The God of High School

This episode was a bit better than I remembered with how much action sequence in this. I like that the power Mori suddenly awakened to is very similar to Sun Wukong the monkey king just like Goku from DBZ. Anyways had a fun time rewatching. Sad there is no sequel anime to this.

Ok so using the analogy of MHA, we went from a tournament arc to the scale of fighting All For One. While the plot is progressing, there is many power fantasy fights and all, the scale of the show went too high on this one. This episode made the show went from a tournament plot into an all-out war between 3 parties and that's too fast of a pace for me. Also how come Jegal Taek uses Hollow-like creatures as his power now instead of the previous shark-spike powers, what is with this show changing some of the narrative of characters?

With the previous episode, the stakes are now higher with the main objective of every party in the show being fulfilled. This show started from hand-to-hand combat to pure power fantasy and I don't like how this turned out. Anyways, the plot is coming together and I like it. I very much would like to see how it ends.

Starting off with Ilpyo's back story on his reason for entering the tournament is really emotional. That said 2 events are happening at the same time but Mori's fight with Ilpyo is the biggest hype highlight here. The impact frames and the fluidity of the action scenes all makes this episode 100% worthwhile to watch.

Starting off from previous episode, Mori goes to a warehouse to save his beaten up grandpa, kicking off with tension and drama. Continuing we have Mira facing an opponent that gives her a big challenge to overcome. Things are starting to come together with more and more character development and fights and they make me hyped.

This episode is once again another character development episode, specifically for Mori. This episode focuses more on his desire to meet with his grandpa as well as having about friendship. That said, my favorite part of this episode is the fact that Q kept getting his pay reduced more and more like Dick Gumshoe from Ace Attorney. That part is funny at least.

3 events happening in one episode, this episode appears to be in a little rush. Sad that the announcer died in the previous episode but commissioner Q is about to fight with Nox as the tourney is ongoing with the main cast fighting another group. The flashback for the enemy group feels forcefully inserted and rushed as they feel unimportant with the amount of content available.

The tournament suddenly just announced to have the finalists to be a 3-person team, I don't know if I should take this as a sudden change or just plot armor for friendship. This episode is more about announcing new tournament stuff and development instead of all out action. That said there are still unexpected twists which I will not say because spoilers.

By far the best character development, continuing from last episode, Daewi fights to cure his friend from dying to the point he almost killed his friends making his friendship a little unstable with the same animation quality as before. So far this is the best emotional episode.

At first I was hyped a bit that the tournament had reached the semifinals until the Mira marriage subplot to ruin the mood. I mean it is good but as a development plot for the character but come on, this sub plot is excessive to me. Good for Mira though at least she's happy.

There is slight world-building in this episode along with the tournament going on. Also I can't help but notice Jin Mori is so identical to Goku from DBZ. His strong desire to fight strong oppenents, his sudden hunger after an intense fight all the similar traits as Goku.

Ending with a solidifying epic team fight and a 1v1 battle is truly remarkable and a banger! However, a more appealing BGM could have amplified the impact. Still, the quality is 1000% top-tier, and I love how the humorous chibi moments balanced the intense atmosphere.

Building on previous episodes, this plot is gripping, demanding your full attention. It highlights enormous power, mind-blowing moments, and epic fight scenes. Furthermore, the narrative now unveils the story's deep substance, and the ending will leave you with chilling moments.

It is now heading to the climax of this storyline! Every scene offers goosebump-inducing moments, paired w/ spot on sound effects. It is truly jaw dropping & the gripping ending will leave you stunned. PLUS! The high energy animation & quality make every second feel monumental.

As the narrative significantly progresses, the core substance of the plot begins to reveal itself, especially with a cliffhanger ending that is both twisting and exciting! The entire episode is brilliantly written, featuring fascinating and flabbergasting scenes.

The episode highlights Mira’s strength & determination to win, which unleashes her ability, as well as Mori’s fearless persistence in saving his grandfather. Each fight transition is very precise & calculated, plus the intense atmosphere maintains its consistency and momentum!

As the narrative builds, it hits a pivotal point w/ successive cliffhangers that keep the story intriguing. However, this episode leans heavily into dialogue & character focus over action. Though the depth is great, the deliberate pace and extensive talk cause a loss of momentum.

Starting with an epic fail fight in a comedic tone makes the moment highly entertaining. Plus, the fight scene transitions seamlessly between distinct settings. The fluidity of the choreography provides a stimulating hook and accelerates the plot's overall progression.

An average speed episode, filled w/ a profound narrative that unveils the core substance of the story. Additionally, it introduces elite fighters & new characters, w/c builds intensity for future stakes. This development will surely create an abrupt, gripping hook for the series.

It is a compelling narrative episode w/ profound emotional depth! The storyline highlights a poignant moment in Daewi’s situation & his growth. Moreover, the animation also accentuates an ink-style effect that really recreates a dynamic impact during the raging battle scenes.
