Review:
They've figured out what Amagi is doing and what his plan is, and
then the fight basically comes to them. Jiro and Rago take the reins
here, and everyone else is backup to help them get to the main fight.
It feels like maybe this series was cut short, because there was a
lot of potential with these other characters, who could be considered
main characters and plot lines were started for, and yet we didn't
quite get enough. I really wanted to know more about them, honestly,
and for the relationship to reach something more real. But there
wasn't enough time to go further with them, I don't think.
And I don't mean that this was rushed, either, or that the characters
weren't fleshed out. It feels more like they were fleshed out and
then weren't given anywhere to go.
This volumes wraps things up relatively well, though. The big fight
happens, and the team is made up, for the most part, and clearly
needed. I will say that when Rago and Jiro form together, they look a
lot like Venom.
This was a fun, short shonen series. I think there was more potential
here than was given the space for, because I really wanted to know
more about the side characters, in particular. But sometimes it can
be nice to have a short ending to a shonen series, which are known to
never end.
