When he hit Vulcan with cane did he keep on going or was he just spinning it around wildly?

Also I love that Arthur is very powerful but he seems to unintentionally handicap himself because he's a moron.

To provoke that much rage with such a smug, repugnant sadist for a villain, the next episode had better pay off in stacks. Like 'David has to go two towns over for more orange' levels of payoff.

There's a guy who makes ice out of his fire powers. This show makes Railgun look like a CERN experiment.

The series ran out of actual fire powers very quickly so it just started going down the regular shounen power list and adding "...using fire!" to the end of each.

Regarding heat and magnetism:

https://www.nature.com/news/magnetism-flips-heat-flow-1.12090

https://physics.aps.org/story/v15/st14

There's some quantum stuff that's been verified using magnetic fields being able to control the flow of heat. I don't understand any of it so some other Goons can look at it and see if it nominally tracks.

Heat apparently can also be used to generate magnetism via the Seebeck effect wherein it's been observed that a magnetic field can be generated as a response to electrons in a conductor moving due to temperature gradients. Again, I don't really understand it that well in detail but here's a link:

From what I have read ahead, (3 or so arcs) it's much more minor from now on. I think there has been once instance of it. And it was just her jacket falling off.

Also clip from this episode's simuldub is even called Maki is best girl.

My favourite was from slightly before the clip, where she headbutts a mook and then finishes by having one of the Hover Units slam his loving skull into the ground so hard it leaves an indentation in the back of his head. That man was dead.

It's a shame they have to resort to that because, at least in theory, Tamaki's really strong. Battle shonen gonna battle shonen I guess.

Tamaki is just painful to watch and a wholly wasted character (You could see the painful "Yup, she's the REAL Tamaki alright!! :pseudo:" gag coming from a mile off). If anything, this should've been the fight to prove she's not the dumb fanservice character she's presented as. But instead they doubled down and end it on a comedy beatdown :nallears:.

Though it did give Iris a truly badass moment, at least :stonklol:.

Her power is "Nekomata"; She deploys fire tails off her thighs like lashes (it's why she's got those unique pants with the sides left bare) and flaming cat ears, while she moves and fights like a cat. Because fanservice.

I did enjoy assault being like "she dodged it?" Yes, a novel concept that someone agile might, y'know, get out of the way of your huge fire bullet

I don't think you can chalk this up to "battle shonen gonna battle shonen" when even by the standards of the genre Tamaki is really loving bad

As mentioned we don't have much Tamaki fan service for a pretty long while after and the examples that do happen are pretty tame.

And she is involved but she just does not have any big fanservice moments after the Assault fight from what I have seen.

That makes sense since this fight pretty much exhausted the possibilities for her character.

Thinking back on it, I think something that underlines what they think of Tamaki as a character is that she wasn't sent for training with Benny alongside Arthur and Shinra. She's supposed to be at the 8th to learn to be a better Fire Soldier, after all. Same rank, supposedly-same general level of strength. And yet...

Honestly, I still pretty comfortable with that assessment because even beyond that you've the stuff Neddy said above where she doesn't go for training. What really makes it frustrating is Okubo did Soul Eater and Maka was really cool so he can do right if he wants.
