Time jump would have it good sides, mainly to make Oori a more seriously priest, but it would lose all the fresh, delicious interaction between Makina and Oori, unless the last episode of this season sufficiently deals with that. So, unlike you, I do have expectations for the last episode. It will determine how Oori and Makina's new fates will work. I would like some spice and heat there.

That's true, in the character interaction to deal with the aftermath of what just occured this should be a fine episode. But I can't help but to imagine that it'll have a heavy dosage of Oori crying about shit, so not going to get my expectations up.

And yeah, we might miss out on the interaction beteen Makina and Oori. But they could also do that through flashbacks. Another thing is that they could make the time jump not that long, so that Oori gets semi-capable during battle (but not strong enough), so there would still be the sort of friction that would've been there as if he had just begun training. Something like the start of a new school term might suffice, with him having training through Summer, etc.
