Wizard Episode 22: "The Phoenix's Rampage" Discussion

... The entire fight, I couldn't help but think:

"Okay, cool. Wizard is going to finish off Phoneix once and for all. Okay yeah, dude is just going to come back... OH THANK GOD, it didn't take an episode. Ohhhkay, Haruto? Buddy... you have a new toy to use... No? Oh, you want to drag this into the next episode? Yeah? =/ Bleh."

Other wise, it was refreshing not to have another Gate episode, but overall I'd give this episode of 7.3/ 10

Man that was another really good episode. It feels like the stakes have risen crazy high. I figured Medusa wouldn't have a power great enough to stop Phoenix either. Glad to see her get knocked down a peg or 2. on top of this the fight between Phoenix and Wizard was really great.

I figured the reason why he didn't pull out the Drago Timer was because Shunpei actually broke it

If the reason he didn't pull out the DragoTimer is because Shunpei broke it, I would be really... unimpressed. A magical item that can survive the heat of battle apparently can't survive a grown man's curiosity to fiddle with it. Although that quality should make it interesting for reviewers who cover the DX Drago Timer

Anyways, aside from the odd absence of the DragoTimer in the final fight of the episode, I loved everything. After seeing Kosuke get curious, I'm wondering if Beast will be the one to finish off Phoenix for good. After all, Phoenix may not be able to reincarnate himself if his mana gets absorbed before he has a chance. Whatever the case, I'm really liking how this show has picked up. Haruto is actually, you know, showing emotion, and the plot is going somewhere.

Another great episode. The fight between Wizard and Phoenix was fantastic. Sora is a really fun character, though I hope there's more to him than "secretly is the big bad" or some such.

Loved the episode, really disappointed when it ended... when Haruto uses the Gravity ring on Phoenix, that was probably the coolest bit since the giant dragon foot kick.

I wonder what will finally destroy Phoenix, the DragoTimer or Beast?

I'm thinking Beast.Since Phoenix can continually resurrect it'll be like an infinite food source for Chimera. If he absorbs Phoenix then he won't have to feed any more and problem solved. At this point I'd say that's the only permanent way to kill him. We do see All Dragon Style in next weeks preview but still, all that's going to do is kill Phoenix. It doesn't solve the resurrection problem.

A possible story would be Beast eating Phoenix, but resurrecting inside his underworld.
That'd be pretty neat.

Last week when Rinko told Yugo to just do what he wants I thought that's really a bad thing to say to this guy and true enough Rinko kinda paid for it.

And we have a Kizaki sighting this episode I thought he would be more relevant in the show than he has so far.

Fedora Phantom really is an interesting character. You don't know which side he really is on. Is he following Wiseman's orders? Is he working on his own? You just don't know his agenda right now.

And I liked how Mayonnaise practically mooched food off of Haruto and Shunpei. Well he is kind of a hobo so I guess that's his only way to get food.

I think that Fadora might not be a ohantom, but an evil wizard, because in the episode when Haruto meet fadora, Fadora did not say if he was a phantom or not
