Before they headed into the fight with the Demon Lord, Teoritta’s conversation with Xylo was superb. As we have seen, Xylo fights for others, as he clearly has pride in his name. Even being sentenced as a hero. Teoritta helps others to receive praise. Xylo’s pride is the equivalent of Teoritta wanting to be praised. Essentially they are more alike than Xylo would want to admit. It is an interesting case where Xylo can be viewed as a hypocrite, but you can understand why he acts as he does.
I do like Teoritta being true to herself and mentioning that it is Xylo’s job to protect her. Though throughout the episode we see when Xylo looks at Teoritta, he sees Senerva. Less than mistaking Teoritta for Senerva, it gives more of an indication of the trust he is growing with Teoritta.
Teoritta is able to summon a holy sword from another world to defeat the Demon Lord. What is the mention of her being useless in the previous episode? We see the Demon Lord vanishing alongside the Holy Sword. In one moment it is clear that Teoritta has amazing capabilities. Though the real issue that this battle leaves is that there are humans siding with the Demon Blight.
This episode finished covering volume 1 of the light novel by covering pages 195-232. One huge praise of the anime is how it adds in the immersion of the fights.
