I like that they covered the whole Kelvin fight this episode (they even skipped the opening to get more time) instead of having us wait for the result.

So Kelvin had been holding back (way back, as we’d find out later in the episode) in his fights to entertain the viewers, a fact he admitted to Rick whom I guess he felt is worthy enough.

But he finally met Broughston who was stronger, and he gave up his hesitation and went all-out after some encouragement from the gym owner. Turned out he was strong in magic also, which took a lot of hard training. He used level-eight magic which impressed the S-rank party members and a big reaction from Angelica. Broughston for his part showed his respect by giving the champion the orc quarter thumbs-up and then beat him utterly.

It went into the ending song right after the fight, so we don’t know how Rick’s reacted to having to fight Broughston next, I doubt he’ll be let off easily just because they have secured the belt :-)

Masayuki’s unique skill is strong indeed. He somehow made it to the final match without fighting at all, at the same time without disappointing all his fans. Just the opposite, they seemed to be crazy about him.

If you looked close enough, there was another person questioning that along with Rimuru:

To Rimuru’s surprise Gobta beat Lion Mask with his tactics and will be the one who fights Masayuki. Meanwhile Rimuru has an appointment with Gazel-in-yukata, the purpose of which we’ll find out next episode.

Below ordinary level ??? Rick posing as 1-month studied Angelica. It was not enough to defeat prodigy level 1 Geith, but Rick shows what possibility Angelica can have if she spends more time training.

@rikka@ani.social :

I was going to say this is the payoff episode, but the tournament is not finished yet and they still have a Champion to defeat. It is good to see Angelica’s problem solved though.

Thanks for a smoothly running instance and congratulations on your wedding!

Also, the button layout on switch controllers is different (A & B is swapped compared to XBox). This mostly matters on emulators, although you can remap the buttons, it can get confusing that they don’t match the games’ instructions on screen.

In fact, USB 3 can cause interference with 2.4GHz wireless so a 2.0 hub could actually be better for OP’s purpose. It probably won’t make much of a difference unless you’re plugging in a thumb drive right next to the receiver though.

@rikka@ani.social :

I really hate that you can only open one settings page at a time. There is no justification to making you lose your place you’re working on just because you want to adjust another minor setting. With the old interface I can e.g. have network and sound settings open at the same time and I don’t know why they took that away.

I forgot Nico Nico was also a victim of this.

Agreed. I do feel a bit sympathetic towards VISA for that being sued over their relation with Pornhub thing (which some speculated is what kicked off all of these), but I do not think it justify such a reaction. In any case, such power that enables some lackeys to unilaterally decide what is acceptable and what is not for a whole country’s creators should never exist.
