In general, Ice pillars break is a game that contests all of Miyuki's strongest aspects of magic. And considering Miyuki's overall level, most likely no one in the entire Mahouka magic world is able to beat her at this game. I'm not sure who has the edge in speed, but that doesn't really come into play when you're unable to affect the opponents area. It's not really even a close match, depending on the strategy it would be a complete blowout. Well, at least if Miyuki is unsealed, but the overall picture wouldn't be all that different even with a sealed Miyuki. Masaki would simply be able to take out more blocks while his area gets overrun. The more interesting match in concept is between Tatsuya and Masaki, even though that would probably end in Masaki's magical exhaustion. Or between Katsuto and Miyuki, which would end in the same manner with Katsuto being the one depleting his psions reserves first. That magic of Masaki is not Rupture but it does control liquids. Without even taking into account that his IS is not enough to take on Miyuki's area with this spell, his own area would be gone in the 30-60 seconds it takes to cast this. Ice pillars break is basically a contest of pure magical power. So, Miyuki > Katsuto > Lina/Minoru --> etc. |

I will just share few more details and details on magic by Gu Jie and Tatsuya's tracking magic.
Spoiler for Vol.19 spoiler:
With Tatsuya's ES and decomposition, he can eliminate any target in long distance. Seems like, idiots at Yotsuba never had a chance against Tatsuya from the day one. However, do you guys think Yakumo's motoi or Kudou's Parade may be able to avoid Tatsuya's ES? In the Visitor Arc, Tatsuya's ES was not effective against Parade, but according to vol.19, Tatsuya can only use 50% of ES capacity because he always spends other 50% of ES capacity on Miyuki. It would be very interesting if Tatsuya can use 100% of ES capacity on Yakumo or Kudou Minoru / Lina. |

Thank you for the additional info. It's always nice to know the references author took. I think Tatsuya still has very tough fight against Ancient magicians. CMIIW, Yakumo's technique is capable to mask the info in Ideo Dimension. ES (or magicians generally) still need to retrieve data/info from Ideo Dimension to translate it on how to rewrite physical phenomena using magic sequence which filled with psion. If we make an analogy, magic sequences just like a formulas while psion is media to execute that formula. Since it's formula, magician still needs the magic calculation area to define how much the value of variables needed to overwrite the phenomena. So against the techniques which capable to mask info in Ideo Dimension, it's still hard to defeat, not impossible but still hard. Btw, all above is just my speculation so it's prone be error. |

In Mahouka, big names such as Kamo, Tsutsimikado, and Hieizan showed up but no one were introduced from these organizations. So far, only traditional magician who is strong enough to push Tatsuya to the corner ,would be Yakumo. Personally, there are two things that I really want to see from Mahouka: a young traditional magician version of Miyuki / Minoru and a super strong traditional magician (some kind of sage) as Tatsuya's teacher. |

Thanks for the spoilers. I wonder what plans Yotsuba sponsor has for Tatsuya in the future. I have a suspicion that Tatsuya might end up being involved the magical world outside Japan, being entangled in the affairs, politics and conflict in the International Magic Association for the sake of acquiring even more data for the Yotsuba sponsor. And the sponsor might even be able to convince Tatsuya that doing so would be in Miyuki's interest. There are only so many experiments that can be run and Tatsuya can be lured into, within the confines of Japanese soil after all.... Of course, this hinges on a speculation that the Yotsuba sponsor is to the International Magical Association, what Kudou Retsu is to the Japanese magical community. But I do think that the prospects of Tatsuya being entangled in conflicts beyond Japan may well be a reality in later volumes, and would be the catalyst for Tatsuya and Lina's path to intersect; and for Lina to play the role Miyuki intuitively predicted that she would play in the lives of both of the siblings, when seeing Lina off Japan at the end of the visitor arc. Lina cannot come to Japan. But it may well be that the Yotsuba sponsor is the means by which Tatsuya ends up in the USNA for... a visit. |

It does mean that he would be able to deal with Parade much more easily at full capacity however since it was very hard for him to keep Lina in sight at 50%. |

He needed to prove and show that Gu Jie is the terrorist. Disabling him would result in him killing himself. He got hit by something similar to gram demolition. I don't think he was able to block that.
I think even with 100%, the bigger problem in parade is that you have to find the real target while fighting. This might take too much concentration. Last edited by Medivh; 2016-03-22 at 05:58. |

TrueAlchemist's spoiler mention that Yakumo doesn't think Toudou is "just a sponsor of the Yotsuba" like he claims as well. Outside of Tatsuya I don't see any of the Yotsuba going against Toudou (not even Miyuki unless he is taken away form her, she's reporting to Maya behind Tatsuya's back already, where did you think he was getting his precious data from?). |

Totally different situations. If somebody intends to take the only person that you love away from you how would you react? Keep in mind you are a mad woman obsessed with vengeance on one hand and a completely obsessed bro-con on the other.

Also, Toudou haven't mentioned anything about separating them. He's just interested in his research data on Tatsuya's abilities and Miyuki/Maya are the best placed to provide that information right now. I'm starting to suspect that Kazama's little mission in Steeplechase might have been "sponsored" by Toudou now though. Which is mighty interesting because Yakumo didn't look like a fan. There is also Erika's thinking twice that Tatsuya was being used has bait (once in the Yokohama's arc, that was Kazama's doing) and the other time in the Visitor arc (Tatsuya was thinking Koichi was behind it, Erika just said "that man", but what if it was Toudou that had someone watch over Tatsuya for the USNA, just like he had Yakumo watch over him in vol 19?). |

^ Now you mentioned it, Tatsuya indeed knows there are people behind Yotsuba. Iirc, it was indicated when Tatsuya talked with Miyuki during 9SC in hotel room. Defeating Yotsuba won't end of their suffering, there will be someone who nastier than Yotsuba appears.
That's why Tatsuya was obedient with Yotsuba. However Tatsuya has no way to know who the sponsor is. |
