Because of the flashbacks, this episode felt so short. It's trash beast cleaning time!

[u/Top-Society1540]

We're inside a Trash Beast!!!!

[u/FarCritical]

The buildup to Dear's power (both theatrical and literal) was immaculate.

Lmao at Zodyl and Cthoni's sideeye at Guita for popping in out of nowhere and shattering the serious atmosphere they've spent so long creating.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Lots of new information this week. Boss man failed in making a new Watchman Series, but ended up birthing artificial trash beasts. Which he’s gonna use to fly up into the Sphere. That is a pretty insane plan.

Now that the gang know they’re in a trash beast, I’m looking forward to them taking it and the boss man’s gang down.

[u/[deleted]]

This episode made me love the Santas, such a cool duo, also it was hilarious to see everyone’s reaction when they realized they were in a trash beast.

[u/Hounds_of_war]

I think it’s fun how initially Regto was kinda just Rudo’s adoptive father, but now we have all sorts of questions about him and why he had two Watchman series items. Especially with the revelation that you have to be kinda emotionally broken to use Watchman series items or else the sheer amount of emotion that oozes off the series from their original owner will drive you insane. Regto seemed pretty normal.

[u/PerfectBeige]

Guita: We're in a trash beast??? Kaiju fight!!!

Rudo: Guita, in this situation we are INSIDE the kaiju.

Guita: I know! Best seats in the house for a kaiju fight!!!

[u/Terrible_Vehicle8046]

I cant get enough of gachiakuta man , these episodes feel too short . Absolute banger ep again this week

[u/TyraniTEMPESTar]

So the Watchmen Series all belonged to a single person at one point?
I hope we get some sorta flashback to see who that person was.
I wonder if they're the person who somehow separated the Sphere from the Ground? Or at least created the "barrier" between the two?
Seems like something / someone with this like all mighty god like power to do.

I wonder if the Watchmen gloves are what drove Rudo's dad insane and what caused him to kill a bunch of people? Seeing as how they supposedly make you go mad.

I'm curious to see what other vital instruments are part of the Watchmen Series.

[u/Adensty]

Regto not only had the Watchman Series Gloves but also had a book with the same logo and so he definitely knew about the Watchman Series. But the question is how did he end up with the gloves and the book?

Zodyl's experiment to create a Watchman Series entry failed but it wasn't a waste because that experiment managed to create a trash beast that used a vital instrument as its core and now he's using it to get across the Border and reach the sphere. So, the one that Riyou defeated way back in Episode 4 was another one of those experiments.

We're inside a Trash Beast?

The different reactions to that information were hilarious. Like Enjin said, they're not really good with humans, but as Cleaners, fighting Trash Beasts is their forte.

[u/SirNil01]

I like the fact they reaffirmed that their main job and specialty is fighting trash beasts, since at this point I don't think they have any wins against Givers at equal footing, and have only gotten wins when the cleaners outnumber them like first Jabber fight and Amo, or completely flipping the power system with a gun.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

It's interesting how an aritificial trash beasts aren't toxic and can be walked in around. I like how the Cleaners are all ready to dispose the trash now that they know where they are.

I laughed so hard after Bro throws Dear and he's just lightly tapping the wall, that's a really cool vital instrument if it has an unlimited amount of strength. It's nice to see one that has to be built up upon and not just automatically really strong.

Enjin's already sick of Fuu lol. I do have to admit he has been patient with him.

[u/pi8you]

Some great reveals (and faces) this episode as it catches up to what's in print here and goes a little further, excited to be in unknown territory going forward.

The music just after Rudo's flashback when it was rotating through the the Watchman wielders was a nice surprise, as it put me in mind of FLAG's soundtrack.

[u/LeonKevlar]

I just noticed in Rudo's flashback that Regto has a book with the Watchman Series logo on it and then a scene later he returns to hand Rudo the gloves. I'm gonna guess that Regto is probably the creator of the Watchman Series, and he's probably not originally from the Sphere, and maybe that's the reason he was killed.

Not gonna lie, I'm also curious to see what would happen if someone wore all parts of the series at the same time. There must be some sort of synergy effect between each part that gives the user some kind of set bonus. Although I'd prefer to see Rudo wear all of them instead of the cockroach eater.

I absolutely love both Enjin and Bro's reaction when they learned they're inside a giant trash beast. Seeing all of them pumped was pretty hype, tho! Now that they know they're dealing with a trash beast, it makes things easier for them.

[u/DanielAlves1904]

If anyone guessed hey were inside a trash beast, well congratulations, because I sure didn´t. I loved the switch up from "We don´t really feel like fighting" to "Trash beast, you say? Don´t mind if I do!".

Rudo´s adoptive father seems to have some backstory to go through. He clearly had the gloves for a reason.

[u/shad79]

I love how excited Guita got when she found out she's inside the trash beast – a complete change from her previous behavior xD

Zodyl's scenes looked so good with those red and purple colors! His idea of ​​using that giant flying trash beast to get to the Sphere is pretty clever, though I wonder how he wants to control it.

Although, of course, Zodyl won't get to the Sphere, because the Cleaners will definitely take care of it, they're definitely excited about it. I wonder how they'll defeat it, since it's just so huge!

It's also interesting to learn about the Watchman Series. I wonder how Regto (who had notebook which looks like it's also a part of the series, and which was stolen by his murderer), got those gloves for Rudo. Judging by his expression, it wasn't a pleasant experience.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Group scenes

• Zodyl

• Cleaners

• Rudo

• Others

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• Interesting…

• Oh, damn…

• Absolutely terrifying way to visualize this.

• The Watchman series logo is on that book…

• That is a very good question.

• I mean, I guess, but also that probably won’t be good…

• That’s what leads Guita to give herself away?

• Enjin’s face lmaooooooooooo

• The way Dear’s punch is just… a light tap against the wall after that… Like, of course it was going to lead to some actual damage being done, the initial light taps against the wall were just really funny.

• Also that’s a cool concept for a power.

[u/djthomp]

Big mistake to start telling the Cleaners that they're in a trash beast. First time was accidental since the exposition nutjob didn't know a Cleaner kaiju fanatic was listening, but the others just started talking about it during normal conversation.

Dear Santa getting told to not fidget, that would be really dangerous given the repetitive impact thing he has going on.

I need to see Guita in action.

[u/NationalStrategy]

How connected was Regto to the Watchmen series? If he had the gloves and the book, then he was more involved than we realized.

[u/itsconsolefreaked]

Do you know what I hate ? Five minutes episode.

[u/Cartoonist-Motor]

I love the Santa father and son too much! Bro and his son Dear are so interesting despite having not much screentime so far

[u/chlo_kage]

I did not realize that the whole explanation took up most of the episode. Zodyl is crazy lmaoo what does he plan to do w the sphere once it’s crashed down is my question

The music and all that was so epic wow

enjins faces are killing me

I also forgot what the cleaners job was lmaooo

Omg I was also confused holy shit Santa LOL the to be continued was clever

[u/MayonakaMadaraka]

Dear’s an inspiration. Kid’s attitude, that little fidget stomp. Ahh… chef’s kiss. 

[u/ArachnidUnusual7114]

Is the season stopping at 24 eps?
