Guita is GOAT'd. Between her super cute design and personality, I knew she would be. I had a feeling she had the ability to transform due to her outfit, glad I was right, because that ability is awesome. I wonder how many levels there are?

Whatever that thing was at the border, it had the symbol of the watchman series. It almost looked like some kind of god that patrols or "watches" the border. The plot thickens.

@Yasminaa slow, and no, unless we skip 11+ plus chapters for a certain reveal

so it depends, if we skip some chapters, high chance there would be an exciting reveal but if not, very boring last two episodes

First things first, Thank you very much for replying! :)
So, in your opinion, How many chapters do we have to endure to get to a faster pace?

So Noerde loved Zodyl so much that the comb given by him to her became her vital instrument.. 🥺🥺❤️
Was that Fu's vital instrument that he addressed as Hii !? 😮😮
Guita's kaiju suit turns her into a kaiju.. that's an insane vital instrument.
If her size 3 is this big, I wonder how much more she can grew in size.. 😲❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
Rudo was able to collect only Amo's boots 😔😔
Noerde mentioned the guardian at the border as Watchmen.. is that thing related to the watchmen series ??
since Zodyl mentioned that the Trash Beast had the power of protection to cross the border, I guess he had some idea about the Guardian/watchman.
@Niwaka-Samurai did you not see the Watchmen series emblem unveiled as the deity's head in the reflection of Noerde's eye?

They did Guita justice.

This episode dropped a lot of important information; I'm not an anime-only so I won't comment on them.

Something I don't see people talking about is the Kei Urana and Hideyoshi Andou (the demon and monkey) slippers that the kid from the beginning of the episode was wearing; this is anime-original. We know that Hideyoshi Andou was working especially closely with the anime team to design stuff, so I'm glad he was able to place his icons of him and Urana-sensei into the anime. He really deserves more recognition for his fantastic work on the series.

@Softhenic03 it'll definitely end at
it's really annoying how they keep dragging and stretching this out like at the end Rudo flashbacks with his talk with Zoldyl bruh, that was so unneeded
@Haunt88

The flashback was actually in the manga too, well, the part where he is discussing to himself what had happened between himself and Zodyl. In the manga, Rudo does this every now and then when he is processing a complex situation with another person. To me, it seems to reflect Regto's teachings, when he told him to try to imagine what's going on with other people. I think it is a great indication of how Rudo is growing and learning how to deal with confusing and overwhelming things.

But I can definitely see why it seemed like filler in the anime. I would've thought so too if I wasn't reading the manga.

@lazybishounen they're stretching the tf out of it tho, like the car scene with bro santa, pacifier kid and hand man, that happened but was stretched to 1000% a few panels is the entire first half of that episode bruh

Well, Noerde's comeback ended up being rather lame to my surprise. Though at least we learned a little more about The Border because of her. So, there is a sort of physical deity guarding it, huh? Not gonna lie, that revelation was sick asf.

And so, this arc comes to its end and somehow Zanka was the only one who got all messed up... lol.

@Yasminaa ~80 chapters have been adapted so far in 22 episodes, that's around 3-4 chapters per episode, sometimes 5, which is a relatively more faster pace for an anime. The manga has a lot of big panels and is very stylistic, so it's a normal pace. The series gets better from here on so yes there'll be better stuff coming.

Bruh the build for the last two episodes during this last arc have been so worth it, from the insane battle animation within the last episode to the great amount of lore with the border and even more ACTION in this episode, I cannot complain!

Can't believe work has caused me to watch this episode one week late, can't be missing peak like this!

Must say the comedy moments during tense situations are one of my favourite moments during these episodes, like poor Zanka being dragged across the ground by the floating Guita and everyone's rection was so good :D

@Haunt88 haha I see your frustration but like its of course going to move slower in animation especially talking parts. Like you can read something in 3 panels but if you voice act it out its gonna be longer.

The car scene definitely was stretched out tho they added some extra to that but it made me laugh so I didn't mind it much. thank god for manga, I can move on ahead of the anime but I'm almost all caught up tho imma be so sad.

I really wish they did not mentioned the name "watchman" in it. They should of just left it, watchers would have gotten it, or if not immediately they would later and it would be that much better.

The once-in-decades trash storm reaching the Sphere to the fear of the Sphereites, danger is but lurking ever closer.

Noerde's comeback putting both the Cleaners and the Raiders in danger, the latter group will be fine thanks to Chtoni's vital instrument, but the former group has got quite the electric inferno to deal with. While Yu contemplates his abandonment with help just around the corner, and Riyo regretting that she should've cleared Noerde at the time, the hole that opened up within the trash beast to signal Noerde's sacrifice as what she could do to help Zodyl, the truth about the border, however, paints a different picture where the Watchman Series of instruments, plays an even bigger role than they thought.

It's the same for the Cleaners surviving against the trash beast's hole, though the unlikely Guita with her vital instrument turning her into a kaiju and sealing the hole with her butt, as hilarious as it looks, there's finally no interruptions for Enjin and the rest to take the imitation down and have everyone safe onto the ground in one piece. Still, Rudo not being able to learn about Amo, nor the Watchman Series and Zodyl's reason behind his crazy experiment, it's all drawing a blank for now. Whatever it is, the long battle's finally over, and the trouble's been one handful for Rudo.

The mysteries of the Watchman Series, that's quite the focal point ahead to look into...

Guita's vital instrument was rad, and that was only her at three! I can't imagine how they'd transform going all out.

Noerde nearly made it lights out for the cleaners, but a vacuum and a not so friendly giant border monster turned that ambition into dust. What a strange thieving threat...

The Guita reveal wasn't unexpected, but it was still extremely satisfying after this long wait!

I also enjoyed the subdued cosmic horror of the episode. The Noerde scene was shocking.

Seems like the "border" is being protected by a watchman. I wonder if you have to have one of the series in order for it to let you go between the borders... Of all the episodes in this arc, that moment was the only thing that piqued my interest. I thought the pacing of the material in this arc was slow; there was two decent fights with a lackluster endings and a bunch of talk about almost nothing. And I'm not loving the character development for anyone; the villains are boring, and the main cast is just quirky, but not that appealing or cool to me. Zanka had a lot of potential with a great backstory, but it was burned into flames by the author who clearly hates him (his aura is completely at zero, now). Guita is fun, though.

RIP Noerde. She’s terrifying when she goes all out, but somehow still not as scary as the giant Watchman at the border.

Ain't nmo way, Noerde came, zapped the cleaners, got sucked out and then got herself Thanos snapped out of existence by the Watchman 💀

Well, there goes the final climax of this arc. We now know this Watchman entity is the one that monitors the border and somehow has an immensely eerie ability to wipe people off within the border. I assume those that do not get wiped off is becuase they wear a part of the watchman series, which is why Rudo just falls down.

Guita's Kaiju form would've been a massive help to all the fights within the giant flying trashbeast, but she got knocked out and only started becoming useful near the ned, but thanks to her, the cleaners manage to get away easily and safely.

It's too bad that Rudo didn't get much intel out of Zodyl, not even Amo's whereabouts. At least he got her boots. Which makes me wonder... What if Rudo wears both his pair of 3R gloves and Amo's boots? What if an individual wear several or all pieces of the watchman series, do they become the avatar of watchman?
