Before we begin, though, we will be discussing spoilers for this episode, so if […]

Build vs Build continues this week as we learn more about the reasoning behind Katsuragi Shinobu’s decision to side with Evolt. Along the way, there is a lot of interpersonal drama, packed in between action pieces that show what Build’s basic forms could be capable of. According to Shinobu, the Build Driver was originally built […]

A series of kidnappings against chefs leads to Noel asking Touma for help luring out the […]
