God, what a fantastic episode. The fighting scenes were so excellently animated, and I love the whole “she’s not as good at magic as me, nor is she as powerful, but she can beat me because she’s faster” thing. That’s so cool!
Fran was the real winner of this episode, and I have to assume the next episode will be Frieren’s chance to get a really cool win again.
Poor Stark. He’s super strong, but because of his nerves he’s always been an underdog. Even defeating the dragon a couple episodes it was like “wow, I can’t believe such a weak guy’s so strong”. And then this episode, he actually has a chance to show his strength with some confidence, but keeps getting knocked down because of his master’s moves. He wins in the end, but easily comes out with the most hits of anyone, including the two losers of the battles lol
A lot of the damage Stark receives in this fight is ultimately his own fault. He was finally able to end the fight by committing to a finishing blow and accepting some pain in return. He could have done that at any time if he had the confidence. I kind of like how Stark’s self confidence wasn’t fixed by one event (even if it was slaying a dragon). These kinds of hang-ups aren’t fixed easily and take time (at least from a human perspective).
Agreed on Fern being the winner of this episode though. She was stone cold the whole fight sequence. Would this be the magical equivalent of a zerg rush?
