Agreed, though it still feels relatively complete and cohesive, it could have been way worse rushing wise.

@Spastic Minnow
Double Seven refers to the feud between two families from the same lab with the character for "seven" in their names. Shippou is upset that, in his opinion, the Seagusa family stole all the work of the entire lab. "Sawamura Maki" is the bound woman Tatsuya saves from kidnapping. |

Yeah, I figured out her role from the chapter synopses. Although a little confused about her motives. I can see why she was mostly excised. She stirred up tensions that already existed, so she wasn't completely necessary, and it proved a handy way to shorten things. That bit about her being saved could've used an anime explanation though. If an adaptation is to stand on its own, you need info like "her father's media company refused to cooperate in the anti-magician propaganda anymore." That and not bothering to explain the arc title makes me think they are relying on prior knowledge a little too much. I quite like going over "skipped content" stuff, Iwatch videos on Mushoku Tensei weekly, but like Mushoku Tensei, the existing anime version should be adequate to tell the story.
This arc only slightly failed in that. |

The "double seven" bit is not explained in the source novels either, or if it was, i missed it. It is one of those things the author apparently though obvious. Someone either above or in the preview guide mentioned it and it does become obvious once you think on it.
The business with Sawamura could have been better explained. She was the one stoking Shippou's anger and paranoia. For your information, Tatsuya wasn't there to rescue her. He doesn't do miscellaneous crime fighting. He was there to blackmail her into leaving Shippou and any other magic school students alone. He notices and destroys the murder attempt as he leaves. Ironically, the attackers were the remnants of the No Head Dragon Syndicate he gutted the previous year. |

The previous Nine Schools Competition was chaotic enough with just winning and dealing with criminals trying to rig the whole thing. With this week's episode the upcoming competition seems even more chaotic and dangerous. Trying to test out the parasite gynoids, sabotaging said gynoids to cripple magicians and then there is whatever Seagusa pops is doing.

You seem to have a good grasp on what is coming smurky. Who needs criminals when one of the Ten Master Clans and the government are willing to mess things up for these kids.

Agreed, if I remember correctly then the previous competition had one girl lose her magic due to a surfboard accident. Given that it is easy to imagine dozens of teenage magicians losing their magic, though I never really got an answer if hypnosis or something similar like that can fix the issue.
I am also curious about the Chinese corpse thingy that is giving orders, I assume that it is some kind of communication terminal? |

The true enemy of every magician no matter how OP was on display this week, said enemy being a lack of sleep. Everybody is so busy plotting and scheming that poor Tatsuya is working overtime to get all his work done and find out the truth.

Steeplechase: Back in the bad old days when the English aristocracy used horses and packs of dogs to chase foxes, the fox would frequently lead them way out in the country. At the conclusion of the hunt, some idiot with more energy than good sense would suggest racing back to town. Since the only thing visible of the town would be the church steeple they would race towards or "chase" the steeple (it wasn't running away though). This involved riding at full speed and jumping any fence, wall, hedge, stream or other obstacle in the way. This evolved into a form of horse racing involving a fixed course and a number of obstacles.
In the case of this show it is a military obstacle course on steroids. |
