As expected Chikara is a sensible guy. It's ok though. He's human so it's fine to cry every now and then. Not entirely sure what this episode was aiming for but it seems they wanted to deliver the character emotions.

Chikara is an underrated character imo that really shouldn't be overlooked. I guess they are warming up for this episode to prepare for future quests/arc. Exciting times ahead!

Oh, a new opening! I love this one too! Though don't like how it spoiled that Chikara will join Union, but oh well.
Hong Kong with no Chinese characters feels so awkward lol
It's sad that Chikara's promise will never be fulfilled :(
The ED is nice too.
Good episode. This made me like Chikara much more, looking forward to him being on missions. Can't wait for the quests being announced next week.

Well, Rip obviously didn't kick the bucket. There's gotta be someone down in the Under who can bring folks back from the dead.

Andy and Fuuko came to the front of the School to hear Chikara's response about joining the Union. Just then, Rip, who was thought to be dead, appears in the form of a young boy. Rip, claiming to have brought a present, hands an ancient artifact gun to Fuuko. The moment Fuuko receives the gun, the image of a god plotting to kill the Union floods into her mind. As Andy and Fuuko struggle to conceal their surprise, Rip begins to reveal the true purpose of the Under.

I'm a bit confused about what he means by "flipping the world on its head." I guess it's not literal, but more like they want the world to play by their rules, and not just that, but that humans should bear the brunt of it. Chikara, the quirky onion. It looks like Tatianna has a little crush on him because he got all self-conscious with only her hair covering her parts. It's kind of sweet and sad to see how excited Fuuko was about being in a school – just another reminder of how her power has shaped her life.

It's just really sad how alike she, Chikara, and Tatiana are in that respect.

Ah, so there is a new OP and ED after all. Ig it makes more sense for the OP and ED to change after the end of an arc. Still, I'm gonna miss the old OP and ED. They were insanely good. I don't think I can get used to the new ones cause I didn't like them much.

Not sure what nonsense Rip was rambling about. It seems like after "god" is done destroying the world he thinks he and his pals will be ruling whatever new world comes after it. Very arrogant.

Anyway, seems like Fuko now has an artifact. And now she'll get special combat training too. Now she will finally be able to fight more effectively. This is exciting.

Chikara finally joins the Union! I'm sure he'll lend his "power" to the team lol. But man, his story is tragic. Like Fuko and Tatiana, his parents were also victims of his negator ability randomly awakening. It's traumatizing. I wonder how they coped with the loss. I can't imagine going through that.

Looking forward to what this cour has to offer.

Damn man pretty emotional episode and it really feels like a turning point in the story with everyone taking their next step forward. New OP is here too and as I expected, it didn’t top Queen Bee’s banger, but it’s still solid. Visuals are great on it.

Ngl the 4-5 minute flashbacks in these episodes are starting to get a little old, lol. But picking up where we left off last week we see Rip’s alive and smol. Finally learnt about his organisation, under, and their goal of “making the world fair”. Their methods obviously being at odds with Union. That vision of the future that the artifact showed Fuuko and Andy was pretty wild too. The clock is ticking to defeat god.

But the best part of the episode was definitely Chikara coming into his own, leaving school and joining the union. I got a little emotional when we found out his ability led to his parents death. It’s no way they’d ever blame him for something he couldn’t control, but finding out he wanted to kill himself and blamed himself for it was really sad. I think Fuuko’s tears during that scene was most of us. Really tragic

At least, he was able to make one real friend at school in Ryo. Andy damn near tickling Fuuko to death during that scene was a nice comedic relief, but still really poignant. Especially when they used the memory erase on him 😢

11th member of the round table is officially here, can’t wait to get the next quest.

Laaaaaaaaame. This show is generic shounen pretending to be good now :(
They started by showing Fuko trying to commit suicide, went on and on about Andy trying to die, killed off an undeveloped enemy and made a pretty big deal out of having to kill Gina. Thats when this show was good. Now they just let the enemy go and fights like last ep have 0 consequences. Generic shounen it is now..

