Finally, the fight between Julius and Will....

Juilus has been bullying Will since te begining so this episode was their chance to settle the score. Will didn't hold back and gave a hell of a fight against him. Julius' ice magic may be strong but Will managed to find a counterattack against it. It's kinda impressive considering his reputation. Either way, Julius gets what he deserves imo.

Julius shall pay the price for stealing Elfie's magic and he actually paying the price now.
She knows who going to win this battle, such level of faith she has on our Will. 🤩🔥.
Nothing can stop him now, he's in the ZONE!!!🔥.
Julius is going WILD lol 😂 & got kicked out🔥 fairly.
Now officially Julius loses the battle but what the heck! , our boy still loses the competition 😂 and Elfie agonizing 🤣.

This time Elfie got some screen time & the ending was hilarious.

Looking forward to watch "Shall we date?" Episode

Oh they weren’t lying about Elfie cooking today! She’s so freaking pretty. I like Colette more, for now, but Elfie has potential for sure.

Lmao Julius tried to go aura for aura with Will and got that ass destroyed. Won’t be underestimating people again I guarantee that. Hated that we wasted last week with the Sion BS so getting straight up Will and Julius action in this episode was great, especially that last 2 minutes or so of the big fight, whew that animation was insane

Talking shit about Will and his low status is cool and all but where Julius went wrong was insulting Elfie and her magic, especially when he was using an inferior version of it 😂 it’s a pure skill issue. Couldn’t have picked a worse person to copy from either since Will knows all of Elfie spells like the back of his hand. Just loved seeing his entire sense of elitism vanish in the blink of an eye.

My god, Will taking down the Julius clones was some of the coolest action I’ve seen. Love the camera movement and storyboarding and I’m a sucker for those insta replay style knockout blows in fights. Night night Julius!

Work smarter not harder though. Wignal and his team sitting back and letting everyone fight before swooping in and grabbing the crown is so messed up lmao, but fair play to em. Will still wins in the end because the whole school will truly respect him now+Elfie got to see him look cool

Can’t wait for the Colette episode next week 😋

there was so much Elfie in this episode, I really liked her character so much, can't wait to see how Elfie will finally be able to be side by side with Will.

PEAKUGA the final minute was amazing, seeing Will move so fast was so cool, and in the end we were satisfied with Will finally punching Julius in the face.

I know we all knew Will was going to beat Julius, but they didn't have to give away the exact moment by playing the hero victory music at 17:10.

Though, it did feel pretty good. :D

Oh you fucking know it's about to be lit when the OP starts playing right before the climactic moment of the fight. Kinda wish they skipped the actual OP sequence itself if they were gonna play it there anyway.

That Julius pack is glorious, that dude is on major FRAUD watch this week. Not only did he need his little minions to help him use that spell, but he thought he was hot shit for using a spell created by a two year old. An INFANT. LMFAOOOOOO.

I've seen my fair share of anime and I will genuinely never get tired of seeing arrogant characters who think they're perfect lose their composure and just break down. Things got off to a rough start, but Will really handed this man the biggest L ever, and right after he bragged in front of tens of thousands of people about how amazing he is. And my god, those final moments after the OP started playing, as Will ran through the ice clones, just cinema. The storyboarding of this show and the way they use the camerawork to complement the action can't get enough of my praise. What an episode. It just sucks that Will didn't win the event since the elf dude played it smart and swooped in for the crown amidst the chaos 💀 but beating Julius in front of that crowd probably means way more to him.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Taking down those clones one by one like that was a good way of stoking Julius' imagination of the grievous wounds he could end up with. Considering that came on top of Julius realizing the magic he was so proud of turned out to be inferior to what a toddler invented... made this episode very satisfying.

I simply wish the rest of the writing could match the animation quality.

so cuteeee!! all the Elfie and Will flashback ^^ and the fight was really epic. I think Will did really good and finally was able to show the school his skills even though no magic.

The only thing I thought was unfair is that Wignall took the crown lol..... but that's all because Will fought hard for it. At least it wasn't Julius :D

@meganimeman the writing is okay at best
It's already a lot better than a lot of shows like demon slayer.
Remember this is still 10TH chapter out of 44 available.
And a huge twist is waiting which they won't be able to cover in this season at least.

A leak was out claiming that second season is in works.i suggest you judge writing when we reach that point. that would explain why the writing is like this.

Really hoping we get that part soon.

I really like this show. I pluck it up after Grant say it was pretty. And it is. Its music and animation style is well done. It’s really easy to watch, and time flies fast!

As an older watcher, I would like to have a little more complex story. But this flat reused one is good path to use too, nothing wrong with it. It’s pretty safe to use on repeat.

It’s definitely over mid!

Will has successfully put that arrogant prick Julius in his place! Faced smashed in lying on the ground completely humiliated suits Julius well. Will knew exactly the magic he was using, having seen it for years at the orphanage. Julius really thought he could best Will with that weak ice magic. Self proclaiming to be Elfaria successor, what a joke. He made a complete fool of himself in front of that huge crowd and all those scouts. Julius and his goons were so delusional in their attempt to stop Will. He didn't even have to try hard taking down the backup. After that is was merely breaking through Julius weak display of Elfaria magic. Cheaply replicating it but not even being able to do it properly. Will dropping that truth bomb that this is magic which Elfaria created when she was only two years old. Julius is well beyond that and can't even do it without help. Will sliding through all the ice clones looked badass as hell. The action in this episode was incredible, with the camera work rotating around the big open arena. Will delivering that satisfying punch right to Julius face felt so good to see. All for someone else to swoop in while everyone is distracted. Will got his revenge that's what mattered most.

