So wallhacks, demon light and "molecular divider" are all just the tip of the iceberg. Nice.
You know how Tatsuya actually sucks at the normal parameters that are usually used to assess mages (activation speed, power etc). What if that's his "rein" and he's actually God? You really don't get much more badass than when your sister wipes you off after a kill.
The last scene didn't make sense in that Tatsuya's power restriction should have been a military one, controlled by his superiors. Miyuki unlocking it seemed strange.
I suppose the other unknown thing revealed this episode was that Mayumi was also capable of clairvoyance to some extent as well.

If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I'd say taking Tatsuya and Miyuki first elsewhere to have Tatsuya perform military duties would be far less risky than counting on these students to keep their mouths shut. The only logical way out of this is if in the next episode the officer recruits the rest to do something vital for the operation. Then knowing Tatsuya is officially working for the defense forces would motivate them in their own tasks. However, Tatsuya being the god of magic that he is, I don't really see what there'd be left for anybody else to do.
That dude was a big disappointment. I was under the impression he had done some actual work outside of school with Suzaku, but apparently he was a 100% normal student, after all. He's far less useful in this situation than Tatsuya's normal bunch of friends.
Not necessarily. The 10 major families are like 10 extra powers of their own in the country. Miyuki & Tatsuya's was said to be the strongest of them, if I recall correctly. It's an undesirable situation for the government and official government institutions like the military, but nonetheless it would mean the family wouldn't allow an outsider, like the military, to restrict Tatsuya. The family would do it themselves so that they could use Tatsuya when they wanted, even if it was to defend themselves against the military. Thus this seemed far more logical to me. Tatsuya might be loyal to the army but you can bet he's still far more loyal to Miyuki.
That would not be consistent with the information given so far. It was already mentioned that Tatsuya was broken emotionally in an attempt to fix his "poor" magic ability. It is probably a gas tank thing. His techniques won't change but his power and endurance will. It would go against the theme of the story if he suddenly used normal magic now.

Peace.
the way his head exploded with that holy shining soup flushing out of it... it's Jesus.
I can't help it, I enjoyed everything he did in this episode... I didn't even mind that he's freaking OP anymore, its kinda "okay" for me whenever he does it without trying to hide his power.
When he disintegrated that truck, why was Mayumi able to see it? What was her power again?
Who knows, people got so many abilities and hidden stuff.
But hey, it was pretty brutal to see him chop people into pieces.
I was not calling him Tatsuya-Jesus for nothing.
Chopping people into pieces scenes were done nicely.
tons of logic faults like always everywhere else.
why couldn't they adapt it as action series?

You're raising other people from the dead? Come on, now you're OP.
Onii-sama snuggle scenes are still the best.

HAHHAHAHAHAHA this series is such a fucking joke. It's literally just an orgyfest for people to show off their powers. This whole thing is just like a big video game for Tatsuya, he just does not give a fuck. The first image in the ED where tatsuya has his hands up like "get at me" should be him raising his middle fingers.
This episode was a bit of disappointment, wanted to see more action powerhouse from Tatsuya and that final scene was a complete letdown.
I'm God, what's up people?
So Ichijo has an Hokuto no Ken like power?
It's a little messy, but extremely effective on a battleground as enemies have fear and disgust growing when an anemy they can't hit approaches slowly like that with bodies exploding...

Wasn't anybody bothered by the utterly witless actions by the terrorists? Did they even have any objectives? Did they have any leadership despite the fact we were shown those old geezer officers multiple times? The mecha with bigass gatling guns apparently needed to get within 20 meters of the target to do anything, as opposed to hundreds of meters away from carefully chosen positions. Kind of like the American attack helicopters shot at their targets from a safe kilometer away in Iraq, relying on advanced optics. At first I
thought maybe it's because they want live hostages, but that wasn't the case either since the terrorist infantry was always shooting and attacking whenever they could.
Although the Japanese government wasn't any better: The fricking huge command/cargo ship the government had recognized from the get-go was allowed to stay undisturbed. No cruise missile. No fighter attack. No mage attack. No nothing. Apparently nobody thought that if you destroy the enemy high command, it just might slightly hinder their operations.
Once again it's proven why these things are called light novels.
Yeah, I'm pretty much with you... the terrorist were quite disappointing particularly of how competent they seemed for a few episodes prior. Well, not competent per se, but at least resourceful and having quality characters take in the action.
These were just a bunch of cannon-fodder fucks that brought no value to the equation.
I've read the novel - and it was the kind of mindless fun, with tons of plot holes.. but you could picture easily how it would be animated. not to mention that all 'onii-samas' were like a inside joke.
sadly adaptation to anime fucked it up even further - it prolonged the boring parts for no reason, rushed action, and gave lenghtly explanations of everything(usually by tatsuya-jesus) EXCEPT where it was needed.
i had high hopes for adaptation early on:
if they went with action show(they easily could do it), toned tatsuya-jesus powerlevel down(because we clearly seen that he is basically omnipotent) .. and removed Miyuki's role because she brings nothing of merit to "plot".

HS - Episode 26
----------------------------------------
...That ending was boring...
at least the fight against that Tiger/Beast dude was kinda cool.
Turns out that the obelisk matches were the most fun to watch.
Overall this was a 4/10 because it had decent animation and fights.. everything else wasn't worth a dime.
Would watch a second season for some fights with nice BGM though

I only really like Miyuki though. Insurance track was nice.The OST was otherwise unimpressive.
edit: on repetitive listening a few more tracks are also likable. It's still no Sawano Hiroyuki nor Kajiura Yuki, but even those can become tiring when their "signature sound" gets carried across too many anime too frequently.

It's pretty funny how the conversation aboard the chopper tried to give Tatjesus a couple of weaknesses, but in practice they don't manifest at all. He repeatedly resurrected his squad members after having healed the students, without showing any hesitation or discomfort. According to Miyuki he's poor at most magic because most of his brain is reserved for the 24 hours immortality magic, but in reality, despite performing poorly in certain goofy school tests, he can actually use more varied magic than anybody else and is a superior magical technician to the rest of the world combined. So, where exactly do those weaknesses lie? Miyuki's speech sounded like nothing but propaganda and governmental cover-up to make these civilian outsiders think Tatsuya isn't so omnipotent after all. Although I can hardly blame her for spreading those lies; it's for her own good and for Tatsuya's good obviously if less people know the truth.
Tatsuya has used that spell multiple times already. The immediate price of the spell is the condensed suffering feedback. The long term effects of that would be felt a person's mental health and mind. In fact, I interpreted that this is the explanation for Tatsuya's seemingly lack of human emotions - he's been numbed from casting this spell multiple times. You could even argue that the only thing that keeps him human is his unnatural love for his sister. He endures this so he can return to her.Originally Posted by Kraco
Miyuki openly longs for her brother, but she's also her brother's lifeline.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Miyuki is Tatsuya's only real weakness. Too bad she is absurdly powerful herself.
They didn't show Miyuki's most powerful spell... She isn't even an elementalist...
All in all, I enjoyed this show. Some parts were poorly done (like WTF were those soldiers standing around for? Take cover, dammit), but at least they kept the parts I liked, mainly OP Tatsuya, brocon Miyuki, and the short but sweet battles.
Peace.
Ok, so material burst is getting matter to explode -here probably hydrogene in water drops- with the E=mc2 law.I understand it's use the second time. It's important to leave a scar in your enemy's harbour that prooves they were severely beaten.
But the first use was unneccessary in my opinion. Unless Tatsuya's zapping spell has a size limit, I think it would have been a better option for the first strike.
