“Why is she using physical attacks when she’s a witch?” Loid overlooking Yor’s extreme physical prowess is gold

I love how yor does everything that would give her being not a normal person away but loid just never questions it

I like how at no point did he actually attack Yor. He stayed on defense the entire time and once her heel broke, he just worriedly asks if she's alright. Oddly wholesome.

I don't think people get the entire joke of this show when they ask, "Why can't they recognize the other's abilities?" They spell it out in the very first episode when Anya asks Loid for a gun with a silencer and he says back to her, "we'll see if they have one." These people have next to no experience living normal lives. When they see someone doing kung fu or bashing someone's brains in with a pipe, that's their version of normal. It's why Loid and Yor are so comfortable with each other: They're both freaks.

‘Why is she using physical attacks when she’s a witch’ That’s the part he finds weird, not her inhuman strength while being an office worker

Best part is the "ah" when her heel breaks. That shoe saved Loid's life.

The fact you can see Yor notices that loid ducks whenever she throws a hook and then punishing that duck with an uppercut is really neat to see

Love how Loid is more worried about story content then what is happening in front of him, because for a spy keeping your story straight is key to survival.

Loid: I am my country’s most skillful spy. I can determine the ins and outs of anyone I meet Yor: *demonstrates near superhuman strength and fighting prowess* Loid: She’s just an office worker

Yor: "I take defense classes." Also Yor: Unleashes a deadly assault against her own husband who's clearly just defending himself.

Everyone’s pointed out loid not being able to see yor being abnormally strong or being an assassin, but are we going to ignore loid’s almost impeccable guard defence

One thing I love is that Yor's hits actually feel like hits, not practically tickling like in most shounen animes.

I just love how Yor went from a killing machine to a sleeping teddy bear in a literal drop. Remember to hide your alcoholic beverages, when you see her everyone!

"why is she using physical attacks when she's a witch?!" Loid you fool, could you not tell she was using magic to greatly enhance her physical strength?

In a dark, twisted way, it’s kind of adorable that her drunken mind thought she was protecting Anya

I love how this whole episode Yor’s just in the background slamming the wine, and Anya’s just like, “Mama’s here too and stuff.” 🤣

Notice how she walked so innocently towards him like she wasn't about to completely rearrange his face with that kick. Dropping the guard of her target before striking in a very assassin-like fashion and kind of reminds me of Assassination Classroom

Slice of life anime having better fight scenes than most popular shonen anime nowadays lol

People are somehow failing to see the absolutely absurdly good defense and strength Loid showed here by simply blocking and evading all those strikes. Blocking head kicks is extremely difficult even if you're on par physically with the person throwing the kick because the attacker has the leverage, legs are a hell of a lot stronger than arms especially proportionally, and she clearly was not holding back. He avoided by far the majority of her attacks but he still blocked 9 punches and a minimum of 20 kicks. The 20th and final kick being the one to break his guard. That's stupidly impressive.

I love how all three of the characters don’t know what normal is and can’t distinguish between the norm and the absurdity that each of them constantly brings to the table. Loid is a therapist that throws grenades at his patients, Yor can stop a bull with acupuncture, and Anya constantly spouts nonsense that Loid has such a hilarious go with the flow attitude about

I like how Yoru adapts to Loid’s moves at 0:37 and lands the uppercut She does the same combo twice with the last hit being different

Honestly I'm impressed Loid's arms aren't broken. Those kicks will get some ridiculous feats later in the anime.

Seriously, I keep replaying this scene, for the animation. Knowing it's a romcom, it's amazing who they just nailed this fight scene.

Amazing attention to detail, they didn't just make the fight random flashy attacks like most animators do, they made openings and set ups, for example when yor was throwing hooks and loid kept bending forward to dodge them, she started going for uppercuts, then every time she broke his guard with small attacks she'd throw a big one to capitalize. You gotta love when an animators goes above the status quo just to flex their creative talents.

0:40 she actually lifted him off the ground with that uppercut! Just as impressive is he tanked it! He’s lucky she took herself out lol

Does anyone else love that little walk Yor does before they scrap? I find it funny that Yor was made the final boss in this “mission” despite the fact Franky and Loid are unaware of her being an unusually strong assassin. XD

0:15 - 0:17 - I've heard a lot of sound effects used to illustrate the ferocity, speed and power of an attack, but that's absolutely insanely terrifying. It's a good thing Loid's got fantastic reflexes.

Everyone mentions how Loid doesn't find it weird she's so strong But I find to funnier how he just fully knows he stands no chance

The fact loid was more concerned about how a witch can be physical rather than questioning how yor can fight like that

“Why is she using physical attacks when she’s a witch?” Yor: I CAST “KICK”

Loid taking her full-force punch to the sternum and not being bothered is the most impressive thing about this, honestly.