Really good episode, though I do think The MC is a bit overpowered. When he got trapped in the ice I think it would have been better if Colette would have came and helped him out rather than him breaking out on his own. I remember the end of Danmachi S1 gave me the same impression. ( over powered MC)

Man that was satisfying. Nothing feels better than beating the villain when he's high on himself and thinks the world revolves around him. Got wrekt while boasting about partially using a magic Elfie invented when 2 years old. Great animation and camera movement throughout the episode. The closeup Elfie shots were beautiful. "She just wanted Will to herself", the reaction of her aide was priceless.

"Let me see you get those teeth!"

If someone is staring daggers at YOU while the plunge a sword into the head of your ice clone, go ahead and forfeit.

The takedown of the final 8 clones before Julius himself was a thing of beauty. Hope they can keep this up!

Oh, and the L is STRICTLY on Will's teammates. He carried them on his back and all they needed to do was grab the crown.

Kinda expected that would be outcome but to finish that personal bout Mashle-style is really satisfying.
Welp, this manga+LN-based anime should become the anime of the season. Actas (and Bandai Namco) really is doing this series good, knowing well to conserve budget and knowing when to splurge - and doing it well.

Even the Ice Faction is stirring up the heat that Julius will be Elfaria's successor, there may come a time when that will be true.

It's time for Will vs. Julius, and the latter does not make it easy off the bat filling it with the same illusion magic, but it's magic that is part of Elfaria's masterpiece: El Glace Frosse, which makes him unbeatable. Despite Julius being self-taught on Albis Vina, it's Elfie's magic that Will is inherently knowledgeable of from head to toe, and all that she desires is a lone sword, which meant that Will is her only successor.

The facade of Julius having to hold on his own despite without his Squad members, it shows the difference of Will trusting his gut because of his childhood memories with her, it's their unbreakable bond that serves as the no-talent's motivation to deal Julius his due. But welp, Wignall just stood for time and won without having to do anything at all. Elfie clearly has Will written all over her face, but despite his loss, he's able to make an impression towards everyone, like it or not.

Action-heavy intense episodes, produced masterfully.

Will is too Gary Stu and Julius too hammy an opponent for me to take true delight in this. Wistoria really doesn't have much going for it if you take away the quality animation.

We all knew this was how would go down, as Will definitely knew and could match all of Elfie's spells, but absolutely love the devastation. Julius was so cocky to use the magic of a 2 year old and couldn't even get close to the amount she had as child to love torment Will (10 clones). Hope we see Julius's apology, maybe dwarves will accept that punch he received, but I hope Will expects more.
This society is so weird, but at least Elfie wants his sword to her wand, though hoping for a little more spice between the factions than that.
I knew someone would come along and take the crown, but I still love that, as he came out of nowhere with his whole crew LOL
Will got his objective though and likely his whole time got scouters on them (Will for obvious reasons, Sion for showing exceptional talent, Colette also for energizing with Will (it was her sword/gauntlet too) as well as great talent.)

4/5, I get they were orphans, but still off-putting that they are technically step-siblings... Serfort... The realization of how pathetic Julius was chef's kiss

@MadLadOfCulture yoooooooo, I was wondering about Rosti's reaction, and that makes so much sense!!!!!! It matches Elfie's reaction. This makes so much sense... DAMN SHE'S BEEN LIVING WITH HIM?! On the bright side, if this gets confirmed, that means Rosti won't get hurt by Will not loving him back in the same way he clearly does <3

Will is such an asspull character. Unlimited stamina, super speed, super strength. How did he get out of that triangle prison which got hit by a massive block of ice to begin with. Physics are irrelevant it seems.

Animation went WILD, but plot and characters are MID at best. Retarded and arrogant villains who are retarded and arrogant in order for the viewers to feel joy when the MC inevitably humiliates them.

BTW is Colette aware of the fact she has ZERO chance with Will? It's honestly sad.

Wow, what a beautiful, utterly pointless fight. The Elves, who I totally forgot even exist in this anime, turned out to be the only reasonable bunch in this entire show. Too bad they are bland and forgettable, otherwise I'd finally have someone I could root for. As it stands, any random hentai has better plot and more interesting characters than this nonsense.

Definitely dumb to see Julius trying to fight him using his beloved’s skill that was developed when she was two, lmao. Not going to lie, that made me laugh harder than it should have. Playing the Op twice though, hmm. Minor detail but the uncanny resemblance to Black Clover is plain obvious. I’m not saying that’s necessarily a bad thing here, but it didn’t bring anything new to the plate. Driving the blade through one of Julius’s clone head while staring deep at the original’s eyes’ was pretty darn cool though.

Elfaria-sama trying to defend her decision of using 10 clones like that was hilarious. I wonder how she’ll be reacting to Collete’s date next episode…
