You misunderstand. I dislike Yui in human form in both the novel and the anime. And it most definitely an arc. I didn't expect much from 11 & 12 because honestly they were some of the most boring parts of all 10 volumes.

Furthermore, it's not about tension, the episode was just badly done in comparison to the miracle they pulled last episode (It was well done). The Fatal Scythe didn't feel... Fatal. Gleameyes was scarier and he's 20 levels weaker. The plot was rushed. And the way they have been making Asuna behave in the anime leads you to believe she's just a teary eyed little girl. I feel bad for the people who haven't read the novel and don't know her true colors.

Basically I expected nothing, was teased by pleasant pacing and then slapped when they ruined it. I pray to every power in all the universes that episodes 14 & 15 don't sink on the same iceberg.
