[Uh… animators? You have to pull the pin out of the grenade if you want it to explode.](https://i.redd.it/6katom0h1bnd1.png) (Grenade: Explodes anyway)
Hikaru sure showed Cassado who’s boss. Of course, such abilities present many questions regarding what a person with such powers is doing hanging out in a place like this while alien empires run amok, but that’s just how it goes.
Everybody wants Duke Fleed. The Rubina/Duke Fleed/Tirona triangle is in the classic mold, but it’s acted well, and I’ll give the animators some credit back for giving Tironna expressive pouty lips, after some of the episode’s other artistic goofiness.
Mazinger’s back in action! Looks like it might be in time for this to be a one-cour show, though.
