| I genuinely liked Fenrir, Thor, Mime and Hagen, but Alberich well having a cool backstory was lazily written and dragged out and Syd has been unbearably boring. All I could really extract from him was that he was fighting for Asgard's glory and he cared about his land. Apart from that he didn't offer much at all, if you would even count that. At least Shun kind of beat Syd, of course with the help of Shaina and the excusably moral support from Ikki. Even the way he won wasn't something to write home about. That may have to do with my subs though, it seems he redirected the cold air that was going as far to invalidate his chain into his Nebula Storm and took him out that way. It's cool in concept but I'll forget about that by tomorrow. Syd/Bado reminds me of Saga, just as two different people rather than two personalities in the same body. If we learn about him then maybe it will make Syd a little less boring. I do think the concept of having your 'shadow' follow you and protect you yet be unknown to even you is interesting. It seems Bado gave Syd the illusion that he was the one who beat Aldeberan and moreover, it means that the Gold Saints aren't that much weaker than God Warriors. The saints have exclaimed that they are the strongest opponents they've faced, Ikki comparing Mime to Saga, but it makes the fact that Aldeberan fell in one blow more tolerable and puts the power levels of these guys into perspective. They're close to the Gold Saints, some are most likely a little stronger as some may be weaker. And Ikki saves the day. I couldn't help but burst out laughing. |
| As much as I'm a huge fan of this filler arc as a whole, this is the only one I always felt disappointed by and never fully liked. For my liking, Syd was just too easily (and quickly) beaten by Shun despite being sold as one of the most formidable and fearsome God Warriors of the seven, along Siegfried. It just didn't feel right. |
| ugh there's soo much stuff wrong with this episode 1/5. |
