More fan service this episode but in the baths. They really took advantage of the skinship lol...

Too bad their fun time had to be cut short yet again. Really, they can't go one episode in this show without trouble. Lol, that cliffhanger.

A company trip, which means it's time for some onsen fanservice. Poor Wolf, lol.

Fafnir nicely one shot that giant robot.

A cliffhanger, as I expected. One more episode to go.

Well first off, they decided to add sound effects to the opening sequence, which was nice in my opinion, but they could have done a better job with the mixing since it kinda overpowered the OP. The same goes for the appearance of character names throughout the episode.

Today's episode is a company trip, so we can all assume what can happen here. But seriously though, there are so many one-off characters & VAs throughout the series that it would probably make sense to not list all of them. I think at this point that I'm forgetting that they're all villains (except the points where there's action) yet still care for the well-being of their employees of their respective companies, much like Jujutsu Kaisen I daresay.

I also kinda feel bad for Wolf-kun (especially with Skylla-sama and that "steamy" scene) and Salamander this episode, but I guess it's for comedic relief.

SFX in the OP
Tentai Senshi Sunred cameo at 7:05 and 20:25!
Executives at the evil corp lecture a gang of Assassin Rangers how to properly organize themselves.
I think Eldridge and Arachne were playing Splatoon.
18:52 After teasing us with Kenshin Blader's robot we finally got a Kaiju vs Giant Robot fight in the form of executive Fafnir easily winning against a second-hand robot!
Outside of work a person even lower than the bottom of the corporate food chain, gig worker Mizuki, bonds with the boss of Agastia, the insanely powerful Lady Akashic. As a result, she and her senpai are made executives. Not by merit but by friendship? I wonder how Miss Kuroitsu who's been pining for an executive position feel about the blatant nepotism.

So this is what it feels like when a relative or friend employs you, but you don't know anything about new work.

I like it when the OP gets the added SFX effect, but this is kinda a bad job at sound mixing to overpower the song.

Ooh, Agastia's employee retreat that's more of a glorified executive meeting, and though Kuroitsu is standard, having Wolf Bete in this just made her more of a servant than anything. Skylla is quite the yandere to demand for Wolfie girl, and Salamander can be mistaken for a cuddling squishy toy.

And on holiday, there's always fanservice, but the executives being interrupted by lowly heroes sure is a recipe for disaster. And even with a second-hand robot, that is easily handled by big ol' Fafnir.

How can Akashic be left behind, that's left to be answered. But for Karen and Heiki to be the new executives of Agastia, WHAT THE HELL. That was a promotion more than anything.

It reminded me of Sunred in some ways all along, so it was nice to see Florsheim Kawasaki Branch appear.

Lol, always assumed Mizuki would end up employed by Agastia at some point (even after that near-miss tease with Megistus), but never expected this 😆

Learning more about the Agastia Executives via Employee Retreat was interesting lol, they all have goofy and unique quirks, I especially like Lady Arachne and her laugh, Skylla and Wolfie were pretty great as well, too bad their hot bath time was interrupted by those samurai heroes who seemed more like villains than heroes lol, but we got to see the executives in action thanks to them. And now the henchmen girls have become Agastia Executives thanks to Mizuki’s encounter with the great leader, interesting development there lol.

And with 1 more week left of this show thanks to the delay earlier in the season, I’ll say it’s been a fun one, pretty unique show with hilarious bits, I also like the colorful cast of characters, but of course Kuroitsu is my favorite lol. This will be my last show from Winter 2022 to end, and by this time next week I’ll have my spring shows picked. It’s been a great one imo.

I want a Salamander plushy, LOL

___ ___ ___

Wolfie... take it like a man woman and let Skylla play with you.

Also, those sure are some sticky bubbles... they stay in place even after flying around.

(and then Wolfie gets a starker...)

___ ___ ___

Also, bad planning from the Ninja Rangers... did they really think they can go head-on against multiple BOSSES all at the same time?

Then the Ninja Rangers being portrayed as the villains decides to run wild with their robot, who then instantly gets beamed by Fafnir. LOL


Also, looks like Wolfie got a massive rival, Kuro seems to be enticed by Eldridge-sama. (but he's got bugs...)

___ ___ ___

Mizuki gone from bottom of the work force to the top of work force simply by being nice... LOL

T-T I'm so happy for Mizuki, I was always cheering for her, her nice nature finally paid off.

We got to see the special opening with sound effects on Jojo style, the one complain I always have about it is that when the title shows up there should be some explosions or smoke behind the characters.

Heh, I speculated a while ago whether Mizuki would end up powerful by the end. Wasn't expecting her to rise through connections, though. Poor Kuroitsu trying to make executive the hard way. Some fun references this episode. Sunred was pointed out, but also Arachne was definitely playing Splatoon.

I've heard people mention the executives' mouths not matching their dialogue in regards to this episode's animation quality.

Since it's a parody of Tokusatsu, I think the idea was that the non-human characters are like actors in costumes.

Canon has been doing this throughout the series. Only Hydra's human head has a properly moving mouth when speaking but not her sisters' heads.

Not sponsored by Splatoon.

Not bad, nice to see more of the series' original hero teams aside from Blader and the Magical Girls, but I think I spotted a few weird model issues in the episode. Strangely proportioned faces here and there, but that's hardly that much of an issue.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

The heroes are the real villain here in this story. Always hunting monsters and attacking them when the monsters themselves haven't done anything evil or bad things yet. Especially, the assassination heroes who simply just sneeked inside the girls bath... how indecent... and pety.

The first ones that did that was the magical girls but now, even heroes are stooping so low...
What happened to the heroes? They're more like villains in here. lol

Yup, poor Kuroitsu-san. She wants to be an executive so badly but to think the other two side characters became one just like that... lol...

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Kuroitsu must be malding when hearing Mizuki and her senpai became executives with no effort.
Makes you wonder who the true evil people are, the Agastia executives on a trip or the random rangers ambushing them.

Lmao, what is it with Ōgi Jiyu or Jimmy’s (probably Jiyu) obsession with adding sound effects to the openings? Also that Astro Fighter Sunred Easter egg was nice to see. Astro Fighter Sunred btw for context was produced by AIC’s AIC ASTA division and Jiyu also served as the anime’s animation producer as well. (Quad seems to be a brand of JFK, which was founded by ex-Production IMS employees, and which in itself was founded by ex-AIC employees). Maybe reminiscing about their good ol’ days at AIC? Lol.

Though NAMU PLUS really dropped the ball on this episode.

Employee retreat with some new Characters, like the Salamander.
Mizuki in the epilogue, maybe she will climb the ladder one day.

Megistus needed to be there at the retreat to stop the sexual and power harassment lol. Lady Skylla and Lord Uncle need to speak to HR haha.

I really like how Kuroitsu kept cuddling salamander lol. He really is quite cute and squishy! Also, digging these assassin rangers. These hero types always have such cool armor/outfits lol.

Edit: I love that the goon girl became an executive because she was nice enough to hang out with the leader lol. Agastia really is run by a kid huh? Haha.
