But yeah I really liked Tsubaki's brother as a villain. A good guy that just walked down a dark path until he became someone that had to be stopped. If he realized that and let Tsubaki take his soul he'll stay right up there. Hard to tell if Tsubaki got a hit that killed him or that when he touched her soul he realized he had misunderstood her.

Don't think it was coincidence that she got her brother's ability. Probably during that realization he decided to do the only things he could for his sister. Recognize her true feelings, give her his soul, and along with it his weapon.

The manga improved my opinion of him slightly. I still think he's an example of how power and ambition shouldn't be used, but he's entertaining in a teeth-grittingly annoying kind of way. Also, him and Tsubaki as a team are lovely.

I love this team, mostly because they embody one of my favorite pairings: Naruto & Hinata.
The characters fit the motif flawlessly, with the exception that Tsubaki actually has the guts to stand up to her partner at points which I actually applaude her for since someone has to knock the idiot down a peg. The interact the same way I always invisioned my ideal pairing would, opposite who draw off each other to at least somewhat balance out the flaws in their characters. Just look at the mini-arc where they had to capture Tsubaki's brother, nuff said. But aside from my pairing fantasies, they just work together. Definitely as a team, possibly as something more, but the first is all I need in terms of approval. They compliment each other great, they're interesting enough on their own or paired(not necessarily in a romantic sense) with others, and they develop nicely. And there's my two-cents. |

Bit curious about the talk of another presence in Tsubaki. Obviously key to mastering the Fey Blade mode and bringing their strength up another level. Though what that actually means and how they will achieve that is something I'm uncertain about. Latest fight in episode 28 just reflects how great a weapon and character Tsubaki is.
Just nice to see growth with the characters. Unlike episode 2 or even parts of the fight against Tsubaki's brother; Black Star was pretty serious throughout. Wasn't going around talking about how Big he was or goofing off while using Speed Star. Just some straightforward fighting in order to try and win this rematch. Obviously didn't get the result, but good to know when its time to be serious. Tsubaki also did a good job asserting herself at various points. Using the smokebomb when Black Star was in a bad spot and trying to keep both sides from continuing the fight when it was clearly done. Besides some focus on this team in an episode makes a post a worthwhile thing.
