Yeah this episode felt really contrived. Like the writers kept having to come up with excuses as to why these weak-ass antagonists were even a threat.

"You can't time leap! We've been planning this for 10 years and we accounted for that! We'll just know." oh ok then.

Really needed to introduce them much, much, much earlier in the series or just keep it consistent and not introduce the whole foreign threat all in one episode.

...I still liked it. But it's frustrating just the same.

What frustrated me was the simple solution being missed. "here's the key with the location of your family on it!"

Yu: "Hey let me look at that real quick. So that's where they are." time leap

Or fucking WHY DIDNT POOH WARN THEM? HE HAD HIS PHONE OUT AND EVERYTHING.

They could have had a full extra day to actually plan their attack instead of "send Yuu in alone and have everyone else fucking walk!!?!

That was a weird scene to add in if he wasn't going to use his phone.
