Still vastly unexcited by Mayu being a generic Mage. And the thing about comparing it to Haruto's dragon sorta works... Until you remember he has those traits because Dragon is his Phantom. So you're saying everyone else will have the exact same Phantom inside of them, thus explaining the claw and tail? I find that highly unlikely... Also the flappy tail is just plain ugly and distracting in her fight scenes.

But, I did like the White Wizard developments. I had long been on board with the White Wizard = Wiseman train, but now I'm not too sure. We see Feuki releasing Cerberus, which is then seen spying on Wiseman... Perhaps it's intentionally misleading, but it does suggest they're different.

That idea has been tossed around before.
But having Cerberus spy on Wiseman would be an unfair misdirection.

If he's even spying at all, Haruto's familiars just seem to wander about, maybe we're just assuming something that isn't going on?

...huh now that I think about it.
The engage ring is styled like the white wizard's helmet.
Wonder if when ever it's used it does something with the white wizard.

Another great set of episodes. Except for the piss poor design of Mayu, these episodes were very enjoyable and it was nice to see someone turn down being a wizard. I do wish that they would finally show us someone becoming a Phantom, but at this point, I doubt that is going to happen. I'm calling right now, I still think the White Wizard and Wiseman are the same person and that he only wants Phantoms to draw out wizards so that he may use them to create the Philosopher's Stone (ie Koyomi's body). Anyway, I hope the remaining 9ish episodes of the series remain to be as great.
