Good to know Tatsuya made progress in this case. From getting info to more about potentially finding the murder cuplrit to uncovering a bigger plot, this episode felt really important for the overall arc.

Episode felt very tense though..not knowing exactly who to trust. I guess they're pushing everything into the season finale from this episode's buildup. Tatsuya always felt something ominous from the start with his usual instincts.

Best girl Mayumi's joined the fray.

While investigating the base of the Traditionalists in Kyoto with Minoru's guidance, Tatsuya's group met a Traditionalist who owned a restaurant near Sanzen-in Temple. The owner expressed his concern about the hidden state of the Traditionalists in Kyoto. Acting on this information, Tatsuya headed to Arashiyama with Mayumi, who was determined to find Nakura's killer. With Minoru absent, Masaki also joined Tatsuya and Miyuki on this mission.

Mayumi asked Masaki if he knew why she was in Kyoto. Tatsuya assured her that he would never disclose anything to Masaki without her permission. Despite Tatsuya's reassurances, Mayumi's eyes still showed concern. Noticing this, Tatsuya asked her if she could explain the situation, as he believed they might need to rely on Masaki.

Just one episode to tie up everything... okay sure lol.

Only one more ep left of peak please gimme that next season or a movie and adapt the whole of part 1.

We’re finally closing in on the big confrontation with Zhou and we have an idea of his abilities and whereabouts now. This finale is gonna be fire. I’m a little worried about Tatsuya going in there alone though. Yea he’s op and all, but Zhou’s disorientation abilities, experience and ancient magic are gonna be tricky. Let’s see what my goat Tatsuya got cooked up.

Good seeing Ichijo back with the gang, one of my fave side characters. He and Miyuki came in clutch against the puppet assassins.

Any Mayumi screen time, however brief is always welcome 😍 . Wish it were under better circumstances though. RIP Nakura, we gotta get it back in blood.

Really curious about what Tatsuya saw with his elemental sight. Must have been some really messed up stuff going on inside Minoru that’s causing him to get ill.. gotta respect Tatsuya’s restraint in not using that more often. I mean it literally gives him access to any magical family’s root? All their strengths and weaknesses. That’s crazy.

Hype for next week.

Damm Minoru sure is popular across both genders. Minami's bedwatching duty really proved to be a great opportunity for her. The joint investigation with Mayumi and Masaki really was pretty interesting. And their backup proved timely during that ambush. Rupture certainly isn't a pretty spell but its damm effective at dealing with enemy personal. Tatsuya's solo storming of the ancient stronghold sure was fun.

Miyuki pushing the incest agenda in public again lol

Minami has all the time in the world to stare at her crush now.

Man Miyuki really knows how to be a clingy girlfriend.

Looks like we will get a big fight next ep, nice!

PS: I really have to give the animation here some credit, there is a surprising attention to detail. Like when Mayumi held her skirt down.

I also though the fights in this episode was kinda cool. So you may just cry by yourself. Not everything is for you.

Don't be dumb, a show having constant exposition dumps isn't good writing, doesn't help that all the meetings could be quickly explained instead their bloated to take time. Stop trying to act pretentious.

Come to think of it, this might be the 2nd anime which casted Nakamura Yuuichi (voice actor of Tatsuya) in which the story where
.
Anyway, it kind of interesting that in this arc, the Yotsuba clan through Tatsuya and the Kudou clan are working together. We all know that the Yotsuba family is the main family of the Number 4 family and 4 in japanese/chinese also has a pronunciation the same as the word for 'death'. On the other side, we have the head of the Number 9 family, the Kudou clan, Ku is another pronunciation for 9 (kyuu) and also has the same pronunciation for the word for pain/anxiety/suffering/anguish. These 2 families representing death and pain really are bent to getting their hands on Zhou Gongjin's head this arc.

A really tense episode. I wonder what Tatsuya saw in Minoru’s body when he used Elemental Sight cause it kinda spooked him and he was badass at the last part. Soloing those traditionalists as he should. Next week is the final episode. I really hope we see them capture Zhou

Minami watching over Minoru and getting easily flustered was very cute. =3

My curiosity is peaked in wanting to know what Tatsuya saw when he used Elemental Sight on Minoru. It must be something serious if it's enough to make even Tatsuya looked very shocked. Either way, it was enjoyable in watching everyone take down more Traditionalist enemies before Tatsuya stayed behind to do things on his own.

Hopefully this way, he'll be able to find and finally sort out the elusive Zhou Gongjin next time.

Wish they did a closeup on that Mayumi skirt flip lol.

What did Tatsuya see inside Minoru. What got him make a face like that? Finale will be a duel between Tatsuya and Zhou? Just one episode to wrap this up seems kinda odd.

Nice of them to add that intro, it was quite hilarious. 🤣

Ichijo falling for Miyuki so bad. 😂

Minami falling in love more for Minoru. 😆

Then MAYUMI!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Hmm, they didn't tell what Tatsuya found within Minoru's body with that elemental sight.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

So we got some really nice fights this episode, which doesn't make up for the fact that they had Tatsuya look at Minoru's psions and then ... just left that entire plot point hanging.

I low key regret picking up this series, I had to go through 2 seasons in the past to get here. S1 was great except for the Alabama angle.

S2 was okay ish but this season has not really done it for me to be honest. IDK if I'm expecting too much or what, a lot of the danger stuff didn't scale even though they have hell of a villain for this final arc.

No wait what? Tatsuya can also show expressions like a normal average human? That's a news.

By the way yeah, just a few minutes later they showed him rampaging inside a house or whatever and singlehandedly defeating whoever those people were.. so I take my words back of comparing him to an average human. This feels like a proper build up for another rushed as fuck horrid ending though.

tatsuya teaming up with ichijo, mayumi & miyuki ain't a bad combo. i think those four together is hella powerful, but if you add mikihiko, leo and erica to the mix, they'll form a tough team, but tatsuya & ichijo will still be their main vanguard & leo will be behind 'em lol

I think this episode made me realize why Onii-sama more boring than better overpowered protagonists. While Rimuru or Momonga use lots of different spells to overpower their opponents, Onii-sama just punches them or, even worse, points their finger at them. Doesn't help that he's pretty much only has been fighting fodder enemies this season.

This is probably my least favourite of the arcs that's been covered so far — Double Seven and Steeplechase were heavily cut, but much more engaging. Maybe it's because seeing monk dudes in kasas getting beaten up for five episodes gets a bit boring after a while.

Insane how much they rely on cliffhangers this season. First they don't divulge what is wrong with Kudou's grandsons Psions, and now they made the last scene seem like the real start of battling Zhou while there's only one more episode left. It all totals up to the fact that we'll see the gist of the plot, action and fighting next season, which will most certainly make it a painful but hyped up wait.

Ok Am I watching the Irregular at magic Highschool s3 or Chouch Surfers, the Animation? For Real the shows qualits has dropped massively. Every episode is characters talking about random bullshit while sitting on couches. I used to be a fan of the show but this is becoming increasingly more painful to endure. I'll have to drop the show unfortunately.

@NimbleBard48 that flashback was supposed to be in season 2 where Erika found out that Tatsuya might me from Yotsuba and it's heavily cutted from season 2.
I literally watch season 2 only for that moment but they change the story by not including Erika's big bro, Naotsugu, into the story.
