Enjoyable episode. Didn't like this one as much as the last 3.
I wonder if all that training paid off or Ichika simply gets better when fighting but he did a whole lot better considering he had trouble even flying last episode and can't match Houki in his sword skills either.

In the novels

Spoiler:

Ichika's attack also broke a hole in the shield surrounding the arena, since Yukihira is an anti-shield weapon. This was his actual plan the entire time.

Donno why they cut that out in the anime

I was wondering about that too. Thanks for clearing it up.

Spoiler for same reason:

Houki comes out without an IS (I know she doesn't have a personal one like the others) JUST to yell at Ichika? I thought she was more sensible than that. At least Cecilia actually got in her IS and provided support. I'm slightly disappointed, Houki.

It annoyed me too. Although I don't think she could have been of much use in a training IS. That said, I wonder who the Japan representative is. Is it Ichika or....?
