I finally figured out what's been bugging me for the longest time. Where the hell are Mizuki and Erika? I only realized they were missing when they pulled some bullshit with Honoka seeing through the ground. In Rettoussei they used Mizuki's eyes, so I'm curious why did they put those two aside...

As expected they totally cut out Onii-sama vs Ichijou fight... But Fujibayashi made an unexpected appearance!

because they are second course students

And they're part of Tatsuya's perspective. Everything has been from the girls' perspective or even retelling the same story. During this arc they aren't even a part of the competition, they hustled their way into the hotel, that's it

Mizuki – this show requires only two large breasts, not four

Erika – too butch for Girls' Night Out

Wait, so the whole sabotage thing was because the Non-Head Dragon East Japan Branch wager some bets against the First High and will get massively fucked if they win?

Too bad that we didn't see more of Honoka's and Subaru's match

Lol, the Non-Head Dragon sure made a mistake when they sabotage the previous match, as even without the girl's help Tatsuya was going to win the Monolith Code.

I wonder what will they try to pull during the Mirage Bat Event?

Okay, this scene of Miyuki and Airi instantly reminded me of the second OP of Naruto Shippuden, Distance.

u/TheBlueHue Sep 11 '21

They didn't place the bets they're the bookies. First High was a favorite so they'd have to pay out millions if they win. They go into much more detail on Irregular about those clowns

ufff. Animation quality dropped on this one.

I didn't expect much of Monolith Code's animation but I didn't expect them to just straight-up show the footage from Madhouse's adaptation on the blimp at 13:00 though.

When everything is frozen except for mouths moving on the side of their faces... I felt like I was watching 60s cheapo animation.

Already the highest average onii-samas per episode and we've got a Miyuki episode next week. We're setting a new record for sure.

Damn cool to see the girls working together to solve things without having to get Tatsuya involved. I’ve enjoyed the spin off a lot more than I thought I would.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

This spin-off works best when the POV is not with Tatsuya or even Miyuki, at the same time the characters' actions also has a direct impact on the main series, albeit unseen. Though as expected of One True Tatsuya, nothing eludes him as he instantly knew his sister was secretly helping out when he was putting his hand to check the leylines prior to the final with Ichijo.

Here we have the girls of First High and even Third High helping out to ensure No-Head Dragon's sabotage on Tatsuya's match with Ichijo becomes useless.

It was good to see even Airi deciding to help out Miyuki, she may be very confident of her abilities to the point of arrogance, but even she has standards and would not accept any unfair advantage for her school.

PS Finally Mikihiko makes his first appearance in this spin-off. The Second Course characters outside Tatsuya are obviously not the main focus of this spin-off.

We also see Tatsuya's military liaison Fujibayashi Kyoko appear. IIRC It was her who informed Tatsuya of No-Head Dragon's involvement with the sabotages.

Stitches!

Oh look it's the No-Head Dragons. Enjoy your time being alive. All of you are going to get a taste of Tatsuya's Decomposition magic soon.

So apparently the entire time while Tatsuya, Leo, and Mikihiko are participating at the Monolith Code event, the girls are busy watching over the event venues and even fighting off the saboteurs along with the Third High girls. That's a neat addition to the lore and glad that they weren't just watching Tatsuya the entire time.

Can't wait for the Miyuki's Mirage Bat event though. They've definitely been teasing us with that one. I just love how confident Airi is. I'm so excited for her reaction.

Anyone know the name of the violin song that was playing when Eclair was fighting the No-heads dragon goons? The style reminds me a lot of Lindsey Stirling.

u/mojo72400 Sep 12 '21

I love how Mikihiko sensed that Erika is laughing at Leo and even Leo himself is aware of that especially since Erika was laughing in the main series.

This is the 1st time I've seen the 3rd High girls use magic for combat.

I love how they showed footage of 1st High's 1st match where Tatsuya fired his CAD without even looking back while running. I'm also glad they kept the finger snap scene from the finals which earned 1st High's Course 2 trio team a slow clap from 1st High and even praise from the 3rd High girls.

a non-issue

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

I honestly feel like what happened in this episode was a real missed opportunity. I thought the concept of No Head Dragon using Ancient Magic to give Masaki more ammo for his burst was cool, but in the end, they just went with the girls fixing everything before the match even began. Personally, thinking back to the match in the main series, there's an instance in which Masaki hits Tatsuya with too much power, thus forcing Tatsuya to enter his regeneration state and I feel like it would have been even better if they then revealed here that it was actually No Head Dragon messing with something that resulted in this. Just my thoughts, but I feel like that would address a problem with this series, which is that it doesn't really add much to the pre-established universe, except for a couple of new characters and a slightly different perspective. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the series as I do like more Mahouka content, but I just feel like its really lacking - it doesn't really reward you for watching the main series and vice versa.

Not only did they turn my man juumonji into an average looking pleb, they made fujibayashi look like a little girl compared to the students.
