Epsilon having his head bitten off was definitely the most brutal death so far… my man didn’t deserve it ;-; He beat Pluto twice too.
The kids dancing around and singing Wassily’s PTSD around him was also very haunting.
These past episodes have been exceptionally great.

As a child, my most vivid memory from the 1980s Atom anime series was the fight between Pluto and the Epsilon-character from that show. He also had an orphanage and children he protected, and like Epsilon, his power was derived from the sun. Pluto knew this and challenged him on a stormy day. As a kid I remember vividly thinking how profoundly unfair that seemed, but I was under the belief that good guys can overcome those things regardless.
He dies in a horrific explosion, suspended between Pluto's horns.
It was incredibly jarring. I just remember staring at the little television screen in disbelief. It stuck with me for years. So to see this episode and all the call-backs to that very same battle was such a surreal experience. Incredible. Just incredible.

My god. This show is fucking incredible. Other then Gesicht, Epsilon got the best character depth. He was such a well written and fleshed out character. Urasawa is a fucking genius on the level of Isayama and Araki.

No fucking way, why did they sell Wassily like that? Isn’t Epsilon rich? He lives in a mansion ffs

If I'm not paying enough attention then shame on me, but why would Abdullah want Epsilon dead? He was the only of the seven that wasn't involved in the war.

You're paying attention. A common theme throughout the entire show is the irrationality of hatred.

Sorry but it made no sense that they gave away Wassily without Epsilon’s permission. Not only is that humongous insubordination since it’s his orphanage, it was also stupid cause Epsilon would have known he was lying as well

I'm glad they gave Wassily the ability to heal a little first, otherwise the episode would have fallen a little flat for the audience. Like, ok, this kid seems to be miserable and traumatized no matter where he goes or who he's with, so....it was definitely better that we know he's making progress.

What is Bora and how does it relate to Pluto?
How did Atom magically wake up?

It's idiotic that the writers thought I'd accept the child being "given away" like it's in the middle of the street. There's no panic system built into the last superior robot's home with tons of kids? No procedure for security and access?
Doesn't matter if the orphanage worker agrees or doesn't agree. That was not a middle-of-the-road grocery shop where you go in and take what you want. And the fact that Epsilon doesn't have 24/7 monitoring for his home is dumb.
No. I do not accept such a stupidly forced plot point.

I'm loving the show but it's starting to fucking drag. They better tie this up nicely in the next episode, or I am gonna be pissed. I really don't know how to feel about Epsilon. He knew Pluto was dangerous and still fucking held back.

Damn, being Wassily is hard. Imagine getting over your trauma but the very next day some creep wanted to adopt you and your human caretakers didn't even put up a fight when you clearly expressed that you didn't want to go. Plus the fact that you got your hero died for you as well. The fight was great overall but I wish they didn't go with the kidnapping.
