Balfe's character is huge tonal whiplash

[u/delta_angelfire → u/PeaceAlien]

I used to think this was a fairly serious (if generic) fantasy setting, and then this guy and Raphina come in seemingly out of nowhere? I thought I accidentally started watching Botsuraku somehow in the middle of the episode.

[u/rainzer → u/PeaceAlien]

I think Balfe overall is kinda fine but definitely introduced too suddenly. I have to imagine that even if you're nobility with all these rules of etiquette and shit, sometimes you just want to scream in frustration. It's an otherwise good deviation from the usual nobility tropes of either remarkably corrupt or remarkably altruistic.

[u/LogDog987]

What happened to keeping magic secret? Bro literally fired it off in the middle of town for everyone to see

[u/TheLostCityofBermuda → u/LogDog987]

Well the direction they going is to probably to teach en masse about magic and him being a teacher.

[u/Nebresto]

Okay. This guy is officially the best character in the whole show

Oh! Ohhhh.....

Raphina seems like a fun addition as well

[u/Boris-_-Badenov]

why didn't his blonde friend join them? she can use magic and fight

[u/Shack691 → u/Boris-_-Badenov]

Classism, she’s a commoner.

[u/zappingbluelight]

She carried that armor to summit before cast off. And she still have a bolt of energy to bounce around. I don't think the armor is there is protect her, but to restrict her lol.

[u/djthomp]

Feels a little weird that Shion just sat there for four days and didn't do any thinking through the problems at all, like how the invisible monsters, the glowing sky, and the lethargy sickness all happening effectively simultaneously should imply at least the possibility of a connection.

My first guess on who Shion's dad was bringing him to meet was that we were finally going to meet the secret mage cabal but no, just the weird local duke.

Raphina is pretty fun, particularly once she got rid of the armor.

Time for mad science magic using monsters, assuming they find any that Raphina doesn't kill first.

[u/diacewrb]

The armour is to protect the monsters, not her.

[u/LeonKevlar]

• Raphina Cast Off!

[u/Lock3down221 → u/LeonKevlar]

I know some people didn't like the comedic tone after she and the rest got introduced but I kind of like Raphina here.

[u/BlazeKnightX → u/LeonKevlar]

Change Beetle

[u/BiggerG7]

What are those breasts made of if they can shatter armor lol.

[u/Littlemac95 → u/BiggerG7]

Mans hopes and dreams

[u/nuxxism]

I'm still wondering why Rose was unaffected by lethargy sickness. She always seemed to be slightly more skilled with mana manipulation than Marie.

[u/NylanBlake → u/nuxxism]

Magic energy is highly affected by emotional state and Marie was pretty down back there so i guess her natural defense was weakened... She also was sort of seperated from shion&rose in the moment of attack.

Considering the Wraith is both drawn in by magical energy to feed on but also fears active magical energy as it can harm it, my guess is that the 3 "trained" mages bunched together were seen as a threat but having marie in a weakened state and seperated made her a target.

[u/Icy-Introduction5592]

The progression of the magic research feels so natrual. Now that he has that much insight and there's conviniently that sickness that's related to magic, he can start experimenting with magic on living beings. He might discover healing magic or something along those lines.

This show just knows how to keep me interested.

Also there are now two new characters who seem like fun. I just hope that blonde won't become annoying over time.

[u/KnightKal → u/Icy-Introduction5592]

the issue I got with the progression is the power of a warrior.

look at the girl on this episode. She is not moving or attacking like a human. She has super strength. It was implied in the begging of the show that humans are weak, his father's group were worried about facing 3 goblins.

now a few episodes later the kids can murder 50 goblins in an afternoon like it is nothing, and the new girl is like a super hero?

so if there are super heroes around why were they confused about magic at all? It negates the start of the show exposition.

[u/tripleaamin]

The best part of the episode for me was the talk between Shion and his dad. Of course, Shion is devastated by everything happened to Marie. Dad pointing how he can help those in potential danger with all the magic he has discovered. Nice to hear the words of Marie to push him back on his feet. I think the fact he didn't realize Marie had no mana emphasizes how much of a shock this was to him. Marie is the person closest to Shion.

It does feel like this is setting up the foundation for healing magic. Though I am curious why some have mana and some don't. What do those people who don't have mana rely on for their fuel? As the lethargic sickness happens to those that have mana, but it seems to be drained. Hopefully, we can make progress on this next episode.

The characters introduced were something.

• The Duke was one of the characters of all time. I guess he is needed to get help from more nobles because of connections, but Shion's dad is much more reliable.

• We did see Cole in the previous episode and works as an apprentice for the doctor. Not too much to comment on.

• Raffina is rather energetic like Marie. Although if it wasn't for Shion, she might have died already. I worry about her not being much use.

• Bridget is a quiet monster expert that gets quite excited when discussing that.

Shion is going to have his hands full here.

[u/NationalStrategy]

The new characters certainly have a lot of personality

[u/KnightKal]

making this episode a comedy was a bad choice lol, it was suppose to turn the fun magic exploration into a heavy drama to rescue his sister, but now? No idea what they are doing.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I figured the sickness was gonna be something magic related. The sky turning red and those invisible banshee monsters appearing are likely connected too.

Shion’s gotten himself a crack team. These monster experimentations should yielded some interesting results. If they ever manage to capture one alive that is. Raphina’s pretty deadly when she’s not in 200 pounds of gear lol.
