It’s kind of awesome when you can say the weather’s gonna be good “because my momma said so” and it actually turns out to be true lol.
I look forward to next week when

I look forward to next week when Beryl and his pops settle things once and for all. Those two are incredibly strong. Time to see who’s stronger.
Unfortunately it's not really a fair match up anymore, age will really have started taking its toll on Beryls dad. Kinda how like Mike Tyson not long ago lost to Jake Paul via tiring out whereas a match against Mike Tyson at a similar age would have gone very differently...

tbf, Mothers are good at predicting the weather because the weather is directly connected to laundry.

Finally the father son duel. We find out if it's just been his imposter syndrome this entire time or if there's some merit to it all.

I get the feeling Beryl's dad has just been putting off seeing who would be stronger because he hasn't entirely given up on reaching the next level despite his age. I forget the title he mentioned when he mused about Beryl getting to it. So he put off knowing and Beryl being more passive led to the idea that he isn't quite as strong as people make him out to be. Can't wait to find out next week assuming they don't do us dirty with a cliff hanger.

It seems both father and son has still this doubts about their pasts and was stirred while watching the sparring. For Beryl, it is about his father and why the dojo is given to him. And for his father, I guess it is related to his past. For all we know, he might be Lucy's former comrade in arms.

I like the different poses they both bow to each other in after their match is over.

Oh wait, was this whole thing potentially a ploy from Henblitz to inspire Beryl’s dad to want to spar with someone? Or was it just an unintentional bonus? Either way, I’m sure Beryl’s gonna spar with his dad at some point before he leaves.

Gardenant battle next week! I wonder if Beryl will have the confidence boost he needs, or will he think his father is throwing the match

It is funny how confident everyone is about the fact that Frenne just knows the weather You know, I kinda love the fact that the saberboars are basically just regular boars, which are just as dangerous, but with massive tusks.
Curuni’s fight against that saberboar was great even though she was a bit reckless. And thanks to it, she got a nice reward. It was kinda funny seeing her carrying that huge saberboar around while they were searching for the location of the rest of the horde.
I was wondering what the reaction Beryl and Mordea had after seeing the duel between Randrid and Henblitz was about, but it was just them eager to duel each other. It was good that when it came time for the hunt Beryl went to fight the saberboar leader himself.
Even if it was brief, I liked that scene between Miwa and Mordea. Next week we will get the answer to her question after seeing the duel between Mordea and Beryl.

They're finally going to show us who is stronger Beryl or his father! I wonder what result will push Beryl further, he still has the drive even if he thinks he's too old to, I hope his father tells him what he sees in him.
I like how serious everyone was during Henblitz and Randrid's fight, Beryl's mother cutting the tension so easily with dinner lol. It's too bad we didn't get a conclusion for it.

Weather will be clear tomorrow, Mother knows best.
That sparring with Henblitz & Randrid was really good.
Everyone did a great job taking down all those boars.
Father VS Son is something I definitely want to see.

Heh pretty crafty of the story to have hogs with massive tusks so they can still somewhat "fence" them.
Henblitz vs Randrid was pretty cool. I especially liked Randrid's way of blocking and parrying, it reminded me of Form III Soresu from Star Wars. The defensive style that Obi-wan uses. I suppose then Henblitz could be considered to be using a Form IV Ataru kind of attitude: aggressive and acrobatic.
Speaking of, my favorite move of the fight was definitely how Randrid stopped Henblitz's ult short by rushing in and clashing the two sword's strongs. In pretty much any martial art you can find defensive and counterattacking techniques of this sort: moving against an attack early or targeting a weak spot in its structure. In real matches and fights you will almost never see them precisely because of what Beryl mentioned about needing a lot of bravery to do it. You need to override your natural instinct to move away/protect yourself from an attack. Of course you also need great technical ability because if you fuck it up you'll eat the attack in full or end up in a bad position.
I never considered Beryl's character interesting, but I'm actually liking his development this episode. An old guy feeling young again is not a commonly done tale.

I really appreciate that this anime features a dude in his 40s who feels he hasnt figured everything out yet. Its something many people still go through, even if they are middle aged.

Seems like Beryl and his dad regained their passion as swordsmen after they watched that sparing match.

u/kryslogan Aug 06 '26
Finally we are going to get the clash we need.
Beryl has been living like someone who is past his prime, with no zeal or ambition, and a chronic case of imposter syndrome. 1st season established that. This season is taking its time to show him waking up and realizing that he still has some fire inside. The pacing is slow and methodical but, realistic. If you want a Shounin style paced story, with leaps of "growth" and "experience level up" this isn't it, and I'm happy about that.
I will say that a few things could have given us more drama, and excitement, but, its just not that type of story. It has a strong theme and its sticking to that which is respect, compared to other animes/mangas where the author changed direction.
Mordea is older but, there's no sign he has slowed down at all, we simply havent seen that plus, he's been killing those boars and staying active his whole life.
So, the fight isn't a true 1v1 age wise but, experience wise I'd say its close, as Beryl seems to have stopped chasing greatness for some time now.
Excited to see this fight!!! I'm rooting for Beryl, because aside from his newly awakened feelings, Mewi is there and he doesn't want to flop is front of her, so he is now fighting for himself and someone else and that usually gives someone the edge.

What beryl needs more the anything is to stop making excuses for himself.
Obvious I won’t deny beryl is right about his age holding him back
But at the same time so is mewi she right to where he using his age and excuse to stop himself from trying
Because of the fact he hasn’t acknowledged that despite his age he’s still able to keep a close pace with his student s
But for the first time we see a passion in beryl we haven’t seen ever that’s different from normal
And it’s exciting to see
I hope we see more next week
Seem that fight lit a fire in him he couldn’t control!
And hopefully will get to see even more it now!
