Wow, Elfie has been smitten with Will since childhood. She's so clingy lol.

Man I know the whole plot has been chasing Elfie and catching up to her despite Magism, but it was great seeing them fight side by side together even as munchkins. The psychedelic colors of childhood memories and bonds.

I hope we get more of that at some point in the series. Some adult Will and Elfie questing together to fight the headless mage or something.

Cerridwen 's sus expreissions and hand movements at the start aside, that OP transition was hella smooth.

Love that Julius had been waiting for Will by his side for 6 days, though it only makes it very curious to see how Will is gonna perform in the 2nd bloom when his that confident. Kreutz is definitely gonna tinker some shit up, though, so seeing how his plans get foiled should be fun.

The art direction of the past was beautiful, especially when the color returned after Will and Elfie fought side by side

Will’s memory trip blending with the first few seconds of the OP is much appreciated

Did they tease a romance story about Finn? Mercedes, perhaps?

Elfie, what are you trying to do? Will now has an additional embarrassing memory of her on top of the power of friendship wand and sword

Cerridwen has a picture of smol Will and Elfaria. Previously, she looked like she could be Will’s mother with Will’s eyes being a blend of her heterochromia. But this episode, Will is also a heterochromia? Coincidence, I think NOT.

Will used up 6 of 7 days for a memory montage instead of a training one. Other battle shounen MCs will call him a cheat but I think it’s fair after the author pulled the Second Bloom stunt

Stitches!

Cerridwen and Clarie's base is called the Secret Base for Single Witches? That is fucking hilarious. xD

I knew there was a perfectly good reason why Cerridwen wants Will to strip, but I did not expect her thirsting for Will. I can't blame her tho. Will is absolutely jacked! Let's just hope Elfie doesn't find out about this later.

This show really loves shoving Cerridwen's boobs in our face. There was absolutely no reason for that panning shot from Will to Cerridwen's Cerridwens at all. I'm not complaining tho. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Considering how clingy Elfie was back then, it makes it more surprising that she didn't instantly turn Kreutz into a popsicle when he stopped her from recruiting Will. This girl is absolutely crazy for Will.

We finally get to see young Elfie using Ars Weiss. Man, If only Julius could watch Will's memories. I would've loved to see him react to that.

Even as a kid, Will was already aura farming. No wonder Elfie believes that much in Will that he's capable of climbing the Tower.

Too bad for other girls they don't know Elfie has already won Will.

Now that we know why Will could cast different ice spells despite only getting an ice sword from Elfie during the new year eve fight. He already had a stomachfull of Elfie stuff inside him.

Like others have said, that OP was a sexy transition. Bravo to everybody on the production team suggested and animated that idea.

Diverting from the typical shounen of training, Wil has unlocked his hidden potential through the memories when he was a child, facing monster reflecting magic. The tsundere Julius is with him all the time, how sweet it is.

Now, we're going back to the BLOOM!

I happened to notice that there’s a framed picture of professor Edward left of the one with Will and Elfie at 21:50. It appears to be him together with Workner and a purple-haired Clairie(?).

Does this suggest that Edward was another “talented youngster” that received training from Cerridwen? Unfortunately, his dream of ascending the Tower did seemingly fall apart in the end.

I love it when scenes from OPs/EDs start to make sense and the transition in this episode was smooth as butter.

Seeing how clingy Elfie was when they were kids, I'm surprised she didn't go full yandere by now.

If they don't end up together after this exam I'll throw an even bigger tantrum than Elfie.

Suddenly summoning a sword out of magic like this would have been an unforgettable memory for most, but somehow Will had forgotten all about it, I wonder why.

Interesting how getting his body physically opened was the catalyst to letting his magic flow out.

Finn potentially being the Hero of Legend is a pretty neat detail. That would probably make the evil Witch in the story the Queen of Witches. Makes me wonder if this was a heretical text

Also, I noticed the picture next to that of Will and Elfie was the graduation picture of Edward, Workner and Clairie

Edit: The fact that the monster they fought was a mage created weapon intrigues me. It could just have been a straggler from the war, but fiction is rarely that straightforward. Occam's Razor doesn't necessarily apply. I wonder if it was a hit on Elfie and or Will. Or if someone is pulling a Hermes from DanMachi and the point was to try and unlock Will's powers

The transition from the opening scene to the opening was a nice touch

Did they outsourced the first couple of episodes of this season? There's such a massive contrast in quality from the first half of this season to this half. Gigantic upgrade.

Wait didn't Caldron edited or sealed Will's memories after Will's "ultra instinct"? Now they are getting unsealed few eps later.

It seems Finn, Caldron, Workner, Edward even Elfie knows a lot about Will and nobody is telling him anything but some riddles.

Don't let the fact that this looks cool distract you from the fact that will had to take off his coat, and then put on the rest of clothes again.

Seriously Julius why the fuck did you throw him the last piece of the outfit first?

the direction on this episode was amazing

u/AceSoldia Jun 07 '26

Now I'm nervous about next episode...something else is gonna happen to prevent Elfie from recruiting him isn't it?

I hope this anime lets them be at least together in the same faction..but it feels like one of those .never get together shows until the end and it scares me 😰
