OMG....Cecily's fight was so painful to watch. At first the claymore chick looked like she was fighting seriously (maybe she was), and it really was a deathmatch. Then the elongating-blade girl (whose design I rather dig btw) jumps in and almost skewers her, making it seem like Cecily's totally cornered.

Then out comes the dagger girl who wants her turn as if she's the final boss of the three, only to be the first one to get cleanly hit.

Following that, they take turns bashing her and asking her to relieve the sword as if her permission or surrender was a requirement for transferring ownership.

Then, you know, we got bored of it, so we'll just knock her flying and take it now.

While we're leaving, she's making a racket about the sword. We've got that now, so we should leave, but let's waste some time and kill her or something..

MAKE UP YOUR MIND FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

Katana action was nice, even if it seems like everyone should now be stealing those instead of Demon swords, since they're so much rarer and more powerful.

That episode felt so similar to Valkyria Chronicles' later episodes.

In short, fucking random.

It was so Dragon Ball-like, with the projectiles and versus kamehameha energy attacks. It should have sticked to the katana goodness that seems to be the only redeeming feature of this show.

Cecily was so fucking arrogant for someone who is such a failure. She refuses the sword's power, then decides to use it, then brags immediately after just because the imbalanced sword that automatically protects and attacks in what seems to be the most effective way possible is doing the fighting for her?

The wind attack from Luke is stupid. Why didn't he just dash in while dodging and own them like usual? This show should have at least kept Luke's dignity, not give him magical projectiles just because everybody seems to have one since this episode.
