#nathan has not been very present in these episodes which i’m a little bummed about because he’s my favorite character

episode 27 came out yesterday! this one was action-packed! let’s get into it.

the mysterious character chasing arrio down the school hallway really showcased how the magic works in the dimension he comes from. it seems like to use a spell, he has to crush a glowing rock/totem to gain its power. is this true for all people where he comes from, or would someone who has the spellbook he’s after be able to use magic freely without the stones, and thus gain unlimited spells?

and since he referred to arrio as “magite” in a previous chapter and in this one noted his bright orange hair, i wonder if that means in his home dimension, the magites are more naturally able to use magic, while the other inhabitants imitate that magic with their stones.

i also cannot emphasize how cool the fire effects were drawn this episode. the mysterious character making whips and blades out of his flames was so well-done!

we see glimpses of this new dimensions language, and i wonder if someone we’ll see enough of it to decipher it, or even get a full alphabet. world-building a new language is never easy but it’s such a key detail to stories like this so i really appreciate seeing that extra care and attention to detail.

jackie really came in strong when she drop-kicked the adversary here! i feel like she’s adapted much more easily to watch-dog’s training than quintin because of her cheerleading background; she already has physical skills, she’s just honing it in a different way.

and of course the “wham!” moment of the episode, quintin revealing himself to arrio. this is something i thought would happen, since quin is impulsive and once he judged that he needed to do something drastic for arrio to trust him, he’d come clean and tell him the truth.

arrio still isn’t in the best place because everything seems to be falling apart around him, so i still wonder if this reveal will do more harm than good for him. he still might push the twins away and have some trust issues since they kept something this big from him. i also feel like jackie will be upset because quin was so insisting on not telling arrio…and then he’s the one that goes and reveals it? it might feel hypocritical to her. and of course nathan won’t be happy about it. i really hope this doesn’t (pardon the pun) backfire on quintin!
