I did find it kind of odd that Ginko kept using the spear and katana on each hand, even after it was 1-on-1, at least her sword is meant to be used with both hands (as we’ve seen in previous chapters).

Maybe now she will just cut through the enemy (and through his flashbacks).

I am... kinda confused about how things will go.

What I mean is this... Ginko is terrifyingly physically strong, but she has no magic, the humans of this world can empower their bodies with magic, and the demons have naturally strong bodies but use a lot of magic too.

The "new" demons are really strong, to the point many heroes aren't able to deal with them, even the high-level ones... but somehow Ginko can, just with her physical strength... and that doesn't click well in my mind.

With the witch I can understand... her magic is pretty much undefendable, but Ginko not having mana is immune, ok pretty easy to understand.

But somehow Ginko has been shown to physically overpower heroes and demons alike... but it doesn't feel like she should be able to be entirely immune to magic altogether, which she isn't.

I may be thinking too much, but I think it is because this story hints at an explanation and reason for all of that, but... it doesn't seem like that explanation will ever come.

But don't get me wrong, this doesn't ruin the story in the slightest, I am just theory crafting so to speak, and wanted to write my thoughts.

Yeah, the explanation is that she is somehow special but the how hasn't been revealed yet, or just samurai wanking because muh 100000000 times folded steel and samurai guts.

this point is actually explainable by the fact that Ginko did have her arm re-acttached with magic, and if we are to assume she doesn't have any magic herself because she came from earth, then her partial transformation when the witch activated the magic in her body would have come from the magic that was still left from Ginko being healed by Grunica. So she's not directly immune to magic, but rather she doesn't inherently have any magic in her body but someone can infuse magic into Ginko and one of the ways we know that can happen is by healing her wounds/re-attaching bodyparts.

Aside from that Ginko is just strong as fuck through the power of being the ultimate samurai lmao.

Her mother ripped off her father's ear casually on accident, her strenght might be genetic. Who knows, maybe Ginko isn't even fully human and half oni or something.

My wife is just built better, pure & simple.

She's supposed to be the greatest warrior, same as the original savior this other world had (King Arthur), who we can assume since he came from Earth didn't have magic powers as well. Plus unlike the isekai world Ginko actually fights and kills humans which gives her a different skill set.
