THIS WEEK: Sven and Van finish Cyborg 009: The Cyborg Soldier, as they break down the highs and the lows of Ishinomori's most formative work. In addition, we discuss Van Vogt's terrible fashion choices; love confessions have never come at a worse time; we contend with nuclear-armed demon-god eagle-robots; we talk idealism vs cynicism in relation to Cyborg's ending; Van loses their goddamn mind; and at the end of all things, trying to count on shooting stars is as fleeting as hoping God's War makes any sense.

TOPICS:* Cyborg 009: The Cyborg Soldier (2001) S2E20-E23* Nobody likes jealousy plots why do people keep doing them* Dub differences (the final act)* Cyborg Soldier's production and release woes* Cyborg 009's villains and their strengths* Joe's kindness holding him back* Public execution love confessions* The Demon God/Generalissimo* The death of Van Vogt* Joe's final mission* The true face of evil* Joe vs Skull, round 2* Lighting the powder keg* The nature of humanity & the summation of the Ishinomori hero* The would-be ending of Cyborg 009* "Angel", "Battle With The Gods", and "Conclusion: God's War"* Left Behind* Afterwords and postmortems* Narrative cynicism & reinforcing the antagonist's worldview

MUSIC:* “Fight! Seven Riders!! Showa Rider Taisen” – Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Megamax* Fayray - "I do"* Chiaki Ishikawa – “Taga Tame Ni”

NEXT WEEK: The end of Ambassador Hell.
