Finral's chance to shine! The Black Bulls are pretty overpowered in retrospect. Vanessa can control FATE, FInral literal space. It feels so satisfying seeing everyone else slowly acknowledge their abilities. His brother Langris is a jerk but overpowered as well. How were his feats even possible?

Mimosa's brother Kirsch was presented as a joke throughout his round with Team C, but his character is surprisingly entertaining. His magical ability and leadership capabilities between Sol and Magma was shocking, given his informal attitude towards.. everyone.

No idea if the translation on the site I was watching this episode on was accurate, but I found the way Asta called Mimosa's brother "sparkly" funny. Like WDYM sparkly?? I could see it after a while though.

Episode Context

Pure tournament energy drives this episode as the Royal Knights Selection Exam hits full stride. Expect rapid-fire team battles that test unlikely pairings. Magna and Sol find themselves saddled with the hilariously vain Kirsch Vermillion, whose ego clashes with their scrappy fighting styles in ways that are both frustrating and genuinely funny. On the other side, Finral steps up alongside Leopold and Hamon in a matchup that rewards clever tactics over raw power. The pacing is relentless, bouncing between combat choreography and quieter beats where characters confront their own limitations. Studio Pierrot leans into the spectacle with flashy magic sequences, but the real draw here is watching fighters who wouldn't normally share a battlefield learn to trust each other. Rivalry, pride, and grudging respect fuel every exchange.
