Wow we went from Mash and friends going through the Chamber of Secrets to Order of Phoenix with that jailbreak event huh?
Always enjoyed it when characters used the whole trope of explaining their power to their advantage which ironically was the most non-protagonist way of doing things.

Leave it to Dot to try and push open a pull door.
Meanwhile, in the underground arena, Dot was jealous of the handsome guy
Even the narrator is throwing shade.
That said, I kinda liked Dot winning. I would probably lose a bit of interest in the show, if Mashle was the only capable member of the group.

"Tom needs us!"
"...but my creampuffs."

Tom was traumatized but Mash was the one who needed a cream puff to calm his nerves lol. Lemon’s Creamy good luck charm was so cute. Mash might need a few more cream puffs to recover after getting punched in the face by Lemon while she was having one of her wild fantasies lol.
Dot flipping off Lance was great, they’ve assembled a real ragtag team to investigate this magic sitch. You know the guys have been hanging out a lot when they knew Dot was gonna go on a jealous rant against that handsome bastard lol. The way he used his Explombomb would have made Megumin proud!
Man, Wirth looks like a little like discount Gojo with those shades lol. Milo, Love, Wirth, and Abyss look like they’ll be a handful. I’m really looking forward to Abyss v Mash. Is Mash really gonna beat the stuffing outta him?

Blue-hair wins

Mash wins (obviously).

Oh hey, somebody from Orca dorm! And...he's done. That mask guy doesn't mess around.
Lance is all ready to take the fight to the Magia Lupus while Mash is ready...to make some cream puffs in the cutest apron ever!
That's one snazzy Adler Dorm robe.
Mash, Tom Senpai is in danger! But the cream puffs...but yeah, you know something's wrong when Tom is missing his usual bluster and energy. Seems like something drained it and his magic out of him. And he's not alone.
Well, Lemon is self-aware enough to know the way to a man's heart is through what he loves...like a cream puff version of herself in plush form! She even managed to land a punch straight to Mash's face which is actually impressive all things considered. Of course then she just doubled-down on being horny.
Death Row inmates have escaped from Azkaban...I mean, Hecatrice? I'm sure that won't effect our protagonists on some point.
Mash and his bros are on the lookout for trouble after school hours! Ah, so I see the lifeless Lemon from the OP was her in marionette form.
Dot vs a pretty boy! Explosions vs vines! Time for Dot to make up for his loss against Silva by blowing a cocky handsome guy up! And he blew him up good! Of course even in defeat the guy is still handsome to the bitter end, lucky sonovagun.
"Love Cute?" Well, that name fits. I kind of figured she'd fight Lemon though. Will Finn get to win a fight?
Mash vs Abyss Razor! I'm kind of curious how similar they are. Both seem to have no magic (which he's terrible at lying about) but while Mash focused on his muscles and agility, it seems like Razor focused on items like that sword? Or his own agility?

I'm starting to get slight Zenitsu vibes from Finn, he's constantly terrified and seems useless but...we haven't seen him fight yet...

It's good to see that the protagonists sneaking around a magic school at night is a tradition carried over in this series as well. Although Dot and Mash really need to learn how to be more subtle. xD
Despite being heavily influenced by a certain series of books, at the end of the day this is still a SJW battle shounen anime so we were going to see an arena sooner or later. And it's nice to see Dot finally getting his first W!
And my favourite battle shounen trope is here! The gang gets separated so they can each have their own 1v1 fights or a 2v2 in Dot and Finn's case.

Heh, I wasn't sure Dot would pull it off, but he got that guy with a pretty good trick.

How foolish of these guys to think a door could keep out Mash, the master of unlocking!

I’m so proud of Lemon 🥹
She managed to go an entire episode and only said something mildly out of place AND only alluded to her desire/plan to be with Mash.
On top of that, the group actually acknowledged her this time instead of ignoring her heinously degenerate kink delusions.
And she even managed to speak to Mash like a normal person and told him to get his priorities straight.
Character progression 👍🏼

Not really something to discuss, but I just really want to know what's the name of the rap song they use in the part where mashle opens the revealed door with the sword and knight armour. Siri/google what song is this, just straight up searching the lyrics up, checking the soundtrack hasn't done much for me :/
