A nice setup episode for next week's action. I'm glad to see there gonna gang up on Medusa from start judging from the preview. I really hate when teams separate and do 1on1 when you can kill the enemy easily by teaming up,, Is Maka's dad inside the trap? Maybe he's also outside?
Thanks shinta|hikari for the sig.
It has been a while since I've laughed as much as I did during the speeches in this ep. A great episode altogether, for sure. It looks like pretty wicked action will follow now. I also hope they will coordinate some team fighting. Although to speak the truth, Maka might be the only one of them really capable of such...
It's what you call a "Bring it, bitch." setup episode.
Awesome one tough
Dr. Stein and Medusa actually made a pretty good looking couple, now that I think about it. When this is all over, they should start to see each other. I'm sure their kids would be the strongest ever, as well, if genetics play any role in that business.
Definitely a good setup ep. It's a shame Stein won't have access to the death scythe in the next episode. I'd like to see what they could do together against a witch as powerful as Medusa. The little toad witch, Elka, annoys me. I wish they'd kill her off already.
I guess.. They will have an offspring with a screw on its head and scales on its skins.Originally Posted by Kraco
Thanks shinta|hikari for the sig.
It's strange though. How does a witch become a witch? The way Medusa talks to her, Chrona seems to be Medusa's offspring, yet is not a witch at all. Chrona is just a technician, like Maka or BlackStar.
Maybe it has something to do with how Medusa concieved/birthed/raised Chrona, maybe by some magical means instead of the standard methods.

Is being a witch genetic in the first place? Maybe it is simply the act of learning how to use black magic that taints the soul and turns one into a witch, or maybe a certain ritual or a coming of age ceremony. I'm not certain, but are all witches so far women? If so, it is quite interesting why it is limited to women alone.
Peace.
If I remember right, Free, the werewolf, is also a witch in addition to being a werewolf and the third thing he was. It's not restricted to women.
I think warlock is the counterpart of a witch. I maybe wrong though
Thanks shinta|hikari for the sig.
I thought Free would be considered a witch because of the eye that he stole. Or maybe I forgot an important detail...not really positive.
And shinta, I would think that being a witch is genetic...Ann (introduced along with Black Star in episode 2) would be proof of that I imagine since she was the youngest one at the witch gathering.
This fantastic Sousuke sig was made by the one and only Lucifus! Thanks man!
The one with a swordsman as her guardian right?
And maybe there is another order for men. A group of evil magicians who is the same league of the witches. Warlocks maybe?
Thanks shinta|hikari for the sig.
NM's right, I think Free's witch powers come from the eye he transplanted into himself, compliments of the eldest witch in the order.
KIMOCHI~II
That's a fair assessment....if all his powers come from the eye, which they don't.
Sure, a lot, if not all, of Free's powerful magic comes from the eye. His whole body (or at least the magic he's summoning gets limned in green (the color of his soul, perhaps tainted by the eye, which also appears directly on his soul), and the crest on the eye enlarges and it starts sparking.
But in episode 15, Free also uses ice magic, with or without incantation (much like Medusa and frog-girl do). No reaction from the eye at all.
I've been waiting for this forever! Finally some real action in the anime.
Free's an immortal werewolf capable of ice magic, anything else he does such as the spatial cube magic he performed is due to the eye.
LaZie made this...a long time ago.

The question then becomes whether performing magic necessarily makes one a witch or not.
Peace.
I must have missed this when I was reviewing the episodes with him in it. Where does it say it's a part of his werewolf abilities and not magic?
I don't believe they said it anywhere but it might be related to the incantation he says before the attack. Rumbel's translation of it was "Wolf...wolves...wolf...wolves" and then did his Ice Spindle attack on Black Star.
Is that how it's translated in the manga Ryllharu? Because Tadashi's subs went "lupis...lupi...lupis...lupi" in episode 18 (but it really sounded like wolf wolves again) but I'm going with Rumbel just based on experience.
But what I'm saying is since he's muttering wolf wolves to do his ice attacks, it might be related to his werewolf bloodline. And the dimensional cube comes from the power of the eye since that cube itself puts anyone in it into another dimension completely with no escape (not even Shinigami-sama). I think the eye was reacting when he did that spell.

An excellent ep... I'm glad they found a way to get the death scythe to Stein even though he's not putting him to much use at the moment. It would be interesting to see if me made a throwing type attack intentionally miss Medusa so it would hit the vector plate behind her and catch her off guard.
I'm looking forward to the next few eps since they should be chock full o' action. I'd really like to see Death the Kid obliterate Elka even though I know that won't happen until the demon god is awoken since she has the black blood. I guess we'll see how far both Maka and Soul are willing to go in terms of obtaining "power" next week. The last scene in the preview made her look absolutely mental.
This and Macross Frontier are really neck and neck for my favorite shows of the season.
