Awesome combat, showcasing a lot of the great stuff that put Nanoha on the map from the start. When Nanoha faced off against Einhart I was just waiting for that barrage; she may be fast, quick thinking and have a broad range of skills, but still it's obviously those sudden massive torrents of raw power that draw in the crowds. Corona's skill was unexpected and pretty cool. Though she at least needs to come up with a better way to use that super-punch; in real battle, you're screwed if you're forced to use a move that leaves you puking and unsure of which way's up. Maybe make it so that only the torso spins while base and head both remain motionless.
The one thing that distracted me ever so slightly from the fighting is that this episode had more panty shots than any before it. Especially with Corona, and of course Lutecia (whose open-fronted costume pretty much makes it no longer a "shot"). For some reason this made me think of another series with Tamura Yukari, Cube Cursed Curious, in which, opposite of this, heavy combat was the only part that wasn't inundated with underwear.
In any case, next episode we finally get to see the Breakers. And I believe this is Tea's first time, which should be cool. Wonder how many people will wind up one-hit KO'ed here. All I can say is that as badly beat up as she was Einhart will only here learn just why the leaders have to have severe power limits placed on them. I'd like to see that moment of realization following the Starlight Breaker, when she remembers Nanoha's fighting at a fraction of full power and wonders just what would happen if she really went all-out. Not to mention what she might think if she finds out Vivio took five of them at full force simultaneously when she was six.
