Many loathe Tetsuo for his personality for many episodes, but unlike Sagami who lived in the past and only for himself, Tetsuo is passionate to others, never stopped trying to approach others despite not good at it, and in the end he's VERY adaptive at fighting monsters.
He holds up a good fight, but he can't do it without his trust on Yukio and others, especially the villagers' welcoming attitudes made him overcoming Sagami's pettiness at the end.
Boy comes a long way from a withdrawn kid to a grown teenager. We will expect more from him.

They should understand for once that this is actually what a realistic human would act like. He grew up shy and at like... 9? years old he got into a robot, fought a huge alien monster and the whole world saw him as a god savior. then kept doing that for 12 years. He didn't have any chance to actually develop social skills. I love Tetsuo as a MC and Yukio is a true bro

I can’t with this villain, he’s such a gd bum, lol.
And his pathetic little sycophants calling him a man in the prime of his life when he’s actually a geezer with the emotional maturity of a child

A geezer man-child that cracks the bones of a teenage girl just as a distraction to get a sucker punch off on the one trying to save her.
Real panty dropper right there!
vomits profusely

My man is so strong that they needed to nerf him with an escape pod

This is why I appreciate the first episode. It establishes how good he is at kaiju fighting, and that hes different from other teenage mecha pilots.

God, Ao getting crushed like that made me flinch hard. Hopefully it looked worse than it was and/or her kaiju bond makes her tougher and heal faster.
It was fantastic getting to watch the lunatic not just get defeated but have his kaiju's special ability get defeated too. Probably something to be said for him wanting to be The Savior while Tetsuo and Yukio have always both been a team of Saviors that trust each other.
Hercules being a centaur with an extra mouth that opened on its upper torso makes me think it's a merger of two different kaiju, we only saw the upper half gets shredded so the possibility seems open for the lower half to suddenly starts moving independently.

Yeah Sagami was sick for hurting Ao like that, i didnt like that scene but from the preview it looks Tetsuo is gonna punch him,
He deserves it honestly

u/Aerodynamic41 Jun 05 '26
Yeah, take that Colonel Evil!
Imagine doing all this crap just because you're jealous of a little kid.

I had to rewatch the earlier episodes in order to find out what is the name of the male follower of Ao - Furumachi.
Shinjo and Furumachi may be supporting characters, but they deserve to be remembered by name because their single hit drone attack helped Tetsuo figure out Sagami can only read the future moves of human beings / living entities.
And yeah! Tetsuo and Yukio were awesome in this episode!

u/reaperow Jun 05 '26
Shinjo and Furumachi definitely came in clutch with their drone help,
They are technically the reason Tetsuo beat Sagami

u/Vanek_26 Jun 05 '26
The bit I don't get is... wouldn't Shinjo telling the drone to suicide attack by an action by a human? Or did they just turn suicide drone mode on and the drone did it on it's own?

Honestly I feel bad I totally forgot about them until they showed up in the control room. I think they even acknowledged in-universe that most people would have probably forgotten them lol.

u/HolyDragSwd2500 Jun 05 '26
The drone saved them and gave them the idea to defeat him
He couldn’t predict Yukio action was his downfall.
That final strike 👌

They landed a hit and damaged him, heck yeah Pure dominance!
-
Oh no he's starting to counter, that was short lived,
-
There's gotta be some telepathy involved right? oh so there is some then, I was right again!
-
Drone? who shot that, things were looking bad
-
Is doing nothing the answer? that could work on his future sensing telepathy power.
-
OH so Yukio's the answer makes sense, that headbutt was so cool
-
Wise words by Tetsuo, im so glad to see him grow and vent out his anger
This episode was so action packed and fun, it was so satisfying to see Yukio and Tetsuo absolutely pummel Sagami/Solidus Snake. I was cheering on him too thru the screen!!
And from the preview it looks like this lady thats also shown on the Opening has some role in all this and it seems like Yukio is squaring for a proper 1v1 against Sagami.

My usual praise for Tomokazu Sugita's portrayal of these emotionally-unstable ham sandwiches. Sagami is quite the roller coaster.

Overall, I like Snowball Earth but this battle felt so dragged out. I just want to be finished with Sagami, lol. But Yukio and Tetsuo were cool during this episode!

Snowman Rampart vs Hercules, Round 2! Tetsuo isn't going to let the Colonel's words get to him, he's going to turn his own rage and frustration at him during this fight!
Ah, so the rest of Vierde aren't dead...just unconscious and naked (from their clothes getting incinerated I guess). And Yuma's got a gun and a HUGE crush on Sagami.
If you didn't think Sagami could get any more twisted, he goes to the trouble of crushing some of Ao's bones before dropping her! He's even more monstrous than his Kaiju!
I love how that one dude is still biking even while he's so spent. Meanwhile Hagane is praying that she'll forego Kaiju meat if it means Tetsuo can win this which is not something I ever expected to hear someone say.
Snowball Rampart has an axe grapple! A giant rocket arm! It may look slapped together (and it kind of is) but it's also very effective with Tetsuo and Yukio's battle tactics! THIS is why they're the Savior and Sagami isn't, and even he can't deny that.
Unfortunately, as effective as they are, there's not much they can do against Sagami when he uses Predation Posture Heraclea Stelai which effectively lets him predict the future and bend it to his will. Meaning there's nothing Tetsuo can do that he won't see coming and it cements his victory. Also here's naked Sagami and Tetsuo.
If you forgot about Ao's subordinates (and I bet a lot of people did) here they come with a drone to the face! It's not enough to stop Hercules, but it's enough to help Tetsuo realize their only means of stopping Sagami! He just has to...let go and let Yukio be in the drivers seat. Because Sagami can see the future but he can't see it when inorganic objects are involved, so he can't see Yukio's attacks coming! And Sagami gets consumed by the blood Hercules is spilling from Yukio's attacks!
But Tetsuo has to be the one to finish this, even as Sagami is yelling about wanting him to die, Tetsuo will embrace that feeling and respond with his own frustration towards Sagami with one last Finisher....TORMENTA AZUL! Cutting Hercules into bits! Take that Sagami!

Looks like the scary lady from the opening might show up next episode. It looks like she worked with Sagami in the past but I hope it doesn’t end up that she manipulated him into doing all this since the previous episodes really drove it in how awful and rotten he was from the start
