Episode 11 is the best episode of Black Summoner since Episode 7. It finally gives Efil something to do beyond being the team mom, it gives Rion a genuine victory, and it sets up a larger conflict with Trycen that feels like it actually matters. The elf village is a better setting than the generic towns from earlier episodes, and the writing is sharper than usual. The show is still a power fantasy with a protagonist who has no real personality. But episodes like this prove that it can be more than that when it bothers to give its supporting cast something meaningful to do.
