I am baffled.. truely baffled at how INSANE the quality of the fight and animation was in this episode!

I was pumped and had chills all over my body! The joy and privilege of watching something as good and monumental as this!

The episode was hyped up for quite some time, and it was worth everything! Coulours, style, directing, VA, soundtrack.. everything was incredible! I am almost afraid to say it.. but I got Tengen vs Gyaturo vibes watching this, do to the stunning animation, the tension and how crazy the last part of the fight was!

The animators better get a raise and some time off after this! They have earned it!

This was the peak of what time and dedication can offer!
