Unsure! But it's definitely one of those things where a decent chunk of people use it.

Congrats on your 2300th post!

Thanks to Fish digging up those magazine pics, looks like it was officially confirmed after all, just never used in the show. So yeah, we may as well keep using it.

Which, y'know, didn't work out great for Touma, but still!

Mei's a lot smarter than people give her credit for, so it was nice for Touma to acknowledge her as a good editor. Mei was so disappointed when Yuri literally dragged her away from her own plan to infiltrate Southern Base.

The TWISTS part first: Calibur?s back! From a dark portal! To stop Primitive Dragon from killing X-Swordman and maybe Mei! It?s probably Kento, but that?s almost irrelevant right now. It?s a mystery that?ll probably percolate for a little while (it was, like, a dozen episodes before we found out who Calibur was last time), and I?m sure I?ll have plenty of opportunities to react to it.

I mean, Primitive Dragon can't really kill X-Sword-Man. Incapacitate, probably, but the man beneath the suit is only a hardlight projection made by his sword. As long as Kougouken Saikou exists, Yuri lives.

Time to play Who's Calibur? Part 2. There are two main suspects here. First is Kento, who was last seen being absorbed by Kurayami's curse upon his death. Second is returning suspect Tassel, who was surprisingly absent from his house at the end of this episode and must have been in a hurry as he neglected not only to do his usual outro but also to close his door.

Like, sometimes one family needs to be two families to keep from being no family, you know? Ogami?s making the hard choice today to make good choices from now on.

I like how Ogami shows his character development here. In his introduction, he stubbornly insisted that he knew best and made light of Touma's love of books, but now he's actively confronting his choices and seeking wisdom from his son Sora, which is an impressive quality for any father. He wanted to encourage Rintarou and Ren to think for themselves, like Touma and Daishinji did, but they needed an example to follow and Ogami sticking around was only holding them back. I think he was right to give them that space to decide on their own, even if it meant he had to hurt their feelings by formally declaring his defection from SOL to Team Saber. Rintarou's reaction was expected, politely respecting Ogami's choice while deep down he was heartbroken. Even Ren's resolve faltered a little there.
