Well yeah, up until this point nothing really screamed shounen to me, but this right here finally did. The setup for the upcoming fights (maybe even for the rest of the season), along with the battles we got this episode, yeah, this was definitely the most shounen this show has ever felt.

That Jabber fight this episode was extra shounen, like seriously. At least the animation finally held up pretty well this time. The hand to hand stuff and choreography during their fight were actually solid, props for that. It’s nice to see things actually moving for once, unlike a certain other shounen airing right now. Anyway, looks like Riyo and the tall lady are up next.

He showed up, trapped everyone, didn’t bother explaining a thing to anyone who didn’t matter, washed them away with the trash flood, and made the main character himself look like a clown in his own show…

… that’s my man, Zodyl. Pretty ambitious though, destroying the sphere, but hey, we’ll see. Btw, all of this was just another excuse to let Zanka vs Jabber 2.0 to happen, or more like Zanka getting humbled again. But then again, we’ll see. I pretty much don’t like both of them, so yep, good that this time we’re getting other characters to add some value in the greater cause some way or the other too.
It’s a long arc and I think we’d have this running till the end of this season. Good one as well, so looking forward to some of those better parts.

Multi separated fight and each location has its own environment condition, it's quite a formulaic battle, but also it's very well done. Studio Bones is very efficient in creating an artistic animation at less than half of my hero academia budget.

Rudo is very lucky to meet cleaners first, he's just a teen so he can be swayed by whoever discover him first. I think he'd join raiders for sure if raiders find him first. And other raiders, including Jabber, might become a cleaner if cleaners find them first. But just like I said in previous episode, these two organizations may not be that different after all.

The matchups are underway and things are already looking shaky for Zanka and Riyo.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

Still stuck on how bad that Mori OP is 🤮.. other than that, banger episode, this arc is gonna be insane I can tell.

Ryo and Zanka matchups with Noerde and Jabber have them at a disadvantage initially, so it’s gonna be interesting to see how they surpass their current levels. Zanka looked completely shocked when he saw Jabber reveal his true power. Ryo went from trolling and taking everything as a joke to realizing she fucked up and underestimated Noerde lol. “Metal scissors against electric hair.. bad match up” Noerde flipping Ryo’s confidence back on her is so cunty, I love her

Enjin opponent seems like he’s a big fan so that one’s gonna be interesting to watch too. Rudo on the other hand is dealing with Typon’s mental games and wordplay. I like how their battle so far is one of the mind, not just fists. Solid set up episode, showed us the raiders’ personalities and had some solid animation for Zanka v Jabber and Ryo v Noerde, can’t wait for this to really get going.

These guys are beasts for being anywhere near fighting shape after getting swept up in the trashslide. All those rough edges rolling against your body like a liquid must've hurt like hell.

I love how Jabber's secret transformation is him with more claws per claw. Poor Riyo getting reverse Uno'd though.

The different reactions to the roaches was kind of insane considering they were about to go into battle. LOL
Can Rudo even hope to win a battle of MINDS? Yeah, I don't hold out much hope there.

I wasn’t expecting Jabber to upgrade that much, that sucks but the fight is going to be an interesting one. The only reason why Zanka won last time was because of Rudo, so hopefully he’ll be able to manage.

Riyo got a little cocky and that ended up poorly.

The person Enjin is going to fight seems like a fanboy but in real time?

I hope the little monster finds their way back! She’s so cute

Zodyl is full of aura ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

The man didn't waste time with petty conversations and got straight to the point.
"Wanna take down the sphere, you in or out" it's as simple as that.

Noerde showing off her long pretty hair and she fights with static electricity and dissing Riyo right after she told her that hair can't win against scissors lol

What! Jabber still hasn't shown his full strength !

I wonder how many secret abilities he will reveal until he is dead.
Zanka should make sure he takes care of that persistent bastard for good this time.

Can't wait to see how other Cleaners fare against the Raiders.

That OP is banging even harder on the second listen, I’m definitely liking it a lot even if I’m still missing the first one. And things got pretty heated in this episode with the Raiders splitting up to take on all of the Cleaners in separate one on one battles, well maybe except the Santa bros who are in a two on one, and Guita who ended up alone, but hey she found a cockroach at least lol, I liked the contrast in her reaction compared to Riyo’s there. And we already got a bit of the fights too, the main one being a rematch between Zanka and Jabber, it seemed like Zanka was playing things better this time but Jabber whipped out a new form after being crushed, that’s unfortunate for Zanka but great for us viewers because the fight is only gonna get crazier from here.

