Episode 32: A Second Warrior Appears!

If grossout humor is your thing, then boy do I have the episode for you!

The structure of this one was really odd, and that's not just because a plot important item is a giant ball of dung.

Like, in terms of series structure, I get why this one is a late episode, as it essentially signals how we're moving into Changerion's' endgame with the ever growing threat of the Dark Dimension taking over Earth.

But in a character sense, this felt like an episode that really should've happened about ten episodes earlier, as the idea that Akira is getting full of himself again with all the victories he's had, is something that really feels like he'd have grown past by now after all that he's been through.

Especially since Akira has already been humbled plenty of times before, and if the mysterious second warrior really is Hayami, then it makes the early episode where he became Changerion, as well as the episode we just had about his old grudge feel like total wastes. Hopefully Hayami eating the seeds is some sort of bait and switch, otherwise alot of character development goes out the window.

So yeah, combine all that with a majority of this episode's' humor being toilet-based, and I have some very mixed feelings on this one.
