The review notes that the adaptation has covered 13 of the manga's 23 volumes, putting it roughly halfway through the story by chapter count. The reviewer takes the early renewal as a sign that the producers intend to finish the series, possibly with a fourth season to adapt the remaining material. The episode itself is described as a low-key finale that showcases the series' strengths: family bonding among the Cross-Eyes, a short but well-choreographed fight between Nikaido and Tetsujo, and the introduction of industrialized sex-change magic via Nikaido's and Asu's transformations. The reviewer praises the season's fight direction and animation, calling the action easy to follow and dynamically paced.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The season 3 greenlight came before season 2 aired, which suggests MAPPA planned a multi-season arc from the start rather than reacting to demand.","twitterPost":"Season 3 was greenlit before season 2 aired, meaning MAPPA committed to a multi-season arc from the start.","threadsPost":"The season 3 announcement arrived alongside the season 2 finale, not months later.
