The writer is like SABER'S DEBUT, and sort of forgot to give us more incremental storytelling before that, or some comedy/hesitation/incompetence during the fight; something that tells us that Touma is new to this, and needs to be cautious. Instead, he's just demolishing this book monster and immediately plotting out his next move in the mega-arc. It's too fast! He's too good at this!

So, yeah, not sure how COVID contributed to that hasty storytelling?

Oh right I realize I sorta misread what you said, in which case I'm not going to talk about it yet. I don't want people to talk about it. Die needs to experience the insanity to Saber's beginning with a surprise. It won't take that long. If you've seen Saber you know what I'm alluding to.

Anyway I forgot to talk about your story. Um... I love the use of the punchline, just setting up this odd but mundane situation and then BAM, that last section! Really enjoyed it.

Also my friend who dislikes Touma's Fashion (Yes i will defend it!) loved that bit of your post because I had to share it with him.
