I love how, much like the confrontation with Qual, this show subverts your expectations of a typical shonen. In the end there is no big bombastic fight, it’s over in minutes. And DAMN that ending, even though Aura is evil, felt cold as fuck.
If I have one criticism of this episode in particular is that it felt like a long wikipedia entry info dump. That’s just a thing anime/manga do from time to time but it felt more pronounced here. Within a minute of Flamme giving her speech about hiding mana you pretty much know exactly how things are gonna go.
Damn if this show can’t still make me tear up, seeing the flowers around Flamme’s grave.
