lol why did Kage just hang out with Miranjo without even going 'hey who are you & what's your relation to everything that's going on"

He did ask at first but he got distracted by his role as Bojji's Speedwagon.

It's odd that Ouken seems to have fallen to madness very quickly after becoming immortal and was scared of losing who he was. Given that the king thought that immortality could be gained through his kids, I wonder if maybe he's also being possessed like Daida.

The first cour was good enough that I confidently voted it for AOTY last year but I'm gonna be honest, the second cour was poor bordering on being outright bad.

It was just constant low-stakes fights with no tension after the 3rd time a character was "grievously wounded" only to be saved at the last second and fully healed. Or just knocked out and then woken up an episode later. Or a fight is just interrupted before anyone can be hurt badly. There was also a lot of characters impeding the plot for contrived, dumb reasons or having melodramatic personal crises every episode to slow down the plot. Bojji in particular just kept getting delayed for like half the arc it felt like.

Meanwhile, the entire arc was extremely low tension and arbitrary as it was obvious the threat only existed for as long as it took for Bosse to get over his poo poo and save everyone.

It had some great character moments in between all of this and some good to excellent animation but in general it really lost me tbh.
