I love the new OP. It’s fun, but it conveys really well that the party runs nonstop into troubles (getting “cooked”), while playing with the topic of the series.
Kabru for me is one of those characters that I love as a character - he plays a huge role for a side char, his antics are interesting to watch, and he fills a “character role” well, without being shallow. As a person though? I’d hate him, and I can’t help but agree with OP calling him “punchable”.
I should feel bad for this. (I don’t.)
