天下制覇

They were trying entirely too hard this week.

Impressions:

For the first time ever, after two months, the battle didn’t end with one of the characters randomly exploding with magical power to win. In a true twist of fate, they just flat out lost. Kind of. Apparently it wasn’t that much of a battle since he had time to literally just pick her up and walk away before Ilya fell out of the sky to one-shot everything. But since she didn’t have to be beaten up first, I’m counting it enough of a change to the standard formula to count. And then they carted him off to Lis’s home where they stripped him naked and licked/fondled/breasted him back to full health. Because why not. Same reason Q wants to ride his centaur too, one imagines. I’m also not entirely certain what that random bit of censorship in the middle of it was. Or why he suddenly has PTSD from the seventh time he was molested by a CG monster but not any of the first six.

Almost the entirety of the rest was just infodumping in various forms, which was at least probably 75% of the episode with a chunk of the rest being flashbacks tossed in because apparently only after she’s kidnapped are we supposed to care about whose-her-face. Great composition there, Feel. Not that I pretend to know about dimensional travelling or otherworld physics, but you’d think there’d be a better time for it than while in freefall. Or at least they’d have told him about how they’d land so he didn’t scream his head off like an imbecile. Ilya’s horn also looked especially phallic this week. Just putting that out there.
