Well there's always more in the manga!

I found it to be a little ham-fisted? And it felt like uneccessary padding to keep the episode up to the same length as the others, so, yeah, the turning into a weapon bit was a little weird. At the same time though, I can see why she usually wouldn't have used it? I mean, in every other fight she's already wielding Soul, two weapons aren't better than one when only one of them is a Meister/Technician.

I can accept Asura's loss, because, for once, it actually is a developed point through out the series. Asura is a coward. He is a creature born of fear (Literally, he's Shinigami's fear given a body) and gave into madness in order to deal with his fears. Which only made it worse because the whole "insanity makes you fearless" bit is a lie. Either way, they made it entirely clear that he was a coward and shit scared of things that he couldn't understand (Fear of the unknown), hence, his ass got dun broke by courage.
