He's likely a Japanese speaking citizen with English as a second language. Such a thing is not uncommon in Japan.

But Kikaider was a crossover. It shouldn't count. Much like the awful Toqger crossover, it's clearly removed from the show's main canon.

Also, "at least stuff happened" doesn't mean the epsiode wasn't awful.

"It's not the lowest common denominator" isn't an excuse for poor quality. Gaim is in the final stretch, shit has become corporeal and subject to consequence, and they spent an entire episode on pointless shit. Hell, you could argue nothing really did happen, since it was really minor and could've been put in the previous episode or next.

I do not like the idea of an Overlord of the week.

This wasn't the best episode we've had, no, but it wasn't the worst. But it did feel like a lot of it could have been condensed into half an episode and then end on, oh I don't know, revealing Micchy's identity to Kouta already damnit...

Cool things for next week: Gridon using Watermelon Arms. That's sure to be hilarious.

I know how the series will end

Bandou will make parfait for everyone using Helheim fruit

All will eat it unknowingly

Everyone becomes invess

The end

That English speaking politician guy is a hoot. I love when a Japanese-language series has an English speaker that sounds so incredibly unnatural. Like they were a tourist just plucked off the street and payed to do their role in one take. :lol

And what was that other European politician guy? German? Russian? Polish? Azerbaijani?

French.

That was French? It didn't sound like French.

Also, I want to see Micchy die. Painfully with an Energy Kagematsu jabbed through his fucking little throat.

Micchy is gonna survive the series. I swear, the kinds of reactions that he gets is just begging for him to survive :lol

Gen Urubuchi would be a serious troll if Miichi survives till the very end.

I swear, Kouta is gonna pull a Gentarou and keep his friendship with him despite the horrible things he's done :lol

Good episode. Peacock Overlord literally contributed nothing other then giving Micchy an excuse to live. And Bravo just shows up out of nowhere to give us our, "Hey, thus isn't the real Shin Zangetsu" plot.

I found that English speaking guy to be fine. It's just that he sounded ridiculously not-Australian.
