Fire Force Season 2 Episode 22 Review


 ‘Plot of Extinction’ was a decent episode and it also had its good moments.

  • The Trap set by the White Clad

I don’t know what the White Clad had in mind with their plan of destruction, but it didn’t make much sense. Why were they trying to destroy Tokyo Empire? The reasons were not revealed and since the plan failed, they won’t be revealed for a while. The Pillars are an important resource for the White Clad and they are supposed to protect them. By blowing up the Empire they were risking the lives of two Pillars which is not sensible.

  • The Battle with Dr. Giovanni

Dr. Giovanni is a creepily Victorian styled character. First he had turned his body into a mechanical mess which was very interesting to see. But his madness has now driven to such a level where there are now insects accumulated in his body which are ready to go any time. He gives Shinra insight on the Adolla where he says only people who have seen Adolla can use Adolla Link. This is where we get a new mystery as Shinra realises Lieutenant Konro who had connected with him through the Adolla Link must have seen Adolla as well. They might reveal what had happened with the Lieutenant in the next episode.

Shinra using his super speed during the fight with Giovanni was cool. The way Giovanni was kicked from one place to another was really awesome to see. Arthur as usual does something that is not expected of him but in the end he is Arthur. He literally turned off his mind in the fight so that Giovanni couldn’t predict his moves. Underestimating Arthur is a huge mistake at this point. He can be very useful when needed.

  • Maki’s character development

The whole arc we see that Maki struggling as to whether she should remain in the army or go back to the fire force. Whether she should accept the decision made by her father or not. When the nether was going to explode and the force needed a 2nd Generation Fire user to resolve the situation, Maki enters the scene to take on her responsibilities as a member of the fire force. She had to prove herself to her father and brother, that she is a capable member and doesn’t need protecting. The character development that was done here could have been done better. It felt that it happened in a very quick way.

  • Conclusion

It will be interesting to see what fire force does in the upcoming final episodes. This wasn’t a bad episode. It had really good moments. I’m curious to see what Dr. Giovanni does next time. Shinra’s quest to become a hero continues. We got little more information about Adolla. The nether arc concludes with this episode. Maki’s comeback to the situation could have been better.

Jujutsu Kaisen Episode 9 Review

‘Young Fish and Reverse Punishment’ was a really nice episode where new characters make a fantastic appearances. Junpei Yoshino confronts Cursed Spirit Mahito Junpei was clearly disturbed by the environment he lives in. He’s fed up of being bullied and accused of passing lewd comments. So much so that even though he doesn’t want to kill the people he hates but is ready to press the button that kills the people who hate him. Skipping classes he goes to watch a movie, ‘Earthworm 3’, now that’s one movie title you don’t see every day. There he watches Mahito deform the heads of the bullies and kill them. Mahito doesn’t do anything to Junpei but walks away. Junpei confronts him saying what he did was not something a human could do and wants to know if there was a way for him to do the things he does. Mahito seemed a very interesting character from the opening theme. Now we get to see what his powers can do. He has a disturbingly strong power and he will prove to be a nasty villain ah...

The Day I Became a God Episode 8 Review

Image
 ‘The Day of Trip to the Beach’ was an episode of major revelations. Since last episode we got to know to there is something more to Hina’s story than is currently shown to us. Our Great Odin-sama has a Grandfather Hina has a dream about her grandfather, hinting her life before she became a god. The title of the series ‘The Day I Became a God’ might actually be meant for Hina all along. This was a brilliant way to use that as a title and confuse the audience for the first half of the series. Youta’s parents knew about the grandfather which was their mentor, and who Hina actually was. This explains why they were so quick to allow Hina to stay at their place. Youta decides to take Hina to her father who had got remarried. Even amongst all this, the writer keeps the comedy element of the series intact. Hina being in her cute and innocent yet arrogantly being in her character as a god is always pleasing to watch. All the characters in this series add their own way of comedy eleme...