Shouts-out to the poorly made stilettos for saving Loids life. Operation Strix would've been a doozy

Damn, Yor would be a superstar in UFC, just look at the play-by-play! 0:15 Spinning Side Kick; 0:30 Left Jab to the head; 0:31 Right Cross to the head followed by a Roundhouse Kick and Spinning Hook Kick using the Roundhouse's momentum; 0:32 Right Kick to the side of the head; 0:34 Flurry of Back Upkicks *from the ground* (Capoeira knowledge?); 0:37 Right Cross(?); 0:38 Left Jab, followed by a Cross; 0:39 Opposing Uppercuts (Both dodged); 0:40 Double Left Jab and Left Hook to the head (Blocked by Loid); 0:41 Right Uppercut *To the body* (Excellent Fight IQ on display here - Saw that the head shots were being blocked, and switches to body shots); 0:41 Left Kick to the head; 0:42 Right Kick to the head; 0:43 Left Kick again; 0:44 Right Legged Axe Kick(?); 0:45 Right Kick to the head (Possible Roundhouse?) 0:46 And the last impact is an Upward Straight Kick *Under his Guard* to expose himself. 0:48 And was instants away from finishing Loid with a lethal Spinning Side Kick to the face, but our Spy Dad gets saved by a broken heel.

People debating Yor vs Loid Yor would have an advantage because she specializes in combat, while spies generally tend to avoid direct confrontation with their target. In terms of experience, Yor would have more. Even if Loid does posses those skills, if he were a great spy (which he is) he wouldn't have a need to use them as much as Yor would as an assassin

For everyone questioning why Loid doesn't find Yor's physical prowess suspicious, he's literally such a perfectionist constantly pushing past normal human limitations that he's skewed his own perspective of normalcy, which he doesn't seem to realize.

- Starting off with a Launching kick, to get Loid off-guard. - Followed by her first Combo with a Jab, Hook, Rear Hook while putting some spinning/-light kicks into her arsenal. - After catching up that Loid is blocking them she goes for the same combo but ending it with a uppercut instead of a rear hook. - After that she goes for some head kicks both left & right, in other to break Loids defense she throws a Punt kick. - Before she breaks her heels she does a great Attempt doing a spinning Kick. *Notes:* When she did the thing where she was on the ground spamming kicks, I don't think it's possible to do that many kicks while having so much strength in your Arms to keep you on a 60°~70° Angle. My most favorite Part is Yor adding Kicks into her Arsenal. As a Lady she will always have a weight gap against Men, In other to compensate her lack of KO-Power in her Arms she uses her Legs, that's awesome. Easily my #1 Anime fight Scene choreography-wise.

Thank god Yor stood on the sidelines until she was called by Franky, because if she had been on Loid's side saving Anya, then the organization would have fewer agents than they usually do.

I love that Loid is stuck between a rock and a hard place and can’t really ask about Yor’s physical abilities because he’s done some questionable stuff in front of her as well so they both have to play it off as pure luck lol

the little sound she makes when she slips is so adorable

Loid is truly this woman's perfect match. He can resist her punches even for a little bit when no one else can.

Yor became the successor of the Drunken Fist for a quick minute

That little "Ah...!" right before she passes out gets me every time.

Loid is surprisingly durable. Remember that Yor has shown herself as strong enough to send grown men flying with her kicks, she's currently too drunk to hold back, and Loid still managed to tank her hits enough to keeping standing despite all that.

Yor and Loid have literal superhuman physical and mental prowess respectively and they’re not even considered to be the family member with superpowers. Anime man I tell ya. Crazy

Can we appreciate the fact that even drunken Yor only thinks in protect Anya? Drunken and all, but her maternal instincts are crazy!

0:37 Yor throwing those hands looked so clean 🔥

SUPERB fighting IQ!! Yor catches onto Loid dodging her hooks and immediately adapts to it by throwing an uppercut at the end of her combo. What a scene! Animators deserve a praise.

Her little "huh" when she trips

Yor’s walk cycle at the beginning is SO good. So much character in it

How tf does this show have better fight choreography than like 95% of Hollywood.

Truly underrated is the combat sequence used by Yor. The punch combination used by her was excellent. She uses a sequence which Loid blocks then she repeated the same sequence which conditioned Loid and she mixed up the ending and got the hit.

I reaaallly hope we get more scenes like this with Yor showing off her skills and Assassin side. It's sooo cool when it happens. Plus it'd just be nice to see it to empathize deeper with. Still love that they use whatever chance they can to give peeks to it though.

