Baffling how Rudo didn’t even think about asking about his gloves and other stuff until, you know, Zodyl has to bring it up. Dude is too hung up on Amo, sheesh. But yeah, nice to know Zodyl actually has a clear goal in his mind. Of course, imitating the entire watchman series was something that was never going to be a success just because someone wants it, but yeah, calling a cutting-edge trash beast a failure is wild lmao.

Being inside a trash beast this whole time and not knowing is indeed worthy of those kinds of reactions. But hey, crossing the border this easily isn’t something that is just going to happen, just because… once again, someone wants it.

Again, this episode gives some information of what's happened in the past, but not everything. And look like it'll stay this way for a while. At least the cleaners are having fun after knowing that they're inside a trash beast. Their job is to destroy them after all so I expect them to fair much better than fighting raiders.

Rudo: But I'm not crazy
Me: That's only because people around you are much crazier LOL

The buildup to Dear's power (both theatrical and literal) was immaculate.

Lmao at Zodyl and Cthoni's sideeye at Guita for popping in out of nowhere and shattering the serious atmosphere they've spent so long creating.

The way they used Dear's power to transition to the "to be continued" screen was really creative. The reveal of his power was dope too.
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.

Too many plot tangents that take too long for completion. Love the show but finishing the guns-a-blazing storyline from last week would have excited me more. Personally I’d rather have episodes that handle bits of each tangents rather than skipping conclusions. It extinguishes the excitement and tension doing it this way.

This MC has been a letdown 19 episodes in and I’m starting to care less and less about the supporting cast. But i guess that’s the trials and tribulations of creating a Shonen. You’re going to have a generic plot and hope the fights and characters carry the story for you. But so far, this show is lacking in a lot of departments. You could call this a Jack of all Trades anime to be precise.

Really could do away with the previous 2-3 episodes of separated fights, which brought close nothing to the story. Redhead being in some gang before amounts to nothing, guys from the other team are just a meaningless filler and a repeat of fight with the urban youth guy was a pure waste of time. Only now we're getting to the point of abduction. I checked out so much, I don't care anymore now that plot finally started to move again. It was the only title I've been looking forward to watching this season, but this awful pacing really killed the enjoyment. I doubt the ending can make up for so much wasted time.

Cool to see Dear Santa's power. He has a pacifer and his power is drain, makes sense actually. I'm really excited to see what Dino Girl's instrument is.

So as I kind of suspected, the Watchman Series is an all powerful series of instruments. Once gathered, you're likely unstoppable, but it comes at the cost of your sanity. It seems like Rudo's hands somehow are able to stop that insanity from creeping in.

So we finally know what this Watchman Series is, basically it’s a bunch of stupidly powerful vital instruments that make the wielder lose their sanity over time, with the exception of Zodyl and Rudo, and Zodyl is trying to collect them all to see how strong one would be while equipped with the whole set, there’s also the aspect of powering this massive flying trash beast they’re all inside of which was a pretty cool reveal, I like that they’re attempting to invade the Sphere like that, it’s just unfortunate for the Raiders that just knowing they’re inside a trash beast was enough to motivate all of the Cleaners, Guita’s reaction to that was great lol.

On the fronts of the other “fights”, Enjin and Fu still haven’t done anything, they’ve had funny interactions but I’m gonna go ahead and guess Fu might be really powerful, it’s just getting him to fight that’s the hard part. As for Dear and Bro against Bundus, they’ve finally been spurred into action with the trash beast reveal, and we got a taste of Dear’s power, that drain ability seems pretty strong and I like the way it was used to end the episode. With all the reveals in this one, I’m ready to see some action again next week.

As I expected, the watchman series turned out to be vital instruments used by a single person and it was already told that they're suitable for a person who is empty.
Never thought that they were actually inside a trash beast that is a flying bird which is gonna attempt to cross the border to reach the sphere. Zoldyck and the other raiders mere mention of the word Trash Beast was able to get them motivated lmao
Enjin is making funny faces 🤣😂😂
Dear's vital instrument looks so strong. Who would have thought that a pacifier could be turnout to be so powerful !?

Good ep

Learned sum more about the watchman series and why Zodyl wants it.

Real interesting how Rudo's stepfather got the glove set of the series, the only thought in my mind is that he stole it from somewhere.

LMAO, Enjin such a troll.

Dear is quite funny asl for that weak ass punch to the wall..

Let's see if they can break out soon.

We took a small look into Rudo's past, where he got his gloves from Regto. He has a lot of questions, it seems like, and rightfully so. We also saw a little bit of the Boss's motives and what he's trying to achieve here.

