Studio C2C absolutely killed it, the animation & visual effect quality were off the charts for this duel... the music played into the hype, that battle theme never fails to impress. So proud of Fran's progress, from weak slave to battle hardened warrior capable of forcing an A-Rank Adventurer to use their Unique Skill to protect themselves from a surprise attack... that blow, while it did not do damage, still technically landed and that's already worthy of respect, so no more nasty rumors about buying promotions (hopefully)!
Can't wait to see what the Spider Dungeon will hold, from threats to benefits, but the new visuals in the Opening got me hyped!

I believe I knew Mizuki meant Serpent, it's been brought up in various other anime over the years, but it really does work well with her fighting style... the whip was acting like an actual snake with those strikes, it felt alive and very dangerous. I can appreciate a proper form when using whips, as you say, it's not always just wiggling it around. Castlevania has solid whip fights as well, for example. Fran's surprise attack and usage of Parallel Thought still gets me hyped, the whole battle was fantastic but that final moment is what gets me! Love this show and its ability to create such intense action scenes.

This is my favorite episode so far. I love the choreo, when she takes the whip out, and you feel it has some weight to it. She's actually launching attacks like a fisherman with the metal piece at the end of the whip, not just wiggling the whip around like some other animes might have done. Mizuki means Serpent, so she was doing some Serpent Strikes there. And she's level 78 iirc, so just above 3 times Fran's level.
