天下制覇

Congratulations to both of you… you made it a competition as to who was the lamest.

Impressions:

Oh come on. Mohs goes down to a Grand Cross and Largo is one-shotted by an arrow to the back. Apparently it hit his weak point, because Guy setting him on fire had absolutely no effect, but a little piece of wood was enough to bring him to a slow operatic end. As usual, neither fight was interesting nor consisted of over 3 attacks, leaving just Largo’s little sob story and another diagram of the planet’s fonon flow as the meat of the episode. Seriously… we’ve seen that same gooddamned diagram of the planet in at least seven or eight episodes, if not more. I’m tired of it. Make a new one.

They did do a better job fleshing out Largo here, but he’s about 3 levels from the bottom of the villain tier list, and half-assing Natalia’s family issues for a second time really doesn’t cut it. She’s already gone through accepting that she’s not the ‘real’ princess, but is still the princess, and adding 45 seconds of hesitation before shooting her real father who sort of wants to destroy everything she loves isn’t exactly a particularly compelling moral dilemma, especially when team A is fighting against a giant bloated cthulan pope.

Asch vs his rival, constipation.
