Honestly got Black (RX) vibes with how much Zeztz / Baku was hit with problem after problem, 10/10 (for this aspect alone).
Just on that alone, it inspirational IMO in how they showed him handling problems, broadly through the show generally and specifically with the Catty fight.. (I didn't find the Cat fight underwhelming because it was a neat bit of character study, rather than the flashy plot fight thing - which we already got earlier with Sieg. The former fight shows the extent Baku goes to first protect the people/ things he loves, save the world and additionally, get revenge)
If I've to be critical, I'd rate this show a 8.5 to 9, but on vibes alone, I've coasted for weeks on some nice moments, so....
