Stop, it's exposition time.

Impressions:

You just have to laugh at this show's inability to do anything without slowing time to a crawl to fit in as much internal narration as possible. And then at the end, we got sucked into a pocket dimension where the had a conversation with the blacksmith version of himself, all in the name of going "Well, try a little harder." We're only on episode 4, guys. 5 if you want to be technical. We haven't even done a single arc with the initial rules of his powers. Why are we changing the rules? And why are we doing it against some random miniboss schmo? But I guess Mr Poison Ivy jumped from mind control plants to armor plants, so I don't think there are any rules we're following. And speaking of the schmo, instead of just jumping our protagonist, he calls him out to talk, just to say "Nothing personal, but I kill for the paycheck." How else could our hero shout and have the moral high ground? Or does he!? Surprise twist, it's for his daughter all along.

The girl also got to do her own time dilation internal narration bits too with her future sight power. I never like it when they go this direction with powers instead of a more vague spider sense because it never a great deal of sense. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It gives them perfect prediction, corrects for their actions, and they also get perfect reflexes to go with it. It's not a problem specific to Japanese stuff either. I always loved in Batman TAS for example that once a CPA knows that Batman takes .5 seconds to throw a punch, it makes him a superior martial artist. But at least something goddamned happened and it wasn't twenty goddamned minutes of sipping tea.
