How did Galfa make Maria temporarily lose her powers? In episode 9 of Maria the Virgin Witch, Maria temporarily lost her powers after she was beaten by Galfa. 

How did he make them go away for only a slight amount of time without taking her virginity?
When I watched the anime long ago, I also had the same question and discussed it in online forums. There were mainly 2 opinions regarding this.

First was that Galfa only beats her up and pretends to sexually assault Maria, and combined with the smoke drug it makes Maria think that she has lost her virginity, sort of like a mental block.

The second, more crude theory was that he actually did violate her, but uhh..only with the finger of his artificial metal hand so it did not count as losing her virginity. 

I prefer to believe that it was the first.
