Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei S3 — Episode 7 — 10 Second Anime

Tatsuya wears himself thin while supporting several students in the Nine Schools Competition.

Episode 7 — “Steeplechase Part III”

Hmm.

Mahouka hadn’t touched much this season on the “almost” romantic intentions Miyuki has for her big brother. That changed in one episode! She crawled into bed with him because he was “cold.” He’s always cold! Miyuki is a literal ice princess, so how could he not be?

Then she reminded him why the Yotsubas set him free of their human weapon program. He’s a walking neutron bomb instead of a chained and targeted one because he has one mission — to protect the future leader of the Yotsuba Clan. That gives Tatsuya a lot of leeway, though. Ensuring the safety of Japan and Miyuki’s friends is an interpretation of that mission. Have fun, Tatsuya. Go BAMF on those Parasite Dolls!

Heh.

Tatsuya is sneakier than his sneaky branch family cousins. But Master Yakumo out-sneaks Tatsuya! The Steeplechase course has tighter military security than the Yotsuba family expected. Mahouka always lays out its cards before Tatsuya satisfies its audience.

Tatsuya uses a spreadsheet to track his scheduled players. Montage of First Magic High School dominating the other schools. There she is! Pixie, Tatsuya’s personal Parasite Doll, monitors the presence of other Parasites. Uh oh. Miyuki feels jealous of the students under his care. I sense female selfishness!

Tatsuya’s fatigue affects him now. He entertained the idea of blowing up the Steeplechase course with his neutron bomb Material Burst. Miyuki reminds Tatsuya his primary purpose is to protect her, not anyone else. Well. We know how that will turn out. By protecting Miyuki in the Steeplechase event, he’ll save everyone else. Play up the old-fashioned romance scene, Mahouka.

Oho. Miraculously, the shadow under Tatsuya’s eyes disappeared. Izumi Saegusa shows her devotion to Miyuki publicly. Ayako’s offensive skills benefit the Yotsuba clan, as we’ve seen before.

Aha. Not a surprise here. Kyouko, Tatsuya’s walking neutron bomb handler, sent the secret warning about the Parasite Doll weapon testing. Kyouko also brought his Bat Suit, er, MOVAL armor. Ahaha! Master Yakumo told Kyouko her Kudou elders had played her because the Parasite Doll never had a chance of going berserk. But the Parasites could escape the dolls and take over students. So, Master Yakumo didn’t object to sending their neutron bomb to take them out. Tatsuya heard everything he needed to know! Oh, Mahouka. Never change.
