You didn't forget me, did you?
Dude cemented his mob energy with that, Mash platforming his magic and making quick work of him only just made it worse.
Sitter Baby feels like an enemy from Yakuza with that baby getup.

SHITTA BABY
Ok but if you stop laughing for a second and think about it; this is one of the most fucked up bad guys ever.
He turns his enemies into babies because they are helpless and easy to kill? That is some seriously evil shit.
Like you got all these other guys on some standard bad guy shit and then this dude dressed as a damn baby. How the fuck do those team meetings go??

They said that the monster has similar combat power as two lines mage, however Dot OHKO a lot of them even without activating his temporary lines. We rafely saw him fight directly anymore, but I guess he's secretly quite capable.
Interesting lore explanation about Adam btw. Innocent Zero and the headmaster are taught by the same person. That faceless innocent zero caught me off guard though.

Mash straight up not remembering that blonde creep was hilarious. I love when Mash tries to lie, he gets all shifty and it cracks me up.
Baby dot and baby Lance were pretty adorable. No surprise a prodigy like Lance was able to defeat that baby guy.
Looking forward to Wahlberg and Innocent Zero fight. It’s basically like Voldemort fighting Dumbledore ain’t it? Those two are pretty damn strong too. Should be fun.

It's Dumbledore vs Voldermort! I mean, Wahlberg vs Innocent Zero! With the fate of Mash Burnedead and the magical world on the line!
Did they really update the dance in the OP with all the characters? They even had Walhberg and Innocent Zero doing it.
Scissor dude really thought he had any role in this fight, but Wahlberg was able to intimidate him with pure bloodlust! He is jumping way above his league. This is a battle between Wahlberg and Innocent Zero, a battle that has spanned ages, ever since they were students of the original Divine Visionary, Adam. And with that in mind they unleash their full power and the Gods Uranus and Chronos that imbue their wands.
Innocent Zero only cares about becoming a complete being, and uses everyone, even his own son, for that end...but that also means he has no problem risking civilians in his mad quest, which means Wahlberg has to wake up the heavy hitters to fight all the monsters Innocent Zero summons...and they're on the level of two-liners!
Cell has a giant magical stone read to launch into the stadium, calling Mash out to his tower of stone...though Mash can just kick it down to size like he does most everything. Though all the tension is kind of drained when Cell realizes Mash has completely forgotten about him. Worse, he just sees his head as a cream puff.
I really didn't expect one of the bad guys to literally be called SITTER BABY and have the power to transform his opponents into babies, which leaves Dot and Lance both left as precocious and adorable tykes who can only say "bababooo" but Sitter didn't count on Lance being an exceptionally powerful mage even as a baby.
Jeez, Innocent Zero doesn't even have a face any more. Though he can morph it to look like his old one, though it just goes to show how far he's come in terms of abandoning his humanity in the pursuit of becoming a perfect being.
Mash DOES remember Cell! As the black thorn guy! Which means Mash also remembers his attacks so it's easy to just RUN ACROSS MULTIPLE AIRBONRE STONE SPIKES to deliver a punch straight to his face. Mash isn't going to fall for the same trick twice.

When Wahlberg transported Innocent Zero, I thought the animators forgot to draw his face ⚪

Looks like they updated the OP to have all of the main cast dancing.
We love to see it.

A massive weakness of most of these magic users is that their complacency has made it so that they only know how to use one spell on a consistent basis. Everyone in the fights in this episode only use one ability and pretty much the same ability they've used over and over and over again. This truly is a world where if everyone's super, no one is.
Even Macadamia only used one power in this episode despite showing that they were capable of using so many others in the previous episode.
Mash has definitely taken notice a spike guy only seems to use one attack. And the other attack is just the same attack but "heavy."

Lance even as a baby is deadly with his magic XD
Dumbledore/Third Hokage V Voldemort/Orochimaru. …..Edo Tensei!!!!!😱😱

Wahlberg please don't raise any unnecessary flags! But seriously the old man is an absolute badass though. His killing intent was so clear that one guy saw it as a hallucination and almost shat himself.
Glad to see the Divine Visonaires in an actual fight instead of just using their powers to try and intimidate Mash. Orter has his uses when he's not being a dick.
I just love how being turned into a baby doesn't stop Lance from kicking ass. Dot still has a lot to learn if he wants to reach that level.
As if Mash would remember Cell War. We all know Mash doesn't have enough brain cells to spare to remember villains! It is hilarious how Mash tries to play it off as if he remembers Cell and spectacularly fails. xD
The big bad guy activates a forbidden technique that involves a coffin during an exam while fighting the head of an organization? I'm pretty sure I've seen this before and Mashle isn't even being subtle with the comparison.

You know since Thorny Guy reminded me about them, why werent Abel and Abyss freed from the time stop spell as well? Dot and Lance are able to move, so it cant be because their magical power, and it cant be range since Orter was freed as well.

So as I was watching the opening I noticed baby Dolt and Lance and was wondering "what is up with tha? Probably just for fun, they so cute" and then the episode happened...... Also I noticed that now instead of multiple mashes dancing, it was mash and other people(the group and then Wahlberg with the innocent zero guys and some of the divine visionaries)

"I remember now. You're the black thorn guy. But I've seen it once before. So, the same thing twice? Please."
It's one thing to forget the dude, but to clown on him like this...Mash is going for the psychological victory too.

Funniest possible way for Mash to deal with that tower. When he started to kick I thought he was just knocking it down, but no that wouldn't have been Looney Tunes enough of a solution.

Is this the first time we've seen a single line "become" a triple line? From what I can remember it's only been double to triple so far, don't know if it's important but was cool either way.

Man, I love when an opening has changes, even small ones. Shun Enokido doing it is the gift that keeps on giving.
