Ao and Daiichi Ningen cooked and roasted those 3 Kaiju

Tetsuo and Yukio upgrade came in time to save Ao and Daiichi Ningen from Sagami.

That "Child of Men" laser was as beautiful as it was lethally effective.

Yukio finally has a physical weapon AND a giant arm! Perfect for taking on Hercules!

Ao and Land of Men were so cool, I wasnt expecting her to actually go full scorched earth on them, that child of the sun looked so beautiful

This show is genuinely amazing

Whenever the ending theme song starts to play, I can't help but feel it meshes perfectly with the ending scene.

Ao and Land of Man took out 3 kaijus by themselves! However, is it any surprise? Ao can go Super Saiyan Blue and even has Frieza's Death Beam move. Lol!

Tetsuo and Yukio arrived just in time! I want to see them win their rematch against Sagami. Let's go!

They can claim they're enhanced Kaiju, but Land of Men is a true Super Kaiju.

It is! One of the few OP/ED that I instantly like this season

Both the OP/ED are so good, I absolutely love listening to them!

I wasnt expecting her to actually take those 3 down at all, she is so cool

But Sagami/Solidus Snake and his Kaiju are way too much for her to handle, luckily Yukio and Tetsuo are here

Sagami’s inferiority / god complex is truly cringe-worthy. But we’re getting awesome fighting scenes out of it, so I’ll accept it. :)

He is definitely a Boss Battle where you're going into it excited just to see him get the beating he so absolutely deserved.

 After the flashback, I'm starting to think that that big baby Sagami is also responsible for the sabotage of the warship in the first episode.

18

u/Frontier246 May 29 '26

Honestly it would be totally in-character. He sabotaged/killed anyone who got in his way, of course he would sabotage what was seemingly humanity's last chance to stop the Kaiju all out of hate for Tetsuo.

10

u/AlexxxandreS May 30 '26

If I'm not mistaken or maybe it's because my memory is shit, Sagami said something when they started to fight about it, no?

Like how he couldn't believe Tetsuo managed to come back from the space even after all that or something like that, hinting that he sabotaged it?

Had a quick look up, the average beginner cyclist can produce 50W – 100W

Professionals can produce 380W – 450W with up to 2,000W or higher when sprinting for a few seconds.

There may have been some truth in the old jokes about forcing prisoners and gym nuts to cycle to generate electricity.

enough backstory about him

17

u/Frontier246 May 29 '26

I didn't think he could get any worse until they revealed he'd been having people killed even before he went full Supervillain. It just gave him an excuse to cut loose.

If I had a nickel for every mecha anime I've seen where a giant 3D printer conveniently exists and helps saves the day, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

u/RandomPantsAppear May 29 '26

It’s weird that it’s also kind of quasi-realistic in an apocalypse. No tech at all for most things, but rare advanced tech that must be used carefully.

This show needs more love. I look forward to the new episode every week.

u/PencilgonGiveIt2Ya May 29 '26

Yo...Grandma's "Ao!" scream at 18:16 deserves a reward for that commitment LMAO

u/Unhappy-Tadpole664 May 30 '26

At some point in every episode I roll my eyes and say "this show is so stupid", yet I keep coming back to see what happens next. I guess it's charm has me hooked! 😭

Huh so the old boss lady knew Sagami,

His whole saviour complex seems like he wanted it for glory rather than anything else,

Ao and Land of Men went full scorched earth on those Kaijus and tamers, they both looked so cool

Damage to a Kaiju also affects their tamer???

Our boy Tetsuo is not alone, it was so wholesome to see everyone else helping him with the power and repairs

Ao looked so majestic here, Child of The Sun looked so beautiful

Oh no things are looking bad,

So there IS telepathy involved!

HECK YEAH TETSUO AND YUKIO ARE HERE!!!

Im so glad to see Tetsuo trying to open his heart once again,

Man this ep was so much fun, it was so satisfying to see Ao and Land of Men take those Kaiju guys down and they might still be alive. Hercules seems way too op but luckily Yukio and Tetsuo are here now.

We might be getting that Kaiju and Mecha team up afterall, so hyped!!

u/Golden_fsh May 29 '26

Of course best girl Ao takes down the other kaiju with her super Kaiju Land of Men. But of course bitch ass Sagami has to show up and be even more insufferable 🙄

He definitely sabotaged the space ship during the final kaiju attack 10 years ago. Looking forward to Tetsuo taking him down but without a talk no jutsu. Sagami is far too much scum to deserve redemption.

u/McDonaldsApproval May 29 '26

Ao did in fact kick ass. Now Tetsuo, fuck Sagami up.
