That was some intensity! I don’t know what more I can say, you know I like your combat scenes. So now I’m just gonna find the small parts I really enjoyed. I liked the part where he kind of said fuck it to magic and just stabbed his wanna into the guys eye and then throat punched him. That butterfly is having a bad day. The second one just kind of got wrecked!
It is cool seeing the two separate observation tools being used. Both the scan spell and cctv, very clever use of fantasy and reality in a single scene.
It was nice to see Hoshino being a badass but also still thinking of how he’d much rather not be. It make him very human to just want to lie down and wait out the chaos. But he’s a big damn hero. He’s gotta save those kids.
And the last line, I loved it. Gave me a good audible laugh.
(And that hand, on the shoulder. Warm. Reassuring. Was it his dead mother? No. It was Oto from another reality, reaching through the aether as he chokes on a Tootsie-Pop.)
