EPISODE CONTEXT

Following Episode 2's setup where PROTOSTAR, LEGIT, and JAXX/JAXX each chose their performance motifs for the Release Battle, Episode 3 narrows its lens to explore LEGIT's internal fractures—establishing that the road to competition is as much about surviving each other as it is about performing. Positioned early in a 12-episode season, this installment builds essential character groundwork for LEGIT that will pay off as the Release Battle arc intensifies, while subsequent episodes are expected to rotate focus toward the other groups' own preparation struggles.
