OMGOD!!!!! How could I not see this coming? Aika is the mage of Exodus. If I used my brain for like a second I could've at least thought about the possibility.

Looks like I was right. I had a thought that Aika was the mage or someone really important when I first started watching this show.

That's crazy. I had a suspicion about that Aika "could" be the mage of exodus, but to see that it's true is just wow. This is an gigantic sword. But who will be the culprit of Aikas death? Hakaze? Or however someone else? Can't wait to see how this will end.

4 episodes only left :-(

I'm not surprised that Aika was mage of Exodus but I'm surprised at how badass huge sword she wields.
This brings me nostalgia when Yui from SAO introduced her huge ass sword.

Next episode looks promising.

The reveal was executed rather well, but I'm still annoyed as hell by Hakaze and her actions. Her crush on Yoshino - and that what it is, a crush, not love - is pathetic, not to mention talking aloud to herself like that seems pretty implausible.

Near the end of that i was hoping it wasn't going to end and then my hopes were crushed.


For real, Aika being the mage of Exodus was my initial theory for her death, but the story hiddened it very well foolimg us in believing on other theories, nice way to do things.

Predictable but pretty well built and executed in my opinion. Aika is an amazing character, probably one of my favorites out there.


It was like taking the obvious and carefully hide it beyond to make you forgot of the possibility to then surprise you.

Hakaze has to definitely silence Aika now. For some reason, I get a feeling that Aika is seriously gonna be an irritating bitch (no offense) seems super nosy and annoying, I can imagine her terrible personality more than ever now.

Oh sheet, i didn't see this coming, how foolish of me D:

I'm actually quite shocked, for once during this entire series i want her dead! I just hope nothing changes with Hakaze going to the past

So, Aika is the Mage of Exodus. That sword lmao.

Hazake being the killer is gaining strength after this episode (that theory about Aika's suicide too)

I saw that one coming since it's the one idea that everyone was avoiding. I was hoping for a major twist, but I wasn't expecting one either. I do like how it was revealed though, short and to the point with Aika looking badass.

Basically most of the viewer is like Mahiro, Samon and Junichirou discuss the yoshino girlfriend and the show itself is Hanemura. Oh irony

I was waiting in anticipation for the reveal and I couldn't stop grinning. I don't mind scenes you can see coming, in fact they have their own charm with the proper build up and this episode did a good job.

Damn... Now what's left is which theory is correct. Whether Hakaze really killed her(Hakaze's theory) or Aika killed herself(Samon's theory).

Damn, about time for the truth to come finally come out! Aika-chan turning out to be Mage of Exodus was my first impression back in Episode 12 or so but I dropped that idea with the appearance of Kaji Yuki's CV, and here it is.

Can't wait to see what's next in store for me next episode!

Got to say, Yoshino-san attracting both the Mages from opposite sides is really impressive though lol.

This was such a huuuuge asspull bruh. I predicted 10 episodes ago that she was the mage of exodus in the past, but I still wanted the reveal to be a big plot twist...

As much as I want to call it out for being a dope twist, it just makes too much sense. Hints were sprinkled. Lowkey expected it lol

This Aika is like 10x hotter, damn!

Yoshino somehow remembers me of Parn in Lodoss War, when he carry both the Holly Sword and the Soul Crusher, to defeat the fate of the witch and bring balance to the world.


Aside tbe shakespeare BS, this is the real main plot of this anime.

Yoshino using his "sword" in the Mage of Exodus and the Mage of Genesis, logic x absurdity, to bring balance to his d*.


Man, i must find the Hentai version if this.

Now, this was always coming, but they still nailed the execution. Given the kind of characterisation they've given Aika thus far, it would only make sense she would play the role of something as important and antagonistic like mage of exodus.

With Aika's identity in the open, only two theories seem to make sense now, and to be honest both are equally plausible. Can't wait.

Now it makes sense why they suspect Yoshino to be the "heart" and not the "body" (which is Hanemura) of the mage of Exodus. Since Aika died, all of Yoshino's actions have been for her (giving her death meaning, following the Tempest quotes etc) so he essentially carries her will or her "heart".
Which essentially means Aika controls Yoshino and Yoshino controls Hakaze making Aika the Grand Puppeteer

Somewhat inane excuse for not aiming to save Aika from her death in the past, but whatever. Giving up without elaborating on why you you're giving up is also an option, even if you're inevitably tampering with the past just by time travelling and engaging with the past world anyway. Plenty of visual metaphors with butterflies so far, but the butterfly effect itself is only referenced when it's convenient.

Aika being the Mage of Exodus lends more credence to the view that it wasn't someone else who killed her. And Hakaze probably won't fare too well in the fight that's probably coming up next either, if Aika's newly revealed status and huge sword are any indication.
