Whatever they’re paying these script writers, it’s far too much.
Impressions:
I would say that the script once again careened entirely off the rails, but it was never really on them to start with this episode. So let’s summarize just to try to get all our ducks in something approaching a tesseract because there’s no way this will be a neat and tidy row. This throwaway random supervillain of the week turns out to be the previous strongest hero in the world, which nobody recognizes for some reason. The drunk girl picks a fight with him because for some reason, she assumes that the person bombing the lab she’s in and the supposed stalker calling her and breathing heavily are the same person, and Loli also decides, yeah, that makes sense, let’s run with that. So she beats him up because she has a surprise immunity to his powers until he remembers that he can fight back, but gets beaten up anyway and thrown into the goop he was trying to steal, thus giving him exactly what he wanted. Upon leaving, her father has completely forgotten that he confiscated a battle suit from her already and is shocked to discover that it’s her inside the same one as before. And she for some reason, decided to grab some of the evil goop and smuggle it out, but only so far as to him, where it’s revealed she’s immune to that too, because her suit is made from alien material that nullifies hero and anti-hero powers. Had we not mentioned that yet? There’s a crashed alien spaceship somewhere that nobody’s allowed to touch, but she made a cosplay superhero suit out of it.
I genuinely don’t know where to even start, and that’s skimming over some things like the evil goo is made from the shavings of Cyan’s boyfriend’s leavings or something. What was even with that long walk and talk with the random CEOs to their Organization XIII-ass goofy throne room in the middle of the night? He’s ready to murder a random scientist, but cowed by a drunk 90 pound drunk girl? He flat out forgot he had other powers? Can someone please hire a 12 year old to review the script and make some edits for coherence. These last two arcs have been so asinine, and it shouldn’t be a hard bar to clear E-Soul and Cyan. The animation is still remaining significantly better than any of the other action shows, but it’s so frustrating that the script and characters are total nonsense.
