At last, Amazon and Gorgos come face-to-face in a pretty solid episode. Though his struggle with communicating continues to be problematic, Amazon certainly displays his cunning, capturing an Akajusha with the intention of her escaping and leading him to Geddon’s base. It is here that the Beastmen are revealed to be modified humans like the previous organizations’, or at least Ant Beastman, who was a violent criminal apprehended by Amazon, certainly retaining a hatred for him. This plotpoint doesn’t really add a whole lot to the episode, though the opening scene of Amazon combating the criminal is very good. In honor of the new year, Masahiko vows to teach Amazon.
