| they chibified mash on the big screen thing lmao. |
 |
| Absolutely based episode, this is peak shonen! Carpaccio was an awesome and fearsome villain and this was easily the best fight so far in the series, and wall rally attack was something you would only ever see in Mashle LOL |
| Thought this is gonna be a full fledge serious episode. Turns out its still have the joke with Mash changed his own iron wand into a tennis racket! Tho, where the heck he found his ball tho? And the damn string around the racket. Sonna baka na! |

| Holy shit the tennis sequence! |
| The animation improved greatly from the first to the second season, good episode |
 |
| Using his wand to form a tennis racket to beat him was genuinely so unpredictable, that fight was wild lmao. Animation went crazy too this season seems like an upgrade |
| Enjoyed this episode so much. HAHA Carpaccio being beaten is satisfying. |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| I hope Finn remembered Carpaccio's orb. |
| I was expecting a small power-up for Finn but this works too. |
 |
| Well this episode alone made me glad I didn't drop this season just yet - including the entire first season, this episode is the best by far. The first Mashle episode where I was engaged the entire time. Although some parts were very predictable, such as Finn being able to last just long enough for Mash to come to the rescue, the overall execution was satisfying. I'm still annoyed at how Finn is able to participate in such an important exam despite how weak he is, but at least he's proven himself to not be a coward when it counts. The tennis scene was so absurd but well-animated and fun to watch. |

| Mash's team with Finn only having his Life Crystal intact, both Mash and Dot are in absolute trouble if they don't find him soon. The main person of interest is still Carpaccio Luo-yang, who made his timely entrance at the end of the first selection and is aiming straight for him after he took out a candidate. That remaining crystal holds all 3 candidates' future, and as much as Finn tries to run away from Carpaccio, he just could not run far away from him. With every attack he takes transferred onto his opponent, Mash comes in time to stop the aggression. Not even Mash's attack causes any damage to Carpaccio, wielding 1 of 13 ancient Master Canes which he was blessed from his birth. With literally no way to afflict damage on Carpaccio, even as hurt words hit Finn hard, he still stands against someone as strong as the former, that's commendable by spirit alone. And with consecutive attacks, Mash hit the capacity limit of the Goddess Statue, releasing its true power, which Carpaccio appreciates him finally giving him some competition. And with his iron ward making a tennis racket, literally playing a tennis rally with it to aim at the crack, Mash finally gave some pain to Carpaccio. This is the only time where the Power of Friendship is used good for once, there's no mistaking about it. |

| Mash fought that statue thing like a boss fight lmao. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| Man f*ck this cappuccino guy.... he could've been such a cool character, but he blabs on for too long and does the typical villain toying with his prey. He literally snuck up on Finn and caught him by surprise and could've snatch the crystal right then and there, among having countless other opportunities to do so. But no guy just keeps talking and telling Finn to give it up himself. He doesn't come off as the crazy type that wastes time and has fun with his food, he seems like he would get sh*t over with. Like he says "I WON'T ASK AGAIN", and then proceeds to ask for it again, and again. COME ON. Ok maybe not f*ck the cappuccino guy himself, but definitely f*ck the writing- at least for that stretched out part for him 'asking' Finn for the crystal. Because with all that said, this is my favourite mashle episode so far; from both seasons. It created an amazing character moment for Finn, and a great moment for Carpaccio as well, in realizing what pain is and also realizing what Finn had gone through to protect a friend. And of course Mash playing squash with a steel racket using some demon nurse as a wall. Smart thinking; if all your attacks are getting reflected back at you, just reflect them back, duh! And man Mash sending that steel racket straight down on Carpaccio's head was freaking satisfying. Only thing that could've make it better would be a "TELL ME, DO YOU BLEED?" A bit goofy in the beginning with Carpaccio having 1892348912346 chances to take the crystal but not taking any of them, yeah. But again, the rest more than makes up for it and is imho the best mashle episode we've gotten so far. |

| This episode was truly satisfying in many ways! =) I have to give respect for Finn. You can see how outmatched he is against the likes of Carpaccio, but he stood his ground to the best of his abilities and it was nice to see him use magic to try and give him more time, which did pay off as Mash arrived to help out. Carpaccio did prove to be a tough opponent, due to how strong his abilities are thanks to him wielding one of the 13 ancient wands, but despite that, Mash went on the extreme offensive to hit him as much as possible to overwhelm Carpaccio's powers. Even when his wand's powers went into overdrive, Mash unleashed his Roger Federer and went hardcore tennis on the guardian angel before whacking the iron tennis racket on Carpaccio's head, making him feel pain for the very first time. This was a satisfying battle, also helped out by how well it was animated, too. Hopefully the next episode will show more of Dot and Lance if they get involved in any battles. |
| What's up with those who hated this episode? Are they watching the same one as we, the ones who LOVE IT, do? AMAZING EPISODE!!!!!!!! Loved everything about it :) |
 |
| omg what a outstanding move !! tennis smash vs that ancient stick handler is really awesome baTTLE ! |
| That was crazy and so funny, haha. Squash no jutsu. |
| oh my god, i swear each ep just keeps getting better and better, and the soundtrack for mash? *chefs kiss* |
| I think the anime is way too bloody for a comedy series. But yeah thats just my opinion ^.^ |

| @CorayyAnime A lot of lighter comedies often use gag blood as well so it's about par for the course. |
 |
| It was a very Mash episode. It's a fun anime. Finn is a good friend. I still want a shining Finn moment where he defeats an enemy alone, but this will do until then. Carpaccio and his stand got rocked by Mash. Mash slamming Carpaccio's face into the wall and cracking Carpaccio's head with the iron racket were satisfying moments. |
 |
| Finally Finn did some magic. Mash broke his STAND with a Tennis Racket LMAO |
 |
| I really like Finn as an example of a well written weak character. He's scared and knows everyone around him could easily beat him but he holds out for Mash who clearly values him very highly as a friend. |
| They forgot to destroy Carpaccio's crystal! D: Great episode. Finn standing his ground was nice to see and the fight against Carpaccio was really entertaining. |
