THANK YOU FOR NOT HAVING THE ENTIRE EPISODE BE A FLASHBACK OF HOW HE GOT THERE. MUCH APPRECIATED.

in lieu of a flashback please enjoy this random cut to a bunch of characters you've never seen before

I mean, that part seems at least kinda important for the overarching plot and it wasn't really dragged out.

for sure, it just wasnt an unusual choice

some tropes (does this count as one?) are inevitable, you trade 1 for another lol

Maybe I'm just not reading the threads enough, but so far I'm having a great time with this show

The last three episodes have been drawn out to the point where if this entire episode was a flashback I was going to be done with the show. Not complaining about 'every single thing,' complaining about a very specific thing they keep doing over and over and over and over.

they didn't even show the fight. she was going to start then they cut away... then her sword had already impaled him when they cut back.

guess the hero is going to get obsessed with Ryo being stronger, and probably turn bad

P sure that WAS the fight. She can teleport so I think she just kinda 🧍-> 🧍🗡️

Considering the gulf in strength between her an a regular person. Yeah,

vanish "Heh, Nothing personnell kid"

was the whole fight.

Pretty sure all they did was cut 2 seconds into the future. She said ryo was atleast ten thousand times stronger then him and she can fade teleport, im certain she just dashed forward and impaled him and instead of a 5-10 second fight scene to showcase that, they did a 2 second flashforward to showcase how miniscule of a threat he posed to her that it wasnt even worth the screen time.
