Michelle is absolutely ruthless with her critiques. Telling Mason his time is valuable while staring at a giant worm is savage! Her bond with the Crimson Fox feels genuine though, especially when she calms it down before the fight. The way she dismisses Charles' arrogance shows she's the real powerhouse here. This show captures those high-stakes academy vibes perfectly.
Charles is the ultimate bully archetype, but his confidence in the Armor Rhino is kinda scary. Calling the Green Worm 'trash' and 'F rank' was low-key mean, but it sets up Mason for a major comeback. I love how the show uses these rivalries to build tension. The animation of the Rhino slamming into the ground gave me chills. Can't wait to see Mason prove him wrong in (Dubbed) Beast Tamer: Back to the Origin.
That moment when Michelle pets the Crimson Fox and tells it 'You've got this'? My heart melted! The fire effects on the fox are stunning, especially in contrast to the dark, rocky texture of the Rhino. It's not just about power; it's about the connection between tamer and beast. This scene alone makes me want to binge the whole series on netshort app immediately.
Everyone is laughing at the Green Worm, but I smell a plot twist! Why else would the camera focus on its shiny, happy face if it wasn't special? Mason's calm smile when Charles yells at him suggests he knows something we don't. Underestimating the underdog is a classic trope, and (Dubbed) Beast Tamer: Back to the Origin seems to be playing it straight. I'm rooting for the worm!
The lighting in this duel scene is incredible. The sunset backdrop makes the fire of the Crimson Fox and the glowing cracks on the Armor Rhino look cinematic. It adds a dramatic weight to what could have been a silly fight. The dust particles and the impact shakes are top-tier animation quality. Definitely a visual treat that keeps me glued to the screen.
