Have to admit I liked this episode, sure it's stupid and silly but I think that's why I'm liking it. This arc isn't taking itself too seriously and I think it's working atm. Also I love the idea of not simply having 12 straight up slugfests, I think the different challenges (Quiz, Card Game etc) is an interesting way to resolve some of the 'fights'.

Do have to admit though this episode lost it for me towards the end when Elfman won with sweat? SERIOUSLY WTF!!?? I thought he would win and show he could use his brain in a fight by tactically switching between his Take Over forms to counter Taurus, but oh well.

Still hope this arc doesn't drag on too much though wanna get to the Sun Village arc, but for now at least I'm enjoying the silliness; especially before the darker Tartaros arc comes along.
