This is a pretty silly episode where Kanta and several familiar faces take on a job involving something supernatural. For once, Kanta manages to put his rather unsavory traits to good use and somehow gets the job done. That said, there are quite a few questionable scenes in this episode that could easily be a dealbreaker for some viewers and might even be enough to make them drop the series at this point.

Boring and too slow. The argument of the episode was good but the execution was not appealing enough. It's depending to much on the ecchi resources.

Episode Context

Desert Punk leans into its irreverent energy with a mission-of-the-week format that pairs demolition work with superstition and escalating chaos. Kanta and Kosuna take on the task of destroying the cursed Inumeiwa Rock, and the episode wastes no time stacking misfortunes against them in ways that are equal parts suspenseful and absurd. The dark comedy hits hard here, expect the show's signature blend of crass humor, ecchi gags, and genuine tension as the duo's competence gets tested by forces they can't punch or outsmart. The pacing is brisk and the dynamic between master and apprentice carries much of the entertainment value. Thematically, the episode plays with superstition versus stubbornness, asking whether the desert's dangers are always rational. A solid standalone entry that delivers exactly what the series does best.
