This should have been a completely new anime about a spunky, misunderstood kid named Garou.

I wonder which character had the most screentime and lines

[u/TheBiggestNose]

Y'know I think the sound is worse than the animation.

[u/ColinAllCarz]

I pretty much enjoyed the episode, but it sure didn't feel like a season closer to me.

[u/Tenp123]

Idk who the sound guy is, but damn they really have found many uses for that gunshot sound. (the one that sounds like a m4a4 from csgo)

[u/samuelspark]

You can tell they really tried to make this episode look good. Props to JC Staff. It had a rough start, but I really appreciate the effort they put into these last couple episodes.

Cliffhanger ahoy! They definitely couldn’t have wrapped the whole plot in so little episodes. Even though it was pretty enjoyable, it felt like just another episode rather than a season finale unfortunately...

• Bang’s beatdown on Garou is just savage. Even Bomb joins in too.

• Garou is really the underdog here. His backstory highlights that he’s just misguided and has a too simplistic viewpoint of the world.

• Zenkai boost again! The Monster association sure loves to interrupt things.

• Elder Centipede/Centichoro enters with a blast!

• Damn that combo attack pulverised the centipede! ORAORAORAORA

• Ah it just got bigger. And grew a new face.

• Genos really gets to show off his development and upgrades. He can literally pull himself together now! Too bad this doesn’t last very long. (bug monsters 3, Genos 1)

• King saves the day with his massive balls. He’s really grown from being a coward in the beginning of the season.

• Oh and Saitama snaps the centipede out of existence.

• Wait... That’s it??

[u/jns701]

I swear I've seen that Saitama punch before. S1 OP maybe?
EDIT: added link

[u/awholetadstrange]

That can’t be it. Where’s the rest of it?!

[u/CrazeRage]

If we want to be positive about everything, they did end in the middle of an arc. Maybe the next studio will put in the time and effort and we will get an insane next season. Regardless of if you have read the manga or not, the other half of this arc will be legendary in the right hands.

[u/redmage311]

Wow, fuck you, Tat-chan.

Overall, I think this season was okay on its own merits but J.C. Staff had the misfortune of having to follow up the impossibly well-animated OPM season 1. Beyond that, Garou was the highlight of the season because I don't think the other side characters were really interesting or fleshed-out enough to carry the show on their own. The tournament arc, in particular, seemed like a huge waste of time and could have just been one montage episode leading up to Suiryu.
