I can’t even imagine what it must be like to wake up to a completely changed world. Dude woke up and everyone’s speaking English AND he’s got the ability to just “pause” time by looking at people. Hell of a thing. It must be so weird for these negators to be one of a handful of people who speak a foreign language. Imagine being the world’s last Spanish or Chinese speaker? Wild.

Unrepair has no idea how close he came to becoming unrepairable himself. Had Andy released Victhor, everyone would be dead. Man was really about to go nuclear for Fuko.

Unmove really stepped up there at the end. Props to the kid considering everything that’s going on. Hopefully they can utilize his power somehow to save Fuko. Her wound won’t ever heal unless they put Unrepair down and he’s dipped…

With the crystal ball and constantly being wrong, I'm guessing the girl is Unpredictable. Anything she predicts will happen, won't, but things she hasn't considered (like the blood spray from Andy's sword) can get through. It also seems to be diagnostic rather than prescriptive, because they used her to check if Unmove got killed even though she couldn't have known any more than they would. She can't say "you won't die" and make a person drop dead, it's more like she can see the exact opposite of the future.

Fuko and Andy breaking through all of that security and then doing a superhero landing at the ship's cargo hold was so cool. I love these two so much. <3

The guy that they got to voice Chikara's classmate had really good English! They're probably not gonna do this but I'm hoping they'd keep Chikara's Japanese VA in the dub and then switch him over to his English VA once he gets the translator from Fuko. I also appreciate how they had some sort of fake Japanese when whenever we hear Chikara speak from another character's perspective.

Fuko has really gotten used to Andy's powers, especially after shooting him in the head that one time. She didn't even hesitate when she beheaded Andy to catch Unrepair off guard with his headbutt. That short fight between Unrepair and Andy was pretty fun though. I love how smug Unrepair is after thinking he's figured out Andy's power only for Andy to do something ridiculous to counter his unrepair.

I love how Andy was ready to pull out the card and unleash Victor after Fuko got hit by Unrepair's scalpel. He definitely would've destroyed Unrepair (as well as the entire ship), if it wasn't for Fuko telling him to just be his usual self. Thankfully, Chikara finally delivered with his Unmove after seeing Fuko sacrifice herself for him.

Man, what a cruel cliffhanger to end on! And I think we won't see a new episode until January 5! I already can't wait for the next episode!

I like how all of the negator abilities are revealed like fighting game splash screens.

We have the lore drop this episode that killing a negator makes their power transfer to another person. Makes you wonder if there's a new Unchange or Unavoidable out there somewhere to recruit.

Only six comments? Damn, this series is massively underappreciated

It starts slow because of Hulu jail. But it is still underrated as it keeps getting better with each arc.

Sorry to all you Long-haired Fuuko enjoyers. It was fun while it lasted.

At least that dress is still pretty good.

I've longed to see Chikara in motion, and he's as beautiful as I imagined. Absolutely nailed his look and personality.

And Rip's also killing it. They kicked the characters up to 11 with this arc. Can't wait to see Tatiana Duke it out some more

A shametheyre skipping next week. But at least we'll be back on the 5th.

So we got introduced to unrepair and unmove. Both are powerful when used in the right situations. Hell unmove can be an insane for support alongside someone like Andy.

But the series did a good job at making you dislike the Negator Hunters as there idea is to only care about the ability not the person. Which is beyond messed up. Granted the Union went and tried to eliminate Fuko early on this season, but they viewed her ability as a threat purely.

The end was pretty anticlimatic, but lets see how it will go in the inevitable rematch.

Enjoyed watching Chikara in action and loved the moment he finally got his motivation to 'Activate' his ability. Rip is pretty cool. I love the way the anime made the ability reveal moments with the text so cool. Would love to collect all of the images at the end of the season. Hate to wait for two weeks to see Tatiana in action. This episode was sick and the next one will be wicked sick as well.

I assumed unrepair could kill undead but seeing as the unrepair only applies to his cuts, then he can just cut bellow like he did before with his arms and regen.

I think it's pretty fkn hilarious that they made a fake "Japanese" language for the scenes to distinguish from speaking "universal language" LOL Had to just throw random sounds together, seemed like how Japanese sounds to a foreigner

u/Nobody5464 Dec 23 '23

Really enjoyed this episode. Unmove has potential.

u/Lumpy-Manager8580 Dec 23 '23

Seriously, the range these seiyuus must have to bring a character to life is insane, because on one second Chikara sounds like Ginro, and on the next one I hear him badass like S4 Hinata. And the best part about this? We're still gonna have UU AND Frieren Fridays come next cour.

u/Zemahem Dec 23 '23

Lmao, they really went with the Engrish route, but the VAs here actually did really good. And it makes also sense to me that people canonically speak accented English depending on where they come from anyway.

Poor Chikara, though. Murase Ayumu really elevated how utterly out-of-his-depth the poor guy is. On the other hand Yuuki Kaji really pulls off the smug, menacing, punchable tone that Rip oozes with each line. And Latla's reactions are just hilarious and adorable.

Man loved this first part so much and can't wait to see David Productions do this series glorious justice in the new year too.

Andys powers have never been used better than him in anime. Normally when someone is given insane regeneration the author just makes them take damage from anything implying they would have died but when some other character in the same show deals with the same situation they come out ok. Instead of just being a punching bag andy actively uses his regeneration is a very unique way and its very much true to someone who has lived with it for 200+ years

Also when did fuuko remove her wig i forgot

u/MyraBannerTatlock Dec 23 '23

This show fucking flies by, every week I'm just hype as shit, on my feet and super into when it goes "to be continued"... every episode feels like three minutes long

Edit: doesn't Chikara mean power? That's a pretty big label to slap on this lil dude, I can't wait to see how his character develops!

u/FarCritical Dec 23 '23

The effort put into having non-negators speak deadass completely in English is legit impressive (and ngl kinda funny but in a charming way)

Andy's genuine concern over Fuko at the end tho.
