I think 7's been my favorite so far, I really dig Viola Katze and Shingetsu's fighting style is really slick. Using shadow hands to pull herself out of trouble is top notch dodging.

That episode was so amazing, not just for the incredible action, but for Anna easily clinching the title of the angriest woman in the entire season.

*spoilers for episodes 6 and 7, but not further*

I also loved how these two episodes painted Shingetsu and Mangetsu in a gray light, almost in an attempt to make us question if they're really the heroes of the story. Shingetsu was shown as a cold-blooded fighter who was merely blessed by magic, while Anna worked so hard to get where she was (and even pulled multiple "fighting spirit comebacks" in that fight) yet she stood no chance. And then there's Mangetsu...

She basically acknowledged in this scene that she has no reason to fight in Granbelm other than for the sake of fighting. On top of that, while everyone else has her goals and ambitions that mean a lot more to them, Mangetsu is not only totally okay with destroying their dreams for the sake of her selfish desire to keep feeling special (by fighting) but is excited to do so. She's like a battle maniac who fights just for the sake of fighting and grows stronger just for the sake of fighting more, no matter what or who she crushes in the process... all because it's her only source of self-worth.
