Well you know what they say, the journey is just as important as the destination.

That being said, ah right the usual second opening change over and really the only vocal opening in the series to not be done by Jam Project. EMG was pretty low on my Jam Project OP list anyway, so I will agree I do like the changeover to the new OP tbh. I also like the visuals, really nice if I'm being honest.

As for this episode... probably my favorite Gina episode? There's just something nice about us getting a detour with her and her showing her chops as she completes the trial and stuff. This episode and if I recall, a few other moments later is why she currently is like fighting at like 2nd place with Sophie for like my favorite of the main cast. Which would clue you in that Sword lands at #4, which isn't a bad thing. Dude's pretty solid but I do think the showstealers this time are his supporting Main Cast members.

Also it's cool to see how Makai Alchemists/The Makai Order go about things and how they have specific villages where their kind gathers, etc. They definitely have a much cozier life than everyone in Carved Seal of Flames in which it was just the Witch Hunts but with Knights and Alchemists.
