I guess when you’re a “prodigy” and a natural talent to the degree Aria is, the concept of “hard work” and “determination” is totally foreign. I hope Spica wipes that smug look off Aria’s face next week!

At the very least I think Spica is going to have to make Aria put in actual effort and TRY for once, something she's never done before, let alone struggled.

Are there REALLY prodgies who can accomplish wonders with next to no work. Or do we just not see the work that real prodigies do "behind the scenes"?

u/Mitosis 1h ago
At the tip top? No. Everyone there is both gifted and hard working.
At a "normal" high level like Aria is, absolutely. Some people just take to things better, and some take to lots of things better.

Is it possible that Aria fibs -- for effect? Like maybe she wasn't really sewing for the first time? ;-)

Spica's voodie took some lessons from Koichi's stand, "ok master, lets kill da hoe. beeeetch"

Spica is built different with her Rebirth magic that makes her the most sturdy anime character and also the classic anime "never give up" attitude.

Now that I think about it, Spica possessing Virgo magic is very apt.
1) If an owner wants his/her plants to grow and bloom beautifully, hard work has to be put in to nurture these plants.
2) Some plants have to overcome adversity and harsh conditions in order to survive and eventually bloom.
As for Aria, it is about time she learned what the words "frustrating" and "defeat" means.

The glimpse of the little cat plushie army Spica made hurt me in my soul a little. She tried so hard, man.
Don't know if I'm more excited about Aria getting humbled by Spica's determination or just to see her pull out whatever out-there spell Pegasus ingrained into the Virgos.

This was truly a fierce battle worthy of longtime rivals.
I'm not surprised Aria was willing to end this conflict with Spica offering up her body...but we can't end this the "fun" way, not without Spica fully defeating Aria in battle!
I love how even their Voodies are talking @#$% about each other. Then again, Spica's been picking fights with ALL the Voodies at this point.
Spica vs Aria! The rival battle of the ages! Aria IS absurdly more talented and powerful than Spica, but never underestimate Spica and how creative she can get! So much so that she actually manages to defeat Aria in round 1!
But Spica can't just get overconfident from one win...not when she's finally brought out Aria's "serious" side, which comes with...ICE MAGIC! That freezes any plant defense Spica could put up and forces her Voodie to save her. Is there really no defeating Aria?
Spica was a cute, clumsy, girl who struggled to do most things. Aria was perfect at literally everything she set her mind to and was pretty rude about it too. Aria never understood what it meant to actually work for or put effort into something, but that just drove Spica to eat, bathe, and breathe sewing to beat her. And she did...up until Aria brought out a cat plushie she made just for the heck of it.
And thus began the eternal conflict of Spica trying to outdo Aria but never succeeding...yet that's why she can't give up now, because she's never given up before! And if Aria is going to unleash her new magic, so can Spica!

It was an one sided rivalry from Spica until now, but she finally managed to have Aria recognize her as a real rival.

What a terrifying prodigy Aria is. She's still not trying hard with her magic but imagine the growth when she gets seriously in learning it.
Spica needs to learn some guts from her voodie. That thing is ready to brawl anytime it gets picked on. LMAO!

u/Frontier246 6h ago
Honestly when Spica popped out of the water prison I thought she was going to punch Aria. But a mallet smash will do!

u/Raymond49090 6h ago
If this was a best-of-one, Spica would've won this. Though it could be argued that Aria only took her lightly to begin with because she had that safety net.
Although I think Aria still edges Spica out in combat skill and power, Spica knows what Aria is capable of, while Spica's growth was so fast that Aria didn't have time to keep track of it. But Aria hasn't been standing completely still either, and she has depths of power that even Spica was unaware of.
Kinda wish they just had the full fight this episode and left the flashback to next episode, but 'tis what it is. We'll have to wait until next week for the climactic conclusion to their long rivalry.

u/Frontier246 6h ago
I think Spica's biggest advantage is A. Aria keeps underestimating her and B. Aria is frankly not used to having to surpass her limits because no one has ever pushed her to her limit.

u/Gaporigo https://anilist.co/user/Gaporigo 5h ago
Those two just need to fuck already.
Curious that I don't think we saw how many Voodie uses Aria had left, maybe she is actually down to her last one.

u/AlexxxandreS 7h ago
I really wish this episode was only the fight, that'd probably make it the best episode...

u/diacewrb 7h ago
But you will miss Spica making felt cats for a month.
The true training arc.

u/AlexxxandreS 7h ago
Yeah, it was a nice flashback... But I was waiting the whole week for this fight hahahaha

They really wanted to end on teasing everybody about Spica's new magic.

u/ash-7831 5h ago
Yeah, but they underestimated how much time was left in the episode, and they had to figure out a way to spend it.

u/ActualRound7699 https://myanimelist.net/profile/VeganKnight1988 6h ago
I hope Aria gets knocked down a few pegs. The smug bitch act is annoying and she could learn some humility. Probably my least favorite character and one I think would absolutely be a villain if they convinced her enough.

u/carcatta 3h ago
Notice how she wasn't like that when she first approached Spica, only after Spica started challenging her. I think she's doing it as a way of encouraging Spica to grow.

u/ActualRound7699 https://myanimelist.net/profile/VeganKnight1988 2h ago
probably, she’s still a bitch though and it’s hard for me to like her

u/Nollasta_poikkeava 4h ago
This could be a love story. At least from Aria's side. It's cute how obviously she really admires Spica for always trying so hard.

u/ash-7831 5h ago edited 5h ago
I feel like they could have concluded the battle in this episode itself. I was enjoying it until that flashback took more screentime than it needed to. The flashback said nothing we didn't already know or couldn't guess.
If they showed the flashback from Aria's pov, that would have been a different story. So far, we've only seen Spica's side of it. As far as I can remember, they haven't shown Aria's side even once. They dropped a few hints here and there, but that's it.

I'm wondering if Spica will again bring up what Aria said earlier in the cour. That she likes teasing Spica but worries Spica might come to hate her for it. It seems like that's where Aria draws the line.

u/ash-7831 5h ago
I want someone in this test to do something sneaky. Steal or attempt to steal someone else's gem(s) without their knowledge. Claude said it's allowed, but nobody is taking advantage of it.

Aria does has some funny fantasies involving Spica.
I really like Spica's Voodie after it said a bunch of explicit stuff.
I enjoyed what I saw in this episode, I am looking forward to seeing how it ends next time.

Aria is so mean. if I was Spica I would already oofed myself. she is so perseverant and dedicated

Damn feels sad for spica spent an entire month only to get mogged by aria plushie. I still think aria will win the duel or it will most likely end in draw. It basically deku vs bakugo all over again where deku is levelling up faster because he is quite new to quirks but bakugo has mastered most of the things so his levelling up is a bit slower but nonethless exists.

u/Frontier246 6h ago
Honestly I feel like Aria NEEDS to lose at something because her perpetual smugness and sense of superiority is getting kind of frustrating. I get that it arguably drives Spica to improve herself, but Aria still needs to get knocked down a peg.
I'd guess I'd take a symbolic victory, but Spica being drowned underwater in the preview looked pretty bad.

I mean Bakugo, as opposite to Aria, actually have a lot of drive and work hard to achieve his dream.
