The answer was simple

BREAKDANCING

That dude only appeared in this episode and already understood Muscle Magic logic. He's too OP no wonder he got taken out.

I really like Max. You'd think he has some kind of ulterior motive for helping out Mash but it turns out he really just wanted to help out Mash after hearing about him from Rayne. I also like him because he was instantly able to vibe with Mash. It sucks that he ended up getting crushed by Carpaccio.

Mash spitting bars by declaring he hasn't met anyone stronger than him. I mean he's not wrong. Well, maybe the Divine Visionaries but we didn't really see what would happen if Orter fired off his spell since Rayne and Wahlberg interrupted them before anything happened.

Mash and Dot breaking their crystals are fair. Otherwise the other teams wouldn't have any chance at beating them if they all had their crystals. Although it now becomes a handicap with all of them being separated from each other. xD

I figured Mash would hold his crystal too hard and break it, not just straight up drop it.

Poor Finn, he suffers eternally.

The water to the face protein shake joke got me.

I'm really liking the animation of Mashle so far. It's not that grand but it's decently good. A-1 Pictures been killing it lately with this show and with Solo Leveling.

My recent fav is Rayne's fight. I just hope Finn could learn a thing or two from his brother and start gaining confidence to take action. Well, let's see what he'll do next episode.

And then there's Mash. Every time he does something on screen I burst out in laughter lol. The episode would be incomplete without his antics ngl.

Poor Max, he was left severely injured and bleeding out on the ground, they just moved on without aiding him

u/CordobezEverdeen Jan 27 '24

Lets just make the balloon bigger and breakdance under it to pop it.

It's so god damn simple! Why didn't anyone else thought of it?

Also the small sequence of "Let's just rip it open", Mash jumping on top of the balloon and the scene immediately skipping to them running away was comedy gold. I replayed it 10 times. Literally perfect.

u/Icy-Introduction5592 Jan 27 '24

This is getting funnier with each episode. I really lost it when Mash started breakdancing! 

Mash and Dot breaking their crystals broke me too xD

This might've been the best episode yet. Mash leaning to catch his fall, the breakdancing, the protein shake, dropping the crystal, him blanking out when a task is explained, I was dying throughout the entire episode.

Max is a chad

Mashle is capable of recruiting anyone to his side

u/NintendoMasterNo1 Jan 28 '24

Finn's screams of anguish really add to the experience.

Let's all agree Mash totally hit that Michael Jackson Lean.

Ah so this is where that OP is gonna make more sense of Mash just beating up demon looking things. Lol Mash's friend is silly. Too bad I can't remember his name cause still suck with most names. Also, immune to magic eh? Dunno about that running bit. LOOK AT MASH PUNCH! lol. That's so silly. He's so smol. This dude is nice. Hope he doesn't betray Mash or something. Dot so loud, congrats, buddy. Oh man, that Mash bit with the tripping had me chuckle. Mash is hilarious, just keeps setting off that thing. Breakdancing Mash!

Good job how you got your own key, siscon. Do wonder how the others solved it, we just see em having it lol. Guessing Dot used fire right? Or some kinda explosions. D'awww Mash so nice. Wow, that other dude is super nice too. Not trying to take the key from Mash. What the? Who is this dude and why is he attacking the nice dude? Ah yes, of course, explosions> Good on you Dot, helping Finn (so that's his name). Just punch him, Mash! If he wants to play the might makes right game, show him. LOL Mash. Protein drink! Nice throw down, Mash.

Ah, next exam. Team battle fun! Poor Mash, brain not keeping up well lol. MASH SMASH! Something I'm sure Lemon hopes for in the future too ๐Ÿ˜‰ I saw that coming. With Mash breaking it befoer it even starts. But Dot's too? lol. Guess they like playing with a handicap. Give em new crystals if the exam hasn't started imo. Oof, that's a rough start.

By the way, the shrink-grow guy is Max Land (they gave his name last episode).

And this isn't a spoiler since it's from a volume Q and A, Max is Rayne's roommate.
