A new character that I really like appears, and his name is Clio. Clio rocks up and is a new (semi) relevant character where it turns out he has history with Kuza, that history of which being really silly and stupid on Kuza's end. Nonetheless, I actually really adored this episode purely because they kind of leaned into the ridiculousness. Clio heard the brief that he's based on a vampire and completely ran with it; I actually love when characters commit to the bit to this extent. Yet another round of the world championships is started and concluded this episode as well, the result being obvious but all of the little things that happen in between managing to make it entertaining enough to where it doesn't matter. Also, Evil Shu showing up at the end of the episode and actually being evil is shocking. I've been affectionately calling him Evil Shu because, oh, you know, he's just trying to be edgy and nonchalant, but, no, he is actually evil as it turns out. I just wonder how Evil Shu is going to involve himself in the A-plot since his (and, I guess, Boa's) B-plot is rather disconnected and not fully developed right now.
