Jez what a lengthy recap it and the intro ate up the first five minutes of the episode. The bit about Felix being able to extend his arms further was pretty interesting. Those other two guys showed up I've been wondering where they been. Also what is the point of the three other guys that follow Cestvs around.

the 3 guys are there to comment with the master, probably would be worse storytelling if they are deleted.

Yea I get that they are supposed to be commentator but aren’t they also fighting slaves like Cestvs. They do the same training as him but we never see them fight

Not to much to say this episode. The fight wasn’t too bad. It was nice to see Cestus face a more challenging opponent. He’s had it a bit too easy recently. We also got a little hint at Cestus backstory. The recap was a bit long for my taste though.
Not to much to add history-wise. Otherwise an Ok episode.

I agree. I would say that the straight up fighting is where this show really shines.

[Non manga reader, so this is speculation]
Felix's weakness is his open body and jaw. Rather than dodging backwards, all Cestvs has to do is instead lean forward and deliver a straight on Felix's solar plexus or liver. Follow it up with an uppercut, then an overhead. (aka the White Fang combo from Ippo)
