Damn, this turned more than just a personal fight. Will's decision to join the Magic Festival just reinforces more about how determined he is to prove himself. He does have a team assembled though. Among participants, we got to see the magic talents of characters including Colette.

I actually kinda like the pacing of this episode. It didn't waste much on chatter and got into the action. Seems this festival tests the physical and mental strengths of the participants. Also, can't stand Julius but he definitely has a lot of talent.

It's time for a tournament arc!!!!

Miss Undercover Spy that HAS to be over a normal student's age range is finally back, and obviously up to no good, it seems. Her aside though, this dude Sion... I kinda feel just bad for him at this point. But, considering he's trying to steal Will's main love interest, I'm conflicted. And yep. Just this episode alone has basically just confirmed for me that Will's just a muggle from Harry Potter, just with an excalibur lmaooo.

Best girl Collete showing she's actually competent and not being your bog standard shounen female lead that is the most incompetent person in the world is a breath of fresh air. Speaking of "incompetent", I really hate the way their just blantly throwing around that word like a slur or some shit to Will. Hell, even the announcer was in on it bruh. And then, just when I thought Sion was actually going to be useful, he switches up last minute... and want's to fight Will in the middle of the tournament...???? This dude is just a prime example of teaching kids to be powerful but missing out on teaching them responsibility and how to use that power wisely.

Here it comes, the good ol' frustration of a shounen anime.

Haha🤣!! Audiences getting shocked by watching Will's Skills was the most satisfying part of this episode.
ice boy truly is a formidable opponent but our team has Shion the king of fire magic but.... what did i just witness!!!? did shion betrayed his very own team!!? At last he can't be trusted with team work.
Now will has to face two opponents at one (Fire & Ice) this got interesting very fastly.🔥🔥🤩
ED Song ending displaying how much Elfie loves our Will.😍

Goblet of fire anime version quidditch with dragons? Fairs Wistoria back to cooking after last week’s slower paced episode. Definitely had enough action in this one to make up for it.

The magic tournament events were pretty cool, animation was great for all of em and seeing the audience praise Will for his performance was awesome. But then this annoying mf Sion had to ruin it all at the end. Idk if I hate Sion or Julius more. Like how are you still holding a grudge after all this time just because Will saved your dumb ass. He should’ve just left you to rot in that dungeon.

He has a thing for Colette, fairs, but you think she’s gonna want you after you pull some shit like this? Get real. They’ll probably try and give him a character development arc at some point in typical shonen fashion, but damn he’s annoying. Now Will’s going to have to deal with both fire and ice next week as if Julius solo wasn’t enough of a headache.

Super fast paced events with eye candy animation/visuals this episode. Will showing what he's capable of infront of everyone this time right from the start. Fight with Julius was this close but for now he'll have to deal with Sion. He sure packs quite the firepower but Will can beat him.

People hating Will are all so cringe.

So, Will will apparently kick some ice and fire ass, instead of just ice. Don't know how he'll do it without some asspull powerup maybe, but hopefully they'll make the fight somewhat challenging.

Great episode - those 20 minutes just flew by without missing a beat! Looks like Wil will put 2 guys down a notch in this arc.

I haven't read the LN or manga adap but I have a feeling there will be beings/race which will come to their world (the same way the elves and dwarves crossed to their world) which can nullify magic making the majority of the magic users 'impotent' against them (not to mention there is still a threat out there which could potentially become a greater one against magic in the future).

Looks like this anime adapt is on its way a good season overall, and when Autumn season comes, we will be having another season of Danmachi (same creator/author)

Rigarden Magic Academy's version of Qudditch, the Magic Festival, has begun, and Sion gets indicted into Colelle and Will's Crown Attack tournament, and it's all or nothing against Julius.

The Crown Attack tournament is basically Harry Potter's Goblet of Fire on display, and Will has a determination to win, despite Workner's qualms. The field of monsters may be fearsome, like the golem thicket, but Will using a magic gauntlet does not count as cheating, and it progresses the 3-man crew as fast as it comes.

Despite Sion's inferiority by having him be saved on Will's skin eacn and every time, he and Colette's teamwork is simply calculated, though most of it is Will puttng his experience from the dungeon to good use, and displaying for all to see his capability. In fact, Will may be heading straight for the stadium, but his true feint is catching Julius off-guard, which the latter does it before him, though their ace in the hole definitely is the fire magic wielder...who demands a duel right then and there with Will.

Sion vs. Will, what a wrong time to fight each other, but that's the skill of proving who's superior.

I swear Will is so overhated by 99% of the males, even after he already shown everyone what he is capable of...

I guess Prof.Snape finally admitted Will's capability even a bit :D

This is really silly.

