It looks like we’re going to be moving forward with the main plot from this episode onward. Pheles’s name being dropped and the mention of Yuji moving on to manipulating his vast storage of power of existence for a fuzetsu are telltale signs that we’re stepping into material from the original light novels.

Of course, it would be rude of me to completely comment on the future episodes and not talk about this one at all. The brief fight that we had was pretty good although it’s difficult to rank anything too high after you’ve seen the movie. I rather liked the music that they played at the end of the episode and I’m hoping that that one’s going to be in the soundtrack.

I actually went into this episode thinking that the flashback was only going to last one episode, but I guess I was proven wrong. I was worried the whole time over how they were planning to conclude this episode properly with the limited amount of time remaining. At the end, I got the ending credits instead of a real conclusion, it really kind of took me by surprise. In hindsight, I guess I should’ve expected it all, but whatever.
