天下制覇

…of energy, you perverts.

Impressions:

The big showdown between Haiaiaiaia and Fon-fon certainly seemed to have a hardon for turning them both into glowing balls of energy and having them bounce off each other. If you squint just right, you can pretend like it’s whatever your favorite generic Shonen Jump battle may be. There were a few dramatic moments and some actual real choreography above and beyond hitting the other person’s sword, grunting, letting your aura flair, and then pouring out your daddy issues, but they were a bit eclipsed by people turning into giant glowsticks… and whining about their father. There was an insert song through it, but I wasn’t really a fan. I preferred the bad RPG tune they were playing previously. It also didn’t help that the only time Layfon even broke a sweat is when Felli accidentally distracted him, but he threatened to kill Haiaiaiaia after the doofus kept whining about his father and then proceeded to one-shot him, so even at the end, he was just a mook in front of the Fon-fon avenger.

Aside from that, there wasn’t too much on the development front this week outside of the last couple minutes, unless you count probably around five full minutes devoted to idiot Haiaiaiaiaiaia and how his group of mercenaries is his family. Outside of the daddy issues there, Mayth ran off because Grendan is bearing down on Zuellni. I’m impressed that Grendan is almost as fast as conventional transport. Either that, or Leerin got lost a few times on her way there. That’s far more interesting than Leerin slapping Layfon and bitching him out for being up to his usual "slicing guys up" tricks that he was supposed to be getting away from. Sister, if you have issues with Fon-fon cutting a bitch, I’ve got issues with you. I did like that they actually showed Darth Vader actively suppressing Felli’s power. That seemed like something of a gaping hole whenever you kidnap a telepath that they actually addressed, so huzzah for them.
