Damn, did Zanka just bite it? Certainly seems like it. Though Jabber could have easily knocked him out with a toxin too so that might be the case.

That Bundus guy is an interesting fella, instead of fighting he just asked casual questions about the leader of the Cleaners, Arkha Corvus, and just having those answers, he gave out important info. Hard to tell exactly what his intentions are but he did make it clear that Arkha is mysterious and not even the Cleaners themselves know much about him, but he is at least seemingly human because of the sweets thing, and that was enough for Bundus, so I’m not sure if that means Bro and Dear get to avoid fighting or not but I am interested in what those little finger guys do coming from Bundus’ weapon.

And then there was the continued fight between Jabber and Zanka, it looked very awesome and Zanka was badass being able to take on a monster like Jabber, but he unfortunately couldn’t win from the looks of it, he really tried but it’s that natural talent like Zanka himself said, the dream of winning was there tho. I’m not sure if I buy that he’s dead, but it was not looking good for him at the very end, I’d respect the balls to kill him off now but I like Zanka so I hope this isn’t the end for him, I saw someone mention that he never used the spell put on him by Remlin so perhaps that might come into play here, it would feel a little cheap but giving how strong Jabber is, I think Zanka needs a little cheat here.

Even though there aren’t many battle scenes, the pieces of information are starting to come together in this episode.

As for the fight scene between Zanka and Jabber, honestly, I feel sorry for Zanka — he’s always portrayed as the one who loses.

R.I.P. Zanka (I think). I'd be a bit annoyed if he ended up living after that, but since it's just the first season, I'm not going to be too mad about it. But if this was the third season and this happened and Zanka ended up living, I'd be so damn pissed.

Man, that Zanka vs. Jabber fight looked so cool. Especially during the latter half.
And talking about Zanka, I'm starting to feel bad for him. Getting matched up with the lunatic of the enemy gang must suck so bad.

This episode was great.

Zodyl eating a cockroach is so funny to me; he's so stupidly serious about everything. Bro and Bundus' conversation was also interesting; as a manga reader, I made some new connections midway through. Bundus is actually quite the chill Raider.

Of course, we have to talk about Zanka vs Jabber. The animation was fantastic this episode, on par with the best battle shōnens, even; I wonder if this is one of the scenes Yutaka Nakamura storyboarded in this arc. Zanka's pure determination was really highlighted throughout the entire fight; I feel like this is one of the moments where the anime elevated the manga.

Bundus is very perceptive to glean information from Bro's lack of it on Corvus. Bro is a good dad just trying to avoid Dear from getting too cranky, even in this perilous situation!

Zanka was doing his thing but Jabber still landed a blow. With a poisoner that's literally all it takes to end the battle too. I hope he's not really dead!

As expected, Zanka went down in the end. Still, he put up a solid fight, and the animation during that sequence was top-tier. Every strike from his stick felt heavy and impactful; you could really feel the weight behind each blow.

If Jabber survives more than 2,3 episodes I might have to drop this. He’s absolutely unbearable

Ah damn. Guessing they wouldn't 'waste' an important character's death on a cliffhanger like that, and that he'll come back because of some graffiti tattoo or something.

Well, it was a good fight, and the action sequences were pretty good too ... You did well to hold your own against the superior opponent, but in the end, it just wasn't enough.

Wait. *laugh* Waitwaitwaitwaitwait. WAIT A DAMN MINUTE. That just didn't happen, right? There's no way. What about the stuff about it not happening? If it actually happened, then it breaks some type of rule, right? I mean usually after that, they win and stuff. Um, can't wait for the next episode.
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load.

The fight between Zanka and Jabber was really good. Really enjoyed it. Intense and with a lot at stake. I hope Zanka is okay there at the end. Rudo and the boss are still in the middle of their conversation. Bro is dealing with his own problems. LOL

The matchup between Dear and Bro Santa against Bundus, it looks as if it's just old men in deep conversation, but the latter clearly stating his objective of wanting to know the other side's boss of Arkha Corvus, it's definitely private and valuable intel not easily told.

The emergency allocated to the Cleaners' leader, whom he'll allocate to an info broker he knows, it's the same between Bro Santa and Bundus on an individualistic level, though the latter really uses his words as his vital instrument to deduce the info he only needs. And on the other hand, Jabber is just waiting for Zanka to pop before the real fun can begin for him.

Back to Zodyl and Kudo, the paralysis of the Ground and the Sphere, as do the latter's revenge on those who oppress him and his loved ones, it all veins on the "common sense" of things, though this doesn't apply to the talented ones like Jabber, that Zanka is slowly feeling overwhelmed until he's able to get a control over the psychopath in his all-out mode, that sadly, the latter has no chance of winning.

Jabber is seriously wicked, for a raging good reason. One of the stronger villains who's proved his weight each and every time.

Wow! GOATed animation for the Zanka/Jabber fight. I really enjoyed the choreography, as well as Zanka's inner monologue. Seeing the light go out in his eyes was awful, though. I really hope this isn't the end for him. And I wonder who that sword girl in his vision is.

The discussion with Zaddy Zodyl is really interesting! The "trash worshipers" were an eerie sight.

Also, I wonder what Bundus' deal is. His scene was pretty funny.

Very intense episode, but man, the pacing is quite slow. Can't say that's a bad thing quite yet, as we haven't gotten the big payoff. I'll see how I feel about the pacing when that comes.
