Touta is a vampire so perhaps he can perceive her blood flow or life force or something. It isn't that unlikely for a vampire to have that ability. He obviously noticed something about Kirie before coming up with his new plan. Of course everyone will call it an ass pull even if it makes sense.

Joking aside, my point was just that Negi would be perfectly justified in going up and pounding it out with Fate under any circumstances, unlike Touta who appears to have some kind of reason for his apparent suicide attack. Quote:

See, the funny thing here is that none of those "defeats" (I don't personally agree, but that's a moot point) never stuck, not like the way it did with Negi. Aside from being saddled with a debt that's been brushed under the rug and for storytelling purposes nonexistant, none of these events triggered anything in Touta to actually change his tune. And why should it? He got to beat Kaito, he got to land the finishing blow on Nagumo, none of the orphans died, and the worst thing that happened was some structural damage to the slums. Aside from turning into a monster and artificially shrugging it off to try and keep that plot thread rolling, the worst thing that happened to Touta outside his backstory is what? Losing his arms a couple of times? He needs to be completely beaten out to actually sit himself down, get his ass in gear, and finally show some semblance of character progression. EDIT: So, uh...things I liked about the chapter? Karin's leg block and the Priestly guy, I guess? Let's see, what else...oh, Kirie can now be UQ Holders garden gnome. That's sorta cool.

To be honest, I'm surprised Toutas as weak as he is. He's commented to be a combat genius by Yukihime herself, he has Negi's genes, and ME to boot. Heck, we should be praising the Werewolf for lasting that long. Quote:

What exactly is he doing wrong here? Should he be angsting over his debt? That'd be really cool. Over the loss of his humanity? Yeah, lets cry about being a monster in front of Yukihime, who gave him everything for the past several years before saving him again. Should he be trying to get stronger? Why, there isn't an enemy to fight or some monster to kill. This is the kind of character Nagi was, and the one Akamatsu originally wanted to write before he was pushed into making Negima a harem comedy.

Even Nagi who played it entirely straight failed in everything he personally wanted to accomplish. He couldn't kill the Lifemaker, he seemingly couldn't protect Arika twice, lost his master, lost his body, and effectively was taken out of commission for ten years leaving his son for all intents and purposes on his own.

Touta now way outclasses Negi in Kyoto. Asuna had to take down Fate's barrier, and Negi did briefly snare Fate. However, Touta now has (1) successfully controlled Magia Erebea, (2) wielded a 500 ton sword, (3) defeated Fate's barrier without assistance, and more.

well fate was more testing him and touta still didn't get full control over his magia erebea he didn't even use it in this battle
actually i want to see how touta will use magia erebea without magic since we saw only negi and eva using it consuming the magic and modified their bodies and stats according to the magic, how will a swordsman that knows nothing of magic use it... |

That said Asuna=500 tons sword + Kuromaru + Kill sat + Karin Sound legit to me. |

I would argue that Negi's strike against Fate(and it was completely ineffectual aside from freaking Fate out) was part blind luck, and part Fate completely writing those two off as a non-factor. Bare in mind, its only Asuna's magic cancel that was a factor rather then any strength/skill she showed there on her part. It is possible to neutralize the barrier, but in Negima it required a technique Negi specifically developed, Kaede's sixteen split simultaneous attack, or just hitting so hard the barrier is rendered irrelevant.
That said, I say that Touta is barely under Negi with a Sim Fabricatus Ab Incendio armationem, since that's the first point Negi could manage to fight Fate without completely getting curb stomped (and he was still too weak to deal a real hit to begin with). Touta is certainly a tougher opponent then Negi prior to his ME training. Quote:
