Episode description

We've lost our porpoise. On this episode, we're realizing the places we feared as children aren't to be feared as an adult, admiring Krelian's headgear, going over Chu-Chu composition theories, confronting the horror of 1998 physics systems, falling into dank pools, jumping over wreckage, speculating tower origins, obliterating Ramsus' weak ass (again), riding through Traffic Jams, meeting a young anime girl with pilot goggles, recognizing a familiar large Gear, and experiencing two SOL-900 sequences. There is no escape, but it's only these Road Block guys. We're not on Facebook.
