![]() ![]() She demands the weapon from Bam, who refuses (having promised Rachel never to betray anyone, “especially a girl”), and seems about to take it by force before Lero-ro intervenes to restore order (and not even Anak can ignore him). She forfeits the game in the process of going after Bam, but clearly the crown was no priority for Anak. She and Laure have their fun, but his teammates have seen enough and drag him from the arena.Īnd that would be that – no one else seems keen to challenge the lizard girl – but Anak has sensed the presence of the Black March. That, of course, makes her a Princess of Zahad just like Yuri. Anak’s weapon is a relative – each are part of the “13 Month Series” (hers is Green April). Bam’s Black March is literally quivering with excitement (sorry Rak, not because of you – but I love that you thought that), and there’s a good reason. He’s capable of clearing the decks easily, but that gets Anak’s blood up, and there’s no question now that both of them are wide awake.Ī wave controller, an ignition weapon – it’s no wonder Khun decides it might be best to sit this bonus round out. ![]() Laure finally rumbles into action, and reveals himself to be a “ Wave Controller” (yes, there is something Nen-like about these Shinsu users and their ability types. You know how viewers and readers complain when a series has an overpowered character? Well, SIU seems intent to test the idea of what will happen when you take a clown car full of them – any one of whom would elicit such complaints if they showed up in most shounen action series – and throw them in a blender together. Hatz’ swordsmanship is enough to hold the fort – and the crown – against the first challenger, but that’s when things get serious. That, and he has no qualms about punching a girl in the face – which, I’d contend, was exactly the right thing to do under the circumstances as she was going to “stab him a little”. Hatz is the trusting sort – he believed Shibisu’s “killing arts” performance – but Shibisu’s main weapon is certainly his mind. Now that she’s sat on the throne she can’t get off without the team being disqualified (which they’d know if they read the rules) much to Shibisu’s chagrin. And a lot of resources both of narrative and budget were set clearly aside for it with that in mind.Īnak is the main plot driver here, just as she was last week. It’s clear that these events were being built towards as the series’ first big crescendo, and it worked big-time. It also had big-time animation director (and director, period) Masahiko Murata in charge of the episode, and it was easily the most stylish and lavish of the bunch. This was also the episode that for me most closely captured the experience of the manhwa. This is Tower of God (Part I) at its most essential. It’s not as if there isn’t a lot more development and a lot more twists to come (there are, to excess) but this episode represents the appeal of the part of the series the anime will cover in a very elemental way. ![]() Who knows, no one can predict how anyone else will think or feel, but it strikes me that we’re there with Kami no Tou. Sometimes with adaptations we get to a “if it’s not working for you by now”, point – where it seems to me that if a new viewer hasn’t clicked in, they probably aren’t going to.
