What Went Down in Episode 16: A Look Back
The stakes are higher as that One Shot, One Opportunity event reaches the last stage of the competition to gain passage onto the Archimedes airship! This episode highlights various critical team members which were not discussed beforehand and sets the stage for that new phase: It is mostly focused on teams—Shibisu, Khun, and Viole.
Viole expertly conceals his identity while cleverly using powers beyond others in his incredible display of prowess and sheer raw power (Verdi's Shinsu absorption tricks are useless!). Despite his amazing combat skills; various people face trouble: Yuto (a FUG teammate) nearly dies while defending Viole, creating that tension between saving and securing survival for various allies. However, he does pull several crucial alliances to safeguard others, including Shibisu via some incredibly tricky dealings, although other plotlines develop simultaneously: Verdi’s capture of Prince and Miseng; and eventually Laure’s joining is completed flawlessly and others within their team support them perfectly.
The encounter between Rak and Khun with Wangnan? Totally amazing! A welcome upcoming reunion which hints toward yet more encounters within that overarching, never completely finalized story that creates some critical and intriguing subplots!
Episode 17: The Archimedes Awaits!
Episode 17 brings that intense Workshop Battle onto the Archimedes! A big change from those usually dark locations in the Tower, this is going to really improve things greatly; greatly improved lighting; more detailed and improved animation quality; and that amazing swimming pool area. It makes this airship incredibly spacious; creating space for 249 contestants and making for some intense encounters and battles with more ease than had previously been available!
There are serious and deeply concerning implications too! It’s more than just a tournament; This event becomes yet another display of those key antagonistic figures whose goal involve profiting from these events, which further displays a critical point within the broader narrative: That not only the physical dangers but also the insidious political forces working within this event remain paramount in affecting what occurs in the events which play out throughout the remainder of this series!