A big revelation that happened in this episode was the fact that all of them are in a Huge Tash Beast. And, after hearing that, all of them started getting pumped up for the action. The little baby being so strong was surprising, but I guess that was his power. Bro really understands the kid well.

Zodyl is obviously insane, he's not afraid to show that. Rudo on the other hand looks fairly sane, but only because he's surrounded by total batshit crazy all the time.

@alpo42ab honestly I doubt it. I am not a reader, but I expect the trash beast will hit the border and go sPLaT in a spectacular fashion. Of course it won't help that the Cleaners will be wrecking havoc on it's insides all the way.

Regto's possession of the Watchmen series gloves and that symbol-marked notebook makes his story even more interesting. Seeing him carry it and write in it during EP1 really stood out to me, and it almost confirms he was tied to the events or information that led to his murder. His last words to Rudo about “changing the world” also feel like they carry a deeper intent.

Gearing up for one hell of a finale for the season with an amazing setpiece, a possibly-falling-apart massive bird everyone is stuck inside of. The question is, what will cause its literal and eventual downfall? Will the barrier destroy it? Will the cleaners cut it down from the inside? Will Rudo go insaneo mode (which I guess is a more specific version of the last question)?
Either way, it'll make for a good setting for the battles to come.

we really had a chill ep compared to the last eps, but we got a lot of info's like amo's tool , zodyl and rudo

tbh the flashback is really telling us that regto died bcs he knew something, and its really not an OK thing it was really important

4 / 5 looks like we are getting an interesting fight between bro and dear Santa vs the old man

I appreciate how this series keeps cutting back and forth between all the characters rather than the usual boss rush formula you see in like bleach when casts seperate to have all their 1 on 1 fights, I usually see those are the pace breaking least favorite parts of a series but this arc keeps up a decent pace.

In response to the people complaining about pacing: watching this anime as a manga reader has been pretty weird. Some exposition feels much more awkward in the anime than it is in the manga for sure. Rudo especially stands around a lot more in the anime, making him seem kind of goofy and dim-witted at times. Perhaps binging the series would be better, since the manga was amazing to read through. All that said, the anime does do plenty of things well.

Anyways, lots of lore drops this episode, which is pretty neat. Guita is also about to do her thing, which I can't wait to see.

This episode just made me want to learn even more about Rudo's adoptive father, as how a spherite was able to learn and acquire such a powerful, vital instrument like the watchman series gloves...could he have been able to travel beyond the border to collect them?

Besides that, absolutely crazy development with this whole arc taking place inside a HUGE FREAKING TRASH BEAST.
Absolutely love the story of this anime so far :D

But thats literally what happened in the manga, Rudo was standing around listening to Zodyl monologue its just more jarring in the anime, and especially for people who thought they were gonna have this big fight

Allow me to start with a little anecdote before my review:
I have a heart condition that has on multiple occasions, sent me to the hospital. It causes my heart rate and blood pressure to rise dangerously high, causing me a great deal of pain and to lose consciousness frequently. One of the triggers for it is when my emotions become a bit too much for me to handle, including if an anime/manga makes me too excited (How did I find this out? An episode of Dr.Stone got me so amped up I passed out in my kitchen)
Well this episode was one of those episodes. I have been LOVING this series since episode one, and this episode made me so emotional it wrecked me (Thankfully not bad enough to have to go back to the hospital this time!). Regto being so kind and gentle with little Rudo. Seeing little Rudo being in such pain he’s physically ill from it. Feeling the heartbreak of Regto watching his newly adopted son practically wasting away in front of him. My heart was literally aching (The maternal instincts these kiddos awake in me is frankly at a dangerous level)!
And it wasn’t just this the whole episode was fantastic. Enjin losing his mind over Fu telling him they’re inside a trash beast; Guita being so excited about the mega trash beast she busted into Zodyl’s very serious moment; Bro Santa hyping Dear so much only for his first punch to have the sound effect of a toddler stamping his foot (and then immediately getting to see Dear power up and bunch through solid rock!); absolutely loved it all!
I’m already counting down until next weeks’ episode!!!

Rudo and the cleaners better than me because I would’ve been helping the raiders and the trash beast destroy the sphere personally. Fuck the spherites and everything their society represents. I am really curious about rugto backstory now and how he came into possession of the gloves.. I wonder if he’s one of the angels or worked with them??

Yeah, Zodyl is probably mentally insane.



Also, I genuinely can't take this anime seriously when I see this kind of dialogue 😭 (I know its the dudes name but still)
