He's uses are otherwise so few that you'd think Mustachio had at least forced those three to come up with some tactics if not whole strategies for a fight. I don't see how Team Try is supposed to beat the much stronger opponent Academy if this is their level of planning and thinking. The moment their overly naive plan didn't work in this fight, they were rendered totally helpless and inactive. As if a team making it to the semifinals would leave the moment of fusion totally defenceless and open for exploitation. That also demonstrates Ral's uselessness quite fittingly: Even though it was worth trying, it was still more likely than not that it wouldn't work like some magic trick. Ral should have told them that and adviced them to rather plan on it not working, instead of sitting still dumbfounded when it doesn't. It should have been an extra shot from the beginning.

I guess their best bet is the fact the Academy team itself is basically a group of very prideful individuals, so it's kind of unlikely they would stick to team tactics instead of separate fights. So, Team Try can stick to that as well. It should suit Sekai at least much better. Yuuma has lots of wits so he could adapt to anything and Fumina naturally is all about helping others. Yuuma aside, Fumina actually wants to develop herself as an individual fighter, so it would serve her well to fight her love rival 1vs1...

I couldn't get excited about this fight either. The main fight should at least deliver, based on the participants.

With 25 eps, that is, 3 eps left, we might still have time for some nice cameos. Although I'm not really expecting them anymore.
