English Dub Review: Saiyuuki Reload: Zeroin “The One That Came Back”

Overview:

Goku comes across a starving demon with a flair for the dramatic.

Our Take:

I literally don’t have words for what happened in this episode. Was it a recap? Were we under some sort of meta-joke by the bad guy in this episode? I don’t know and if you do please tell me. The sad part is that it was one of the more enjoyable episodes of this show. I still felt lost but I feel like I was supposed to feel lost. Which made me feel a bit better about it.

The jokes in this episode really landed but I still have to question what is up with the demons? I was under the impression that they’re supposed to be bad but Goke and the rest of the gang sure seem to enjoy hanging out with them whenever they can. Luckily, this demon was hilarious with his almost chunibyo like delusions. Only he can actually banish people to the shadow realm more or less. The last half of the episode was a movie trailer that all of the characters were in. I don’t understand why they did that but hey more power to them. Maybe we’ll get some clarity next week.
