Overview:
Seeing Rin and Shidou’s compatibility, Isagi hopes to take advantage of it. However, his physical abilities are insufficient to get him where he needs to be. Then, Hiori suggests that Isagi thinks “on reflex.”
Our Take:
I hope Isagi can figure out what he did soon because I would like him to do it more often. I’m enjoying the grind and seeing him start near the bottom and have to work himself up but it would be nice to see him just kill it for a little while. Impress some of the top guys ya know? He should have a little more faith in his abilities because I don’t think Ego would choose just anyone. He would only choose people who have a shot to take Japan to the top.
There was a point when I said it felt like Nagi had become a secondary main character if not the main character outright. The reason I bring this up is that it looks like we are going to be following Nagi through his match as well. To be fair I imagine we might do that with Bachira too once his turn comes up but that has yet to be seen. Isagi’s breakthrough this episode didn’t go the way I thought it would but it was interesting nonetheless.
