Then episode 9 packed in a ton of content, picking up right where we left off and going into 100% tenacity. After that, Mob gets picked up by Koyama and Sakurai, and meets up with the rest of the crew. They cut out Teru's fight, which was too bad, but they will have to cut out the more inconsequential fights in order to fit everything important in. They went through the Super 5 introductions as I expected, but they also included the Teru vs. Shimazaki fight. Great way to end the episode and set up.
Here are my revised predictions for the last three episodes. We're really getting down to the wire here, but there are still a few wildcards.
episode 10:
- Reigen and Dimple-Mob vs. Shibata, Dimple-Musashi (!!!)
- Mob wakes up — what did I miss?
- Shimazaki fight continued interspersed with:
- Mob yells at lackeys & Mogami’s return
- This episode could end when Mob decides to go into the tower, and maybe cut off right when he sees Serizawa. It could also include the Serizawa 100% friendship fight... Hard to say.
episode 11:
- (If it's not in episode 10) Mob vs. Serizawa, 100% friendship
- Shou vs. his dad: Reveal of charge-bomb thing. Pops isn’t human!
- Mob vs. Suzuki: lots of villain monologuing
- Reigen: This gun is loaded
- Serizawa saves Reigen
- 100% anger: we’re DONE talking
- Suzuki being a jerk to Serizawa
- Mob gets Suzuki away from everyone else so that he can actually fight him. Ends with everyone on the ground watching as shit gets REAL.
episode 12:
- Boss fight
- Aftermath, calm after storm, loose threads
- Broccoli
