This is the pinnacle of Ben 10. All the previous episodes, references, and vague mentions have been building up to this. The program was running hot. Ben is at his highest peak yet. Vilgax is in his top form. This episode ticked all the boxes imaginable for a cartoon show, with it managing to encapsulate an actual feeling of an emotional rollercoaster without ever losing its steam for 20+ mins straight. The fight scenes were exquisite, the characterization was on-point, and everyone's doings had a logical motive behind them. Oh, and Vilgax looked like the baddest MF in the whole world. If someone asks you why you love Ben 10 so much, show them this. A Timeless Classic.
