| This episode connected a lot of things, pretty interesting. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
Magicmist said: If Big Johnny was found at a crashed alien ship, I have to wonder if it was the same ship material Loli's suit was made out of. Either way, quite a find by Sheng. It's interesting to see another X with Vortex. Since we already know Ghostblade is the true killer of Little Johnny's dad. It's quite misfortunate of him that he's the current target of Big Johnny's kaiju wrath. Also, it seems like not even superpowers can be the panacea for all of life's ills. It's tragic that Sheng couldn't save his wife by going the hero route. Ooooooh great observation!!! |
pixelante said: To be frank some of these episodes would benefit from being a 45 minute to an hour special because how are we supposed to comment on them when we only have half the information on hand? So Little Johnnies father got murdered and we've two suspects on the scene, Vortex and Ghostblade. Everyone probably assumes Ghostblade is the culprit because he is an assassin without much of a concious, at least in the old days. But then Vortex seems like a real cold customer so maybe it was actually him? we saw it a few episodes ago in Ghost Blade's arc that he was the one contracted to kill him |
Rexnihilo said: Interesting so even if you have many people who believe in you it's pointless if you don't believe in yourself. That makes me think of Yang Cheng or the current e-soul. He might now be the legendary Hero E-soul but still I don't think he believes in himself so I don't think he can become a true hero right now. We also see Vortex another former X or well a current x in Johnnies backstory. Looks like though he's taking the blame for killing Johnnies Dad right now. Sheng or Johnnies dad was also a former X and seems to have healing powers. Ghostblade is still there as well. Also we got confirmed Big Johnny is an alien. It's also why I believe that the current X isn't known by anyone because his power comes from believing in himself alone. now, Idk if he will be the final villan, because his belief in himself will be from a narcissistic standpoint, or if he will be the one with the final arc, making all the other heroes even mire powerful by teaching them the power to believe in yourself, in order to fight fear itself. But I definitely think the number on his wrist is simply 1: himself lol |
| Sheng's design seems like it was slightly inspired by Minato Namikaze/adult Naruto |
| I chased fame, fortune and CANDY during MALoween 23 Main :        Bonus:  |
| I'm kind of curious as to how Sheng and Vortex got their powers. Like, what action would make enough people trust you to... Swirl stuff around??? There was also a pretty important info drop this episode regarding trust. Apparently, trust can't give you any powers if you don't believe in yourself. Yang Cheng getting called out again lol |
| Interesting to see that it was the ghost blade, let's see where this will take the story |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
| how is this so GOOD |
| 🌈 i just want gintama back |
| Damn so that guy Ghostblade killed was Sheng, Little Johnny's father. Also that thing from before was Big Johnny. Again love how every story is connected to one another and we can connect the dots as we see more stories. I really want an alien pet like big johnny. Where do I find one. |
 |
| Solid track of episodes |
 |
| Damn ghostblade killed an innocent dude |
| Ok, the show took a while to build up but I think the writing is actually good now. The story structure of hopping between characters and timeframes is really paying off. Each arc is genuinely getting better. The first arc nearly made me give up the whole thing, but I'm glad I gave the show another shot. Little Johnny's dad was so sweet. The inevitability of his death at the hands of a character we already know is really impactful. And the reveal that the kaiju was Big Johnny is the cherry on top. Love that things are all coming together. Love the building of intrigue and conspiracy. Fingers crossed that the trajectory of the writing quality continues. |
| ^ I'm the opposite, actually have come to like it less since the first 2 arcs. If not for the interwoven plot points between arcs, it would basically be episodic in nature and would have had a much more difficult time keeping my attention. For me it all comes down to how majorly interconnected each story is; if every arc is a piece of a puzzle to one large overarching narrative, big W. However if the purpose is nothing more than just to say: "hey remember that thing that happened in the last arc, well it's happening here now too! wow!", then big L. The last episode's supposed to be an absolute banger. Idk if it's just an individually impressive episode, or if it's one that does that AND ties everything together finally. Really hoping it's the latter. |
