\n\nAfter finishing all of Xenosaga, Sibyl lays out for us every notable event in the series in chronological order and we discuss any lingering thoughts on the series. We also find out which character has the best drip.
\n\nFirst Xenoblade Chronicles 1 spoilers start at 28:15 and end at 32:36
\n\nSecond spoilers happen from 1:30:33 to 1:32:43
\n\nWhen you really think about it, this really was the Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra.
\n\nHave you heard the Good News? The best anime rival in the series is back for a climactic final showdown! No, it's not T-elos.
\n\nWe hope you like mech battles! Because that is what we are serving today.
\n\nNote that there are spoilers for the Trails series (skip to 59:17 when you hear the chime) and the end of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (1:13:35 for skip).
\n\nIt's high time we punish Daddy. The crew has their final confrontation with Dimitri Yuriev and ends the URTV subplot.
\n\nShion and team file DMCA takedowns on some Zohar emulators.
\n\nJunior and crew fight to take back the Durandal from Dr. Yuriev but if we're being completely honest it wasn't quite worth it.
\n\nThis week, Shion is given the choice of going back to her toxic immortal ex or staying with her robot daughter who might be killing her slowly. We also run a dungeon that is explicitedly designed to waste our time.
\n\nShion gets to relive her trauma again and learn a horrible truth about the cause of the Gnosis' arrival. Fun times for all! Also, a particular scientist loses their kneecaps.
\n\nWe return to the Old Church in past Miltia to testify against a Testament before he tests our strength.
\n\nYes, we are going back to Labyrinthos AGAIN but this time to rescue Shion. This is definitely the last time we go there in this series. Bet on it.
\n\nThis week it's daddy issues galore as the Elsa crew yet again dive into Labyrinthos.

\n\nThe crew breaks into Vector to garbage dive for KOS-MOS. If there are any casaulties on this podcast, the hosts knew what they signed up for.

\n\nOur intrepid crew race though Labyrinthos to the Zohar in this explosive episode. These podcasters wish they never opened a used book store.
\n\nThis week in Xenosaga Episode II we learn that no good Samaritan goes unpunished and we run a dungeon that is actually...good?!?
