The Magical Revolution Episode 5: Vs The OG

When we last left our heroines Anis heard reports of a powerful monster wreaking havoc, filling her with excitement for ultra rare materials but Euphie was less than thrilled to see the princess fly into danger thus joined her in battle.

By the way. Since some have forgotten let me repeat my two rules of adaptation coverage going forward:

1: No spoilers of the source material in the comments.

2: No comparing events of the anime, similarities or differences, with those of the source.

After the intro setting up the situation we flashed back to early noon as Euphie asked Anis why she needed a dragon’s magicite. Basically it was the key ingredient to create a core she would implant inside herself allowing her to finally use magic of some sort…in theory. That “probably” didn’t ease Euphie’s worries at all.

After making a grand entrance saving adventurers from a monster bear she laid out her plan, she’d fight the dragon while Euphie helped the troops fight the monster stampede. Naturally Euphie worried for her sweet princess but Anis said she’s the only one who could fight the OG thanks to her flight skills. She “assured” her everything would be daijobou thanks to the booster pills. Said pulls increased the fighter’s capabilities…while also turning them into mostly berserk savages. Again Euphie’s worries weren’t calmed in the slightest.

Naturally Euphie wasn’t far behind the Marauder Princess and aided her with a badass Explosion when needed. Despite being berserk Anis’ love for the perfect woman was stronger than her bloodlust showing a mix of awe and arousal at Euphie’s awesome spell casting.

Her bloodlust took control when the OG himself appeared. Now Anis was filled with excitement and a need to tear it apart for the greater good (the greater good), that being to finally cast magic. Unfortunately for her her Mana Blade, a weapon that in theory could cut through magic energy, had no effect on the dragon no matter how or where she struck. The OG, annoyed at her feisty opponent, unleashed a mighty blast knocking her out. Not without worrying she may lose the most important person in her life before passing out of course.

Determined to save the girl who showed her the light we saw that she may not be adept at flying a broom but that didn’t mean she couldn’t Air Dash like a boss! It’s right up there with Takina smashing through glass.

I don’t know if it matches the intensity of that one scene about the girl verbally cutting the edgelord boy’s balls off for refusing to explain his chuuni ways to her but Euphie passionately telling Anis to let her be by her side regardless of what she must do to become “the ideal magician” was bloody fantastic. The addition of Anis realizing despite her goal of becoming a magician that brought smiles to everyone’s faces…only for the ONE GIRL WHOSE SMILE SHE VALUED MOST TO BE CRYING BECAUSE OF HER was a nice touch.

See how much better battles in isekai are when the protagonist is super strong but not entirely a one girl/woman wrecking machine? That’s all I ask. It makes for more epic showdowns. No need to go into detail. Just know their comeback kicked ass.

Anyhoo the post battle went something like this:

The OG: Well done child. You may harvest my corpse as you please.

Anis: (Oh crap. He’s an honorable warrior who respects strength.). Sorry for killing you big man.

The OG: You apologize? HAHA! Most amusing! Very well. Allow me to be the Sean Connery to your Dennis Quaid. You want the power and knowledge of a dragon so bad? Take it and carry this curse beyond your dying breath!

During the credits we joined Anis at a celebration party but being prim and proper wasn’t her style. Luckily Euphie found her.

To quote my dear sister, “thank you”.

I could do my usual OG style play-by-play of this great moment but it’s so good you have to see it yourselves.

Excellent stuff as always.