They even tried to make another generic sobstory but failed because the "kids accidentally killed their parents with their ability" trope was done THREE times now.

Plot is still potentially interesting but it really lost its fire.

I did not realize it last ep but Chikara joining means an annoying lame character in the group, meh.

PS: New OP spoiled Chikara joining and is worse than the first one. Andy tickling Fuko was kinda funny though.

I like Chikara, although I think his ability is still a bit lame.
Backstorys like this seem to get more and more common -> They all hurt/kill their loved ones accidently. This far it doesn't get old. It's still sad :(

Catchy new OP?

Rip gives them info about Under and The God, then poofs in dramatic fashion.

And here's another tragic backstory - what is it with all the negators accidentally killing off their families?? i.e. Fuuko and Tanya, now Chikara?

Chikara joins the Union, he and Fuuko get training but they skip the whole training montage, aww.

Next week, the new missions.

Wished the most average titles from shonen demographic weren't this soap opera like with cheap tears and sappy music to manipulate the audience so blatantly. You can tell a tragic story without the need to make it a cry-porn episode.

Anyways. At least we're back on track with the imminent danger and Apocalypse handing out new quests. Lets hope we're not getting more recap crap next episode.

Hmm Rip is not rip after all. He becomes chibi with artifact support his lives. Unrepair becomes Unrip.

Chikara is a funny boy, makes Fuuko laugh that hard. But damn that is indeed a tragic backstory with Truck-kun strikes again. Untouchable, Unluck, and Unmove have the similarities parents dead caused by their negate ability. So what's next?

Ah no, not with that preview, Billy! Why you need to do that after all Tatiana backstory several episodes ago? Now its makes sense why both him and Tatiana included on op. Also for Juiz and Victor, another highlight for the newly oped.

Idk what exactly goin on, so let's see next!

Being a Negator sure does suck. That makes 3 now whose power activated when it was sure to kill all of their loved ones. On top of the fact that they have to memory wipe their remaining friends so they don't worry about them disappearing.

@CannedMarmalade there's nothing wrong with this scene.
Fuuko's ability won't trigger if you touch her through her clothing, it'll only trigger if you touch her bare skin, and the unluck will begin to trigger after the person who touched her has stopped touching her.

How on Earth did this series introduce a rando character like Ryo— 16 minutes into the episode, and instantly, make me care intensely about his relationship to Chikara? Why was I so sad when he didn’t know why he was out of breath? I’m such a fan of this show!

Very good episode, so Rip really died... the question now is how did he come back from the dead? so many skills, items, etc. that we don't know at this moment
That being could really be God, it could be an UMA that appears in the future with the book of the apocalypse... we'll see if that's the case, the new member of Under is very cute haha
It's very sad that some abilities activate at exactly the wrong time.
PS: The scene with Chikara and Ryo seemed very typical Drama/Romance scene to me hahaha

That artifact huh, very interesting.

Finally we got New Op, is catchy but 01 is just GOATED man.
Not really like the ED song tbh, i prefer the first one.

Damn Chikara tragic backstory just like Fuuko and Tatiana.

Why is Ryo speaking Japanese?
Did they forgot the universal language was English now for non Negators? did they wearing some translation speaking device that i forgot about?

@Liberica I think @CannedMarmalade was referring to standard gun safety practices. Andy's finger is pushing right on the trigger of the gun. Since he's so experienced in fighting, it's natural to think that he would know how to properly and safely hold a gun. That's the lack of attention to detail that they're referring to. :D

Rip confirms that he did "die", but it seems that he's alive and kicking again, although in a younger form compared to before. Either way, he still didn't mince his words at declaring what his ultimate goal his after showing Andy and Fuko the gun artifact that showcased the "god" than Union are trying to kill off. He and his group, Under, will certainly be an obstacle that must be dealt with again in the future.

With that out of the way, I'm glad that Chikara decided to join the Union. What is now becoming a slightly more common theme with this series thanks to Fuko and Tatiana's backstory, Chikara's powers activated when his parents were crossing the road and, sadly, even this series can't escape from the deadly Truck-kun, which killed his parents. While I wouldn't blame him if he wanted to continue living a normal life, it would deny him the chance to fully atone for contributing to the death of his parents through tragic timing and circumstances.