And we got a bit of Riyo versus Noerde too, their back and forth was fun but Riyo ended up in a tough position after the power of Noerde’s weapon was revealed, yeah that’s gonna be a tough hairdo to snip up lol, it was a cool reversal tho since it seemed like this was a perfect matchup for Riyo, but she couldn’t have been more wrong, it’ll be interesting to see if/how she gets around the electric fence that is Noerde’s hair. And lastly is Rudo and the head honcho Zodyl, they haven’t started throwing hands yet but we did learn a bit about Zodyl here, like how he and Rudo aren’t so unalike in their goals, that’s pretty interesting but I don’t think Rudo is gonna end up joining the Raiders giving all they’ve done even if Zodyl’s logic makes sense. He’s a cool character tho, i definitely wanna see more of him.

uh it seems we're Shonen maxing this week!


Unlike last week's set up, it seems this weeks episode has been choke full of lore dumb. From my perspective it seems there was a lot of hints that we're given through out the episode. And massive amount of spoiler by the ending and the opening BUT they could be misdirection presented as if thats how the show will play out... so far I dont whats going to happen. That being said, Amo... might be alright? last week our main cast or characters-mainly Rudo were worried about Amo's well being, but from what it seems, dreads was the one who took the instrument away from her, and from what it looked like I dont think she's dead this might also be me coping and hoping shes safe.

Regardless, the hints that were laid bare for our eyes to feast were mostly revolving the "enemy", I will explain why its in quotes in a bit, the sphere, and what the vital instruments are supposed to be. NOW, I dont think the people we're fighting is the big bad, although thats what is being presented, it might be a friendship thing that might bloom later in the show. I have no clue, why? They (the "enemy") doesnt seem to be bent on destroying the cleaners, more so, trying to achieve a goal that aligns more with Rudo's goal? at least according to Zodyl. With his, aggressive, questioning he got Rudo-and me about what the actually achievement it is that the Cleaners were ACTAULLY after, is it aligned with Rudo's goal? if so, this thinking part wouldnt prove fruitful. But if they weren't then are they working with the sphere heads to do something on the ground? and the employed cleaners have no clue in the matter? perhaps, but also, why did Zodyl want with the sphere? is he telling Rudo not to go (obviously not), he also argues as if he was either fighting the spheres or just talking? idk what's their goal? clearly, its to get the glove and the rest of the instruments... for who? for Zodyl? and then what? destroy the sphere? go ahead? idk man they aint sweet up there.


ANYWAY, It wasnt much writing this week, I got a lot on my plate unforunately, so I will rate this show and be on my way

Rating:
Plot: 10/10
goal: survive, and avoid roaches

Theme: 10/10
talking, ne ne ne ne

Characters: 9/10
I was a bit disappointed this weeks lack of OOMPH element that the other episodes had, aside from dreads he killed it

OST: 8/10
Beep boop

Overall: 9/10
it was great, but layer with mistary, the reason I'm giving it a 9 is due to the Shonen element of unnecessary exposition of complex power systems THAT PART WAS BORRING!!!


ANYWAY, thats all he wrote this fine day, stay in your skin suit boys and girls BBBYYYYEEEEEE

The Raiders really had the upper hand. They strategized this very well, from the separation to the matchups.

The Cleaners are gonna have to step it up because their opponents already feel like their gonna win this.

As for that claw dude, can he get more PSYCHOTIC?!

Some of yah could learn something from Zodyl if you would just listen...

Another well paced episode, it setup most of the fights as well as Rudo and Zodyl's relationship. It's vital for Rudo's growth to question his own motives, regardless of who made him do it

Is he Rudo's true dad, cast down by the Sphere similarly to how Rudo was framed and cast down as well? That'd be one hell of a twist. And explain why he's being both patronizing and sympathetic to Rudo. It could be that Rudo's gloves were once his gloves, given that he has the jacket. And now the gloves have a bond with Rudo because Rudo took immaculate care of them ever since his dad left the Sphere?

Great ep

This dude Enjin really choosing the wrong times to aurafarm, but ig it was tuff the way he was sitting on the umbrella.

Zodyl really is creepy asl.

Oh lord, Jabber getting high again off that poison.

These designs really don't disappoint, blonde looks clean asl.

Enjin's enemy thinks they're playing peekaboo huh.

Nah, Jabber's 100% vital instrument usage form looks tuff asl.

Really question how Riyo is gonna win against blonde, if she's using such electricity on her scissors just from her "silky" hair.

9.5/10

I really like how the emotional turmoil is portrayed in this episode.
It’s true — Rudo’s goal to return to Tenkai doesn’t necessarily mean he has to join the Sojiya.

I also enjoyed the scenes where the members of Sojiya and Arashiya fought each other.
Especially the Arashiya members — their Jinki actually have other upgraded forms, particularly Jabber.

From the beginning, I’ve really liked this anime; its concept is unique and different from the others.
I have no hesitation in giving this anime a rating of 9 out of 10.
