Like pawns in a chess game, one false move and the King takes over. That is exactly what the King has done ~ he took over the pawns because he is, without question, the mantle of fear & power. No one questions the King because his mantle of renowned fear and power shakes the very foundation of those beneath his crown, robe, & influence. He merely exists to serve as the center of the World ~ the epicenter of his domain ~ a God/Goddess amongst men & women who exist to serve him with open arms. As the title suggest in this chapter, I was, at first, questioning why the chapter was named ~ What the Hell? Well, to be more specific, the chapter details the pawns meeting their end (Hell) at the hands of their King (Yhwach) as he now is summoning his very influence to shake the foundation of the board (the 0 Division). The pawns merely are going "What the Hell?" during this whole epidemic. Yhwach (the King) can do whatever he wants to his pawns ~ foster his own power or revive his pawns to do his bidding over and over and over again. Meanwhile, Robert "The N" Accutrone explains to Liltotto & Giselle that they are mere pawns in Yhwach's hands & that their lives hold no meaning as they merely serve as vessels for power for their Lord's conquest. Robert, as light shined upon him, turned to bone; leaving the two ladies to just barely escape the blast. Elsewhere, we see Askin & Bazz-B getting affected by the light and becoming vessels (pawns) for their King's power. With Yhwach getting stronger by the minute and some of his pawns getting revived, it seems that the 0 Division has to step their game up. Overall, I dug this chapter because it questions allegiances and whether or not the Sternritter will accept their newfound discovery as being vessels for their King rather than henchmen. It doesn't appear that Liltotto will accept this and may/may not go against the King's wishes in order to save her own skin alongside Giselle & the zombified Bambietta. And I will openly admit, this is the first time we see the Sternritter feel "hopelessness." In this state, all they can do is panic and await their inevitable demise OR they can fight against this hopelessness and join the winning side in hopes to come to a truce with the Shinigami. I'll give this week's chapter a A ~ just astonishing to see the enemy fear for their own lives over their own King when in face of the enemy (Shinigami), they have the upper hand.
So what did you think of this week's chapter? Good? Bad? In the middle? Comment below and let me know. Look forward to WBCRs whenever chapter's available AND when I have the time to post it. Since it came out surprisingly on time AND I had the time, I posted the WBCR on time. Until then, you all stay classy now.
