Maybe only, like, two real battles this episode, but that's kind of fine considering all of the leadup to Zac's match(es). Genuinely, that guy is so extra and it'll never not be funny. The fact he pretty much has his own background characters is wonderful, and how his team performed in their rounds was extremely impressive, even if they were only against NPCs. The other half of the episode focussed on Valt getting his confidence back - which was long overdue - but the way it happened felt ridiculously stupid. There was zero teamwork, team building, or motivational skills worked on, so the switch up is actually nonsensical; they could have done what they did better, but that's neither here nor there. We end the episode with Valt not having a brain: part two hundred and ninety-seven, but the next episode will most definitely be funny as anything - at least, the beginning has to be, or I'll be disappointed.
