Auto-revive?! That's some hax skill, for getter or worse. Like you all, I felt this climax was rather dull, mainly because they built the whole thing up so epically, then it just kinda went.....meh.

Tsuchimikado's ability was actually pretty sweet, but it just kind of came out of no where, just like his Taijutsu. Perhaps they train Feng Shui with Kung Fu? What really killed his spell was how simple it was. It's a bit hard to overwhelm the audience with paper-in-corner + glitter = BOOM. Perhaps if it was a more complicated spell things might have turned out better.

Touma didn't really earn Kanzaki's thanks this time round neither. Besides finding Misha fishy, he didn't do terribly much. Tsuchimikado's the guy who almost lost his life (but knew he'd get it back )

And like always, Index shows up at the end of the arc just to remind us what this show's called.

Next week looks fun though. Mikoto Date FTW!!!
