It?s trying to add logic to emotion, and it?s maybe exactly the wrong thing to do.

Sounds appropriate for a special called Sword of Logos Saga.

I agree that Kamijo's development seems like more of a reach now. I would've expected him becoming Calibur and joining the Megid to be events dotted throughout those 15 years, but this implies he saw one Kurayami vision and suddenly everything was clear to him, while Hayato and Kento were filled with doubt and took a more realistic amount of time to arrive at their respective conclusions.

However, I ultimately enjoyed this special for filling in the gaps in the lore and showing us what the previous generation of Swordsmen was like. We learn that while Daishinji has been working for SOL longer, as a swordsmith, Ogami became a Swordsman before him. We get to see how Kenshin fit in the group as a cheerful and friendly man just like his protege Rintarou. There's some other stuff here that gets elaborated on in the Buster manga as well.

A Swordsman Killer is going to kill Swordsmen. That's just what Desast does and that's what he was notorious for. He even told Ren in Episode 41 that he was responsible for Kagami's death, but thanks to SOL Saga, we know he killed Shinsen as well.

It's humorous how Kagami's defining trait is that she mostly talks about training to get stronger, like that's something universal to Kenzan users.

You've been consistently writing them for months, you deserve a break. I enjoyed reading them. Whenever you decide to write another fic, it should be when you feel inspired, not to meet expectation.

I can ignore Reika's weird brocon behavior when it's limited to interactions with Ryouga. That's a problem between siblings. It's mostly when that turns violent towards others like Mei that I draw the line. I guess I should commend Uchida for his attempt to push back a little on Fukuda's and Hasegawa's escalation of the Shindais' dysfunction. It's not much, this tea party scene, but I appreciate the sentiment.