Loid is too self assured to imagine that yor could possibly have a side to her that he didn't dig up in his background check, and so any evidence that contradicts the assumptions he already made simply is discarded in his mind.

R.I.P. Loid gloves & Yor heel They were sacrificed to save Loid from being killed by a drunk assassin

The little “ah” she made when the heel broke was so goddamn cute xD

0:37 the most satisfying combo I’ve witnessed

Little detail but I like how at 0:41 you can see Loid's gloves disintegrating from the sheer force of Yor's kicks.

The way she walks is lowkey kinda mesmerizing 😂

And they say Heels area girl's best friend. They're certainly Loid's now. Especially the ones that break. I do like that this scene exists to remind you that this was published in Shounen Jump.

Yor’s little “ah” when she falls down is gold

I love the fact that he makes nothing out of his fake wife being an incredible fighter despite being just a civil servant.

Yor hasn't been a mother for very long but it's good to see that she willing to protect Anya, even if she's drunk

You know a little detail I like about this scene was how Loid's gloves were slowly worn down and then destroyed from the continuous strikes from Yor which is really neat since you don't often see that sort of real time showcase of battle damage in a show clearly since it's often obscured by bright flashes or intense moves to transition from being completely spotless to being torn up, or just have it typically recycled like in Dragon Ball. Nice detail to see is all

It’s honestly so sweet how she would do everything in her being to protect Anya 😭😭✨✨✨💖

She done kicked the gloves off his hands. Loid owes his life to that flimsy heel.

0:13 That windup is insanely good. The momentum in this series is amazingly done

that was the cutest "ah" I´ve ever heard

Is it crazy that the animation is so well done, that I (and presumably everyone else) can tell that Yor knows American Boxing? Plus, that little squeak she made when she slipped before passing out was adorable.

“Why is she using physical attacks when she’s a witch?” Clearly Loid has never played Bayonetta

As intelligent and deductive as Loid is, how has he not just realized "Oh, Yor is an assassin" like c'mon bro. Blinded by love...

It's known fact that all moms have a secret transformation that's makes them look 100 times more scary than they are

When she passed out after giving him consistent lefts and rights, I laughed so hard. 😭🤣

This fight was done perfectly

Honestly, Twilight is a badass for coming out of that with just a small cut

I really love how the song suddenly drifts off on a single note like that as though to say “The beast is gone, though not because you beat them.”

Loid: “Why is she using physical attacks when she’s a witch?” Yor: "Fine then, I summon you to catch these hands"

The sound and the reverb from when Yor steps on the ground at 0:05 is crazy. I love it. Gave her such a badass feel

If I was Loid, I would never give Yor alcohol ever again 😭

Surprisingly good fight animations for such a short scene. I like how the writers realize Loid can’t match Yors fighting skill so basically Yor has to defeat herself by passing out.

0:16 her kick was so strong she caused a wind storm

Can we talk about Yor's pressure? That double jab tied with a lead hook followed by a rear upper cut was pure magic.

His gloves disintegrated. Seems like magic to me. She's doing fine as a witch.

That double kick where she feints to each side was so sick

Can we appreciate how certified Yor is with them hands, straight up mixing twilight like a champ

0:07 that walk is one of the best things I've ever seen

Yor "defending" her "own child" even if it's from her "dad". Best portrait of a mom in anime ever. Ps. I have a dad and I love him, it's just a comment. Thank you for the likes.

Ok but, the fact that she’s still willing to protect Anya even when she’s drunk proves how much of a great mother she is-

It's the boxing jabs that got me. Yor got hands for days!

This moment cemented Yor as best girl. That fall and that sleeping face? Priceless!

0:05 I'm surprised loid didnt notice the boss music, he should have known that something is wrong

That little plop to the ground gets me everytime, Yors a scary lady.

0:38 this is the best part for me.., I remember WIT's animation for annie vs eren fist fight

This scene was one of the best in a while across anime. In fact this whole episode was amazing.

Let’s be honest here Franky could EASILY solo both Loid & Yor as well as all the other agents in the mansion if he really wanted to

I don't know what's more surprising; the fact that Yor's superhuman strength didn't make him suspicious, or the fact that he was trying to make sense out of a a story for a children's game.

I can't get over how they animated the kicks just like a pro would throw them

That first kick sounded like a freakin jet engine. It probably would have knocked Loid’s head off if he had not dodged.

It’s amazing to see how she could still walk straight after all the wine she put down.

She hits him so hard his gloves were obliterated from the wear and tear. That emphasis on her strength. Love it.