He did make a tough decision to have Nico delete the memories that his school friends had of him, which I do respect him for that. Still, we did get some flashes of cute and comedic moments with Fuko, from her seeing what a high school looked like, and then getting tickled to unconsciousness by Andy. XD

I do like the new OP, despite it spoiling Chikara joining the Union beforehand. The ED is also pretty good from Okamoto, although I do miss the previous OP/ED songs. I'm sure I'll like the new OP/ED songs just as much in no time. =)

Lots of things to take out from this episode really.

For starters, Unrepair not only died but somehow came back to life, he showed them through his artifact who God is and what Under's intentions are. Truly, this has really become a quest to kill God and Chikara is in on it now. After Fuko's marvel at being in a normal classroom just like her manga fantasies we were able to witness Chikara's past and how miserable his parents' death was. Now it's time for him to atone and to literally erase his past until they are able to find a solution. Finally, after goint through some training Apocalypse is ready to give aout the next assignments to the members.

Something of relevance is what might be Juiz's relationship with Victor. Did they use to be lovers or something? By the ending sequence that's what it may look like and maybe she's trying to kill God in order to get him back over Andy who represents the negative power itself. Also Victor's mere presence is really mysterious, he must have been there when it all started I presume. Regardles, we'll see that in the next episodes.

PS: not a big fan of the new opening, it came out as too generic in my ears. The animation is good I suppose.

So Rip is alive but he said he was shot through the heart so my guess is that he started out as an infant again and will soon be fully grown, curious who or what has the resurrection ability with rapid growth. Also, Chikara joining the Union was spoiled by the new OP however that could've been a troll situation (even though it wasn't) as it has happened to another anime, specifically JJK Season 1...

Dang took us like 5 full minutes to get into the actual episode. Seriously what is with this pacing. I'm lucky this shit in online to watch if this was on tv I would have turned it off by minute 2.

Lots of escalation in this episode, my highlight was when Andy beat up a middle school child. The child gives them a gun, they get a vision of the future and decide to fight God. Watching that unfold was crazy and it sounds even more crazy while writing it.

Almost every episode of this show has left me wondering why I'm not liking it more cause it feels like its filled with stuff I'd dig but without me really feeling too strongly towards any of it. I like parts of it like the guy saying goodbye to his friend was well done enough but its closer to every ep of this show being in one ear and out the other the second its done and I'm just wondering what about it isnt doing it for me, I think the issue is its zany but not zany enough when its goofy and the serious bits have potential but the characters dont grab me so theres not much to latch onto

The 2nd Cour's OST is here with Shiyui's OP and OKAMOTO's ED, and they sound decent, which makes me miss the 1st Cour's OST all the more.

The battle against Unrepair Rip is done, and Chikara must make a decision on whether he should join the Union or not. But while awaiting that decision, Rip comes to them...in a chibi form?

Despite Andy's anguish, Rip is only here to give a present: the reason why the Negator Hunters are here with the Artifacts, to exterminate God faster than the Union can ever do. And right now, they're all over the world as the anti-Union group Under. But when Chikara hears of this, he can't help but squirm and run out of fear, not before Andy manages to catch him, citing a discussion in school. Of course, for Fuko. she's never been in a class and starts to dream about her read manga and all.

But on the serious talk, Chikara opens up about his life, which he killed his parents unconsciously due to his Unmove power. Despite his mother's best words, Chikara has to keep on living, despite being targeted by Under, then saved by Union, which gave him a second chance at life to atone for his powers. To that extent, Chikara will join the Union to kill God, as that would be what he wants to make his life worth fulfilling.

Good for Chikara Shigeno! The Union has its 11th member, as Apocalypse resounds yet another group of quests.

Man, that's got to be one of the saddest ways to learn you have a superpower. And Chikara's friend completely forgetting everything he knows about him point blank like that was painful in its own way too.
