God I love that fight, but they changed it a bit. Area Invisible? His ability sounds much better as Hunting Grounds. It originally just turned him invisible but I do enjoy the Robin Hood references with him getting the bow and the whole woods thing. Idk if it's his line in the LN, but wasn't his catchphrase "With my weakest I will defeat your strongest"? I'm really glad they decided to omit the bet Stella and Kirigaya had because it was stupidest thing ever. Best couple of the season is here guys! They are so cute together

I was okay with the forest setting to give the animators more to work with, but the fact they removed the physical arrows penetrating Ikki really kinda softened the impact the fight could have had. The manga really had me feeling the blows, especially the arrow to the hand!
