Shank X

So this episode is a kiva centric one. With the villain having a thing for red head so does not immediately try to destroy them. And it had and interesting anime reference that I never heard of.

00:00Pfft, look at that. Just gives up. I could have taken this whole place on with one arm

00:05tied behind my back.

00:07You serious?

00:09Welcome back everyone. Today we'll be getting a Kiva-centric episode with some anime references.

00:15I don't want to waste any of your time, so let's get into it. We start off with Koop

00:20fighting some kind of alien dragons with him getting in a bit of a pickle because he wasn't

00:25maintaining Magus. But both luckily and unluckily, they get saved by what seems to be space pirates.

00:34Once they are captured, the pirates get ready to fire on them until the captain sees Kiva

00:39and tells them to stand down. He then introduces himself as Jean-Michel Warlock, and I'll just

00:46be calling him Warlock. He obviously has taken a fancy to Kiva, so tells his crew to direct

00:53Koop and Jamie to somewhere to help them fix Magus, while him and Kiva go to the storage

00:59area to find other items that could fix Magus, and maybe even a time drive to help Kiva get

01:05back to her own time.

01:07Of course, Koop gets distracted by the smell of food and finds the cafeteria of the ship,

01:14where you can basically ask for any food you want. So Koop orders a Philly cheese steak

01:19wrapped in bacon and deep-fried, which just seems like a heart attack waiting to happen,

01:26but I will say I would not pass it up if I had the chance. Warlock keeps putting the moves on Kiva,

01:33asking her how she can be around those fools, but she says that you get used to them, with him then asking

01:41her to stay with him on the ship. But she rejects him, saying that she needs to stay with Koop and Jamie,

01:48since they are helping her protect the Earth from the Glorft. Seeing that he's getting nowhere,

01:54he drops the facade, capturing Koop and Jamie and attacking Kiva. During their fight, they go through

02:01a room with all of his previous redhead partners, and I think one of them was a guy. It's cool that they

02:07slip that in. Kiva does beat him, but he does not honor their fight. So seeing that there is no way

02:13out of the situation, Kiva gives up and asks him to at least release her friends. With Jamie being Jamie,

02:22as usual. Look at that. Just gives up. I could have taken this whole place on with one arm tied behind

02:29my back. You serious? He releases them with the still non-functional Magus, having them hurtled

02:37towards the alien planet again. But luckily, Koop had a few cheese steaks from before in his pocket,

02:43so squeezes out the oil from them and gets Magus back to working conditions. Kiva then betrays Warlock,

02:51since he went back on his part, with the crew chasing her throughout the ship. As Koop crashes through the

02:58ship to get Kiva, and the pirate crew mobilizes in their own mechs. Warlock tries one more time to

03:05win her over, but she actually gets the rant that Koop usually does, and it's pretty good.

03:11Alright you! Arrogant, overblown thief! You tried to break up our team. You almost killed Koop and Jamie,

03:19and you made me listen to your endless cheesy pickup lines! Nice! Cheesy!

03:24Koop begins to beat back all of their mechs, until the main ship starts to fire on them. He tries to

03:30find a way to fight back, but presses the horn, which alerts all of the alien dragons. So with some

03:37quick thinking, he rips out the horn from Magus and throws it at the ship, causing the aliens to attack

03:43it, and winning the day. Ending with them back on Earth, and Goat trying to be the same as Warlock,

03:49which got a smirk out of me. You are looking very enchanting this evening.

03:56Goat, are you okay? Much better now, my dear. With the ending credits being Goat, Warlock,

04:03and Koop crying together. With Goat and Warlock crying at the picture of Kiva, and Koop crying at

04:10a picture of a cheese steak. So the only new character was Warlock, played by Neil Dixon,

04:15who I haven't really seen in anything, and seems to voice act pretty rarely. Warlock himself was a

04:23classic suave pirate captain trying to woo the ladies. Which of course Kiva was not falling for,

04:29so he showed his true colors and tried to force her to stay with him. Showing us he had not even a

04:36shred of honor in him, going back on his word twice. With him being a parody of an old anime called

04:43Space Pirate Captain Harlock, even giving him a cut under his eye, just like the original character does.

04:50I'm sure if the series went on we would have seen more from him, but this was a good one and done

04:56character. Then of course Kiva was the highlight of the episode. Showing us again how capable she

05:02is in combat, and that she is loyal to the crew. Still having the motivation to protect Earth and

05:09get back to her own time. Koop was having fun this episode with all the food he was able to eat,

05:14with the crew thinking he wasn't even human with how much he was packing away. And Jamie was just still

05:22being Jamie. Vampire cheerleader. Uh, regular cheerleader? Yo, uh, this thing's busted?

05:36Overall, this was a good Kiva-centric episode and I would like to know what you guys thought about it.

05:42If any of you haven't, please like the video and subscribe to stay up to date when I upload again.

05:47And if you want, go check out my playlist for the series where I have all of the episodes I have

05:53done so far. With all this out of the way, I guess I will see you guys later. Bye guys!
