Death Scythe's don't necessarily require a technician, because they are completed weapons. I suspect in most cases that they don't even require any assistance and rarely even need to be in weapon form. Look what Marie did to Asuza and the toilet with her bare fist, and she's probably the least serious out of all of them.

This episode didn't disappoint at all. It was one of those light-hearted episodes that makes the series better than the average shonen series (you know, the kind that always end up in a tournament somewhere). The kind of episode you always need after things get really serious, and before they start to get serious again.

Spirit's reactions were the best in this episode. The creepy pervert look he had on right before vomiting from happiness was great.
