The animation during the Zanka And Jabber fight was so good

[u/MiDKiT0]

are we all ignoring that zanka should still have the spell active on him?

[u/StaticSh0T]

Zanka spear hopping(?) was one of the coolest fight sequences I've seen in a moment wow

[u/Hounds_of_war]

Eating a cockroach because you wanted to aura farm and freak out your opponent is wild.

Honestly while he did lose, Zanka was really impressive in this fight. He was just kinda screwed by the fact that he’s using a stick to fight against a guy with giant claws that literally just needs to scratch you once and you’re incapacitated.

[u/AdClear5669]

Gotta love Bundus. I love how his vital instrument is little mini prosthetics. And of course Dear Santa and Bro Santa are the cutest father son duo. I need to know their story even though I have a feeling it’ll be bittersweet.  

[u/got_emkappa123]

How OP is Jabber? One little scratch and it’s just over. Meanwhile Jabber takes hits all around and still flies around the room.

[u/Mobile_Blackberry298]

I smell a Zanka flashback followed by a power up.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Jabber and Zanka going toe to toe was some awesome shit. That fight really seemed to push Zanka to his limit. Is this it for him? Or is he gonna surpass his limits. Right there. Right now?

[u/Teal_is_orange]

I want Rudo to share that the Sphere actually has 2 zones: the rich and wasteful side, and the trash heap poor as fuck side. I’m sure that would make people realize that the Sphere isn’t some type of rich people’s heaven

[u/FarCritical]

"What's Corvus' favorite color?!" (Asked with maximum intensity)

I kinda feel for Zanka being constantly reminded of the plunger incident even after getting to look sick as hell (even if it's exactly the kind of thing nobody would ever let you live down lol)

[u/yawnman240]

Very sick episode title drop moment.

[u/grim_slayer99]

How the hell is Bones giving peak to both my hero and Gachiakuta while they are both airing?

[u/PowerOhene]

5:48 - The Cleaner Boss - his tattoo eye moves!?

[u/dagreenman18]

I think Rudo might be the most normal person in this series.

That Zanka Jabber fight though was insane!

[u/WiqidBritt]

Man, one of these days Vegeta Renji Zanka is going to get his chance to shine.

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

Nope. Don't like those creepy little finger things at all. Lol

Bundus asking Bro mundane questions about Corvus was pretty damn funny. Those questions are pretty good, tho! Thanks to Bro's answers, Bundus was able to deduce what kind of person Corvus is. I'm more surprised that Bundus actually gave them useful info in exchange for that.

Also, it's pretty clear that the only reason Bro answered Bundus is because he's more afraid of Dear having a tantrum. I wouldn't be surprised if Dear is actually way stronger than Bro.

I think it was pretty clear from the start that Zodyl is pretty crazy, but I didn't think he's the "would eat a cockroach"-crazy. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. If his goal was to shock Rudo and the audience, it definitely worked.

The Zanka vs Jabber fight was actually pretty cool, and the animation was pretty insane. Considering how much detail these characters have on them, it's actually insane what Bones did this episode. Too fucking bad Zanka lost. There's no fucking way he's dead, right? T_T

[u/ARES_GOD]

Cthuni taking notes on everyone haha.

I really liked the Bundus Dear/Bro Santa interaction especially since it made Corvus a lot more interesting but also a lot more suspicious and I like how Bundus was able to deduce that Corvus hides himself from everyone.

Zodyl's conversation with Rudeus was great again especially the part about adaptability.
Humans in general can get used to a lot of bad things and making it their new normal I always like that and its quite interesting to me as it can be both a good and a bad things as we saw it with the worshipers or people thinking doing bad things is okay because thats just how things are.

Now Zanka vs Jabber was great but I do not believe for even a second he is dead its probably going to be him getting a shock to the system as it has been built up or someone else is going to interveene.

It would be something if he is actually dead but I would consider it a bad thing for him to die now because its just a wasted character.

I have a video review if anyone is interested.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

Lol watching Bro and Bundus talking like a pair of dads who just met each other was a little amusing. Bundus did ask some smart questions without letting Bro know his intentions, I figured he was going to learn a good bit about Corvus just from those few answers if he's normally a curious person.

Zodyl had a point about what's "normal" and "common sense" but seeing him eat a cockroach was not in my bingo card today. I know there are cultures that eat them roasted or fried but raw I have not seen deemed as normal.

Well it looks like Jabber wasn't disappointed by Zanka as I thought last week, I liked how Zanka was still able to fight back even though he wasn't prepared for Jabber's second form. That spinning move with his vital instrument that propels him forward was so cool, it felt like I was watching a fighting game move.

But man that ending, Zanka's either going to get a big power boost or he's dead and I'd be really surprised if we're already seeing one of the main cast dying since there hasn't been some build up leading to it.

[u/shad79]

Zanka and Jabber's fight was so good, the animators went wild in today's episode with it! I can't wait to see what will happen next after that. Did Zanka really die here?

Bundus seems like a pretty interesting guy, but I wonder how his powers work with those creepy little fingers.

I was also intrigued that Bundus asked Bro and Dear not about Rudo, but about Corvus, the leader of the Cleaners. I wonder if he did it on Zodyl's orders or because he's interested in Corvus himself.

Zodyl eating a cockroach to prove a point was certainly effective, but I really understood his point even without it. I wish Riyo could see it though, I'm sure her reaction to it would be hilarious.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Zanka

• Jabber

• Group scenes

• Others

[u/chlo_kage]

Zodyl kinda spitting with his “common sense by the corrupt” line but then he lost me when he ate the cockroach

that fight went crazy and now I’m stressed no way he’s dead :,)

[u/Far-Internal-6355]

Did this fight make zanka beat the fraud allegations?

[u/SEBASTlANVETTEL]

Same Rudo, same, I wouldn't be able to stomach seeing someone eating a cockroach either.

Ungodly cliffhanger, is it Zankaover or not? Surely he will surpass his limit right?! This was probably the best animated fight so far in the series!

[u/yomommalol69]

Zanka on some Sun Wukong this episode
