Man, the X Laws really are something together. They're almost like a little family and Lyserg is lucky to be part of them.

Felt like this was an emotional episode for him. The battles on the field should get more intense next episode.

X Laws knew it from the beginning, they knew sacrifices will be necessary when fighting Hao. To them it is a martyr death. All just to pave the road for those who are left ... But is it enough to defeat Hao ? Find out next week in Dragon Ball Z!


Also X Laws always were super cheesy, but that's why i like them. They have their ways, but they are cool.

Yoh secretly meeting Lyserg, and thankfully he's OK. But to come near the X-Laws private Cargo Ship X, it's a dangerous lonewolf effort.

The X-Laws are no joke when they say they're martyrs on this course to defeat Hao, by hook or by crook. The Iron Maiden Jeanne vouching for Yoh's goodwill and a temptation of joining their ranks, but of course he rejects them for the big picture.

Meh, Team Hana vs. T-Productions is a quick-and-easy battle. But where lies importance is Team Hoshi with Hao at the center vs. X-III under Venstar's leadership, and it's just a one-sided battle to uncover what Hao has been hiding under the shell of his Over Soul. Marco is kinda like that bad parent figure while the other X-Laws members console Lyserg of being the X-Laws's beacon to carry on their justice.

Venstar using the Hand Grenade X as the last effort to contain Hao's Over Soul, that's self-destruction over sacrifice. But it's proving difficult to defeat Hao now, this anger is burning deep within Yoh.

Man I love the X-Laws so much. They know they have no chance of winning against Hao so they're just sacrificing themselves to gather information for Jeanne to potentially defeat him later. Pretty much the most logical way of accomplishing their main goal when you don't have shounen powerups and plot armor because you're the protagonist. Gotta respect that.

Gotta respect X-Laws' commitment. The things you have to do when you are not the shounen protagonist...

Man. The X-Laws knew that they would not be able to win. So they do what needs to be done in order to find the information needed to defeat him. Unfortunately even a suicidal bombing did not even bring him down. Yoh is super angry. But that kind of emotion will get him into trouble. Man. I wonder what kind of hell or training Hao did in order to be so strong along with his goals of killing all humanity along with not even doubting himself. Dang man. What a monster.

Marco's an asshole, but I respect X-Laws as a whole, they're kinda extreme in their methods, but I respect the commitment. Rip Meene though, I don't know much about you, but you were cute, so rip. It's pretty funny how Jeanne is just chilling under the ocean though lmao.

Hao is badass as fuck though, especially at the end with that banger soundtrack. Looking forward to the next episode.

Another one-sided fight with still frames during the action. At least this episode only adapted 4 chapters this time.

Wow X Laws members are Insane, they just sacrificed themselves for their greater good.

Still they used more of still Image in the fight as always.
Where is the Sakuga?
Literally Tournament Arc Anime and that's what we lacking about.
I mean what's the point of Remake if they can't improved the Animation.

Another Mediocre Week.

This was just pissing on the viewers!! (Literally, someone on the studio just did go to the roof and started to urinate on all the persons below him!)

We had an awesome ep (story related) and look how they treated it... 1st part talking... actually seems good...
Then the fight starts... and ends! As quick as that! No animation whatsoever. BUT THEN, another fight starts, and this one, THIS ONE is for real! HAO WILL SHOW HIS POWER!!!! MWUHAHAHHAHA!!! By don't show his spirit fighting at all!! MWUHAH... (wait what?)
Yep! A fight without fighting scenes! Yeh, we have dead people, we have explanations, we have explosions, WE EVEN HAD THOSE 30 or soo seconds to really (not really) know those 2 poor... maybe 3... I don't know! Guys! And their reasons to do... (why did they do that?) Anyway, they did indeed die for a cause! (even if you didn't know how they died or their motivations) BUT Hao prevails in the end! From a mortal cataclysmic explosion, that would kill everyone around that even the guy was concerned that would do some damage to the MOST POWERFUL asset that they have!! Well except for the referee, that guy is THAT powerful to be pretty much in the center of the explosion and didn't even take a scratch (it's a shaman tournament to crown a shaman king, they need powerful referees!). But that's how powerful Hao is, as much as a referee!!
And of course, we have the end of the ep, where Yoh realizes that Hao is indeed a bad (referee-)powerful something like person and it shows Hao safe and sound, with an evil expression and (I don't know if it was the same in the version of the ep you guys saw, but in mine) the music just stops in the middle and the ep ends!!

This was an awful job from the studio!! They rushed what was not to be rushed, they dragged unimportant parts (knowing that they weren't adding anything of importance and were wasting scarce time) to the point of not even do a decent ep ending!! This studio should be fired!! This is turning to a poor and pitiful adaptation only because of them!!! SHAME!!!!

For the ones that like to bother others (like me) with "you should read the manga/LN", please stop. I don't read mangas, I will NOT read mangas, I will not listen to what manga readers complain in adaptation to the anime counterpart, I only watch anime except in very few and specific situations.

"What justice needs the most"

The episode has a title drop when Bunstar tells Lyserg that his kindness is what their justice needs the most

X Laws are zealots fully dedicated to their cause. If they have to die to learn more about Hao's oversoul, they'll do it.

Their new member Lyserg struggles to keep his composure as X-III were nice to him when he was beaten for disobeying orders by meeting Yoh.

What and intense episode. or maybe insane? x-laws sure as stupid. yea yeah they have their "values" and all, but this is just stupid to kill their members like this.
of course hao wouldn't die at that attack, why else the villain of the series would die so fast in episode 24? i wonder though if they explain this.
i love that final scene though, hao is insanely awesome. much better than how he's presented in the 2001 version.
yoh getting angry was interesting.

the OST was good here, though the animation is still seriously lacking.
next episode though gonna be interesting.

Poor execution made it seem obvious how the end result will be.
