I don't see how "Pull back for now" after they got their asses kicked by a sentient sword is a "second rate villain line" but go off I guess.

Oh Fish reminded me though, I was so busy gushing about Yuri as a character I didn't gush about Saikou Shadow! While I was not expecting the filter to last much longer, I do like that they are sticking to the Shadow Body being just that. Not to mention how whenever Saikou reacts, we see the sword itself reacting and not the Shadow body.

It's just a way to wield Saikou more efficiently, and everyone is so used to striking at a human shape, that they forget in this case the person is the sword. Gotta love hitboxes am I right? I just loved how Legiel was throwing everything he had at Shadow, only for everything to pass through as it got closer to swing the actual person in charge.
