I need to ask, like how long has it been since we've had a major character that's a pure monster like Desast?
Like most are either minor monster of the weeks, mindless, and in a lot of cases, are actually humanoid/human people transforming into monsters. And if they aren't humanoid/human to start, they'll have a disguise and such. Because Desast may just be my favorite pure monster in the longest time. There's been something endearing watching him go through all the show just skulking around, and for what? He just wants to have fun, he wants to have freedom, like you can't really call him a villain. An Antagonist yes, but it's clear the dude was shackled in how much he could do. So seeing post first arc Desast sorta just skulk around, post on twitter/instagram (this is canon, I won't accept otherwise), and then slowly get involved when his best buddy ever is breaking off from the big organization. It's interesting to see because like, he has no ulterior motive clearly, he just wants to have fun, probably help Ren grow, and of course he'll become a temporary hero if it means keeping Storious from going full Doctor Maki. Not much other to say this week other than it definitely felt like a transition episode as we start to fully set up the final battle. Glad to see Charybdis more recently too, it even got a handy new upgrade in the form of bulking out one arm and leg. |

Everyone's talking about Desast, but for me the big character change up was Tassel. He went from being just a sideshow character to actually having some reasonable development. His crazy colorful ways were just a by-product of becoming a part of Wonder World. And for once he was direct with the how and why all of this is coming to pass. It's all making this very Gaim in nature, but without the complicated way that Gaim tried to resolve itself.
Also, it's interesting that as the Book of Creation was split, so was Luna, I'm interested in how that's gonna pan out. Desast is going full Ankh now and I'm on board for that. But I wish they'd just resolve Ren's story since there's more than enough to fill the final episodes. Also, anyone notice Touma is now using both the sword of Flame AND Xross Saber? I really like that whichever swordsmen are with him he's able to not just use their powers, but he can amp up theirs as well. It's a very cool effect that gives the other characters some actual time to show off.

They really did Desast dirty in this show. He had such an interesting character but they completely wasted it by just showing him moping around. His fights were great but way too few. They could've had a potential wild card to mix things up. I was really excited when he turned into the second Falchion but it seems like he's gonna die next week unfortunately. I hope they'll give him a good ending at least.

It looks like everyone will riot if Desast's final moments does him no justice.. |

Wouldn't Ren be the third KR Falchion? I have a feeling that Ren will be told by Desast that he was to toughest swordsman he's ever faced Desast and will give the sword and book to Ren and he'll wear it for the remainder of the season.

Storius is here to kill CHAOS.
Seriously, suddenly switching to a Dark Knight Batman voice is kind of lame, but then again, it seems to be more like a, "I'm tired of waiting around, now to get serious," or that's just what happens when you get the Omni Force book, I don't know, I kind of would have liked him to have a different personality than what we have here. Though, having an appetite for destruction and gushing about the end, makes him a little more fitting for Saber's final boss in a way. Tassel, or Viktor, reveals stuff about the past, and sure enough, he IS DJ Sagara from Gaim, but then again, we all knew this guy had a reason for being here, and I'm happy about that. I kind of liked how Storius always seemed distant in those shots, while Zooous and Legiel seemed like buddies along with everyone else, which leads me to think that Storius warped them into joining his cause, which if done well, could make up for their early deaths. Double Gekido and Suzune action! Great to see Buster and Slash get some action, even more Charybdis. And Dezast, while I loved seeing him trasform into Falchion, I kind of wished he got more spotlight in the show, since it looks like he's going to be kicking the bucket soon. Which is a shame, because I enjoyed him, and almost thought he might pull a Gremlin from Wizard. Next Week: "When did this suddenly become Deathly Hallows?" |

I think initially Desast is gonna be the main villain of the show like Blood Stalk but the idea was scrapped maybe because of his voice actor busy doing another project? well,i dunno

It's interesting you bring up Gaim because I thought so too when it came to Kento's character. I thought it was very reminiscent of Mitchy when he learned "the truth" and became evil for a period of time.
