>>280210896What a great fight it was. Emotionally it's one of the ones I liked the most, and action-wise while short it had some good moments like Nozel's Silver Surfer moment. I disagree with the anons above who say this is a rehash of the Megicula fight, while it had some similar elements I feel this feels like a true battle for the Silva from beginning to end very much like the compass elf one, while the fight with Megicula had a bigger scale and only felt like a Silva fight at the very end when Nozel appears (not saying it's bad btw, is still my favorite fight of the series). I lamented that Nebra and Solid were absent from the whole deal with Megicula, but the author wasn't done and proved me wrong in the best way possible, and I'm really happy with the result.
This feels like the completation of Noelle's character arc. She has accomplished everything she wanted: she has become a strong magic knight, has dominated her magic, avenged her mother, finally was accepted by her family and given apologies for the bad treatment she received there and surpassed her mother. I think there's nothing more for her to do at this point, except if she will end up with Asta or the author will keep cucking her, but other than that I think she had a pretty solid character arc from beginning to end. As a big fan of Noelle, I'm so happy for her, she has easily become one of my favorite shonen heroines ever, and I think she has received one of the best treatment of any shonen heroine as well. Whatever may happen next, we will see, for my part I'm so glad Noelle got to shine so much in these later arcs.
