Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei S3 — Episode 8 — 10 Second Anime

Tatsuya protects Miyuki’s group from parasite dolls as it navigates the Steeplechase Cross-country course.

Episode 8 — “Steeplechase Part IV”

Hmm.

Tatsuya does BAMF things as Shiba the Destroyer. That’s all this Mahouka episode is about. Military hardliners: take note. Mahesvara’s handlers can point him at you, too.

Heh.

Oops. What is a soldier in a MOVAL combat suit doing in the Steeplechase course when the parasite dolls are also there? Oh, the same thing as another faction in the military. Experimentation is proper for all parties. Right? Don’t kill the guy in the suit! As if they could. Uh oh. Tatsuya discovered the parasite loyalty program would fail, as Master Yakumo already knew. See the last Mahouka episode for details. But BAMF will BAMF.

The combat gynoids are tough, but Tatsuya’s rewind “healing” and superior abilities make quick work of the sixteen parasite dolls. The last ones belong to the Prime Four, the elites. They have advanced teamwork, but Pixie can overhear their conversations. We saw one’s tomboy face a few episodes ago, so (obviously) she would be the last opponent.

Miyuki wins! Tatsuya ought to reward her with headpats. That’s the traditional Mahouka prize. Kudou is happy his parasite dolls made Mahesvara “struggle” because it will make the military observers think twice about recruiting more magicians. That’s not how I saw it. Ha! The Yotsuba family warned Kudou to avoid the Nine Magic Schools while the Shiba siblings are in high school. Also, he should let patriotic magicians into the military if they want to. Last, don’t piss off “him.” Kudou knows whom Saeki refers to.

Party time! The Kuroba twins have fans among their classmates.

Epilogue for Mahouka. The Kuroba clan’s clandestine forces have trouble capturing that Chinese guy, Zhou Gongjin. Papa Kuroba hates the idea of using Tatsuya’s abilities for one man. Ouch. Kuroba lost an arm! Mahouka enters the next story arc.
