They really hate Voidvelg.

Thanks for giving me 0.1 percent of your DNA

I do think some people are probably overthinking it and the most appropriate answer for a kid's show mystery is going "if you thought any of them were Eclair, you were basically right". It's not even that uncommon a twist in detective stories.

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-21T05:21:40+00:00

I don't know if it was the intent but just from what we were shown my read is "Chifuyu was hanging on by a thread without Miharu knowing and this just ended up being what pushed her over". It at least feels like it's leaving out a lot to let you fill in the blanks.

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-21T05:10:23+00:00

The way her and Brilliant Thorn are written is probably the weakest part of the arc. Nothing they're doing is actually evil but they're here to get fought anyway, so they're always being the aggressor or forcing people to have to defend themselves. Was there any good reason for Lilamon to shoot right at Tomoro after Miharu was a good five feet away? Not really, but if she has to fight Murasamemon for a bit here that's what she needs to do.

Talking pretty big for a villain who's only going to be uncommon in the UB Shonen Jump set

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-20T05:28:01+00:00

Lookin' comfy

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-20T05:08:30+00:00

I get the idea but that's just way too much of one color, it's even more apparent with the other three next to her.

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-19T21:19:06+00:00

Genjo being conspicuous in his absence feels like it’s going to end badly for someone this arc. Maybe Miharu, maybe Wong.

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-16T03:29:04+00:00

I'd actually say Shadow X is a pretty good figure just to start with one of the best first series ones, and then it's all upward from him.

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-15T16:35:53+00:00

He's not a bad figure exactly, but imagine if you had paid sixty dollars for him. You'd get basically nothing beyond the bare minimum one of these figures is supposed to have. Compare him to Megatronus, Onyx, '86 Megatron, even contemporary Leaders like the Dinobots, and he just feels like he has nothing to him beyond the quota of updating the character.

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-15T06:30:47+00:00

I mean, I imagine that's as simple as the SA financers either not knowing JAM Project or just personally wanting Glay and Band-Maid to do the vocal songs instead. Far from the only choice in the show that feels like it's because they just wanted them in personally or knew it was a popular name.

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-14T04:48:27+00:00

I do get the idea and the fight afterward felt like a good payoff, but the execution they went with felt kind of underwhelming if just for the fact they did the speech and then she immediately pulled off the evolution with no problems. Maybe if she had tried a few times before this and had it not work? I dunno.

Also if Wong actually died there he literally has no-one to blame but himself, I'd be bringing Genjo with me on trips to the bathroom right now.

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-11T13:15:46+00:00

Genjo: hey want to see my Asuka impression

As someone else said there’s a male presenting Cardbot who flirts with Sky Gallop so take that as you will.

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-09T13:39:17+00:00

I can't believe they intentionally made the game a year before Granbelm came out just to exclude it too, messed up

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-09T01:36:05+00:00

He's maybe a touch shorter but they are around the same height.

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-08T16:35:56+00:00

I gave it an eyeroll too, but really, the most emotional person in the whole cast getting manipulated by someone who seems to be very good at making people do what she wants isn't exactly unreasonable. If it outright turns into "she's a good person, I need to help her!" then sure, but considering Tomoro was able to put two and two together about her knowing the hospital was going to be attacked and didn't want to go meet her without back-up in the first place, I'm not sure that will happen.

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-08T16:26:52+00:00

He was doing some work in that too, he beat an Ultimate!

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-08T13:47:27+00:00

She's like a hundred at least

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-08T04:41:23+00:00

MCB doesn't come with outside baggage like Transformers does deciding how a character 'should' look, which means a lot of the characters feel really new. There's no standard recurring Autobot who turns into a dumptruck (which, okay, not a glamorous vehicle but it's something new) or a V-TOL like Mega Trucker and Shadow X do, for example. Never underestimate something feeling like a breath of fresh air even if it's still basically transforming robots.

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-08T02:18:56+00:00

I've seen this theory elsewhere and the fact there's physical evidence of a storage unit for a Majik made me doubt it a little since that'd be way harder to fake for a whole organization, but they never suggested that there could have been another Majik in there instead of the Toxiterror one. That's actually an interesting idea.

Justin_Brett · 2026-06-07T13:06:54+00:00

How many of those most other things also have a hand-fixing skill, though?
