Hell yeah! I hope Zeztz lives up to the current standards.

It's especially pathetic that Jeep resorts to begging Gavv to let him take revenge. So pathetic that Gavv won't even waste Gochipod on him. Shows that even with the shiny title of vice president, he hasn't changed at all and Liselle wants to preserve him in that state of perpetual depression she loves to see.

I like the confusion of Hanto, who has thought many times about taking revenge on his mother's kidnapper, but ended up in a situation where everything is completely different. Moreover, he can partially turn into the one he hated since childhood, at least in the eyes of the other boy. So the situation is very difficult.

I'd like to see Lakia contribute to this subplot, since he kind of owes Hanto for helping him hunt down Ripper, a former suspect in Comel's murder. Makes me wonder how he'd react in this situation, if he found out that Comel's murderer sought redemption. He blames himself for providing Stomach the means to replicate his euphoric toxins and considering how Liselle has already delivered 1000 Dark Snacks, that means he's indirectly responsible for those deaths. Damn, so Lakia's hands have innocent blood on them after all, even though he saved his original victims. Maybe he would advise Hanto to hear out Lago, whose name I noticed is Lango without the n.

The OP didn't show Lango fizzle out like Theta did, so it seems that he managed to survive offscreen. For now at least.

I think I know the answer.

Nice important episode pretending to be filler.

I think it could be like my reply to DreadBringer's Lakia hypothesis last week, that Hanto could choose neither revenge nor forgiveness, but rather grant Lago the chance to live and atone for his crimes.
