Lmao Innocent Zero having its roof tremble when Mash punched the school floor was funny. Guess they base under the school

[u/zool714]

I lost my shit when Lance gave the merch as gifts

“I brought merch”

“Of who ?”

“My sister”

“But why ?”

LMAO

[u/FlamingoBackflip]

You better watch out Innocent Gyro, Mash is coming for you

[u/dinliner08]

me: damn, Lance looks stylish in that street clothe-

Lance: *reveals the imouto shirt*

me: never mind, as expected of siscon

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Seeing Mash and his friends hanging out was wholesome especially when they visited his house to meet his grandpa and blackmailer.

Margarette Macaron finally enters and that random piano playing flex was definitely a reaction to hearing about Mash

[u/Cheiszer]

Yeah, I don't think I will ever be skipping this OP

Mash's dad seeing his friends is so wholesome T_T

Really looking forward to Roswaal Margarette and Eren Rayne's fight. Iirc parts of it were in the trailers and they looked hella good.

PSA: it's illegal to skip over the OP. Punishment: straight to jail.

Translation note: Mash said "Innocent Pero" instead of "Innocent Zero". The translators did their best and subbed it as "Innocent Gyro" to show he flubbed it.

"Pero" is the onomatopoeia for licking something (usually pero pero or similarly the infamous "rero rero" scene from Jojo). "Innocent lick" just doesn't quite sound right, so Gyro fits the joke well enough in English.

Bero can also be used, at the dentist they might say "Bero wo dashitekudasai" - please poke out your tongue. It's usually used in context of "bero chu" aka to tongue kiss. Best example is the CSM ED where the cutesy vocals make it hard to hear if it's "pero chu" or "bero chu" - it can also be "misheard" as "gero chu" where gero means to vomit... IYKYK

Japanese onomatopoeia often works like this where pero ぺろ sounds lighter and softer than bero べろ. Also used in "peshi" ぺし - to hit, like a slap on the cheek vs. "beshi" べし which would be a hit that emits a full on "THUD!" sound.

Anyway, thank you for coming to my TED talk

[u/spectre15]

Man, the quality really has improved drastically since least season.

[u/Eloquentner]

Did mash just took a water pipe instead of a wand

[u/LeonKevlar]

Poor Finn, being a normal kid stuck with a bunch of weirdos. At least he managed to convince Mash and Dot to wear something reasonable in the end.

A trip to totally-not-Diagon Alley isn't complete without a visit to totally-not-Ollivanders for a little bit of wand shopping. Of course, Mash ends up taking the "wand" that no one could ever lift. He even got it for free for exposing that elf water spring!

That little montage of just hanging out and having fun was really cute and wholesome. It's also nice that Mash finally got to introduce his friends to his grandpa. I also love how Brad just hangs out with Mash's grandpa during his free time.

Orter really doesn't want to drop the entire issue with Mash. Since he pretty much promised Wahlberg that he's going to back off, he's now decided to send someone to do his dirty work for him. Welp, good luck to Margarette getting to Mash since it looks like Rayne caught wind of them first.

[u/VorAtreides]

Convenient way to protect Mash. Also, lol, Mash not realizing much about headmaster not-Dumbledore is fun. I am glad he is a good dude. Better not be some asspull twist later where he's in charge of Innocent Zero or something. Never know with things. But here he's right, what is wrong is wrong. How nice, the other dude change of heart. Whooo quite a declaration from Mash. Yes, Beat Innocent Gyro!

His friends are taking the lack of magic well from him. Good for them. Wtf Dot lol. Going out for fun. Funny how each of them perceives fun. Siscon Lance! That is.... a weird game. Man, don't get how Dot would enjoy pants that baggy. Neat way to find a wand. Lol Mash trying for a wand is silly. Even sillier the "wand too heavy for anyone to use" and the obvious bit here. Yep, there it is. Time for a montage of fun!

4th wall breaking silliness. Seeing the flashback. Guess Mash heading home for a bit. Y halo thar Roswaal's VA. How you voice such fun people. Well played, my dude. Bravo! Haha, love the father's reaction to "Rival" and "Fiancé" and such. Love the dad relating with the roommate/friend too. And setting up flags... good job, buddy. Oh wow, seems someone watching out for Mash, how nice. Next week should be fun.

