Metal Cluster Hopper's true heroic debut is with the Hopper Blade.

Here's the thing, I could care less about a true debut or whatever they have planned. We've been stuck on the same pattern for 6 weeks with this Tournament Arc. We look to be dragging out the contest further by not focusing on it next week and the week after in favor of a Metal Cluster Arc. And I hate that because this Tournament Arc is not the most fun to watch at all. The fact is, that after 6 weeks Gai is still a smug boring villain that really brings down the debut because of his "Yes this is all as planned" mentality.

Is it cool and horrifying, yes! But that's not what I wanted from a form debut given the preceding weeks of this show.

I was hoping that the form would give us some kind of change, but it looks like we have to wait another 2 weeks for anything actual meaningful to happen. And I really hate that. Especially given Zero-One's snappier pacing beforehand in regards to arcs. Everything is just dragging and I hate it.

Still Fuwa continues to be the MvP of this entire arc and I will hopefully stan him till this show ends.
