For a show billed as kid's show (yeah, it's what Reino Barack established the show as, adult viewers are just bonus), they went the brutal way in George's fate, that he was outright killed, in a brutal way, albeit offscreen.

Yeah, Mikhail having the same blood type as Ray, and a really rare one at that, AB negative, is something that isn't just a throwaway here or small meaningful event just to keep the main protagonist alive.

It's a victory, but things are only looking to get worse from here.

Valcus Monster's brutality earns him 2 Helios Blaster shots.
