayumi, because she was easier to take down in close fight and without her aid Mari would not fight back long. Also both girls were able to pull their triumph cards, because Lu was forced to defend himself instead of attacking them by Gram Demolition. So they would lose that fight hardly, but great Oniisama saved the day again...

I really don't know what your issue is. If Tatsuya had single-handedly taken Lu down, you would have complained. Him just offering support also got you complaining. Just what did you expect him to do when people he knows were in trouble? There's just no winning with you, is there?

No that is conjecture on your part. We don't know what would have happened had Tatsuya not been there, but since he was it is not surprising that he did take part in the defense.

Mari fought knowing that she had Tatsuya behind her, Mayumi fought knowing that she had Tatsuya in front of her; so we don't know that they would have done had they not had this insurance. It was clear that both Mari and Mayumi had fought together before, and even before Tatsuya got involved Lu was already "mystified" that he was being thwarted by two young girls, and that ultimately it was Mari's combined attacks that brought Lu down w/o too much effort.

And here's another thing, we know that Mayumi has more powerful magic, she certainly didn't panic when Lu bypassed Mari, so it could have very well have been that she has an ace up her sleeve that she didn't reveal, but would have had she needed to. Knowing she had Tatsuya meant that she didn't have to use it, and in this world, keeping spells secret is a prime directive.

Of course both of our scenarios are possible, but that is the point, we don't know which, because Tatsuya was there and was able to provide support.

Onii-sama and Miyuki out on a nice walk with their motorcycle just to be disturbed by that freaking crow.

Dem hacking wars doe...

LOL, Onii-sama is cheating on Miyuki with a robot maid... SACRE MOTHERF-CKING BLEU!!!

So Chiba Naotsugu vs Lu Gonghu and the fight ended rather fast to be honest XD.

Chiaki sure was easily duped by Zhou.

Why not just let Onii-sama handle Lu Gonghu in an instant... just like it almost happened in the end.

WINCEST WINCEST WINCEST!!! KISS KISS KISS KISS!!!

Hell yeah... sexy Miyuki just in her underwear!!!

What incest?It still is one sided and Miyuki is still lying to herself that she is not in love with her brother (funniest scenes when she always say she isn't in love with him,if someone teases or ask her about it).

What makes you say Mari would have not fought back long when she is one of the best at magic CQC and that her opponent is injured? To attack Mayumi he needed to avoid Mari, who is well aware of his strength and was ready to attack him. And no, Mayumi didn't use her trump card, her first attacks were used to gauge the power needed to bypass his barriers, she can shot much more powerful ice shards and Lu used his trump card, Steel Qigong, not only Mari. It's like everything the others do must be undermined when Tatsuya helps.

His 3rd fight will be interesting.

edit: It was MH's fault that they confused anime only viewers with the way they animated Gram Demo this time (coulnd't they animated it the way they did during the 9SC's?),making like Tatsuya damaged Lu (nope he didn't actually do any damage to him,just destroyed his magic fortifications around his body and sealed the wound that he got from Nao during their battle).


You do know its gonna happen again...Mari and Mayumi will just take the credit next fight.

Anyway Nao ripped Lu's abdomen. Check
Tatsuya used gram demo to ripped apart Lu's armor and healing magic. Check
Mari taking all the good stuffs. Check.

EDIT: First rule of fighting alot of guys.
Kill the weakest. Lu determined that Mayumi is the weakest because Mayumi's specialty lies in Long range;So her being in that range pretty much killed Mayumi already; this is why Mari told Tatsuya to protect her.

Duped? She was hypnotized. Didn't you see the chemicals coming off of the flowers?

Even without magic, she would have been a relatively easy target. She actually like Zhou, he was the one person who listened to her and took her concerns seriously. Such a mindset is ripe for suggestion.

Yes he used her, but she already knew that going in, so that part didn't bother her. And lets be fair, Zhou actually liked her as well, he was the one who saved her life when her being killed by Lu would have accomplished the same goal and been far more effective than hypnotizing her.

Which again shows that the writer isn't particularly unfair towards any race. Zhou is one of the extremely few people in this show (of any race) that has had any trace of humanity.

Lu is on Naotsugu level in close combat and he probably would beat him back then, when Mari is below her boyfriend. Right, he was injured, but the only one, who exploited it was Tatsuya. If Shiba wasn't there Mayumi would be ripped apart, because her magic activated after GD, which lasted a while (it was rather psion stream, than cannonball). In that time she would be dead and Mari would be driven further back. And if Watanabe would be in defensive, she could not utilise her Multiple Slash, so Lu would have advantage.

I would rather see Tat use Ninjutsu, since they made a big deal about it in the beginning. Yet we see nothing of it, I guess it's too much for the drawers.

Mari is weaker than Naotsugu but it doesn't mean he would beat her with ease. According to the LN, Naotsugu would lose if the fight was to end fast, but he would be the winner if he could extend the duration of the fight.

