The Crunchyroll series Mashle: Magic and Muscles has gained a reputation for its clever parody of other shonen anime, with its latest target being the beloved series Fairy Tail. Since its debut in Spring 2023, Mashle: Magic and Muscles has captivated audiences with its lighthearted approach and the protagonist's ability to turn powerful moves into comedic moments. Episode #10 showcases the series' comedic prowess by parodying shonen heroes, proving that no one is safe from its satire.
In this episode, Mash, the non-magical protagonist, confronts a formidable opponent, Rayne, who serves as a prefect and Divine Visionary in their dorm. Despite lacking magical abilities, Mash relies on his extraordinary muscle strength to overcome the seemingly impossible task of defeating Rayne and pursuing the villain Abel. Once again, Mash effortlessly mocks every magical attack thrown at him, this time drawing inspiration from the powers of a Fairy Tail character.
Mashle Completely Roasts Fairy Tail's Erza
In episode #10 of Mashle: Magic and Muscles, the ongoing competition between Houses Adler and Lang took center stage, focusing on Finn and Dot from House Adler and Milo Genius and Love Cute from House Lang. However, amidst the intense rivalry, a notable side skirmish unfolded. Mash unexpectedly encountered Rayne, the prefect of House Adler, who decided to test his strength and determine if he was truly capable of fighting for their house and becoming a Divine Visionary. Without any hesitation, Rayne launched an attack, directing a sword straight towards Mash's head. Astonishingly, Mash effortlessly caught the sword with just two fingers, mere inches away from his face. This unexpected display of skill prompted Rayne to conjure up ten more swords, hoping to overwhelm Mash. However, instead of being impaled, Mash ingeniously utilized the magic swords to fashion a chair, showcasing his resourcefulness. He then skillfully wielded one sword to parry the rest of the incoming blades, effectively bringing the battle to an end.
Mash Would Absolutely Destroy Fairy Tail's Erza in a Fight
This battle drew the attention of fans because Rayne's magical abilities closely resemble the renowned power of Erza Scarlett, one of Fairy Tail's strongest mages. In the shonen series, Erza's Heaven's Wheel Armor is particularly formidable and allows her to summon and control numerous swords simultaneously, effortlessly defeating her adversaries. Hence, fans were both astonished and exhilarated when Mash effortlessly intercepted and redirected this familiar attack without breaking a sweat. For fans of both series, it was a delightful and reminiscent sight to witness how swiftly Mash manipulated the 100 swords to his advantage.
The recent parody in Mashle further establishes its position as a comedic shonen that can cleverly satirize other series in the market. The humor seamlessly intertwines with the intense battles, and the sword magic remains breathtaking and awe-inspiring. However, Mash's incredible muscle-based antics take the spotlight, leaving fans astounded. Don't miss out on the thrilling blend of action and comedy in episode 11 of Mashle: Magic and Muscles, airing on Crunchyroll, as a significant story arc reaches its conclusion.
