Oslak stops Zander from slitting Hrothgar’s throat. They have their soldiers drag them away to be locked up. But Hrothgar uses a special device he created that unleashes a painful, high-pitched deafening sound to anyone now vaccinated against it. This allows them to escape into the forest.

Episode Thoughts
Definitely penultimate week events in this episode. The most annoying sections of the episode were definitely the Eva ones. So absurd. A typical teleserye maniac villain. An insane murderer all because she can’t get the man she wants. No depth or nuance there. It will probably end up being the series’ weakest storyline.
And the way they were cutting in and out of the scenes to try and build up this frantic energy and dynamic to the episode just made those CBF scenes stand out even more. In a bad way, of course.
Meanwhile, the action scenes carried the episode. Very nice to see more on-ground, human battles rather than CGI.
Voltes V: Legacy Episode 82 is supposed to be available on GMA Network’s official YouTube channel:
But they want you to watch live on TV because their linear ratings have collapsed and it’s a bit embarrassing. They’re even lower than both their lead-in and lead-out programs last week. Yikes.
I’ve seen people talk about how people worldwide should subscribe to GMA Pinoy TV in order to watch the series. I’d recommend that if you are interested in watching lots of Filipino programming. But if you only want to watch Voltes V: Legacy, I don’t think it’d be a good investment. Especially since you can’t watch the series on demand anyway. GMA Pinoy TV is a linear, premium TV channel on most cable and satellite systems.
