Very few yuri scenes, but the ones that were there were great. I wonder how strong Azaka is, to actually pin down a monster like Shiki. While I am sure Shiki is not abnormally strong, she has to be quite confident in her strength being able to move like she does. Speed necessitates physical fitness. While she does not need strength to slice up enemies, muscle power is a must to dash in and flip around like she does.

The punch scene was absolutely hilarious. If there is such a thing as elegant slapstick comedy, that would be it.

Are Azaka and Mikiya blood-related? I may have missed it, since I watched the Chinese subbed one yesterday. From what I know, they are real siblings, but I just want to make sure.

Azaka's fighting style, while showy, is kind of ineffective. She is supposed to be a mage, but uses only close combat techniques. I'm sure it plays into her strength (literally), but some situations call for projectile attacks so Touko better teach her some. Maybe Azaka has yet to master or is not ready to learn such techniques yet. I was really hoping for some cool long range mass destruction flare magic when she got cornered, not a stronger version of her melee attack. If Azaka does not learn something long range, she will never hope to match Shiki, who is a death god at melee.

The next episode is a flashback right? Does that mean that we will never see any physical material advancement on Shiki and Mikiya's romantic relationship? That would be kind of disappointing, since all Mikiya has ever done in the show is woo Shiki, and I would feel sorry for him if he doesn't get any.
