Now that the setting has been reestablished I’m excited to see where Tempest is going to take us with it. We clearly know that he’s going to end up with Mahiro because we see him with Mahiro before we’ve even met the guy, so secrets out on that front. While it’d be cool if Tempest let us speculate a bit about what’s going to happen with this guy, it suffers from antoher example of too much information in OPs. I also loved it because it just let Hakaze be an unmitigated badass, taking an amputation like it’s nothing just to test a guy’s will. The exhibition match between mages was pretty cool, and helped clearly explain the differences between these two powers. With both trees having some kind of will, it’s hard to say really who’s the one pulling the strings in this case. Still, knowing this story, it’s obviously no coincidence that he happened to run into Yoshino and Hakaze out of nowhere like this. He also seems to be acting like he has a girlfriend when she’s really dead, if that first inner monologue of his is any indication. He has literally no buildup, and yet he’s laid on us in this episode like we should have expected him all along. I enjoyed this episode, but if I had to have one complaint it would have to be the introduction of this new mage. Does he know something we don’t about Aika, or is it some romantic nonsense that makes him act like she’s still alive? I still don’t get whats up with Yoshino still needing to act like he does have a girlfriend. It’s kind of strange to think in this time of an oppressive god-tree ruling over the land that these characters would be entertaining romantic feelings, but I suppose they are teenagers. This is Samon’s man issue, and the reason that he’s contracted Mahiro into his party. After being saved from time and distance Hakaze sees Yoshino as her savior, and instead of commanding him haughtily she now is letting him call the shots. Its really telling how much different the conversational dynamic is between these characters now that they’re face to face. All the real action lies with the guerrilla team, with the same group sans Mahiro, but Hakaze now in the flesh. While we get to hear them quite a bit their role in this episode is pretty much only that of narrator and commentator. It is interesting that the rebellious Mahiro is joining up with the straight-laced calculated forces of both Evangeline’s army connections and Samon’s Kusaribe Clan. Since we just got into all these developments, there really isn’t much to say. Alliances have radically shifted, new characters are appearing out of nowhere, and the very fabric of the world has been forever changed. It would appear, as far as shounen battle manga tropes go, we have hit a time skip in Tempest. While rumors of a Mage of Exodus get spun around, the couple happen to find a young man with the powers of the chaotic tree. Yoshino’s influence on her worries Samon, to the point that he wants him dead. But once Mahiro's best friend and Aika's lover, Yoshino Takigawa is rescued from danger, he too gets dragged into this tale of revenge.Recap: After waking up, Mahiro finds that Yoshino and Hakaze have gone off on their own. Mahiro agrees to help Hakaze under the condition that she find Aika's killer with her magic. From the deserted island, she sends a message out to sea, which is picked up by Mahiro Fuwa, a young boy who's sworn vengeance upon the criminal who killed his little sister, Aika. But Samon Kusaribe, a member of their family seeking to resurrect the “Tree of World's End”, a tree that opposes the “Tree of Origins” and controls the power of destruction, stuffs her into a barrel, and banishes her to a deserted island. Their princess, Hakaze Kusaribe, was the greatest sorceress of their family. The Kusaribe family is a family of sorcerers under the protection of the “Tree of Origins”. The tragic tale of this irrational world starts now. Sanity and madness, sense and intelligence, self-confidence and convictions. One day, a single girl was suddenly murdered, and the culprit still runs free.Īnd one day, a battle spanning time and space over magic and revenge began! One day, a sorceress princess was stuffed into a barrel and banished.
