The Super Cube [Season 1 Episode 4]

The Super Cube – Season 1 Episode 4: A Power Play of Love and Rivalry

If you’re into anime that blends sci-fi, romance, and a dash of high school drama, The Super Cube is definitely one to check out. Episode 4, titled “Love, Rivalry, and Cosmic Powers,” cranks up the tension as our protagonist, Wang Xiaoxiu, navigates his newfound abilities while dealing with the messy emotions of teenage life.

The Plot Thickens

After stumbling upon the mysterious “Superpower Cube” in the previous episodes, Wang Xiaoxiu is no longer just an ordinary high school student. In Episode 4, things get personal when Shen Yao, the school belle and Xiaoxiu’s longtime crush, confesses her feelings for him. Cue the dramatic gasps! But of course, nothing in anime is ever that simple. Enter Sun Jun, the delinquent with a chip on his shoulder and a crush on Shen Yao. Jealousy flares, fists (and possibly cosmic powers) fly, and Xiaoxiu has to use his wit—and his new abilities—to defuse the situation.

Fans have been buzzing about this episode, especially the dynamic between Xiaoxiu and Sun Jun. One MyAnimeList user pointed out, “The way Xiaoxiu handles Sun Jun without resorting to brute force shows how much he’s grown since getting the Cube. It’s not just about power—it’s about brains.” And honestly, that’s what makes this episode stand out. It’s not just a flashy power showcase; it’s about how Xiaoxiu learns to balance his abilities with his morals.

The Animation and Style

Produced by Big Firebird Culture, The Super Cube has a distinct visual flair that sets it apart from typical shounen anime. The fight scenes are fluid, and the Cube’s powers are animated with a sleek, almost futuristic glow that makes every use of it feel impactful. Some fans on MyAnimeList have compared the animation to “a mix of traditional donghua and modern anime aesthetics,” which is spot-on. The character designs are sharp, and the backgrounds—especially when the Cube’s powers are in play—are downright mesmerizing.

Fan Reactions: Love It or Hate It?

The discussions around Episode 4 have been mixed but mostly positive. While some fans are frustrated about the lack of an official English dub (“Why is it so hard to get a proper dub for this gem?”), others are just happy to have subs and are raving about the story. One Reddit user summed it up: “This episode was a perfect balance of action and emotional stakes. Shen Yao’s confession was unexpected, and Sun Jun’s reaction? Chef’s kiss.”

There’s also been some debate about whether the English dub (if it ever happens) will do the show justice. One MyAnimeList commenter joked, “If it’s AI-dubbed, I’d rather stick to subs. No offense to robots, but emotions are hard to fake.”

Final Thoughts

The Super Cube Episode 4 delivers exactly what fans want: high-stakes drama, clever power usage, and a love triangle that’s more explosive than a supernova. Whether you’re here for the sci-fi elements or the messy teenage emotions, this episode doesn’t disappoint.

So, if you haven’t already, grab some popcorn, turn on the subtitles (because let’s be real, the dub situation is still up in the air), and dive into this cosmic rollercoaster. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

Rating: 4.5/5 – A must-watch for sci-fi romance fans!
