Episode 10

Defense and Attack is the tenth of the BOFURI anime series.

Summary
Sally and Kanade go hunting for more orbs while Chrome and the others prepare an ambush on any attackers, leaving Maple with Mai and Yui to defend the base. Sally soon finds herself surrounded by Frederica's forces, prompting Maple to leave the base to come to her aid and allowing Dread of the Holy Order to attack the base. Although Dread manages to deal Mai and Yui their first defeat, Maple manages to stop him before he steals any orbs. As Sally recuperates, Maple, May, and Yui launch an attack on the Flame Emperors, breaking through all of their traps before eventually coming up against Mii, Markus, and Misery.

Trivia & Notes

 * Maple Tree decides on their formation
 * Maple, Yui and Mai stay to protect the orbs, while the rest of the Guild splits up; Sally, Kasumi, Kanade go solo, while Iz supports Chrome.
 * The group later switches to Maple, Yui and Mai going on the offensive; allowing the others time to rest, and throw off any potential rumors about who from Maple Tree is out hunting orbs. If everyone thinks its just Maple, they can use that fear as misdirection to allow the others the element of suprise.
 * Dred knows where Maple Tree is hiding, meaning the Congregation of the Holy Swords can launch an attack at any point.
