I feel more people should give this title another chance. Our main characters from the "good" surviving party, such as Tetsuo, Yukio, Ao and her flaming bird kaiju, Mishima Mall residents, do not fall under the overpowered category (or at least not yet revealed). The recent episodes left me with anticipation on how Tetsuo, Yukio and Ao will protect their home, but at the same time, also a sense of dread on whether majority of Mishima Mall will fall. Please give Tetsuo more allies! The current situation is strongly unfavorable. A couple more thoughts: 1) What are the criteria for a human and kaiju to form a partnership? 2) It would be funny if Lonely Iwaki suddenly makes an appearance to save the day.

He doesn't seem to be a particularly deep character but I like Sagami as a villain. He's a deeply pathetic man and I do think the show is well aware of this, with his whiny squeal that he did when Tetsuo and Yukio killed the kaiju in front of him. I appreciate that the show doesn't treat this grown man's obsessive one sided beef with a teenager as legitimate. It'll feel nice to see his stupid face get pounded into the dirt.

Back in good ol' A.D. 2025 the Colonel was just Sagami, a soldier in E-RDE who fought Kaiju and put his life on the line to protect people and kill Kaiju. He was what some might call a Savior for his skills and bravery...and he DEFINITELY let it get to his head. So imagine how frustrating it must have been for him when this kid and his giant robot show up and steal the show from him, steal the title of "Savior," start decreasing the output of the footsoldiers, and leaving him with nothing but the achievements he's already earned...and denying him the chance to earn more. Oh hey, hot science lady! Who is also in the OP, I believe. Sagami's resentment of Tetsuo got bad enough that when Yukio killstealed him, he TRIED TO SHOOT YUKIO. But he was out of ammo meaning he probably would have been killed by the Kaiju anyways. Try telling him that though. So he kickstarted VIERDE, because if he wasn't going to surpass Tetsuo as a Savior, he was going to train the next generation of Saviors to do so while he took the credit. And they would end up becoming his team of Kaiju Tamers who are utterly loyal and devoted to him. They even laugh at his dumb jokes! Bach! But if they thought Yukio was down for the count...they thought wrongly! Even with one sword arm and half his face blown up, Yukio can still fight! Even if neither Tetsuo nor Hagane can really make sense of why other humans would be acting like this. Too bad they're not just dealing with normal Kaiju, they're dealing with superpowered Kaiju with special abilities gained from bonding with humans and named after Greek Gods! They can even teleport! Meanwhile the only GOOD Kaiju Tamer...is swinging around in a chair and playing with fire like a little kid. How old is Ao again? As much as the Colonel wants to dogpile on Tetsuo and kill him...it would be a waste of resources. So he sends most of his forces to destroy Mishima Mall, while he has his own personal uber-Kaiju, Hercules, try to destroy Tetsuo/Yukio. Can they win this?
