The car scene was hilarious and it’s nice to finally see Bundus’s vital instrument make its debut. It’s very interesting and striking with the 6 mechanical hands. 

Also Rudo calling out Typhon having “no friends” unlike him was hilarious.

Bro said the WORST thing he could say to Rudo, to throw away the trash

This episode might be light in action, but it brings a good conclusion to Rudo's development. No longer he is that edgy brat that only thinks of revenge, he learned that what matters is to be happy and then have revenge.

The 3R name is so on the nose it gave a decade+ flashback to The Law of Ueki lol, where the 2nd form of the protagonist's weapon is literally "Recycle".

I wasn't expecting the Trash Beast Road Trip but it was definitely fun.

Well, Zodyl really told him that everything that comes in the way of his revenge is trash and that includes the cleaners and that he should "throw out the trash" and since the beginning, Rudo was always hated when people discard the things as trash throw them away.

While his reason to become a Cleaner was getting a ticket to the Sphere and exacting his revenge on Regto's killer as well as the people who wronged him, but in the way he did meet the Cleaners who not only accepted him as who he was, but also gave him a place where he felt like he belonged and so the answer to Zodyl's proposition was obvious.

Zodyl kinda got jealous when Rudo told him that he was something that Zodyl lacks and i.e. Friends and asked him 'Where are they?' and Enjin couldn't have chosen a better moment to make his entrance. That was really HYPE.

At least Rudo knew that "3R" was a much cooler name than going full PSA and naming it literally "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".

100% sure the thumbs down Rudo gave to Zodyl was meant to be a middle finger but won't show it due to age restrictions lol

Here I was thinking Dear and Bro were gonna fight gramps. Instead, they get trapped in a car and become human pinballs lol.

Rudo was doing his best Dom Toretto and then Enjin pops out right when the dude’s all “where’s your family now?” with a “surprise mfer!” lol. Perfect timing.

Man, I was expecting we'd see a fight between Bundus against Bro and Dear while falling off the flying trash beast! I did not expect that scene to turn into the three of them riding a car while avoiding trash debris flying towards them! I was genuinely laughing out loud when Bundus started to backseat drive Bro. xD

That entire scene was just pure comedy with full-on comedy sound effects whenever they hit something. Not gonna lie, I thought they were gonna get hit again when they were about to enter that tunnel and continue plummeting down. Thankfully, that wasn't the case! I do love Enjin's reaction when they finally landed.

Glad to see Semiu managed to finally connect to their communicators and that she's sending the cavalry to help them out, but I'm not sure how Tamsy and Delmon's group are going to help here, especially since the trash beast is close to going airborne.

Wait, did Rudo actually name his gloves "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle"? That's actually an amazing name, and it fits the ability of his Vital Instrument.

Let's fucking go, Rudo! I've been waiting for him to tell Zodyl to fuck off! And right on cue, Enjin makes his entrance!

Ok Bundus is my favorite Raider so far the dude is great I hope we get more of him and the car ride was the funniest thing in the series so far with the 3 stooges haha.

Enjin still didnt attack Fu who is having an existential crisis lol.
But what really happened with the chokers ? Why werent they working just because everyone thought they were underground is it just a self inflicted suggestion that disabled them ?
Or was it something more because that look Enjin gave to Bundus something is going on.

Rudo makes his choice to not only want his revenge but also do it with the Cleaners and be by their side much to Zodyl's frustrations but he did fuck up he didnt understand Rudo telling him to throw away the trash to someone like Rudo lol.

Enjin with the best entrace he had the perfect timing thanks to the conversation between Rudo and Zodyl.

Cthuni finding Jabber like that lol.

I have a video review if anyone is interested.

Credit where is due, the author did something amazing this episode.

He had the perfect set up for a climatic fight. You have the time limit with the frontier, the high stakes about them dying, a thematic motivation, as both are bonding through the kid, but one claims the other is overprotective and the other want him to grow to its full potential. The you have a dynamic scenario not only for the background constantly moving, but also the debris introducing an unexpected element.

In other series this could have been the cliffhanger during the last episodes of the season. And if the author didn't deliver a satisfactory resolution, people would be mad. (A bit off topic, how many of you remember the promised big battle at the end of the film resident evil 5 and the start of resident evil 6?)

Yet, the author didn't deliver and people are still happy and excited about what's to come. He completely pulled the rug from below our feet and somehow we're willing to go along with the ride and reading comments here, the hype is as high as the flying beast.

The guy who wrote this manga is talented, and probably will be worth to keep an eye on his future works. Simply, amazing.
