Like the breh said above, in the manga, there’s some tough moments in this cour. If they kept it faithful, these last two episodes would’ve been mid as hell outside of the Yhwach-Ichibe fight. Cour 3 is going to have a more fire start than even Cour 1. I don’t care to write out everything in a spoiler, but man…and that’s just with what the manga dictates. Kubo is almost certainly add some extra shyt that makes it even better.
They must feel really good about their pacing going forward to spend almost an entire episode worth of anime original stuff between the last few eps.
