Dragon Ball Z taught me early on that trying to make sense of the passage of time in anime is a futile task. They can say 5 minutes or half an hour all they want but it is often made far longer or shorter to match up with the story. |
Yes, but when they stretch it out (and time is always stretched, never shortened unless that's the joke) there are always tells, like multiple viewpoints for the same time period, multiple camera angles on the same action, flashbacks, etc. We didn't have that in that episode.
@Edjwald - yes I noticed that too. Hope it wasn't a translation error.

We have seen some out there Ether abilities such as the Minecraft digging one and the diving through walls one but Joe's explosive ability is something else. Not only does it not make any sense but it is overpowered as hell. An opponent can do nothing against a bomb he or she cannot even see while Joe can strike it from a distance to set things off.
Besides that the episode was a nice excuse to let the Braves go wild. That includes Ed who released himself from the hospital and Aki who is basically a cockroach. Oh right, Yukine lost a finger and the girls (besides Aki) showed improvement once again.

Not only is Salt Joe some kind of psychic detonator, he's also apparently bullet proof. That's a narsty combo fer sure.
At least two of the trainee braves have made tangible progress...I'm not sure if Aki has made progress or not based on all the comments from thugs wondering what Yashiro's been teaching her.
Has this show ever explained what the coffin count of storms power is and I forgot it? "Coffin Count of Storms" has got two pretty ominous sounding descriptors in the title there

Even more progress was shown regarding the trainee braves this week. Two of them showed their mettle and Yukine in particular was impressive, using her warp like that makes it very difficult to counter. As for Aki... I suppose the show will end with her staying true to herself I guess (for better or worse). No idea what the Coffin Count of Storms can do, but given the preview for next week she is showing up.

Yah, this arc has basically been the baptism of fire for Yashiro's junior brave brigade.
Yukino is basically capable of taking on most fully qualified braves by this point. Sara has come a long way in making her nerves work for her instead of against her. And Jogamine...um...
No, I still like Jogamine and whatever goofy Sailor Moon Wolverine thing she's got going on.
They made it sound like Ishino isn't merely dead but most sincerely dead this episode, but I'm still not convinced.
