Togashi, you don't have to finish HxH anymore, I have something new - "Tower of God" ^^. The best episode of the season! If any of you hesitated, is it worth watching, I say - very worth it! I love this moment in cheaper/technically weaker anime when the episode from the series "fuck yea" appears. This one gave me a lot of satisfaction.
But, but the time comes for a summary. There is something to write about in this episode and I certainly will not exhaust the topic, because unfortunately, I have other things to do, but from what I know from my younger brother, colleague Rafał and Anonymous colleague, this second season will blow their heads.
I will start with my favorite thread - the fight between the Sheep and the Jahad sisters. While 2vs1 was fairly balanced and King Jahad's envoy could both win and lose, his solo duel with a Ranker sister was already one-sided. A sheep, or a ball of rice, as they called it in episode 12, was demolished by a girl. She just used one hand on him, something like Jiren against Goku, when he attacked him in forms with golden hair. Now I wonder what would happen if Yu Han Sung would bother to use his left hand to fight ... Given that he is a High Ranker and his sister is at the level of the usual one, I think a coffee lover would make go for tasty roast mutton. I know that the studio cuts a lot out of the fights and thus loses its choreography very much, but to be honest - it doesn't bother me. I admit, maybe my attitude results from the fact that I miss fresh anime, like "Hunter x Hunter" or "Fullmetal Alchemist", where the most important thing is cleverness and how creatively use your resources, possibilities, strengths, maximum it will eliminate the weak ones (or lead to a scenario in which they will not interfere), but to be honest, from episode to episode they are getting better and better. The sisters may not be able to use the potential of the swords, but they know them well enough that they can lead to a situation where a Sheep may die if he is careless. The fact that he sold them a few blows lay and squeaked, but the fight is about efficiency, and arrogance is a weakness that can be turned against its owner.
Comparisons with HxH are not accidental xD.
This time Rak did not have many opportunities to show its funny assets, but you can see that it is quite fast and has good stamina. Although he is a big block, he moves quickly, jumps a lot, it doesn't cause him a problem. Surely he is far from Ranker, but I'm curious how strong he is. I laughed at the moment he said: "Damn, I'm a great Rak, I don't have to run away! I have to get into the middle of a fight and destroy my enemies!" xD, In addition, awesome staff with Lero Ro and Yu Han. The boys do not trust each other and you can see Siu beautifully presented the important features of their personality - suspicion in the former and calm in the latter. The guy is so powerful that he does not have to use force on most people because he will defeat them with just their eyes or thoughts. Like our Alligator, the Sheep, I suspect that angry Lero Ro could damage his clothes or lightly hurt his lovely face. This face beautifully expresses the sentence like "Come on, try your luck."
As for the tip, then ... Rahel is a mean bitch :D. I don't know why she did it, but I heard she has her reasons. I will not spoil, because probably we will not get an explanation for this for a long time, but as it results from the translation of my friend Rafał, it is logical. I will wait for clarifications, although I do not expect that we will get them in the next, last episode.
The thread of Khun and his family did not really interest me, but maybe something cool will hatch out of it. However, I am not moving back - I was interested in the difference in strength between him and his brother. I hope Siu knows how to balance the characters well because these huge differences in strength are really cool, but it's easy to put through the inconsistency and plot armor of important characters. Well, but I believe in Siu, now I finally believe in WebToon fans' assurance that ToG can be even better than HxH.
And how did you like the 12 episode? :)
