It was a thrilling ride though, so I'll be back for more! Did anyone else lose their mind seeing Geed in action? I've barely seen him before, but that was a real spectacle! Why hasn't Z told Haruki much about the Devil Splinters? But really what IS Juggler after? I find his nuance deep and growing. I like that a lot.
