Okaru vs Evil Eye was insane... and Momo clutched to get the worm out and to kill it, but now it seems like that killing the worm god just made the volcano erupt and everything will be even worse lol

@MasterHavik even when she was about to get SAed she escaped on her own twice, Okarun & Turbo baba helped him but she wasn't completely helpless.
@WaterMage Okay that's fair but kind of adds to why I call her a plot device at time.

@MasterHavik God forbid a female is put in any dangerous situation in the year 2025, because everyone knows that such beings of light are inmune to dangers and being in one is automatically sexists or something like that.

Your two examples are bad takes. In both cases she is:
1 - Not asking a man in particular for help, even less a prince charming
2 - She saves herself using her own capacities
3 - The external help she receives is from a woman (turbo granny, be it by possessing okarun in 1st ep or by using her "luck" in the onsen or when she was inside the backpack)

I can accept that she got saved by Okarun in this episode (first time it actually happens), but even so she was fighting on her own and Okarun was just a clutch that was going to join sooner or later to pair with her.
She then proceeded to defeat the bigger threat of the arc by herself.

Okarun has been in danger time and time again and always saved by momo, is he a guy in distress or just someone going through the events of the story that coincidentially are dangerous in most cases?
@CorbanEsp There is a way to put a female characters in dangerous situation without having to go to the SA route. Like go play RE3 for example dude. also, I never called the show sexist, I just said she has been a damsel at times. She is also a plot device for a good amount of season 1and part of season 2. She is earning her keep this arc, which is great. I'm happy to see that narrative is starting to shake off from her. I don't mind being wrong but it is just criticism and not a "bad take".

No need to be so defensive. I love the show. Momo is doing what I want to see from Pop Step. I'm fine with being proven wrong as that meas the show is even better. Let's stop putting her in the same situation as you can put a female character in danger without going that route. Even Made in Abyss understands this and their female lead is legit 10 years old.

Relax man we're all fans at the end of the day.

it was amazing, okarun's powers got an upgrade and that 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 was so peak. it was like a JOJO reference like the 7 page Muda gold experience

I loved the visuals with all this strobing the whole fighting and chase sequences look great. That was pretty smart of Momo to burn the house down to get firemen to saturate the ground in water. I was so caught up in everything the end of the episode caught up unexpectedly. It felt short.

Episode 3 really got me hooked, especially with the sound effects of the Evil Eye spirit orb. Then, when the Evil Eye appeared, the atmosphere and color tone shifted instantly — it was so well done.

This episode was awesome! I enjoyed the action tremendously. Momo and Okarun demonstrated a lot of ingenuity in this one with the rocket launch and the earthworm suicide!

Also, I loved when Okarun called Jiji his "dear friend." :')

Lol, how can Evil Eye, despite being evil and naked, be less annoying than Jiji?

Cool fight between Okarun and Evil Eye. Really enjoyed it and the conclusion with Okarun knocking him out via "serious squats" was ridiculously epic.
Crazy cliffhanger, btw. Please tell me the volcano erupted because of the earthquake the Earthworm caused and not because those cultists were right...

The fight between him and Okarun looked sick. And for anyone saying there's only fanservice for the guys, there were plenty of ass shots from Jiji during these episodes, lol.

Everyone makes dumb faces in this show, but I do agree that Evil Eye is cooler

Okarun's transformation animations are so fucking smooth. Science Saru really is the GOAT.

Setting the house on fire to call for help was smart. But Momo almost got arrested there. I didn't know that fact about worms. It's great how this anime just finds the most random ideas to create monsters and the ways to defeat them.

Okarun really kicked the shit out of Jiji. His powers are no joke. I'm glad that just because there's a newer character, the original didn't get nerfed. Turbo Granny's situation is funny but also miserable. I was wondering where she went lol.

Wait, the Kitos are still alive?! What the fuck. Of all the people, why did these assholes have to live?! Ugh. I hope they'll die in the next episode because of the volcano. Characters like them have no redeeming qualities.

But they were right about the volcano tho. So at least there's that. Wonder how the hell Momo and the others will stop a cataclysmic event like that. This show really went bonkers. From revealing the deathworm to the public and now the kids having to stop at least a town-ending event. Things will just keep getting crazier and I'm all for it.

Tbh, Okarun losing wouldn't mean he's nerf. Jiji is just an overall better host as he's physically peak and spiritually a genius.

Did Momo just lift and throw a firetruck…? Those weigh quite literally the weight of 100-200 people… So why couldn’t she just throw everyone up, and then thrown herself up on a couch?

It’s just such a weird detail that they absolutely didn’t need to add (just don’t have the firetruck in the way of the sun).

@stevejawbs It was not the firetruck in the way of the sun. The worm hid behind the house to avoid the sunlight, so she picked up the truck and throw at it.

Jiji extra forced xD I would like to say they're cringe, but for most parts they make like "just stop it already" 😭

I admit I was expecting the volcano to erupt when the worm was defeated, it was the whole point of the rituals.

But I still don't like that Kido family, I really hope we'll get rid of them, they are so selfish!

Great fight, but disappointing ending, maybe there is something else next episode? I guess it will be the end of this story arc (started in the final episode of previous season).

@Royalty459 I guess that makes sense. I'm just glad that just cause Jiji is here, Okarun suddenly didn't become completely useless and needs to prove himself again.

This time we got fast-paced action portion of "Serpent God" arc. Okarun uses his powers to launch Momo towards the exit and spends the rest to take down possessed Jiji.Great animation, upbeat soundtrack climaxing with JoJo inspired punching flurry.
Meanwhile, Momo weaponized her childhood flashback to lure alien earthworm by setting the house on fire. She was dumb enough to admit arson to cops, but fortunately, Worm interrupted her arrest. Unfortunately, Worms' demise didn't stop the volcano from erupting. It's Momo's turn to get some serious buffs before the entire village melts in a blazing inferno.
Good action episode not counting a plot twist that revealed old sleazebags surviving worm digestion (didn't miss those characters for a second). Curious to see how heroes deal with the volcano in the next one.

... That was intense.

Still, i honestly agree this arc seems dragged for way too long. It's a relief Momo didn't actually get arrested for admitting arson, but also correctly guessed Okarun would have been dragged in the orange slime himself along with Cat Turbogranny and i would have preferred to see again those creepy old people.

The fight scenes were awesome! These felt like a modern take on an older anime, just can't quite place it. Maybe Naruto or a scene from one of the Monogatari series. Anyway, it was very cool. Didn't they say that the death worm was keeping the the volcano from erupting? Seems like things are about to get much worse.

Awesome episode - but this anime suffers from the classical "wtf it's over already?!" condition... or maybe it's me suffering from that condition.

...maybe I'm possessed by a yokai...

This is Kill la Kill brand of "over the top". It's just ridiculous - and I'm all about it. It's hilarious too - Gintama-esq comedy. I don't know how long the manga or whatever form this came in first actually is, but this is one I could probably watch for a good long time if it runs long enough.

That two stage rocket with Momo and Okarun was pretty cool. I like how even with all of these chaotic developments there's still time for our MCs to flex their worm knowledge.

Okarun was awesome using his 20 count combo against evil eye. But this situation has only gotten more dire, and Momo is having trouble getting assistance on the outside with all the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Maybe they can use the dried out worm as a staircase?
