I really like how the villain is handling things. He's straight forward and no nonsense. Fairly refreshing than those who are always brooding in the shadows. Rudo probably shouldn't trust him though, even if their goals somewhat align.

Smart of them to seperate everyone, I was kind of hoping for an all out brawl though. But what Jabber said has me thinking, is there another level that Givers can unlock on their instruments? A more powered up version of what they have? That would be a fun dynamic to throw in, because right now, it appears everyone is overmatched against the Raiders.

Enjin on the umbrella was pretty great, dude knows how to go with the flow, literally. As for Guita, it seems like she has no one to fight? Hoping she makes it out of this OK, because she's as silly as she is cute.

Zoyld Typhon hasn’t even started fighting yet, but the guy already gives off a huge aura lol. The combat teams are already set, but only Zanka vs. Jabber and Riyo vs. Noerde have started their fights. The next episodes are going to be insane!

That was a neat episode.

We are jumping right into a battle shōnen arc with everyone getting 1v1s. Except Guita; she's just happy to be there. The next few episodes should be very fun; for various reasons. I hope Bones goes all out with the animation.

I did want Jabber and Zanka to get a rematch, but Jabber revealing that he's been holding back the entire time is some seriously bad news for Zanka!

Noerde's electric hair is going to make this one challenging haircut for Riyo.

Time for some 1v1s, and I’m seriously hyped for it.

As much as I like Zanka, I just don’t see him winning this fight, especially after how things went in his last fight.

Riyo’s matchup looks rough, but I don’t think she’s going down that easily. Also, not surprised they paired her against another girl, classic shounen move.

I'm not that into the design and personality of the antagonists. They're very generic, exaggerated and a bit bland.

The matchups have been established, and it's gonna be awesome. I can tell. Looks like our gang might be pushed to their limits in this battle, ngl. The way all of them have a upper hand on us right now.

The Raiders coming in with their leader Zodyl Typhon to snatch Kudo and the Cleaners for a trash storm show-off, yet the all-important question to take the Sphere down, thrown to the Spherite himself, he's another level of psychological manipulation to trounce Kudo at whatever he tries to say.

With the Cleaners and Raiders dragged out across the underground to fight one-on-one, for Zanka, fighting Jabber is but a clear conscience to whatever they're planning beforehand, that this fight will be the one stretched out long for whatever it takes. Even if the few cockroaches around are unsettling, Kiyo battling Noerde Hew Amozo with literate hair fashion of scissors vs. comb, it's a girls' fight after all. But to see Jabber being shown his full potential, and Amozo's plastic, electrically powered hair being multifaceted, the Raiders are defintely more than the Cleaners take them for.

A Shonen fight this is one, in the works.

What a great episode! I was genuinely transfixed for most of it.

The various match-ups are fire! That hair lady is cool, I love her style, and I'm also really intrigued by whoever Enjin is paired up with.

I really dislike that claw guy, though, so I'm not overjoyed to have him back so soon, but as long as Zanka wipes the floor with him I'll be OK.

This episode is action packed, and it introduced a whole slew of new villains. Gachiakuta is quickly becoming one of my favorite new anime of the year.

the combination of all the fights + introducing new villains/powers + keeping the insane tension + teasing zodyl's motives... actually jawdropping.

fulfilling my wish last ep of knowing a bit more about the main team, the ep focused on zanka and riyos fights, while leaving the new cleaners for a later ep.

jabber as an antagonist is just awesome. i admit to not watching much battle shonen, but a villain who is purely masochist and the terror that comes with that, i personally have never seen.

and riyo saying scissors and hair not being a good matchup for the other person to it actually not being a good matchup for herself AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

this was just a breathtaking episode. breath bated the whole 20 minutes.

Zodyl is very assertive with poor lil Rudo, but what he's bringing up is exactly the kinds of questions Rudo should be asking himself.
Zodyl wanted to destroy the Sphere, and he's moving towards that goal with no waste. How about Rudo?

The reason why Rudo wanted to get back up to the sphere is to return to where he feels he belongs and to avenge the people who wronged him, as well as "KILL THEM ALL," though unfortunately, the latter would not happen regardlessof what he does. Regardless, the only reason why he's with the cleaners in the first place is to be trained in his ability and to gain knowledge or information. Well, clearly, he's better off being with the Raiders if that's the case, since they actually specialise in man-to-man combat and they seem to have more intel than the cleaners.

Let's see if Rudo will prioritise camaraderie and connections over his pursuit for revenge...

Meanwhile, we're getting a lot of fights going on simultaneously, veeery shonen-like.
