Extra info/corrections/comments on this episode:
* I did the "arrows manipulation" trick to obtain a Lindblum Card with 7 arrows because Lindblum must have 7 arrows according to the cards ranking criterion I retained for the challenge, and is not among the easiest cards to obtain with 7 arrows in Disc 4 (even if the operation is likely to be useless because cards like Bahamut and Ark will have priority in Disc 4 regarding the allocation of 7 arrows combinations).
* A save in Treno is needed to do the "arrows manipulation" trick (having 99999 Hot & Cold points and a save in King Ed Plains is a better option than Treno, and I also have such a save at Disc 4 from another challenge, but I didn't want to waste my time pulling out the Disc 4); the trick is detailed in the video of which the link is the following:

* I got rid of learning the Night blue magic in this episode (at 28:23).
