It actually wasn't that bad. Just a whole typical historical conspiracy thing. Like ancient aliens and the like. Not philosophical symbolism that could be really poorly done.

I had been afraid of how they'd handle it since the beginning but I find myself pleased, so far. It might mess up later, but right now I'm liking the direction they're taking.

Great episode

That's more like it. You really had me worried there, Gaim. The stuff that moved the plot was great, and the stuff with Gridon and Bravo was silly and funny as it should have been. A decent serving of both levity and plot developement, unlike last week which moved the plot very little but had nothing substancial to fill the void.

DJ Sagara... WHAT ARE YOU?!

So where in Assassins Creed the Fruits of Legend are Pieces of Eden, in Gaim they are Helheim's Fruit. Intriguing...

I can not handle the amount of hilarity in this episode :lol

I just loved this and can't wait to see more apples, and maybe the movie is in canon? Overall I liked seeing more Gridon, we need to see the Butchers favorite character more.

I'll take betting money that Oren gets the Fruit of Destiny and loses it due to not being as gorgeous as the Overlords unsuited.

Also, another episode of Kouta being wishy washy, Kaito being a general d-bag. I'm gonna need them to write Kouta actually growing a pair, and I don't mean cherries. Either you're there to make the Overlords listen or not dude.

DJ Sagara is so off the charts, he makes the rest of the characters look like fools, I love it, he's the version of Kaito that Kaito dreams of becoming. The one that's so powerful, he can choose how he wants to level the playing field beneath him.

My only slight concern is that they're gonna monkey up the last 25 episodes with a bunch of Mai fluff. But it's slight. We seem to be in a pattern of darkness and levity that's just right.

About what?

Do people actually know what "wishy-washy" means or just say it becaus ethey think it makes them look smart? He's not ambiguious on anything, he's going to get their help, he just doesn't know how or where to find them. He was in Helheim looking for them.

I think my favorite part of this episode was the interactions between Junouichi and Oren. Not even the big silly stuff, just them talking.

It's really a side of Oren we've never seen before, him caring about another human being.

Love the character development for Jounouchi and Oren. They feel like they have the typical son and father/grandfather relationship that I've seen in most JDramas where the father/grandfather is always scolding/criticizing the son for not living like a proper man. Except instead of never complementing the 'son' when he does something right because he can't 'show emotions' Oren actually gives Jounouch encouragement and it's clear that he cares about his pupil.

Also I'm glad that we now know Kaito has a specif reason for his current search for power, he needs to be stronger than the overlords so he can make his demands to these beings who can control Helheim. What he want's to demand is still unclear and he could still give up on earth but it's nice to know he has some end goal in mind instead of only mindlessly going after power(which he also does XP )
