Tank Chair

That parasite reveal had me squinting at my screen. A brain mollusk that eats migraines and gives you killing intent powers is the dumbest cool thing this show has done yet

I couldn't stop smiling when that kill intent blast went off and Touko got folded in one hit. Everyone hyped her up all week and then she just ate concrete. The pacing did feel stretched though with all the shouting

The Mentor with his parrots at sunset gave me chills. All that carnage and then this calm figure listening to the report like it's a weather update. That glow in his eyes says he's been waiting years for Nagi to come back

The fight in the alley was fun until you realize Uzu is basically unkillable now. Where does Nagi fit into a world where the villains regenerate. Slightly worried the chair gets sidelined

I came for wheelchair assassin nonsense and got a lecture about creating perfect vessels and the ethics of forced mechanical enhancement. Not complaining. Sensei calling her own students imperfect and a hindrance while they sit there in pain is deeply messed up

That final shot of Nagi in the bed with the fires reflected in his eyes broke something in me. He has no idea these people are coming for him and he cannot even move. Shizuka better be nearby

The pink blood debate stopped bugging me because the alley brawl used it well. Splashing neon everywhere while Uzu laughs on top of the guys he just wrecked. It reads as a stylistic choice now instead of censorship

Watched the dub on a whim and turned it off after two minutes. Whoever cast that needs to answer for it. Stuck with subs after that and the episode was actually great

Alright the missile jump did nothing for me. It's the kind of escalation that makes everything before it feel small. If Uzu can level a block by being bored then the wheelchair assassin premise is basically irrelevant

Nagi lying there hooked to the IV while the city burns behind his reflection felt like a gut punch of an ending. The whole episode is loud and then it just gets quiet on him

Hearing that voice come out of Sensei was a whole thing. Megumi Ogata plays polite and terrifying so well. Also why is Uzu's file locked even for A ranks? There's a theory forming and I don't like where it's going

That crater clash looked so heavy. Polygon is doing things with CGI that I didn't think could feel this brutal. The weight of every hit lands properly

Naozumi and Touko living in constant pain from their own enhancements makes them hard to root against now. The academy made them like this and now they get to be hunted too

The instant Sensei said she hates imperfect things my skin went cold. That calm voice talking about graduating as a death sentence is scarier than any screaming villain this show could throw at us

I can't take Uzu seriously. Everyone's calling him Deadpool but the constant giggling during that alley fight got old fast. Give me Naozumi's miserable little face over this any day

That man surfed in on an actual missile and I just sat there with my mouth open. Villain of the season already and he hasn't even fought Nagi yet

the rooftop shot of Uzu watching the city burn was striking. but the big takeaway for me is that Sensei blames Shizuka for everything wrong with Nagi and calls her imperfect. That woman is going to be the real fight

Sensei and Uzu sharing that hair color and Uzu's file being locked to one person is suspicious. I think they are connected and the academy is making something worse than what it already has

Uzu laughing through a whole alley full of guys while bleeding out got old fast for me. He is too much too soon and it undercuts the tension the fights are supposed to have

The whole assassin of the week loop was wearing thin for me so I am glad they finally pulled the camera back on the academy itself. Sensei running the show gives the story an actual spine now
