The best way to explain the Fifth is by understanding that it directly manipulates causality, not time. A big hint was given when she nullified Touko's runes mid cast by messing cause and effect!
first of all PEEEEAAAKKKKKK second of all in regards to soujyuro's power me and my friend had a theory in regards to it and his nature because Nasu said Sou was the strongest TM MC when he was fresh off the mountain and only got weaker the more as he got into civilization and gains individuality . Soujuurou being this strong before Mahoyo might be due to him not being integrated into the Common Sense of Man of the current era as he lived outside it, so his power would have been something steeped in Mystery which is why exposure to current civilization lessened it the more he adapts to it. Him gaining a proper sense of self also lessens said Mystery as one needs Mystery to fight the Mystic in TM. also what Touko said about the fifth being a (cause) or (effect) is because Basically with true magic there are two types, the magic that was created in order to reach the root (Cause) which is what happened with second, third and fourth magic, And the second type is magic gained upon reaching the root and making a path to it (effect), which is how the first and fifth magic were discovered, and touko is drawing parallels between the two hinting at a future fight between the two, there's lastly a theory very likely in regards to soujyuro's neck and past but i will leave that for when you read the final chapter.
This chapter is my favorite, soujuurou throwing hands at Beo was crazy, the same as aoko activating true magic. It was good to see you guys enjoy this chapter so much as well.
