I'm glad that they're able to show more of Fleur/Elena's competency, considering they're supposed to be the aces even before Ao showed up.
That's what saved the episode for me. Guardian Enzo makes sense with why he thinks Ao is a good protagonist, but his actions are one thing. His personality is another, and quite frankly, it isn't really that interesting. I'm not going to go so far as to say I think he's as boring as most of the characters in Fate/Zero (dance, my biased views, dance), as I do like how the adults treat him, and I do like how his actions do have minor consequences. But it doesn't excuse the fact that I think he's almost a male version of a genki girl.

With that said, the episode wasn't focused on him all that much, and I did like how Ivica got an episode to himself, even if I thought his backstory was presented poorly. And as said above, I like how he couldn't contribute much to the enemy's defeat.
