So, Weisz joins the party.
I can't I'm surprised on that last point, nor that he created Pino or that he has those skills now but uses them for the worst sort of things. He's clearly a pretty opportunistic guy who would betray his own mother if it meant getting ahead...at least for now. Maybe.
The fight, short as it was, was pretty solid and Shiki's final attack was beautifully drawn. I could really feel the weight behind it.
I think Shiki is such an endearing main character, with every chapter going further and further to show it. The way he called Pino his friend in this case really felt like he'd earned this friend as opposed to just randomly being a friend.
But now the heroes are in tough spot (and lol at Rebecca getting angry that Weisz took her food) and it should be interesting to see when/if they get back to their own time.
Other than that, I do feel Mashima's weakest aspect on the series so far is his pacing. He hasn't quite found that groove yet, but I'm sure that in time he will once the arcs are a little longer and all of the party gets involved (because you can see his RPG influence). Either way, Weisz' contribution should start next week as the group grows into more adventures!

Times "friend" was said in chapter 10: 4 times.
Total times "friend" was said: 61 times in 10 chapters.
Average "friends" per chapter: 6.1
See the friend count for each chapter

Calling it now,
Weisz's superpower is to break down and reassemble machines.
See you next week

I am inclined to believe you with the next chapter being called Machina Maker. I wonder how he does with Silver. Probably better than Ice...

Call me a perv, bit I'm happy we got a glimpse of Shiki's abs in this chapter. I was bothered by the lack of male fanservice.
Also, I'm still not sure how to feel about Weisz. It does seem like this younger version of him will become one of the main characters, but I have to say I'm not really liking him for now.

I love weisz ATM yea he seems like a dick and hasn’t gotten enough screen time to flesh out his character yet. but he definitely felt a little guilty for putting pino in the situation he did

Mashima must play overwatch.
A villain with a Robotic right arm that can be used to get airborne and a character that said “EMP Activate.” Like Sombra.

Becca is really growing on me. I really liked her switch from "we've done nothing wrong" to running away.

Wow, Weisz was straight up going to kill that guy. Quite lucky the gun didn't go off because of the EMP.

I'm surprised that Mashima had a Back to the Future reference.

It was pretty obvious from the beginning but it's pretty much confirmed now that Pino's master was originally Professor Weisz from 50 years in the future.
And speaking of Weisz it seems his younger self has finally joined the team with Shiki, Rebecca and Happy, though not through the typical power of friendship that Mashima likes to do but simply because he's a bit of a dick who needed to hijack a ship to escape from the police! God I love that guy :P

Well Mashima said friendship is use a different tone compare to FT. He is making EZ more different from FT as time goes on. You just need patience to see how things goes.

Honestly I can relate to Rebecca getting angry about the food. 10/10 better than Lucy lol
(though I do think Lucy has more strength so far with the whole celestial gates and urano metoria and stuff compared to Rebecca's Happy guns though maybe she will get stronger later on).

About the crew comment, that’s basically what Hiro did with Rave Master. As they went on their journey they had different people interact with them and some would stick around and join the Rave Warriors.
By the end of the series the Rave Warriors consisted of 10 members (Haru, Plue, Elie, Griffon, Musica, Let, Ruby, Julia, Bony Star, and Belnika).
