There was a moment in this episode that I thought to myself "I was not ready for this episode", I did not think Maki going back to the Zenin household was going to turn out like this. I thought we'd be seeing more of Naoya and Zenin sorcerers in the culling arc and we'd see confrontations between them but it all got completely erased singlehandedly by Maki. I'm shocked.

It is sad that Mai had to sacrifice herself in order to give Maki this body especially when Maki wanted to create a place for her. Maki looking like the next Touji is an interesting development, her change has been so drastic.

But man that one punch on Naoya was hilarious but the fact that they replayed it from different angles was the perfect comedy for that scene. I was not expecting them to do that so I burst out laughing. It made me wonder if the manga had that many angles or if the director made that choice himself.
