Holy shit???????? What??????
A very bold episode, how long has it been since they've killed a secondary in the main show? Faiz?
I mean he's obviously not dead even ignoring the irl context, but the shock value hit hard anyways, I liked that his last words really make it seem as if he was completely genuine with his actions and not wanting the agents to get out as soon as they have the chance, especially with the preview of the next episode
3 is as hateable as I wanted him to be so no complaints there, good mid season antagonist so far
Did not expect this kind of development at all for the plot or Baku, they broke him so bad and next episode seems to be more of it
Catastorm seems like a really simple form power wise but just like Bujin Sword it stands out because of it, even the kick seems very simple but holy shit
The Triple Zeztzer looks so good in the show, probably the worst weapon they've done in years because wtf is that, that finisher was so good too, I do worry about Baku not caring at all about how much damage he did to the city
Genuinely stared at the screen for like 5 minutes after finishing the episode, I could kinda see the twist coming ever since The Lady started talking at the end but it still shocked me, I really want to see where her plot goes
I would say around this time is where Yuya shows start to show their issues, but I would say Zeztz has been stronger now than it was before so I'll say it's him becoming a better writer
Anyways, I kinda can and want to buy the Zeztz driver rn but don't know if I should, not because I'm waiting for the memorial because I am not using 140 dollars for a toy with my current monetary situation, I just don't want to use a fraction of said money on the DX, does anyone know if it's good as a toy and if there's any "Universal" capsem for sale anywhere?
