Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei S3 — Episode 11 — 10 Second Anime

Tatsuya and his friends inspect the Thesis Competition area in Kyoto as cover for hunting Gongjin Zhou.

Episode 11 — “Ancient City Insurrection Part III”

Hmm.

Kuroba’s animus against Tatsuya presented hints earlier in the Mahouka season, like complaining about “that” coming to help the Yotsubas’ clandestine wing and refusing Tatsuya’s help in restoring his wounded arm. The contrast between his negative feelings toward Tatsuya and his children’s adoration of “Tatsuya-oniisan” is starkly sharp. Indeed, all the kids in Tatsuya’s generation love him, while the adults fear and hate him. We’ve seen some of Tatsuya’s origins as a living weapon in past Mahouka seasons. However, the show has not presented why the older branch family heads regard the young Shiba so disapprovingly. A future story should cover this material.

Heh.

Tatsuya’s Scooby Gang will scout the Kyoto location for the Thesis Competition. Field trip! Ah. The news is reporting on the dead body of Nakura, the Saegusa bodyguard, and how authorities suspect murder. Mayumi took the news hard. What? Why would Mari suggest asking Tatsuya for help? Because he’ll be in Kyoto for the Thesis Competition! Mayumi can go on a riverside date!

Hayama, Maya’s aide, still has concerns about Tatsuya’s “rebelliousness.” Aw. Maya has a measure of affection for her nephew. The rest of the Yotsuba clan wanted “to drive that boy out.” What does that mean? Why? Tell us about it soon, Mahouka. Kuroba still has hardened feelings about Tatsuya’s remaining presence in the Yotsuba family. Ooh, inside tea. The Yotsubas tried to kill him soon after his birth, but Tatsuya doesn’t know that. Tatsuya’s only loyalty is to his sister. Isn’t that good enough?

Hahaha! Sparkly Minoru ikemen arrives to impress the ladies. He’s so pretty, even to Mikihiko and Leo. Minoru and Miyuki standing together is too bright for Erika. And the crowd nearby! Minami can’t keep her eyes away from Minoru.

Here we go. Let’s see how Mikihiko fights Traditionalist ninjas. Leo breaks out the magic brass knuckles. The irregular magicians of Mahouka hold their own, but there are a lot of enemies. And their handler would like to dispose of their bodies. Retreat! Hey! It’s the Crimson Prince, Masaki Ichijou, from Third Magic High School! Will the red hand-me-down BAMF combine forces with Tatsuya?
