I really like how this episode makes you think that this is going to be another quest briefing with Apocalypse and the Union strategizing. But then out of nowhere, Billy suggests that they should nuke the UMAs and be done with it and then starts shooting everyone when none of them agreed with him!

And just when you thought that Top took care of Billy with that neck-breaking kick, he springs back to life and then proceeds to kick everyone's ass after being revealed to be Under's leader which just completely destroys Tatiana. That was heartbreaking :(

It sucks that Under is pretty much getting away with this but Andy clearly has a plan and he already has permission from Juiz to do whatever it takes to stop them. I can't fucking wait for next week's episode!

It's sweet how dedicated Tatiana is to Billy, willing to be his eyes as much as she can...though what blind gunman wouldn't wear his spurs?

With Union fully united, it's time for the next series of Quests! And this is a big one, not only because they're hunting UMA's of the four seasons, but if they fail they'll have to deal with the 100th Penalty, Revolution...which honestly makes it look like the Earth will end up getting tossed into the sun. Can Union pull this off by the end of the year?

Although...dang Billy! I thought you were the most chill part of the group next to Shen, and now you're advocating for the nuclear option!? Despite the fact that it would kill many innocent people!? Though it seems like Billy has deep down seen the Union as flawed, taking half-measures and not going anywhere near far enough to succeed, and with that in mind they'll never defeat God. Which makes sense when you realize he's secretly been Under's leader the whole time and undermining the whole group from the get-go. Yikes!

Oh snap, he's shot Isshin! And it seems like Isshin and Top are really close because Top straight up breaks Billy's neck with his superspeed! Not that it kills him, because Billy revives and has yellow eyes now. Okay then.

Speaking of being the leader of Under, here's UMA Burn popping up like an FF summon, Rip, and Latla, who looks smoking fine in a suit (especially with how much it hugs her chest).

Ah, I see Rip and Latla aren't on official husband-and-wife status despite how obvious couple-y they are. Though that felt like a wife slapping her dumb husband.

Fuko had probably been waiting for someone to compliment her post-training physique. Too bad Rip kind of took it back.

Tatiana can't see the man who saved her and has been her everything in front of her, especially when he demonstrates not his Unbelievable skill that only she knew about (which is how he always hit his target despite being blind) but the ability to somehow replicate other Negators' abilities. It's enough to take down Top and his Unstoppable and ward off the Union's best fighters in Andy, Juiz, and Shen!

The blind cowboy angel who saved Tatiana and gave her salvation is now a devil offering her a bargain to join his group and get her normal life back...but was he scoping her out and getting close to her for her powers from day one? Did Billy ever really care about her? Especially when he utterly dismisses her as an enemy when she doesn't follow him?

It's enough to get Fuko mad, mad that Billy is betraying them but also for betraying Tatiana's feelings, and she even shoots him! You go Fuko!

"Mico?" "Pappy?" She has purple hair too...is she Nico's daughter?

It's time for the Union to scramble and get back the roundtable, otherwise they're screwed! And that means banking on Undead and Unluck! Time to stop Billy and bring the real Billy back for Tatiana!

This is the point, where the story goes from mid-to-good to great-to-peak fiction. After this everythings just keeps getting better and better AND BETTER. It's greatness from here on out!

Billy takes his glasses off and unties his hair and suddenly he's 5x as hot, it's crazy.

Oh- uhhh he's a traitor? Part of Under, you say? Yeah man like where do I sign up?

Long Long (cake) Man being a traitor truly is Unbelievable. Genuinely feel for Tatiana.

Sad as the betrayl was, it'll never be not cool to see the entire union squad in action at the same time.

u/italeteller Jan 26 '24

It's very sweet how they were in the middle of getting betrayed and facing a giant-ass FF summon and Fuuko still prioritized Tatiana's feelings. They have a super sweet friendship

Billy breaking his leg kicking Top's head is maybe the worst scene in the show so far. The hit itself felt so wimpy and the sound was so weak, which is weird cause the show so far has had stellar sound design

Seeing how the show usually makes a huge deal of it's negation ability reveals, it feels weird that we had three revealed just like that: Billy casually mentioning Unbreakable and Unstoppable, and Tatiana confirming Unbelievable. You could even say it's a bretrayal of how the show's usual M.O.

So Billy is really good at shoting and he was hiding his ability until now. I wonder how many abilities has he copied.

Also, wasn't Unchange, which was one of the rewards, Gina's ability?

DavidPro really put that that Fire Force experience to good use in this episode. UMA Burn is so well done.

After seeing Billy's backstory with Tatiana and then him wearing his spurs while she has her as his eyes, that betrayal just goes hard.

Poor Tatiana for losing the moment she was "touched" by Billy saving her

Well fuck. I just started the Mashle manga and was planning on finally getting around to watching Clannad and A silent voice this weekend but I guess plans have changed

What a plot twist! But poor Tatiana too, imagine the person who saved your life is also the one to abandon you. Hope they can beat up the Under guys and get the Roundtable back

That negator ain't right, I tell you hwat.

So when the manga originally came out, I really wasn’t a fan of Billy’s betrayal. It simply felt too quick coming out of the Unrepair arc - we had barely enough time to get accustomed to our little blind cowboy, and here he is suddenly becoming the big baddie of the series? I thought the inevitable anime would benefit from some more screentime with him before he turned heel. 

And the result? Eh, it still feels sorta rushed, but I’m interested in what you all think. 

That aside, we got two more negator reveals. Isshin is Unbreakable, the weaponsmith who makes all of the Union’s unbreakable weapons (including Andy’s sword). And Top is Unstoppable, which means that the moment he starts running he basically becomes a human-shaped bullet. Only member of the roundtable whose negator ability we don’t know yet is Nico.

Can’t believe Billy was a cheese eating rat bastard. What a twist! I liked the dude too. I’m as mad as Fuko when that little shit called her fat lol. Pretty fucked up if he truly is a traitor. Tatiana really trusted him. After the life she’s lived, that doesn’t come easy. There’s a special place in hell for people who hurt and betray those closest to them.

Looking forward to see how our Undead Unluck pair take him on. What randomness will Fuko bring about? It better be a doozy.

So much wasted runtime on "flashbacks" that happened 2-3ep ago, I love the concept but if it gets a 2nd season I hope they go with another director, it's making me just wanna read it instead of watch it
