This was a fairly action-packed episode that showcases the results of everyone's training. However, the payoff would have been much more satisfying if the training itself hadn't been skipped. Another important event from the original story was also omitted, making the episode feel even more rushed. Ever since Ep 2, the adaptation has felt like it's speeding through the source material and some of the awkward looking animation only reinforces the impression that the production was rushed.
