Maria the Virgin Witch: Junketsu no Maria

[KrayZ33]

Joseph was pitiful for most of the episode and it looks like he can't fight worth shit,

That's mean... Joseph is a kid, he's probably somewhere between 15-17 years old, while Galfa is a Merc with years of combat experience and in his mid 20s.
The fact that he was able to hold out this long is impressive.

Yet Joseph is what Galfa wanted to be, but never could.... not only because of his poor background, but also because of what the world made him do/see and probably how his surroundings changed his views about the world.

Poor Galfa

I wasn't comparing Joseph to Galfa. It's obvious Galfa's fighting ability would be words above Joseph's. However, Joseph looked like he had only ever hold the sword in his hand when he oiled it, never in battle or even practice. His combat sense were no less catastrophic, but I guess that natural since he had zilch experience. In that sense Galfa was right: He should have run. There's nothing more annoying than a fool who thinks he can win a fight simply because he thinks his cause is righteous (unfortunately in shounen that's usually enough).
