Yet another episode that I used the episode title, anyways, Prince will not make his appearance, instead we have four guys who some chick being eaten by their fellow student and decides to ask help to some hippie who referred to them on some Level E course in some shabby clinic that is beside a strip club!
Even though this episode focuses more on the story about those four guys who are scared because they witness an alien eating their student, we still have the same opening sequence. Could this be that the Prince is trolling us again? Anyways, one thing that I noticed about this episode is that the drawings are a bit “dirty” some might say rough, but the roughness of art added depth to the dark storyline that we are having right now.
Since the four guys are some generic group of punks, I will skip them and go to the aliens in this episode, the Conwell race, a race of aliens that eats their women for them to bear a child and this episode focuses on the urges of one Conwell. About it, I love the issue of self-control!
If I would place it in the real world side of things, you might interpret it as “doing that deed" and that the man can’t resist doing it with the girl he likes because his body can’t take it anymore and wants to do it. In this case, he likes the girl but he doesn’t want to eat but he must because it is part of his nature as an alien.
This is one aspect of Togashi-sensei that I might say he is a genius. If you lay it down, here is how it goes. He likes the girl but still wants to see her everyday but wants to eat her because that is how they express their “love” with the girl but he want to see her but he must eat her to express his love for her. See what I mean? This sort of tragedy keeps me glued watching this episode.
Overall, the art, the darkness of the story and the good balance between comedy and drama in this episode makes this episode stand out from the rest of the other episodes and you can watch this episode even with no background knowledge about the first three episodes of the show.
Like what the previous episode noted about the Prince’s writing skills, yep, it turned out that this is one of Prince’s schemes, I mean, projects for the sake of humans understanding the aliens surrounding them…, which surprised me in the end and caused me to pull the same expression I had back at the climax of the previous episode! And since this story never worked for a video game company named, Zega since it is too dark, the Prince’s next plan is to create five kids who have strong sense of justice and will wear colorful costumes!
Yup, the next episode is yet another Super Sentai parody! Seriously, what’s with Japan and the amount of tokusatsu references these days?! Just earlier, I made a Bakuman review and mentioned about Niizuma doing Rider 1’s henshin pose, now this?! This is indeed, the year of Kamen Rider and Super Sentai!
