Reception

The third season premiere garnered mixed reviews from critics, describing it as a dialogue-heavy recap of the story thus far.[14] Subsequent episodes have received significant backlash from audiences for what has been described as low-quality animation. The intense criticism has caused the season's director, Shinpei Nagai, to deactivate his social media accounts over online harassment.[15] On IMDb, the sixth episode of the season, "Motley Heroes", received the lowest user episode score for any anime in the site's history,[16][17][18] sitting at a 1.4 rating scored by over 22,000 users as of December 2025.[19]
