Well, that's mostly J.C Staff's fault

She probably never had a need to use them before. Since This guy is the strongest she is throwing everything she has at him. I wonder when Pheles shows up ( if she ever does).

I want to see how her powers compare to Sabrac.

Well, in episode 4, didn't Wilhelmina fly and land on Yuji's balcony during Shana's rather jealous hehavior regarding Konoe?

are Sabrac's long-range attacks flame-based or lightning based?

if it were flame-based, the Azure would have been useful.

Yuji should've lended Blutsauger to Wilhelmina.

Everything is flame base in the shana world, unless its specified otherwise... but PoE skills are Flame Based.

Damn though, Sabrac is just insanely powerful. Can attack out of nowhere, inflict heavy damage that continues to get worse with time and has great defense. Total support to Carmel for standing strong even with that kind of opponent on her heels.

If Shana and Margery are going to do anything it will need to be sooner rather than later. Since if the wounds are just getting worse....

Well should at least be interesting to see what they do in this situation. Guy is just completely overwhelming. Definitely don't want to be on his list of people to kill.

I was amused by what initially appeared to be Shana and Wilhelmina shielding themselves from the initial attack while Yuji just hung on a string screaming his head off. Well, it turned out not to be the case, but at the time...


And someone finally tells him to stfu with the screaming. Yes, his alarm is justified, but this is amusing nonetheless.

Well this episode was all about Wilhelmina The manipulator of objects. She used abilities that we have never seen before but hell up till now she has not had a need to. No one else in the group could be of any use none of them have ever faced Sabrac before. The only thing that Wilhelmina had in her favor was experience from previous battles most of which she barely escaped with her life. However she did a suburb job at distracting Sabrac and throwing him off his plan several times which allowed 2 or 3 good hits in didnt do much but allowed Yuuji to escape to the sewers. That wound is getting worse I surely hope she is not taken out but if she did go she put up one hell of a fight. This is the most iv ever seen her fight and as Skyfall said the most we have seen her fly

The Destructive Blade Sabrac himself was as fearsome as we were lead to believe. His voice was perfect and the BGM through the entire fight scene kept your attention. This is one fearsome SOB to actually hide that many swords within a flame thats like tidal wave maintain his ultimate defense and use an unrestricted spell to inflict the Stigma injury truly impressive. I also like how his techniques were definetly that of an assassin quick unpredictable, No wasted movement, and always the element of surprise. Two things that struck me with him was when he mentioned he lost a sword and he would need to get another from somewhere, where does he get his swords from what power does he use to call them forth. Second is that cloak of his. For some reason i feel like part of his defense is cloak. But as they said he really is a monster but a bad ass one at that. Everything he said he said it calmly and that just made his character even darker with that voice.

Right now its going to take all of them to bring him down. The problem everyone except Yuuji is injured. They cant retreat he will hunt them down 1 by 1 there is no where to go they have to fight the key will be using Yuuji's abilities which he doesn't seem to know anything about, Magerys unrestricted spells, Wilhelmina knowledge and speed and Shana's speed and power but again none of them are at full strength. Yuuji seems to feels something around him maybe that can be of use if they figured out what. But this is a guy that not even Pheles has been able to beat and the last time they fought Johan was sent to be pushing daises.

Great episode one of the best in a while i feel like almost everything was on point animation, BGM, Fight scenes and dialog.
9/10

Well, that was one great battle. I loved Sabrac and all of his moves, although the lack of emotion did kind of get to me after a while. I'm not a fan of Wlhelemina's attacks/style, so I didn't like how she was the main focus...

This episode got bonus points for Kazmi's appearence. Use the hougu, become phele's flame haze, and start a new life with Yuji! Marriage awaits you if you use it!

That's impossible as using the hougu means you die right away. You don't even get to be a tourch.

Or is it a lie crafted by Pheles to test Kazumi's will?


Oh, and this episode gets an 8. Lots of fighting, which is nice for this series, but it seemed to be lacking on plot.

Pheles wouldn't stand for being a Flame Haze sponsor. She wants to be with her lover, not stuck nobly "preserving the balance" as a FH.

Speaking of that, though, why didn't Pheles just give the hougo to Yuji, anyway? He certainly has plenty to spare, and he's got enough initial durability to cover most attacks until he activates it...

It was a good fight, but yeah, I was a little annoyed at how everyone else sat out of the fight.

Ha @ Sabrac's "errr... I finally got Yuji. Now what am I supposed to do?"

I don't know. She seemed to be against tomogara who disrupted the balance and traveled with her lover and Wilhelmina. From what the anime suggested, she could very well have a nobel cause and maybe be fighting because Johan asked her to protect the balance. Flame Haze sponser would be perfect in those regards.

Can Unrestricted Methods made by their creators be "borrowed for use" by others?
I see the Fuzetsu being used by so many. Perhaps Yuji or someone could mimic the Stigma and use it against Sabrac?
