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.

This is genuinely so great Vilgax and Ben meet and the fight is so tense so choreographed edge of your seat action packed thrill ride loved every minute of this episode it flew by and seeing Grandpa Max reveal himself and his known Vilgax was exciting the whole mount rushmore thing the fight on the spaceship it was all absolute insanity and the type of thing that could only be done in a kids cartoon so for that reason it's an amazing finale sound mixing yet again some of the best I've ever heard the music the tension the art direction everything here was handled with such amazing care that I can't imagine anything here being changed or different.
