Episode was okay. But damn does Hurricane Dragon look cool. The upgrade looks awesome in green and from the magazine scans I've seen it looks even better in blue. My biggest gripe is that using copy for 2 swordguns was only awesome the first few times. Now using it as the opening move every time he uses a dragon style has gotten old. Get a new move.

Sub thoughts:

Man, Shunpei's OCD is a terrifying thing to unleash.

Also, Valkyrie is much more troll-ish than most of the other Phantoms have been thus far.

Yes Shunpei, you can do something, and that something is "get taken hostage"

I also want one of those holders for your cel phone they're advertising if you go see Ultimatum in the theaters. They're awesome. :)

This episode just proved one thing to me.
Wizard needs more Shunpei.

You have got to be joking. I can handle him in small doses but he doesn't need to be front and center, ever again.

Please.
Shunpei should be the main character. Haruto and co should all play second fiddle to him.
They should give him a story where his Phantom regenerates and gives him the ability to perform magic.

Not sure if trolling... :eyebrow

I have to ask you this, Matrixbeast-are you a hipster?

I'm being honest.
Shunpei is the only interesting character, especially when he's not playing manservant to the most uninteresting main character ever.
I'll probably be begging for less Shunpei with Haruto shows any goddamn interest in his own fucking show.

I'll give him this, Shunpei IS the most interesting supporting character, if only by default. Nobody else in the supporting cast seems to have any aspirations or goals. I suppose the little doll girl would like to be cured but they've done NOTHING with that. Shunpei at least has a reason for hanging around(unlike Rinko). He wants to be a wizard. He can't be. He's the only person on the show with any internal conflict.

I thought it was a good misdirect on who the gate is. At first it seems like it was Shunpei's friend then its revealed that its actually the shop owner who's the gate.

And Hurricane Dragon looked cool and that other ring probably is for the dragon wings on the previews.
