Superman isn't weak to magic per say, it just affects him like it would anyone else. And it's not like the school kids are doing much. All they were doing was defending one single point. The military and police are handling the rest.
His Elemental Sight allows him to see in the information dimension. He doesn't need to rely on physical coordinates, he just needs to find a target's information and hit 'delete.' That said, it is possible to defend against it as there are methods of masking your information. But I think the question of the day is, who would you rather be killed by? Tatsuya or Masaki? |

Good to know. Because it looked the other way around. Besides I'm pretty sure that Suzaku, Tats and Muscles-kun could take them all on their own. |

you dodge? it's not like the spell get activate in speed of light. It looks like those people can just dodge it if they know it's coming. |

Well obviously they're gonna focus on the characters we know rather than the random grunts. Still, it's a case of "high schoolers assisting the proper authorities," not "authorities are useless while the high schoolers do everything." Suzaku and Muscles are members of mage familes that essentially run the country from the shadows, and Tatsuya is a legitimate member of the military. Hardly typical school kids. |

Episode 25
Tatsuya is quite the monster, this time it is not just that he created flight or disintegrate people, but he spoiler[can heal other people like that]. |

You can tell that to the press. I have a feeling they would go with "schoolchildren".

Anyone else finding the pacing in the Yokohama arc to be quite confusing? The 9schools arc was excellent; this one feels a bit forced. I feel like we don't understand the motivations behind the attack very well.

It's because they left themselves with only 8 episodes to do it, whereas NSC got 11. A lot of stuff got cut as a result, including some important stuff.
For example, the spell Miyuki used on those guys near the end is actually her most powerful spell, Cocytus, but you wouldn't know that considering how little fanfare it got. |

being disintegrated looks like it's quick and painless. I'd choose that over what looks a lot like dying after you get bit by the parasites that were on Cloverfield |

Initially, I disliked the amount of Tatsuya circlejerking but I feel like there's a huge lack of "ONIISAMA"-ing going on this arc. Weird, I must be tsundere for Tatsuya.
I still don't know how to feel about this show; it feels quite average to me. It entertains enough each week that I'm not bored of it but I haven't been wowed by it either. In comparison, I was really excited when I read the manga. |

It looks like Masaki is using a Dominator on terminate mode. Or he's found the secret to Hokuto Shinken magic.

Masaki's magic is called Rupture. It vaporizes the fluid in a target, and the resulting pressure causes humans to explode in a messy fashion. He's called the Crimson Prince for a reason.

So how do you defend against Masaki's magic? Does he shoot a projectile you can just dodge? If Masaki were to go up against like Tatsuya's aunt for example how would she defend herself against Masaki's magic? Do magicians have a general resist magic spell? I doubt that a fight between powerful magicians is a fast draw competition.
As I understand it, Tatsuya is the only one who can prevent spells from being cast. |

He doesn't shoot a projectile, he sets target coordinates and the spell's effect occurs at that spot. So it is possible to dodge it, if you're fast enough. Look at Hattori's duel with Tatsuya to see an example of that.
There are other methods to block spells, of course. Barriers, for example, can protect you if they're strong enough. They protect not just your physical body, but your 'information' as well. Katsuto is one of the few people Tatsuya feels intimidated by because no matter how many barriers he destroys, Phalanx automatically generates a new one. Then there's interference strength, which determines how strongly a mage can influence reality. If, for example, Tatsuya used Mist Dispersal on Leo while he was using Data Fortification, if Leo's interference strength is stronger (which it isn't, but that's beside the point), then he'd be fine. The spell holding him together would trump the one trying to pull him apart. Related to that, a general technique is called "Zone Interference." It sets up an area around the caster and within that zone any spell with an inferior interference strength doesn't produce effects. There are also techniques that prevent Tatsuya from seeing an opponent's 'true form,' and he can't interact with something he can't percieve. And yeah, duels could potentially just become quick draw contests. How fast some one can fire off their one hit kill move is pretty important. If Masaki were to face Maya, she'd wipe him out in an instant. She's known as the strongest magician in the world for a reason. Tatsuya isn't the only one who can prevent spells, he's just able to use some unique methods to accomplish it. In episode one Mayumi prevents Honoka from casting a spell by shooting some junk psions into the activation sequence. However Honoka could have been seriously hurt if Mayumi wasn't so skilled. |

Whoa! Didn't Tatsuya mention in some episode that he believes he could probably take on his aunt (and defeat her)? |
