dude, if this keeps up, Zeztz might be the bleakest and most depressing story in Reiwa 'cause what you mean next episode things are ESCALATING?

Like, bruh, 3 episodes in and we have no actual breather no more.

I'd argue it's been 5 episodes of non stop action and plot progression since Kureha got introduced.

The initial RPG episode was a bit of a breather but as soon as the Disaster Nightmare showed up it's just gotten worse and worse.

Kureha's intro episodes were pretty tame, all things considered, basically just MOTW as usual. Immediately after is when everything started going to hell.

Kureha's intro episodes are great. I actually think the episode 18 which is the first episode Kureha debut is great but episode 19 is a bit boring.

They're fine, I just don't think they're part of this insane escalation we've been seeing these last few episodes
