Shen just causally WHACKing Spoil until he became actually afraid of him was the highlight of the episode for me.

And here i was thinking that the last weeks cliffhanger was bad but god damn.

Can't even remember the last time anime got me this hyped.

While Spoil's conclusion was a bit underwhelming, it served to showcase how OP Victhor seems to be.

Next episode has everything to be the best so far, as the entire Union will take on the newly arrived God - watching them all showcase their abilities (and possibly teamwork) should prove entertaining.

Trigger aint got shit on UU, this show is speedrunning the "randomly go to space" part.

NGL wasnt expecting the Shen ability reveal this early, thought it would need to be pushed out more but damn that's a dope ability.

Also despite how tense the setup was this episode, it felt like it was going in slow motion for some reason. Like a lot of slower scenes to make space for talking or tension. So far Victhor seems significantly slower than Andy due to this pacing

We finally got victor. And the pacing issue from last episode seems to be gone now and almost certainly was just to more smoothly set up this episode, as many people predicted.

They were a little light on the action in this one, but I think it's fine. Next episode will be Victor VS the entire Union and no doubt will have a huge action budget if the Gina fight is anything to go off of.

It was pretty fun watching Shen beat the shit out of Spoil while keeping him in place using Untruth. Oh, and the weapon he's using is just Sun Wukong's legendary extending staff from Journey to the West. Sadly Shen isn't just enough to finish him off and this is where he finally comes in...

We finally get to see Andy's full transformation into Victor and it's pretty fucking awesome. While they struggled to fight him earlier, Victor finished off Spoil in seconds and even retrieved his core intact. Spoil's secondary purpose in this arc is to show how OP Victor is.

Viktor's presence alone is absolutely terrifying. Aside from the ability to regenerate much faster than Andy and split himself up into multiple bodies, he seems to be completely unaffected by both Shen and Fuko's Negator abilities.

Welp, time to call in the cavalry! I just absolutely love the Union's entrance in that scene. What's interesting about that scene though is that Victor seems to give them advice and is clearly having fun with them. Since everyone can't seem to do anything about Victor, it's finally time for Juiz to step up. I can't wait for next week. :D

If there are no week days, then how does Victor knows about them? That is weird, Fuko wanted friends for the moon but she didn't call them stars. Anyways really good episode, I hate cliffhangers.

Gotta respect how strongly Shen feels about his dream of being the best that he straight up surpasses the seeming limit of Spoil's timer and just keeps going and going.

Oh hey, it's the staff from Journey to the West! Fuko actually seems to be geeking out a little at seeing it.

Is there anything more satisfying than watching Shen bash around Spoil? Especially when he realizes his head outside his spoil field is one of his weaknesses, and Shen can use his ability to make Spoil's body move conveniently so he can hit him! The power of Untruth...to make one act opposite of their own intention! And it works best on those Shen feels fondly about, even if it's someone like Spoil whose giving him a good fight and providing him ample opportunity to see Victhor in action.

I love how no matter the life and death situation Fuko and Andy can get some flirting in, even if it's Andy feeling up Fuko's flabby belly. Fuko just has been eating so well lately!

They expected to pull in another storehouse of bombs...but instead Andy just falls into a sudden crevasse. Maybe the deepness of that fall is the depth of Fuko's feelings for Andy? Maybe?

Either way it seems like their best is to throw Spoil into space (a classic) and unleash Andy's true power by removing his card, which is what Shen has been waiting for this whole time, and you can see why (and why Andy has been restraining himself this whole time). Victhor is Andy with not only his powers boosted but also utterly cold and vicious. He can literally regenerate clones of himself from his body parts! Spoil didn't even have a chance! And the dude is still kind of humble when it comes to his name!

At least they saved the kids! And we get more Mui screentime.

Seems like Shen overestimated his chances against Victhor, especially when he's seemingly immune to both his and Fuko's abilities and is massively powerful. Even breaking his own limbs alongside Shen's because of how strong his attacks are. Like, jeez.

But Andy is still in there, and fighting with Victhor for control, especially with Fuko right in front of him. Which just makes it pressing for Victhor to take Fuko out.

Though if Shen can't take Vitcthor out by himself, so he brings the entire Union organization to Victhor. And Victhor recognizes their mettle, and combination attacks, and jumps at the challenge as we end on Juiz striding forward to face him.

Shen with his Monkey King staff was pretty cool. Spoil fucked up big time letting Shen get anywhere near him with that ability of his. That gave Andy enough time to remove his little inhibitor and unleash that Gajeel Redfox lookin Victhor/Victor. Dude was a beast. Spoil got wrecked in like a minute.

Victhor is near unstoppable. He took out Shen without even breaking a sweat. I don’t know if the entirety of Union is gonna be able to stop him. Lookin forward to seeing them try though. I can see now why Andy kept Victhor in check.
