Plot & Story

The season is straightforward but efficient. It knows what it wants to be and rarely drags.

Power escalation is the main draw, and the show commits to that lane without pretending otherwise.

Characters

Jinwoo works best when the direction gives him short reflective pauses between battles.

Animation & Visuals

Best episodes deliver slick impact frames and clean camera motion. A few episodes are clearly less polished.

Sound & Music

Action mix is satisfying, though subtler scenes can feel under-layered.

Final Verdict
