Every next guy in this series looks like a bad guy just because of how unruly they look, if you ask me. But let’s just say, for a change of scenery and to not repeat the stuff which transpired a couple of episodes back, we finally saw Rudo DOING something. I mean, he’s the main character, acting like a dead weight every time would’ve really lacked taste. Just feel bad for the Gris guy who had to go through shit, TWICE, for Rudo to realize his main character powers lol.

As has been the history, whenever main characters go through power-up for the first time, they become.. invincible, and yeah, the only reasoning justifying that is, they’re the main character. I feel for the Jobber guy.. I mean, Jabber, had to be the first test subject for those never-seen-before powers lol. Fight looked a bit better as well, I think anything which won't involve that trash beast would look decent enough by default. Anyway, bad guy is out cold and somehow still racking up orgasms like it’s a loyalty program.. fifth one loading, stay tuned xD

NOO NOT GRIS?!!! Please don’t let him actually die right as Rudo finally started settling in with the cleaners 😢 Almost non-stop action from start to finish in this one and we finally know the truth about Rudo’s ability! That cliffhanger got me nervous though, how’s he gonna deal with this universe equivalent of ultra instinct lmao?

So Rudo being able to pull out the full potential of anything really makes sense given his personality. He hates seeing people waste things or throw out old things as trash if they haven’t fulfilled their potential. He’s a very kind and empathetic person and that shines through in his ability and fighting style. He’s going to have to develop a bit more edge if he wants to survive down there though.

Animation quality went hard and you can see a lot of that fire force influence coming thru in some of Rudo’s facial expressions today. Can’t wait for part 2 next week.

An awakened power used defensively, pretty unusual and creative. It is very effective to the point that Jabber jabs himself to overcome it.

heh Jab jabs

Rudo finally stepping it up after Jabber took out Gris (🥀) and the way he used Gris' talisman was cool. I liked how the "bringing out an object's full potential" angle led to it being used for defensive purposes rather than offense like one would normally expect. Still, that didn't stop this psycho from thinking up a crazy way to overcome the infinite dodge glitch. Good episode this week.
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.

Man, this enemy has a few screws loose, but that seems to go for a lot of them, doesn't it? He used his own toxins on himself to create a mindless monster, but they left us with a cliffhanger on that. Damn.

Damn, Rudo's power is so cool. So to use an object his vital instrument he got to understand the true value of it and use it to the max as he wish..
Thank God, Gris isn't dead.
Jabber was annoying. Rudo entertained him enough as he wished with all those sick punches but still he's looking for more. He came up with a crazy idea to inject himself with a neurotoxin to go berserk.

Zanka is still alive (just out from poison) and even Gris is hanging in there for the time being.

Really hope the shithead with the claws gets some more beating.

So Gris pretty much served as a catalyst just like Krillin did for Goku to unlock SSJ mode.

Meh, at least this episode was short (yes I did skip the worthless flashback with the plot device named Regto). Another meh, Zanka's fight was a lot more interesting. This fight had tons of blah blah blah my power does blah blah blah.

Great episode, that's some biblically accurate angel looking shit right there.

But I wonder how Rudo is going to turn the fight around again, assuming that he now is at a disadvantage.

Nooo not Gris! Goddamit, it's always the sweetest guy around getting hurt the worst...

The way Rudo used his powers on the amulet was so creative! He considered the meaning that object had to Gris when he was giving it power. The flashback shows really well why Rudo is perfect person for this type of power - it's not just OP power that turns objects into weapons, it's filled with Rudo's anger and sadness at seeing things thrown away. And now we see that he also feels those emotions when he sees people tossed aside as "worthless". He even uses Gris's favourite offensive weapon xD

Jabber is one of those antagonists that are tough to hate, huh? He's a chaotic creature that's way too fun to watch xD It's interesting that he's not just crazy but also mad observant, he figured out the amulets weaknesses really fast through trial and error. Also before he attacked Gris, he briefly focused on Follo but backed off and noted that he has potential? Didn't Gris mention last episode that Follo is working on becoming a Giver? How the hell did Jabber sense that though, that's scary xD

Rudo is basically the biggest hypeman for inanimate objects ever and I can't get over how cool and oddly inspiring that is as a power.

