Woah, this episode is so good. Especially the last part when Joe goes berserk against Carlos, even Danpei is back in the screen again. This is glorious.

Joe just refuses to give up, I'm sure he will succeed sooner or later, let's see if Carlos helps with that.

Joe has some of the artistic vomit I've ever seen.

Oh my, so in this version Joe vomits in his fight against Carlos, too, in the original, the prequel, he doesn't.

Am I the only one who likes the old version of the story more? Carlos and Joe's realtionship just isn't as good as it was in it. Also, Robert is pretty unlikeable to me in this one.

I was thinking something similar, but I still prefer this one because the way they met in this episode feels more exciting. I hope they get into their relationship later on.

Robert really is sly with his underhanded tactics but his personality is still likeable. I'm not sure why lol

I actually prefer the original more too ,, Joe and Carlos first encounter seemed more elegant and genuine

their run-in at the troupe and fighting all the bodyguards , then Carlos inviting Joe personally to watch his fight

While I prefer the way the first season did the most of what it did, I kinda prefer the Carlos sparring match (Well, the half of it shown) from this episode over the original. Maybe if's the ridiculousness of Joe not being rid of the Rikiishi trauma, and him fighting despite puking every time he punches, or maybe it's that he actually confronted Carlos and Robert about their elbow nonsense, instead of being cued to watch for it, but either way this episode is my favorite of this "recap arc". I do hope when the time comes, this season reaches a point where it cleanly continues from the first.

Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.

Yeah so far I would say the way their relationship evolved in the first season has been better
Then again they have some episodes to go before they eventually meet in the ring so we'll see.
