Spoiler for ep 2:

He seems to be pretty unfazed by all the weird and unusual things happening around him, he immediately knows how to use magic and has perfect control over it, he also knows how to use a gun properly, etc... and "huh, time is out of joint or somesuch" is not exactly an acceptable explanation for all this. Having him easily trash someone who is supposed to be a much more experienced fighter than he is would've been a pretty serious stretch for me. (Obviously if there's a plot reason for Yoshino being like this then it's fine, but so far it doesn't seem to be the case.)

Spoiler for includes details on how the manga dealed with the scene:

In the manga he didn't use magic that much, he only used it to push Evangeline and while she was surprised he took the opportunity to take her gun with physical force. And he never used the gun (in fact you could argue that maybe he didn't know how to use it but managed to threat her to such an extent that she really thought he could do it)
