Of course, the audience and even the characters of the show understand that he is greatly mistaken, but the Master Logos himself does not know this.

Master Logos is a fun take on the Unhinged Mastermind villain-type because he thinks anyone opposing him is hilarious. Like, Touma saying that Master Logos doesn't have the right to torture all of humanity -- eternally -- for his own amusement just sounds ludicrous to Logos. Of course he does! Stop being such a weirdo about this, Touma!

It's always nice when these shows can make room for offbeat, character-driven explorations of emotional conflict. Like, just slowing things down enough for Kento to forget all of his brooding posturing and just try and connect with the world, instead of separating from it as a form of self-defense... very fun way of getting at the distance between these two dudes, rather than a hundred screaming fight scenes.

And it also... I really like how we keep getting these hints that the Sword of Darkness has its own agenda? Like, it will always show Kento some horrible thing that's about to happen -- Master Logos attacking -- but it keeps not showing the good things that might/will happen, like Touma showing up with a much-needed picnic. Kento is maybe soon going to start putting the pieces together that he ain't toting around the Sword of Prophecy; he's wielding the Sword of Darkness.
