Yeah, maybe to you, pal, but this is how I've felt for 6 episodes straight.

I've got nothing on the Minusaur thing (Tankjoh didn't need a little brother to survive so I don't see why they made it so overly convoluted), but I will, and I can't believe this is what I'm being the optimist about, stick up for the poison thing.

It's not really a deus ex machina so much as a great example of how clunky Ryusoulger gets. The way I see it, the only actual takeaway from the scene with Ui's dad for the viewer is meant to be "get piece of monster = save friends", with the exact method they turn that into a cure not being important. Consequently, the show elected to use this as an opportunity to reestablish the Elder's presence in the show, presumably for the purpose of having him remark on the Ryusoulgers growth at the end to wrap the first arc in a nice bow.

At least I think that's what they're going for. Again, very little of how this show is structured ever makes total sense to me.
