Finally! After all this time! this arc is finally over! Thank you sweet merciful Jesus! I can finally put this stupid insidious arc to rest! Now the question is, HOW did it send? Well I’m more than happy to recap, as this is the last time I have to do a recap of this arc. So here we go.

So this takes place with seven seconds left to go before the big event happens that will determine if the future is a good one. Wet Blanket is running for the door, bird guy is completely useless as he can only affect trion, and telaportation woman’s powers are kind of crappy since she has so little trion left. That is until she stabs him with some of her pointy magic spikes.

Ow...my kidney.
Ow…my kidney.

With no other alternative, Replica tells him to throw him into the portal that will lead to their ship. He does, and Replica reroutes it so that the ship is going to leave in thirty seconds.

As the angry guy who shot the two last episode now has Fujin (aka Jin’s old black trigger wind blade) he injures bird guy and they’re forced to retreat. He picks up the cube that Wet Blanket had been carrying, however, it turns out he tricked them and it really wasn’t Chika’s cube, but a random trion cube. Unable to stay, they retreat without her. Wet Blanket collapses, and Replica is lost through the portal.

"Well I guess your chika's in another castle! haha ah. oh geez. i'm bleeding to death aren't I?"
“Well I guess your chika’s in another castle! haha ah. oh geez. i’m bleeding to death aren’t I?”

Meanwhile the rest of Border cleans up the rest of the neighbors and some random bitches are like “sorry we’re late!”

Sorry, we were getting burritos. what did we miss? Anything important?

Sorry we’re…YOU MISSED THE WHOLE DAMN FIGHT!

I don’t care who these guys are. They are entirely useless and had no point. Go fuck yourselves.

Anywho that’s when I realized….they forgot to take that guy who was fighting Jin. You know, the guy with the magnet powers. They kind of just…leave him there. They say it’s because “Since we didn’t capture the golden baby bird we have to leave him behind.” Dude….you just didn’t like that guy and wanted any excuse to get rid of him didn’t you? So he gets captured by Border.

Did...did those assholes seriously ditch me? It's because of that $20 i owe bird guy isn't it?

The other 4 baddies escape…Although I wish they didn’t because they’re stupid fucktards. You have OP boring magic hole woman, Boring Mcbirdman, boring mcstrong guy, and sexist mcoldguy. Truly a wondrous conglomeration of villains.

Oh yeah. And Wet Blanket will need a blood transfusion, but he’ll be okay. Oh, and ended up getting away with a lot of C rank people. Yeah…there’s that too

And the episode basically ends letting us know that the battle is over.

this episode was good solely for the purpose that it ended this battle arc. Thank the lord. I was so incredibly sick of this arc I can’t even tell you. Honestly, I don’t WANT these villains to come back. Realistically, the way it should have went was, guy who got captures still gets captured, but everyone except for bird guy and maybe teleportation chick live. There is NO REASON the old guy and the buff guy had to live. I don’t WANT to see them again, I don’t WANT to deal with them. I’ve seen their schtick, they’re boring and I don’t like them. At least they’ll be gone for a while though.

You mean the way you completely murder and abandon your teammates? Nah. s'cool. you're a great leader.

When it comes to replica, i’m not sure if i’m sad about it or not. It’s kind of like your toaster breaking down. I’m not like “Noo!! Toaster!” but at the same time…he was useful…so there was that. I mean..I don’t know if he’s dead/destroyed or not..but…meh?

This was an okay way to wrap up the arc. It wasn’t terrible, but it’s also not going to win all the awards either. And yes, i’m still pissed they basically delegated Konami to clean up duty. Oh well, at least she didn’t get turned into a cube like Ai. Hahaha.. ah… I don’t like Ai.

 

I don’t know what they’re going to do next but i’m actually somewhat excited as it won’t be a continuation of this arc so I can look forward to that.

All in all…..it was an okay episode. Not a revolutionary arc finale, but acceptable. 6.5/10