Whether Jabber's attacks count as hostility or not lowkey reminds me of the "is a hot dog a sandwich" debate

JIB JOB JABBA

Immediately cutting to Gris getting stabbed was perfect and brutal!

We see Rudo do the main pose, establishing Jabber, a little more on Rudo's backstory, the awoken talisman, overall a very solid episode. Always nice to see any character finally lock in 🤘🏿

Free my mans Zanka though, he got offscreened 😭

I have to bounce between dub and sub to hear everything that gets said: "Promise you're not gonna crash out on me aight"

have i mentioned how hard the op goes before?

seeing rudo struggle with feelings of worthlessness, not having anywhere to direct his anger as a child after being discarded by the world hits a little too close to home

I love Gris, I hope he doesn't actually die, but he's been bleeding out for so long...

Also, Rudo's power is so cool! The jinki he used in this episode is goated and has such a cool design! The backstory we got was pretty sad as well.

Very good episode. Got some solid action and more backstory for our MC to help justify him constantly being angry all the time. Feeling better about not dropping the show after the first 2 episodes. Hopefully we keep this upward trajectory going throughout the rest of the season.

Although I will add that the "He's dead! Oh wait, he's actually not dead (and likely to survive)" trope being used here is both cliche and somewhat annoying. Hopefully this doesn't become a recurring thing like some series do. Either kill your characters or don't kill them. Pretending to do it for shock value gets old fast.

Such a unique and gritty anime, the story is dynamic and knows what it is trying to achieve. I have a feeling Rudo's character arc is going to be insane and the commentary on our single use lifestyle is really interesting. I'm excited to see more of this show!

Rudo's transformation of that Hamsa into a protective vital instrument was beautiful, now that's a great ability.

BTW the trash talking is equally good in the dub, the villain's voice actor is great.

That was a pretty good fight, we finally learned what Rudo's skill actually is and he did great against the crazy guy.
Thought it will be interesting when it continues next times, turns out even lunatics can have intelligence.

damn jabber looks mentally unstable and so fuckin strong when he stab himself

but from the start regto really is a main character in the story of rudo like until now everything he do he remembers regto and like we see regto really is discovered things even rudo didn't know abt himself like really a great character but I'll choose to stop using this method at everything happens bcs then it'll become cheap and bad so its better not to do a lot of this

and now to jabber this man is looking strong tfom the start he even did poison zanka and came fast to rudo and killed someone too, but with the flashback of rudo, he knows now he's giver power only works with garbage that works well and appreciated it ? idk tbh that's what I understood but he was really working good with it vs jabber but I think the next ep will be rudo taking hits and a lot of them fs

Jabber is a bit of a wacky fella ain’t he, but also a very deadly one, it seemed like he took out Gris so quickly but thankfully he’s still kicking, and now Rudo has an epic new power thanks to that talisman, or I guess the power is the same but the talisman has a cool power lol. And after that flashback bit and Gris’ explanation, we got a bit more detail on what Rudo’s power actually is, I think it’s pretty interesting that he’s actually drawing out the worth and not so much turning objects into weapons, it makes using Gris’ talisman feel a lot more badass.

And boy was the beatdown of Jabber fun, loved seeing Rudo knock the piss out of him, a lot of satisfying blows. Unfortunately tho, Jabber seems to have discovered a loophole in Rudo’s power, so next time we will see the battle take a different turn, I just hope Rudo isn’t about to get a beatdown of his own lol.

Amazing ep

So this is the guy with the dreadlocks, Jabber.

Not my boy Gris :(

Rudo's past is truly troubled. He doesn't deserve that. So his real power is bringing the true value of basically anything when he puts his mind to it.

Gris's vital instrument is pretty cool with Rudo, but it has its flaws.

Great beginning of this fight, animation is on point as usual.

Jabber really a crackhead lmao, now he's basically fighting unconscious.

Had to peep the dub for Jabber and damn, not only is it good, but that is a 🥷 😂

10/10

This crybaby is a slacker foul who talk too much, an entire chapter wasting time and he still hasn't killed that jerk...

Btw a neurotoxine poison supposedly kills you, hitting himself it's an stupid nonsense powerup...

I think I had too many expectations for this anime, somehow reminds me to Black Clover, but with more garbage...
