Well that is interesting, like sidfrid said the lore more than the fights. Gerald being the Soul King's heart is new, and it does make you wonder why they follow the son instead of the...former main body? And why others like his right hand still split off but were ultimately loyal to him still. Also interesting that Lille is both the newest elite sternritter and the leader, and that he and death dude were bestowed powers, but not the soul king body parts.
But yeah, the actual fighting part is sucking, Gerald is just in giant form and Ask-whatever obviously isn't dead since it took Oetsu more than 1 shot to kill him even.
