Damn, this episode was fantastic. The fight was kind of whatever but learning about the Quincy, Jugo and Bass was great.

Here we learned of the friendship between Jugo and Bass. Bass proclaimed himself as the genius, and Jugo felt very empty. More than likely, I believe his uncle was not treating him kind at the very least. Bass took Jugo under his wing because he felt bad for him and wanted to be there for him.

Though it appears that there was some fighting with the Quincy. I feel like this is a more telling thing of Yhwach as a leader compared to let say Old Man Yama. Man, you could feel the pain of Bass of his home being attacked. I key thing is that Jugo when he lost his home, didn't feel the same thing. Jugo had nothing he really cared about, and honestly, he prob only committed to help Bass's revenge because it was easy for him to do what he was told.

The coldest moment in this episode when Jugo found out he was Yhwach's other half. Then to add that point, the scene where Yhwach tells Bass that you really aren't a genius because all of that hard work Jugo did went to you. I think Jugo realized, looking at Bass, why aren't you happy for me? Aren't we friends? At that point, it was clearly hurt, and he chose to protect Yhwach by catching the arrow. It was great use showing that same scene in the past and present.

For Jugo Yhwach was like a father to him. Now hard to say what their relationship was like and that was Jugo trying to be attached to someone because he never had anyone outside of Bass. Clearly, Bass was quick to not forgive Jugo. But it is clear that Jugo still cared for Bass and hoped he would change his tune. Of course, which never happened. The fight itself, while much to comment now as Jugo has far surpassed Bass. You can tell that Jugo was sad that he had to kill his former friend.

God-damn, this show just keeps getting better and better. :wow: Honestly, might put it above Dandadan for AOTS.



The animation was spectacular at the beginning during the fight between Oczy and Nowak. Of course, Nowak had reinforcements and Oczy would have won if this was a true one on one. Man Oczy's words of the fear of death means nothing compared to the fear of putting hope in this world. It simply implies that putting hope in the world feels so hopeless now. You need to strive to make that change. Though I loved the quote in Oczy's dream of if you don't make it public, how can they debate it? Again, the idea of you need to make the push to make the change. I am not sure what to make of Oczy's dream, but that feels like that is the tower one would use to reach heaven. Or something like that.

Nowak's dialogue why heretics keep coming is honestly fascinating when you consider that he can only see it from his POV. He talks about living the good and quiet life, we can reach heaven. He even blames Oczy for fighting for his convictions and killing his men. However, if you spin it around, what is wrong with seeking our freedom to study what we wish? Why do you have to raise the issue, which is the real reason Nowak's men lost their lives? Even if Badeni and Oczy are wrong, what is wrong in that if you can prove they are wrong? Essentially, the church is truly a cult in this story.

Sadly, Badeni was captured, but despite that, there are signs that he has grown. In the first part, he doesn't out Jolenta, which the old Badeni would have no hesitation to do. With the speculation from Nowak that is hiding something. That lie about not collaborating with Jolenta partially can possibly mean that Badeni is now open to passing on his work, and his conversation had a big effect on him. Which could be the reason why he got captured. But man, seeing the character development of both Oczy and Badeni has been a treat.

Honestly, it shouldn't be a surprise that Rafal's decision still sticks in Nowak's mind. I imagine he isn't much older than Jolenta and threw away his future for the sake of what he believes in. The fact, if he faces his daughter, what will be on his mind. Despite Badeni's best attempts, it's difficult to trick Nowak from getting anything out of a torture session. I doubt these two survive, but curious how it goes next.

Animation looks insane for the CSM movie. It's fukked up how all these big IPs make all that money and Mappa continues to be cheap as fukk with their teams and production schedules. I bet the CSM/JJK team is gonna be worked to death as soon as the film hit theaters to get JJK season 3 out ASAP :dead: greedy fukks probably want a Winter/Spring 26' date for JJK's Culling Game :mjlol:

At this point each series should have its own team. Both series are huge and make tons of money, specially JJK. Even if CSM did "less than expected" in its debut season, they still made bank with it.

Man, S1 was a blast, can't wait until S2. Man, the stuff at the end with Shampoo hit me in the feels :mjcry:


The Ranma remake feels so out of left field. Specially for a manga/anime that had such non ending :pachaha: I loved the original as it was one of the anime in heavy rotation on cable TV here in the early 2000's when I was kid but I honestly have no clue who or why asked for this remake, lol. At least it's as easy a watch as the OG :ehh:
