When all of this started, I knew it'd take them this long to come here, but tbh, after this I actually want to know where they'd leave us off in the couple of episodes. All the stuff about border being this and border being that really holds a lot of relevance after this episode. Can't help but feel sad about Noerde.

I mean she knew it as well that would be it for her, but still she went ahead and in a sense, sacrificed for a greater cause for Zodyl.. not that the guy cares. Seriously, I wanted her to somehow make it through.

Anyway, the guys rode a Pokemon and this arc finally ended.

Guita straight up went full kaiju mode and patched that breach with her butt, I’m still laughing 😂. That whole border thing between the Sphere and the ground? No clue what that was, but it looked freaky as hell.

Also, Noerde’s vision getting messed up and her leaving that “shocking” mark before dipping? Wild. And yo, if Guita had been around during the Bundus fight, the Cleaners might’ve actually stood a chance… unless Typhon or Chtoni pulled some BS.

-Who’s taking the W?

-The biggest Trash Beast we’ve ever seen?

-Or one giant, fluffy Kaiju suit?

Splendid audiovisual as expect from Studio Bones' blockbuster production. Things are better when this anime focus on one battle instead of multi battles. This editing team is not skillful enough to handle simultaneous multi battles yet.

Seems like Enjin still has some tricks not reveal yet, I don't think we'll see him fight with 100% of his power in this season, which mean I've to wait until the next season.

But will this anime get a second season? I'm sure it will. It has so much potential, even if this season has not demonstrate those potential to the fullest.

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 It's 11.5 chapters til that moment. There's no way they would rush to it in 2 episodes. My take is that S1 would end on ch 88.

I really can't wait to eventually learn what all of this Watchman Series and Border stuff mean.
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.

They might, but it wouldn't be a rushed. They could just add it at the end of the last episode and do everything else normally. Would be a great season ender and anime adaptations have that freedom

Hats off to Tamara Mutsumi for an amazing job as Noerde. She poured her heart into that role. Best part of this arc. She’ll be missed.

Heartbreaking end for one of the coolest characters in the series smh, Noerde deserved better. I guess the watchman completely erases her mind at the end which is an awful way to go out. Just what is the watchman anyway? It’s such a beautiful and ominous scene. The fact she cherished that comb so much because Zodyl gave it to her 🥹

I’m also desperately waiting for answers on Amo, she better be ok or we riot!

Seeing how big this show has become makes me wonder why Fire Force never got this sort of motion given Gachiakuta is written by an Ohkubo assistant and has a lot of the same vibes lol

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.

Might've been revealed late into the season but Guita's Kaiju onesie instantly skyrocketed into becoming my favorite vital instrument (And that apparently wasn't even her final form!)

And while I can't love the plushie parade float enough, I'm awfully curious what Enjin's desperation card would've been had Guita not saved the day.

You receive that amount of electricity in your body, enduring it almost as if it were nothing... Lol
That last battle, sadly for Noerde, was rather miserable.
Well. The real impact has been finding "that" at the border. Creepy...
And Guita's convenient transformation too. That was cool!

and the best arc comes to and end.
@Ahohite-killer This is the best arc of the series?

---------

Obviously the pajama/costume was the vital instrument, and obviously she was able to transform since she was eager for a "Kaiju battle".
Honestly such a shame that Guita seems as irrelevant as hose and distaff guys.

We saw what existed at the border, and it seems it's a security system that only allows to traverse people with the watchman series, hence why Rudo is alive and well.

Im hoping we see Amo soon, I love that Rudo is still thinking about how/where she is despite it all
I feel very bad for Noerde, she was such an interesting and unique character. Her fate was so uncalled for :[
Overall, a bit bummed out that this arc is now over but I am excited to see where it goes from here ~~(⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)

So that’s what Guita’s vital instrument is, I shoulda saw it coming lol, but honestly her kaiju form was pretty adorable, I love that it still has the quality of her onesie even when she transforms, she really came through here at the end of the arc. As for Noerde, it seems like she had more going on from that short bit of backstory but we probably won’t ever get to know more about her because it looks like she’s dead now, and to that I say good riddance, she was interesting but it’s like Riyo said, she shoulda killed Noerde when she had the chance. Ngl tho the border is quite spooky, I love the way it fucks with reality when you’re in it, that entity was pretty creepy too, I’m interested in finding out what’s up with it.

There was also that bit with Fu, does he have a split personality thing going on? Something similar to that anyway, I’m guessing he managed to get out then, Zodyl is wrong for leaving him behind like that tho, or maybe he knew he could get himself out, no way to know as of rn. And with the gang escaping the massive flying trash beast, they finally arrived back on the ground, no sign of Amo yet unfortunately but at least this whole ordeal is done. And here at the end of the arc, I can say it was a lot of fun, lots of good fights and some interesting new plot developments, it’s left me excited to see where the story goes from here, but we just have two episodes left of this season, I hope they can close it out on a high note.

Big bro Ghris
Rudo randomly bonded harder wuth Ghris than even Enjin. ig its all about that seriousness and caring.

I surely didn't expect tge watchman to be... a living god? when u think about it, makes total sense "watchman" "overseer" "witness", it has so much more depth than when the show started and the plot was just Wally (elitists humans went up there and trow trash into the earth and the slums)

hope they use the final eps to revisit Amo, maybe now that they're "even" she can be recruited to the cleaners, after all shes gonna need backup to protect her series since the raiders will be back for them

Great ep

Imma need them to stop showing me that annoying kid, he's so irritating when he's onscreen.

Damn, Noerde didn't deserve all that. She really got erased instantly.

Was abt to call that black figure in the sky of the border "Kami", but instantly realized that is the "Watchman" or the god of the border.

W Guita. Helped the gang destroy the crystal, which I thought would be much more of a challenge, but it was easy to destroy.

Nice to see that he got Amo's boots back. Hopefully she's alive.

9.5/10

Fucking Peak episode. So good. Noerde was a really cool opponent, and the little we saw of her before her death was kinda bittersweet, and the things she saw after crossing the Border were genuinely terrifying, which she really badly wanted to tell Zodyl about. Sadly, she won't be able to. RIP

Guita was so adorable once again in this episode. She can grow huge, and she was the one who rescued our gang from getting lost in the Trash storm by plugging that hole in the wall. LOL. What a cute big creature. I love her energy so much. And, finally, they were able to stop the Trash Beast from crossing the border. Rudo was able to get back Amo's boots, which was cool to see.

tbh the borderline scene was crazy, it doesn't anything but give u a terrifying feeling and js make it 10x more mystery

seeing how noerde died was crazy, its like she was waved and dying and that was really disturbing, the fight with noerde was a bit boring than what i expected, but man rudo really is so powerful he got noerde crazy, that she decided to suicide

4 / 5 rudo got amo's boats so he needs the robe to complete the series that i forgot what its name but interesting

This episode was good as hell. The way they showed Noerde's emotions and the animation during her final burst were both peak. Furthermore how she just sacrificed herself for someone who doesn't even seem to feel her death is amazing. This opens a door for us to imagine how Zodyl sees his pawns. All the scenes of Guita transforming and using her jinki were amazing too, and last but not least, the end shows how the relationship between Rudo and the other cleaners is developing, which was great as well.
