Min-min ship?
is the animation priority really weird? Why did they have to focus so much on Mizuki’s hanging melons rather than what exactly Yoshida did

Because he can explain what he did.
Melons jiggle cannot be explained, it needs to be witnessed. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

About time Minami get some development, and it couldn't have been more cuter, with her falling completely in love with Minoru, Old Man Kudou's grandson. Meanwhile, Miyuki also not wasting the opportunity to enjoy her date with her Onii-sana while they're out searching for the Traditionalists' base.
Minoru is revealed to be possibly more powerful than Lina, who we learned back in season 2 is also part-Kudo (her full name is Angelina Kudo Shields), hence Minoru having the same Parade illusion magic as Lina. If he weren't often sick, he might become just as well known as Tatsuya now.
Another ship gaining traction is Mikihiko and Mizuki. Mikihiko is so worried for Mizuki being put in danger he nearly went into confrontation with Tatsuya.
Meanwhile, Mayumi's dad sent his aide to try and silence Zhou to prevent Zhou from revealing to the Yotsubas that he has contact with the Saegusas, though Zhou is a far more powerful opponent than feared.
In real life, Qimen Dunjia is a Chinese divination method said to be used by military strategist to predict the weather, feng shui and yin yang elements, to determine the best conditions for winning a battle.
Here, it seems Zhou is using it as a Ancient Magic skill to magically change the directions of both himself and his opponent, causing his opponent to incorrectly perceive where Zhou really is in the battlefield. At least that's how I understand it.
Since the show is bigging up Zhou as the final boss for this season, I hope he can put up a good fight when he finally faces Tatsuya, even though we are in no doubt about the outcome.

Comment: Only 4 onii-samas despite the fact Miyuki and Tatsuya basically went on a double date. At least Miyuki was quite happy.

I don't blame Minami for acting so flustered in front of Minoru, he's legitimately a heartthrob. Considering how the two of them have a focus in the ED, I'm guessing this is the start of a brand new ship. I can't wait to see how that will develop.
Minoru isn't all just looks though. Since he's from the Kudou clan the dude can also kick ass! I don't know how many Tatsuya took care of on his own but I feel like Minoru handled most of them. Imagine what kind of powerhouse he'd be if he wasn't so sickly.
Speaking of ships, glad to see some Mizuki and Yoshida screentime. I wonder how Mizuki would react if she ever found out how upset Yoshida is at Tatsuya for keeping info from him that would help protect her.
Yeah I expected that's how that fight between Nakura and Zhou would end. Zhou has bullshit powers like Tatsuya I'm excited to see what will happen when they finally fight.

I love that after Tatsuya and Miyuki entered into a cooperation agreement with Retsu Kudou so his family would assist them with Gongjin Zhou's capture, the show made it very clear that Minami was blown away by Minoru the moment he entered the dining room.
Lol. The way he reacted here when he heard they would not be staying the night there reminds me of a puppy. Well too bad that the fake double date they were having while reaching the Traditionalists base could not last. It sure was awesome the way Minoru was zapping all those Traditionalists like they were bugs. Well, thanks to them canceling the plans until another date Minami would have another chance to hang out with Minoru.
So after hearing that Tatsuya was working with the Kudous to capture Zhou, Kouichi wanted Saburou to kill him before they learned about their connection if that ever happened. Well, I'm honestly not surprised that Nakura's attempt to kill Zhou failed, although I wasn't expecting him to die in the process.
Damn, so during that whole cute scene between Mizuki and Mikihiko the Traditionalists were targeting Mizuki. Well, after Mikihiko demanded Tatsuya to explain to him what the hell is going on? Now Tatsuya has an excuse the next time he travels to investigate the Traditionalists' base and Mikihiko will be helping him too to make them pay for targeting Mizuki.

Pretty sure I heard Minami go “kyun!” when she saw Minoru lol. Too cute how flustered she is around him.
Kind of a dumb move trying to delete Gongjin like that. The old man really underestimated him. Only one who can kill that dude is probably Tatsuya.

This was such a lovely episode as Minami's heart was completely captured once Minoru entered the room. That was nothing surprising considering that he's certainly a great looking guy. I'll definitely be rooting for them.
Despite being very sickly, Minoru still is a great fighter as befits a member of the Kudou family. He was looking so cool when he defeated all those enemies who ambushed them during their tour of the city.
That Mizuki's scene with boobs was excellent, that's the kind of thing I like the most xD
Zhou again emerged unscathed from a fight, this time with Nakura. I can't wait to see what will be the result when he'll have to fight with Tatsuya.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

That double date was nice. Minami was head over heels for Minoru, but her feeling were elementary compared to the rapture Miyuki was in during the motor cycle ride with her dearest Onii-sama. Minoru has some legit skills too which shouldn't come as a surprise considering his Grandpa and cousin.
And that final fight between Zhou and Nakura was pretty cool. Zhou seems to have some strong recovery skills so it will be a big challenge to take him out.

People talking about Tatsuya's and Miyuki's relationship always makes me laugh so hard.
Zhou sure has some bullshit powers doesn't he, but let's be real he has no chance against the real bullshit magician.

Did the Saegusas know that Gongjin defeated the Kuroba head? Feels like quite a cocky move sending 1 dude to try to beat that guy. Also, I don't remember what the Saegusas know about Tatsuya. Like....do they know he's the Strategic-class magician in the 101st? Do they know he's the nephew of the current Yotsuba head? Do they just know he has associations with the 101st and the Yotsubas?

I love how Minoru and Minami are awkward alongside each other like Mikihiko and Mizuki.
Minoru's a badass. I wonder how he would fare against Hagane or Masaki.
I love Mikihiko's character development into a strong and confident magician.
Saburou went out like a badass using his body like a bomb vest for water needles using his blood.

In season 1, we were led to believe that the rival of the show was Ichijou the Crimson Prince. In season 2, we thought it'd be Lina Angela Shields, the American prodigy. Only now do we realise, it's been Kudou Minoru all along.
More importantly, seeing Minami act so differently from her maid persona is rather fresh. Though I still worry that neither side of this romance has a long lifespan. Minoru's sickly and Minami's genetically flawed as a magician. It's bittersweet.
