A good sequence of events, and a very fun start to our finals. I think the matches we got to see were genuinely a lot of fun to watch, and the talking interspersed everywhere was actually enjoyable. I think the battles themselves are weighting my score because all of the lead up to the finals was rather meh, literally just following our characters training or otherwise, and I hate a training arc with fervour. Nonetheless, Ryota joining the main cast is arguably (definitely) the best thing that happened this episode; that is my child, I will hear no slander or hatred towards this adorable and pure being. Yeah, there's not very much more to it all - oh, apart from the biggest menace to society continuing to be a menace to society and just slandering everyone. God, is Luis insufferable.
