The leader of the Golden cabal wore a witch hat and cloak over a brightly-colored old Scottish military uniform. Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers’s scarf flapped in the night wind and his fire wand, water cup, wind dagger, and earth disc Symbolic Weapons floated around him…but he had not used them to produce some special paranormal phenomenon.

You know, despite it being the biggest departure from Haimura's designs, I love it. Not only does he look intimidating and grandiose as hell, but his design is surprisingly fitting for all of his accomplishments and the like. The color symbolism of his outfit's various pieces matching the colors of his spiritual items really goes to show off one of the men who made western magic accessible to the layman.

She did not care if she was being arrogant or insolent. Nor did she care if she had been trembling like a scared child a moment before. Even if it was a bluff or a trick, all that mattered was that she could gather strength in her legs and stand up to face her unforgivable nemesis once more.

Aleis-tan has some nice bounce-back ability there.

In the brief moment that the contrast between the dark night and the bright flames had confused Mathers’s vision, the spiky-haired high school boy named Kamijou Touma ran straight toward him and aimed his right fist dead center on Mathers’s face.
|
I love how Kamijou's first instinct is to use cover and just punch straight in the face. Nice and simple (and I guess given how little he knows of the situation, fitting).

Was this thanks to the man’s experience losing his life to a different form of Imagine Breaker in the past?
|
That answers whether he's aware of Imagine Breaker's presence there.

“Ignore him.” Aleister snapped her fingers. “This is the guy who baselessly claimed to be the Count of Glenstrae, descendent of the highlanders. You needn’t pay any attention to his meaningless dramatics. …And have you forgotten what I said, Mathers? Each individual success and failure is not what matters. It is the big data built from it all that will trap you and leave you defenseless.”
|
He also played chess with the gods apparently, but you never told us what the results were, Aleister.

And there's Dion Fortune. Something something naked under her robes.

A beam of light very nearly grazed Kamijou and then the tip of a Westminster Abbey steeple was torn away and vaporized. The Crowley’s Hazards’ flesh and guts poured down and a portion of the roof began to collapse.
Hadn’t the Golden cabal been sent here to protect England?
Were they uncontrollable once released?
Or were they the ones who secretly ruled this country from the shadows?
|
Has anyone jobbed more than the Crowley's Hazards did in that one moment?
Quote:
“Accelerator, we’re counting on you!!”
“Tch.”
After a single tongue click, an explosive boom erupted. Academy City’s #1 used his vector control to kick off the graveyard ground and that white shadow snatched up Kamijou in his right arm and Aleister in his left.
|
Accelerator's so tsundere.
Quote:
Small Othinus lightly kicked Kamijou’s cheek while standing on his shoulder. She was warning him not to let his emotions influence him here.
“(Didn’t Aleister say you didn’t have to stick with her to the end and you could jump off whenever you thought it was time? She’s already changing what she expects of you.)”

Othi-tan being based as usual.

“Well, you two?” asked Aleister. “Doesn’t that sound like the perfect place to fight back against a swarm of zombies?”
|
Seems like an odd location to do so, having been there before, myself.

Several of them had participated in a magical ceremony much like a stage play in which they each wore clothing and carried Symbolic Weapons appropriate for their role and used curses and took actions in a specified order.
|
I have to admit, the stage play motif is quite solid.

His name was Tatemiya Saiji and he served as the substitute pontiff of the Amakusa Church.

He liiiiiiives! He must have awakened his hidden potential and prevented Itsuwa from becoming a murderer!

Itsuwa tried to make sense of the scene before her while she cautiously raised her collapsible spear and viewed the bizarre mixture of London and Egypt.

ITSUWAAAAAAAA! <3

The woman wore a long dress designed not to stand out much and a monocle with a practical design. She looked a lot like a tutor in an old picture book. The strangest part about her would be the long white and black clubs resting over her shoulders. She looked 20 at the oldest and she spoke to the elderly man who appeared to have lived three times her age.
|
I want to see more Haimura designs for the Golden Dawn magicians so badly.
Quote:
“Wh-what do we do, Tatemiya-san!?”
Itsuwa began to raise her collapsible spear, but then she unnaturally stopped.
|
Keep being precious. That is what you must do.
Quote:
Everything burst into motion.
Not just Itsuwa’s spear. Many other Amakusas stood around them, so their swords, spears, axes, hammers, staffs, chains, and other weapons rushed in from both sides to protect the girl.
|
Oh, hey. It's their focal point tactics from OT16. Haven't seen that in a while.

These two were only adlibbing and this was not what they had said just a minute ago.

Yep. Definitely loving the stage play motif.

That was a monster or fairy that mothers had invented to warn their children. If a mother found a child carelessly approaching a forbidden area, they would frighten them and warn them away just like those two had. Running across the Boogieman was bad news, but they were useful since they kept the children from attempting dangerous things.

So, in this case, like a weird combo of a people-clearing field and the Fake News demon.
