I was so socked at the end when I stayed up late and watched the episode live. After all that mature talk from Asuto, I didn't expect they would resort to kidnappe him.

Asuto stays in character pretty well. Despite me wanting him to be in the dark side, I know that Asuto's character wouldn't let him do that unless something really important happend and forcing him to, like the Tsurugi's situation. With this kidnapping, I don't know how would the event plays out yet, maybe just have him undergo the carving Orion mark process and hypnosis him or sth. Malik did try to make Asuto join his team no matter what, even said that "temporately join Orion for one practice match is fine". I at least expect to see Asuto fights against IJ in one match, be it an official match or not.

Now that I think about it, Shinjou is making Shirou joining Orion probably to keep an eye on Asuto.

Asuto is already my favorite main but after this ep, I jist like him even more and the ending pains me ughh.
