You know what this reminds me of? Secchan's last episode, the recap one. It feels made in a similar way, in which there's something the episode had to be built around- the recap footage, and the CGI mech debut (which they were probably working on for longer then everything else to animate it,) and then had the rest of a plot backfilled around it, complete with a new use for an old monster suit.

Which... it's a shame the big debut episode kinda feels like backfill? You'd kinda want it to have more pop. That said, there is a lot of good material filled around it, I'm especially a big fan of everything still going on with Hakaiser, and his interactions with Stacey and Zox this ep. And, you know, we did get a very nice big debut episode for Hakaiser himself last episode, so we didn't miss out on that entirely. So non-peak Zenkai is still a very enjoyable show, and I cant wait to see how they dig into the bodyswapping plot next ep.
