That's right pal, Asta will beat you with his superior strength, thus proving that your beliefs of might makes right to be completely wrong!

Most of this "fight" animation is just still frames.

I actually think that Noelle's character arc is fairly well handled.

If she can't control her magic, why doesn't she just attempt to misfire on purpose? Maybe she'll hit her actual target.

[up] That be actually thinking.

[up][up][up] True.

The way magic works is emotional so they can try to justify any asspulls. This is pretty much how anyone gets new spells in this series.

That was a fast turnaround Noelle.

Like, I get the sentiment and it was an interesting idea, but that, was, like, an episode of exposition, self-doubt, and turnaround in 20 seconds.

Maybe I'm just being biased here, but it feels like Zatch Bell! handled the whole "protagonist learns a new (and crucial) spell mid-battle" occurence far better.

[up] Yeah, that's my feeling. I agree with LSBK that Noelle's arc and its direction in and of themselves aren't the problem, but, as with many things in this show, the pace is too brisk.

Didn't Zatch Bell generally have them learn a new spell between fights?

I remember Zatch. It's too bad that the dub didn't continue.

Well there you go, Noelle's problem was just that she lacked motivation. All it took was one conveniently placed little girl to get her working right.

@ Enlong: It's been a while since I've watched that, so while I can verify that some spells were learned between fights, I could've sworn there were a few instances of New Powers as the Plot Demands.
