Nanatsu no Maken ga Shihai suru Episode 10 Discussion

feel like i’m going crazy about chela literally being the only person in the show that knows basically everything when the plot demands it. also katie x troll is nasty as hell bro like whoever made her character was probably watching hentai or some other degenerate thing. the fact that none of these characters never lose a fight is kinda insane like i feel like it’s not inherently bad to allow your characters to lose a fight but damn also also where are these students parents bro (excluding oliver) i wouldn’t trust my child to goto an academy this dangerous

I have some gripes with this episode

1.No familiars, yet has there servant turn into a similar form
2.Intervenes for a 3v3 joining the challengers, then demands the location.
3.She says she'll prove herself, even though it's her servant doing all the work.
4.The servant doesn't have the safety spell on his claws (as the spell was on his blade and no content explains that it's cast on the person)
5.You force the group to fight in a new area that you could have set any number of traps.
6. Nanao somehow doesn't wreck the brat after mounting with her swing.

Ok episode but damn I hate this crap, gets my blood boiling.

I thought this episode was just ok as it has taken a turn from Oliver's quest for revenge against the evil teachers. Speaking of teachers, the guy that joined Stacy's group looked old enough to be a teacher but apparently he's a student.

Anyways, if I understand this correctly, Stacy is upset with Chela because Stacy didn't get the praise that Chela got? It sounded like Stacy's dad was missing and that Chela's dad was raising her too? Not sure if that's correct but that's how I understood it from this episode. Also, this labyrinth keeps getting stranger with the 2nd layer being a forest and all of this being under their school.

Hoping that all of this goes back to hunting down the teachers, maybe this will serve to make Oliver's group larger.

My mistake from last episode: Their group isn't called 剣花壇 (kenkadan lit. sword flower bed), but 剣花団 (kenkadan lit. sword flower group, how it's translated in the anime). Sorry for a brain fart.
Cool how the troll finally has a place to stay.
Does Fay call Stacy "Suu"?
Need more of Chela and Stacy's backstory.

This episode title: マスターアンドナイト（主従）— Master and Knight (master and servant; lord and retainer; employer and employee​)
Next episode title: デューティー（責務）— Duty (duty; obligation)‎

It's not well explained in the anime since they rush things quite a lot, but they were pretty much forced to let Albright take part in the duel, or he was going to attack them anyway, and they chose to go with him to the second level for pretty much the same reason. In the novels it's also explained that because he comes from a family that are know for their martial arts, he's basically on the level of a student several years older, even if he is a first year student. In many ways he is stronger than Oliver. He was quite menacing in the novels.

Stacy and Fay are not really that weak, it's just Nanao and Michela that are too strong for their age. In the novels they also explain better why the spell works and how the werewolves regeneration works... pretty much everything that doesn't make sense in the anime is explained in backstory, narration and internal monologue, so go read the novels if you want it to make more sense :P

That's not what is suggested this episode. What is suggested is that Stacey and Michella are actually half sister sharing the same dad, but that Stacy is just considered to be a "spare" (she would be brought back as the main branch daughter only if Michella were to die or something of that order) who isn't even allowed to bear her real name nor be raised by her real father, instead being raised by a man from a branch family who doesn't show any father- daughter affection towards her, only towards his real son.
It is also hinted that Michella doesn't know that and think of Stacy as her cousin from that branch family; and that she happily grew up with the affection of her father while Stacy's first 15 years of life were devoid of parent-children affection whatsoever. It also explains why she was so mad at Pete for taking the spotlight right when she had a rare occasion of being praised by her real father.
It'll be hard to not be jealous for Stacy. When she look at Michella smiling happily surrounded by her friends and pushing back her father's hug, she probably cannot help to think that it could be her. Michela 's existence robbed her of everything she should have had.

@Zefyris and @aegd

Thanks for the explanation, I think that the anime did not do a good job in explaining Stacy's feelings towards Chela and they are deeper than I thought. It also explains why Stacy got upset with Pete in an earlier episode.

Kinda derpy fight animations this ep. Our squad is OP af tho (at least the three that are currently fighting) so I'm sure they will wipe the floor with these clowns. Maybe the edgey tall dude could beat Oliver if he doesn't whip out his OP blade.

@Alfredo-Sauce
That'll be because that story like to accumulate the hints rather than downright explain right away.
For example, in her flashback, Stacy is the only one with those hair rolls, despite the fact that "McFarlane" are said to all have that. And while she's looking at her "father" saying "maybe it's because he's not my real father", she's playing with her own hair rolls, and Fay stops her hand. This is a hint that in that scene, "she's the only real MacFarlane". Neither her "father", nor her "sibling" are. They're a branch family, which don't have the same name nor t he same hair tradition. From there, her insisting that she's not a spare, the fact that she has the same age as Chella, her obsession with getting the attention of her "uncle" and how upset she was when Pete stole her spotlight with him, and said "uncle" being basically totally uninterested with her compared to how he was with Chella right prior to that, etc. etc. There's tons of hints pointing out what she really is compared to what she's said to be, and therefore why Chella's very existence is like a constant reminder of what she should have but don't have.
