天下制覇

   

Everyone’s getting demon magic shoved in their mouths!

Impressions:

Come on, guys. Is this really how you want to limp to the finish line? On the back of one episode after another where they simply teleport from one speech about how all is doomed to the next? That is literally all that the merry band of adventurers have done for the last two weeks. I guess nobody new has popped up to claim that he was the true, true mastermind between killing both their parents, but that’s small comfort at best, especially with all the obnoxious info dumping just leading up to Amira being a test tube baby. There are so many better ways that they could have done that, and so very few of them required a pale clown simply blurting it out.

The corruption of Jeanne is also unconvincing at best. She had no personality to begin with anyway. Her only traits were “being stoic” and “ass-pull beam cannon.” If she had any emotions at all, or showed any caring about anything, maybe there would be a reason to buy her suddenly deciding to go Sith, least of all based on the juxtaposition of people sacrificing themselves for her and a demon clown whispering that all humans are scum. They seem a bit mutually exclusive, especially with the offer being given by literally the spawn of Satan, who you have spent your whole life fighting and are presumably familiar with their wiles. Nor am I sure why they decided to bring back devil boy. The more I think/write about it, the more this episode is annoying me. I’d say “leaving a bad taste in my mouth,” but then I’d be disgusted with myself too.
