Well, people were complaining about him being too strong last time, time for the other side to complain that he shouldn't ever get his ass beat.

Also, neat to see the knight's got some power too, just needs to work on his control proper or something.
IIRC, at early chapters, it was hinted that Arc were actually strong enough to be a royal knight. But instead he choose to stay as garrison knight and guarding the gate.

I personally prefer the Japanese honorifics. Depending on which one is used it changes the context of the relationships between people that doesn't really translate to English.
There's also a very weird sense of... inappropriate formality, is the best way I can describe it, in certain instances when you try to translate honorifics.

Like, "-san" is the single most common honorific in the Japanese language and basically everyone uses it, even elementary school children. So it's perfectly normal to see a 7-year old address a school friend as, for example, "Momo-san" or "Yuu-san".

But "-san" is almost always translated as "Mr./Ms./Mrs." in English, leading that same scenario to just feel weird, because now you have a 7-year old addressing their peers as "Ms. Momo" or "Mr. Yuu".

I think there are many ways to handle honorifics, with pros and cons to each... but changing how a translation uses honorifics in chapter 85 of a monthly series is not a really good idea.

As for the chapter, I think it would have been more impactful if we had some kind of foreshadowing about Ark's internal struggles or whatever. Without that, it feels more like a way to pad out the chapter and leave Usato's fight to the next one. (Or did Ark have such character development and I just forgot?)