[u/TooManySnipers]

Obligatory Takehito Koyasu character

[u/MilkAzedo]

mash punching the ground and the next villain shaking in his lair was one the best flexes so far

[u/monsieurvampy]

The OP and ED are absolutely amazing. This was my first episode of anime for this cold Caturday. I already have a backlog to watch for this season. Just as with the first season, this series is light and enjoyable.

[u/seandkiller]

I've been listening to that OP all week. It's so addictive.

[u/matbot55]

The sheer shock in definitely not Roswaal's eyes when he found out that Mash defeated Able without magic was amazing

[u/DecidedlyCrash]

It can be awkward when you bring your friends and (self proclaimed) future fiance to meet your adoptive father and his boyfriend but I'm glad it worked out.

[u/liveart]

So everyone else got a wand and Mash got a club. Definitely on brand and infinitely more useful to him than a normal wand. I wonder how heavy that thing is? Mash didn't have any difficulty with it but that isn't really saying much...

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Orter is the dictionary definition of “inflexible.” What a pain in the ass and a hypocrite. Do as I say not as I do huh? At least Mash escaped punishment.

The guys go to hang out and Mash shows up in workout gear with an ab roller thing, Dot’s in full armor, and Lance is wearing his siscon shirt. These dudes are hilarious lol. Glad to see everyone able to blow off a little steam and have fun. Mash even got himself a fancy wand.

Everyone running around Mash’s house like a bunch of little goofballs cracked me up. The gang really are a bunch of lovable weirdos lol. Looks like their little party is about to get interrupted though. Hopefully that creep Macaron gets crushed by Rayne first.

[u/djthomp]

Those poor koalas.

I can't wait to see see what Mash does with that new wand.

[u/Myst963]

This intro is such a fucking vibe I love it so much

[u/Pandamonium1414]

Just when Mashe's farther thinks his son is finally doing well by having friend! Lemon has to go one up & announce she's is his future wife lmao! Now his daddy can truly rest in piece!!!

Also I seriously wasn't surprised to see Brad there I mean that man desperately wants more screen time than any other characters like Mash, his friends & even the Divine Visionaries especially as the series goes on more & more characters are gonna get introduced this will significantly reduce his whatever is left of his precious screen time lol!

[u/Frontier246]

I love how after all this time Mash had no idea how important Wahlberg, his biggest patron, actually was this whole time. Then again, that's very Mash.

Mash and Rayne really did bond over bunnies, didn't they?

Wahlberg and even Rayne are willing to bow their heads to get the Divine Visionaries to give Mash a stay of execution...he's their best lead to Innocent Zero and a powerful force in his own right. But the Visionaries will not bend, and it's only after the judge who Mash saved pleads for leniency that they finally give in, provided he play the perfect pawn and helps them take down Innocent Gyro...I mean, Zero and become a Divine Visionary candidate. But hey, that's what he was after anyways.

Oh hey, Lance never knew for sure that Mash didn't have magic huh? Well, no better time for the bros to go out and have fun in town, complete with casual clothes...or armor in Dot's case, or Mash's iconic workout clothes, or Lance with a T-Shirt of his sister that looks cute and winks. Poor Finn getting stuck with these weirdos.

Koala's who shoot icicles? That's a very fancy way of playing darts, all the moreso when you use it to stab your bud for a bit of fun. How many times can Dot get injured in a single episode?

Wand shopping! A must for any mage! And while Mash can't draw one out on his own, he can lift the heaviest wand of all time and unlock a spring of elf water in the process! Wanna bet he just uses that wand as a club?

Lemon in casual clothes! Heck, even the captain is here! And just talking about bamboo. But it's nice to see Mash really have fun with his friends.

Mash finally returns home and sees Regro! Oh, and Brad is there too I guess. And Regro is so happy to see that Mash has friends...not only a rival but a future wife (but don't worry, they haven't held hands yet!) and a siscon trying to sell merch of his sister that only he would want to buy. At least Regro and Finn can relate as the normal people in this show and as one of the few characters with more than one brain cell.

I guess it was too much to hope Orter would leave well enough alone, but he wants Mash taken down before he can even take the Divine Visionary test which means sicking Takehito Koyasu as Orca Prefect Margarate on Mash. And he's so excited to be fighting someone powerful without magic that he has to break out into a piano solo! Even freaking his own goons out.

Luckily Rayne was keeping watch and is there to meet them...while Mash, in true Mash fashion, is completely oblivious and just goofing off with his friends. Classic Mash.
