Truly a shocking incident.

Impressions:

Well, this was sort of getting somewhere. I liked the teleporter battle once again and they did a bit of a better job in making sense this time around since both of the teleporters were repeatedly shown this time as being disoriented by their jumps instead of seamlessly going from one attack to the next. I’ll take a little retcon in exchange for this stuff making a little more sense. The language of choice this week was English too, which would have been amusing if that whole sequence wasn’t so boring. Apparently the antagonists are out to create some kind of Pan-Asian Superfriends, or perhaps League of Doom. Oddly, the Indian was about the only one who spoke nearly fluently.

Otherwise, meh. Outside of the new characters and short teleporter fight, it was basically just a whooooole crapload of exposition about the glory of Asia. They introduced two more antagonists, some woman from Aoi’s past who is "very powerful" somehow and just wanders around with an umbrella leaving notes telling the protagonists where to go, making me suspect that she’s the illegitimate child of the Penguin and the Riddler. The big-bad also seems to be a telekinetic too… maybe. It’s not really clear. It made the sound of him using his power, and then Aoi fell over. I’m not sure what exactly that means, but I’m hoping for the surprise twist where he can control the latent particles of meatbun in the air that Fuu Lan has been shoving down their throats. Nikumankinesis is a surprisingly deadly power in the wrong hands.

Oh yeah, there was also no preview for next week. No clue what’s up with that.
