And it's almost over. So far it hasn't been nearly as rushed as I initially feared but there's still plenty of problems...but we'll leave that for the finale.

Anyways, as for the episode itself: Man, Dynamax battles aren't impressing me so far. Re-watching Gridman at the same time is showing the disparity in how battles between giants can look.

Welp, there goes TRio. I was assuming they were here to at least release Eternatus or somthing, but I guess not and are just uselessly inserted in. As for the other villain, Rose...not a fan of how they're handling him so far but I'll hold my tongue until the end.

RAIHAN!!! Nice to see more Galar characters, though I must admit it might have been more impactful had it been Bea who helps out since we've gotten to know her and whatnot whereas I honestly had forgotten that Raihan was already in Journeys previously.
