Put it this way: before this episode, Pheles was trumped up as some kind of extremely powerful Tomogara and the possibility of her appearance greatly distressed even Wilhelmina. And then, at the end of episode 12, her entrance was much more dramatic than most of the villains shown in the series so far. Winds blowing, people screaming, all that jazz.
See where I'm going with this?
Now, let's get back to episode 13, which continues the theme. Wilhelmina's shocked (note the repetive "get a grip!" by her whateveryoucallit), Pheles made Shana fly with her deadly punch and speed. It seems that she's just as dangerous as she's trumped to be after all. Action at last, Shana got the beating she's been lacking since episode 1, great and all, right? Well,
suddenly, Madame I-created-the-best-Hougo-in-the-world weakens rapidly, and
just as suddenly, Shana and Wilhelmina took her down in one *single* combo move.
One. Even the idiot twins from the first season took much longer to kill.
That's why I'm a little disappointed really. Not as much as ChrissieXD, since I still think it's pretty fun, but I'd be lying if I go with the rest of you and say I think it's perfect and all.