It was pointed out that Lu was not at full power during his clash with Mari too, he was rather surprised to see that high school girls where able to hold him. The blood loss due to Gram Demolition is anime original, in the LN Tatsuya used Gram Demolition, Mayumi immediately followed, and Mari finished him, he was dizzy because of Mayumi's shots that were making him lose oxygen and Mari used this occasion to use her technique. Gram Demolition only destroyed his Steel Qigong barrier.

Also Azusa Nakajou, ummm she know Tat secret, yet says nothing. She flipped out when she seen Tat's weapon, but does nothing when she figured out Tat is Sliver.

We all can nitpick, but the anime is good. I'm guessing that they are rushing it because there might not be a second season. It's a guess, not saying it's the real reason.

Gonna rephrase my reply,

Will Mayumi and Mari survive round 2 against Lu???Will Tatsuya finally find the joy of cosplaying as a superhero? Will Miyuki confess to her brother of her love for him?Found out in the following next few eps of Onii-sam....er Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei!

Maybe not with ease, but when he would finish Mayumi, Mari alone maybe could make a good fight, but in the end she would lose. And Saegusa's magic activated after Gram Demolition stream, so in this time he would kill her quickly in close combat.

I'm starting to think this anime takes place inside an mmo. Mari tanking, Mayumi ranged dps, Tatsuya GM in disguise. Still better than SAO.

Also Azusa Nakajou, ummm she know Tat secret, yet says nothing. She flipped out when she seen Tat's weapon, but does nothing when she figured out Tat is Sliver.


My main complaint with Satou as a writer is that he has a lot of cool ideas that he touches on there here or there, but seldom develops them in a strong way so that people remember it.

Your comment is a good example of this. Asking people about their magic is completely verboten. It would be like asking someone about their sex life, even more to the point, people don't gossip about magic either. It's the biggest taboo in this world. This gets repeated a lot of times, but outside of a throw away line, Satou, to my knowledge, has never really developed this concept.

In episode three the SC asked about his magic because they originally thought he had cheated in an official match, and because Tatsuya showed that he was willing to answer their questions, however had he decided not to answer they would not have followed up once they knew he wasn't cheating. During the restaurant scene later, Miyuki explained Tatsuya's magic, but she did it in order to misdirect Erika (which is why she said he used Cast Jamming when he really used Gram Demolition - at least it seemed that way to me since he had to read the sequence) about the magic she had seen Tatsuya use.

So Azusa, while she knows, would not ask Tatsuya for fear of offending him. Mayumi is the same way, even though she knows that Tatsuya is a Yotsuba. Mari, being Mari, is the one who is most willing to break this taboo.

Mayumi suspects he's an Extra but in order to know for sure, she'd have to ask him and she's the type who's very unwilling to rock the boat when it comes to family stuff. I actually thought it was a pretty logical way for Satou to circumvent the issue of why someone wouldn't be able to ascertain that the Shiba siblings are Yotsuba. If it's forbidden to ask about people's magic and family, how would anyone know definitively that Tatsuya was a Yotsuba or what his magic is unless he himself came out and said it?

That being said, I do agree that Satou waits too damn long to use stuff he's mentioned in prior novels and while I'd like to trust that he knows what he's doing (considering he's said the story would end around 25-26 volumes), I'm still a bit skeptical.

have you seen SAO II yet.... I swear it looks like Kirito is auditioning for the next Star Wars movie.

Very nice episode. Fights were pretty cool, it was good to see Watanabe and Mayumi against the Tiger. I loved how Tatsuya just literally stood there, stared and still managed to play a critical role in capturing him.

Just when the bro-sis vibes were starting to fade, here comes the closest they've ever been until now. First time i've seen Tatsuya stutter (kinda)...

4/5.

Good episode.

That ending though. Lol. I just find it hilarious because it doesn't bother me, but I can practically hear the anime fans ripping their hair out in frustration over the continuous incest teasing in this series. XD

Seriously people, relax... it's just an anime. ^_^

The fight scenes were nice, but I do also feel like a lot of plot was skipped over. I get the jist of what's going on, but wish they could be a bit more in-depth with things.

So we had 2 solid fight scenes between some badass fighters.

We had the almost kiss.

And we had the best 10 seconds of this show so far:




They might as well go full incest now. Honestly I'd probably be more upset if they pulled an OreImo S2 OVA ending and just totally cop out at the last second.

Good fights in this episode, but I thought the antagonist was a bit weak, was won twice, I wanted to see him having a big fight against Tatsuya
Tatsuya and Miyuki are losing a little focus in this arc, but the end of this last episode relieved some of this with a moment of intimacy of brothers
Miyuki is very cute, but it was a little tossed up of brother, almost rolled a kiss and as always the Onii-sama consoled
The anime is directed to the end, hopefully an improvement in the episodes to end the anime with moral ..

Oh god, that ending, smh. The minute I saw Tatsuya take a seat on the couch I already knew what was going to happen.

Fight was good though, pretty much the only redeemable thing about this series (and we don't get enough, ffs).

The episode is quite boring... especially the fight scene. What I like in this episode is only the last 5 minutes, which is the Miyuki x Tatsuya scene.
