Before you watch Season Three, it is extremely important that you watch Season Two's Special involving Hai Bo Dong and Medsua Queen to understand everything in this season. While I personally got away without watching the history of Hai Bo Dong and Medusa Queen, I regretted deeply in Season Five and hence why I am writing this review to warn you all.
You learned vaguely there was some bad blood between the Hai Bo Dong and Medusa in Season Two and while this Season doesn't pursue any of it, learning their past will completely change your perspective on Medusa Queen and her actions in this season.
In fact it will even make you appreciate Hai Bo Dong as a character in subsequent season and there are MANY scenes in future seasons that make reference to the Season Two Special.This season also marks a major growth arc for Xiao Yan. But these alone are just the surface of Season Three, want to find out more? Watch it yourself, but you probably already did that because you got hooked from Season Two.
Season Three is packed with action, emotion, and conflict you won't fully appreciate until you get deeper in the story. The music timing in every one of those major scene is masterfully done and will leave a permanent memory in your mind. In fact I am sure you will be searching it up on Youtube over and over again because of how impactful it is. The CGI on character's expressions are also very detailed and often replaces verbal exchanges between characters. I enjoy when the writers don't treat the viewers like idiots and let us interpret the scenes based on expressions.
I originally thought this season was exceptionally average just like the rest, but I think I am gonna bump my rating up after coming back from the future seasons.