If Will is really your enemy than destroy everyone else that is in your way of taking him on.

Meaning, Sion should destroy Julius, then take Will on when the time is right, that is what a real enemy would do.

You know, the Joker destroys everyone who is after Batman, so he alone can fight him.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

The big magic festival has begun! Starting off with this big team based crown battle. Your standard shonen battle royale with everyone vying for that crown in the center of the stadium. Will and Colette teaming up with the flame douche Sion. Who naturally betrays them at the first chance he gets. Sion just can't let his pride go from Will saving him in that dungeon. Picking a horrible time to suddenly attack Will. Just as Julius was there in the forest with them, Will could've finally set that guy straight and beat him for all to see. Will and Colette made a good plan giving Will that magic gauntlet so he's not breaking the rules of the event. Grabbing A sword in the arena and zooming quickly to the stadium at the center. The animation looked great during all the action this episode, Will showing all the spectators just how strong he really is. They've all had this idea in their heads that hes nothing since he doesn't have magic but now they see what he can do. His experience and skill are shining on a big stage. Sion attacking couldn't have been worse timing or in a worse spot. In that sea of trees that could've been great cover for Will but now its wide open with nowhere to hide from attacks. Sion is occupying Will as Julius now attacks Colette. This is a tricky situation to deal with right as Will had begun to turn public opinion.

EP 5

Honestly the first four eps of wistoria have been kinda ehh
It airs at such a strange time, which is both a good and bad thing
Last time in ep 4 shenanigans happened and this time


And yeah, so basically mr red doesnt feel like playing by the rules and its now a 3 way headache. and colette is somewhere
In theory other people could show up as well
Shrug

So yeah the episode is a cliffhang to set up whatever happens next ep. i was hoping it would wrap up this ep, alas, next ep it is

If there were a situation when ultrawide scenes are misused, it would be here, at 06:56 this episode. Switching between ultrawide and 16:9 could have great emotional effect, for example in DARLING IN THE FRANXX 03 at 09:06. But there was nothing emotional here. They might as well not do that because the style difference was already big enough.
If there were a situation when silhouette with reduced colours are abused, it would be here, at 17:47. This effect are for K.O., not for an attack that pierced through nothing but Will's cloak. Plus that right before this scene, they had already introduced that Julius would head straight to the forest. It might be a surprise for Will, but definitely not a surprise for the viewers!

Will silencing the haters by popping off and showing what he's capable of. Can't forget Colette's contributions to that, providing him with magic items.

Everything was going so well until Sion's pride got in the way. On one hand, I get it, this is a world ruled by magic so yea you're going to look down on those who can't use it, and you'll definitely not want to concede that someone like that is better than you. But at the same time, get over it bro, petty jealousy will get you nowhere. Especially since you're challenging him at quite literally the worst possible moment, with Julius right there as well. Hopefully Will humbles both of their bitch asses.

Great episode this week, I'm glad we got back to having more solid action sequences.

Action-packed episode as always, the animation is still good, I only hate it when it ends in suspense. Unfortunately, this anime still needs an engaging story... This arc seems too rushed, it's as if the anime only wants to show action.

The action in this episode was epic. Lots of great fights.

The story and reasoning of the characters were horrible and nonsensical at best.

None of Sion's actions made sense and the decision to have Julius walk slowly during a race which Will blazed through made no sense either. Julius is meant to be "cool", but it's not cool to be last. Having him show up in front because "magic" makes no sense either if they don't show it.

I don't know if Sion or Julius pisses me off more. I was kinda hoping that Sion would come to his senses and realize a larger goal here but no.. they better not do some kind of redemption for him later and Will forgives him. At least Will can get rid of both of them here and now.

I genuinely don't mind Sion wanting his fight, or even wanting right now. But doesn't it only hurt your ego more that you sneak attacked someone you think you should look down on? Like, it's just more evidence of your weakness, isn't it?

@ejleon Exactly! Will the scouts be impressed by Shion betraying his own team? Sure, he was duped into joining them, but come on! Try to impress the scouts and the audience, then challenge Will to a duel at some other point...

The Grand Magic Festival is opened!
Will Serfort, Colette Loire and other students from Ringarden Magic Academy participate in various challenges.

It is amazing that Will has advanced so much in this competition, even though no one was giving him credit or thought that he will be so good. Thanks to Colette Loire’s magic, he did it.

Can’t wait to see the battle between Sion and Will. It would be intense, but I am sure Will can handle it with his sword.

Much better than last week. Although, I haven't found this as good as the first two episodes. I originally thought that another reason they asked Sion for help was because of his fire magic to directly counter Julius' ice magic. But it looks like Will is going to have to beat both now.
