Yet again, the pacing was terrible, and the story was confusing.
Far too long on the uninteresting, poorly animated, and worst of all, ultimately meaningless Anaak/Khun Ran fight that immediately abandons all the rules about not falling off the platform and dropping their boffers, not to mention the goal of planting their boffers in the 3 sockets in the middle of the platforms.
They’re fighting for some kind of tickets?
So 25th Bam/Yoru/Jue Voile Grace is a Living Weapon now?
Unexplained FUG Slayer candidate was bad enough.
I preferred weird undefined Irregular with an unknown potential high ceiling better.
And why is Sword/Pipe Telekinesis Guy wandering around the Archimedes?
Endorsi is in full glamor mode one moment, then being incognito the next?
I mean sure “show instead of tell” is better, but tell us a little to help us understand what’s going on…
I think I’ll have to catch up in the manhwa to figure things out.

I do think the animation for the Anaak/Ran fight was a step up from some earlier low points, but that is a pretty low bar to clear. I wholeheartedly agree about the rules of these games though. I have stopped trying to keep track of the rules for these things since that team-building game earlier in the season. The rules always end up getting changed, people exploit some loophole, or they are just ignored entirely.
The second half of the episode (post fight) felt like three episodes in one it moved so fast. They literally only showed one panning shot of Endorsi before she was sneaking around again. Like, what is the point of even showing that party if nothing happened there. Then we conveniently have a group of major characters literally run into each other. For elite warriors, they seem to be pretty clumsy.
As for Lero Ro, I was waiting for him to show back up at some point. At the end of last season, he had quit his role of administrator because he knew something wasn’t right with how that last test went down. He took Quant with him and decided to climb the tower to try to find answers. As an aside, what does climbing the tower mean to somebody that is already a ranker? Anyway, after this season got underway and we learned more about FUG, I figured he was going to be investigating them behind the scenes since they are the ones that organized Bam’s apparent death in season 1. So, I am pretty excited to see him return.
