MAPPA have had a lot of uncertainty in the quality and choices made in regards to the adaptation of Hell's Paradise, and while I've never had any complaints, I believe this episode lays these complaints entirely to rest.
This episode was great. A very interesting combination of action, new understanding of the plot and systems the show operates on, and a decent amount of flashbacks created a well rounded and wholly entertaining episode which really did not feel 20 minutes long. The content didn't feel rushed but didn't feel slow, it was all just at the right pace, and the fighting was very entertaining.
I feel like this show is really setting alight right now. This climax has been entertaining, and I'm really appreciative of the plot and the quality of source material - no doubt I will be referring to the manga at the end of this season. I really like how there can be a spectrum of characters and each has some interesting qualities, and I felt like the villain in this episode was very menacing.
Overall a 9.1/10.
