**BEST FRIENDO HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Mahito is NOT messing around in this episode -- giving one of the best-delivered monologues of the season, but Todo (FINALLY) shows up and rivals him with a monologue of his own!
Yuuji is at his breaking point, but his "Best Friendo" is not about to let him go down without a fight, as Shibuya lays in shambles around them...

**SLIGHTLY TAKEN ABACK HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Well, we are finally at the last volume of the manga and...honestly? It was NOT what I was expecting! I can't believe I'm saying this...but I'm maybe...more partial to the anime? In any case, it's a great adaptation, but I'm happy to see the final volume now as it was originally shown to you all!
Now all that's left is the recap...*DARK LAUGHTER* Hm. About that...
Thank you for watching with me and for all the ...

**DEVILISH HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
OH. I am in LOVE with Martin's character, but not in love with the tension and suspense this episode is giving! Martin and Tenma collide and Eva is in danger, and the entire scene is set on a WEIRD stage if there ever was one!
I have so many questions, but I just want Martin and Eva to live and for Tenma to rescue them at this point...is that too much to ask!?

**THREE ON THREE HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
At the halfway point of the season and we're fully into the "second selection" and things are certainly NOT going the way I expected, but in the BEST WAY!
Isagi and his harem club president Bachira team up with an unlikely ally and things take an intriguing turn as we move into the second half of the season! As Ru Paul would say, "I can't wait to see how this turns out!"

The halfway point of season 1 is in this episode set and OOF. Man, does it HURT. Shogo Makishima luring Akane into similar situations as Kogami was put through...and revealing that he's not someone that can be easily dealt with by an Enforcer or Inspector, it seems!
Plus, we FINALLY get backstory on Kunizuka and how she became an Enforcer! The hardest cut between episodes so far, but honestly, after the horror of the first half of this "e...

All the supernatural, fantasy insanity is slowly catching up to us, and I was NOT prepared for the craziness of this episode...and it's JUST the beginning, I feel. Welp. Hoo boy.

Martin is a very intriguing character and might just be the right "anchor" for someone as crazy as Eva....

This episode may be my favorite so far? It's so hard to pick because they're all so good and this story is SO interesting -- let's talk about it!

This episode was SO cool in how it plays with the concept of the "timeline" and what we THINK we know going on with the plot!
There are ghosts from Vash's past, reveals with characters we've met, and some hard-hitting themes of idealism vs. realism that are going to test the bonds between Vash and his companions this season! What an episode!
