What did fans think of SNOWBALL EARTH #12? Here's a look at the reactions.
Watching the Colonel's surprisingly tender side with the kids completely flips how I see his character, even if his methods are totally unhinged.

It's Snowball Earth time LMAO!!
Commenter
Stay a kid forever, dude!!!!
Commenter
Commercials totally ignoring the zero countdown now wwww
Commenter
All Tetsu wants to do is protect Tetsuo, that's it.
Commenter
Even if they're bad at communicating, Tetsuo and Yukio are literally pure heroes fr
Commenter
They actually dropped the title drop... just want a peaceful, gentle world man ( ; ; )
Commenter
Sagami's finally actually listening to people.
Commenter
Thought he wasn't taking it down cuz he said "just hang in there," but then he straight up stabs it with a spear lmao
Commenter
THIS is the real deal right here, Sagami!!
Commenter
Tetsuo... hoping for a gentle world where nobody gets hurt... telling the Colonel straight to his face is actually so huge 😭
Commenter
By saving others, he was saving himself.
Commenter
Total mama's boy energy, Sagami www
Commenter
Can Sagami even redeem himself after this 😥
Commenter
Everything would've been totally different if Tetsuo and Sagami had just talked face-to-face first.
Commenter
The Colonel saw Tetsuo as his savior too.
Commenter
Tetsuo wrapping even his sworn enemies in pure kindness. Where did that timid kid go? Talk about character growth...
Commenter
Wait????? What's gonna happen to Yuma???
Commenter
Sagami's looking up to him was definitely hero worship, but what he really felt deep down was just pure gratitude for saving him.
Commenter
If it's mind control, just shoot Tetsuo no questions asked. Do what you gotta do.
Commenter
If he actually feels bad about brainwashing the kids, maybe he can still turn things around.
Commenter
The Colonel's totally lost his will to fight now...
Commenter
Wait, Sagami's low-key already a savior tho
Commenter
Did Sagami actually just realize what he's been doing?
Commenter
Bro doesn't even look like he wants his brainwashing undone lol
Commenter
Bruh what, he's literally already saving them.
Commenter
At least he was actually a savior to the kids, ngl.
Commenter
Even if it was for selfish reasons... he still saved them.
Commenter
Savior to the kids even after going completely mad with power... wild.
Commenter
Is there even any way they become buddies after this? 😭
Commenter
Well I mean the guy almost destroyed the entire planet so redemption's probably out the window lol...
Commenter
Sagami was basically a savior to Yuma Uzuki and the others too.
Commenter
All those muscles weren't just for show after all!!!!
Commenter
Colonel... aren't you a savior too...
Commenter
Whatever the grand motive was, to the ones who got saved, he's just a savior.
Commenter
Fr though... to the kids at "E-RDE's Light", the Colonel is literally their messiah...
Commenter
Who cares if you can't save all of humanity, being even just one person's savior is still massive tbh...
Commenter
Super grateful for the anime-original scenes filling in the gaps...
Commenter
Is this actually the first anime-original episode we've gotten?
Commenter
You can still save people even if your motive is pure ego.
Commenter
He was actually doing it right tho... at the very beginning.
Commenter
Kinda late to be showing us a "good guy backstory" now ngl...
Commenter
Yo yo, he's literally being a dad right now...
Commenter
Fudo's dad?! (Wait, no)
Commenter
So THIS is where they met!! Hercules.
Commenter
It's like one of those "maybe it was the exact opposite" moments.
Commenter
Is this literally the setup for taming Hercules?!
Commenter
Ah, space monsters got frozen too? That absolute zero freeze was totally indiscriminate.
Commenter
The Colonel is actually surprisingly good at taking care of people no matter what.
Commenter
Hercules looked like THAT even back then...? What even is he?
Commenter
The fateful meeting between the Colonel and Hercules.
Commenter
Why was Hercules fighting his own kind...? Did someone else use to control him or what?
Commenter
Gotta be a mutant strain... this thing.
Commenter
Rocket headbutt boy! It's rocket headbutt boy!
Commenter
Colonel's bare-handing frozen doors and punching solid rock, take care of your hands man.
Commenter
Sugami is actually amazing tho ngl.
Commenter
You can really tell he genuinely cares about the kids.
Commenter
Fighting to make a gentle world... Is the Colonel finally opening up his heart...? Colonel... even when he was going dark side, he treated those kids like his own flesh and blood. No wonder these kids respect and follow him to the end.
Commenter
They got trapped by pure coincidence... and that's how they ended up eating monster meat...? 😳
Commenter
Everyone's turning white!! Their hair is—!
Commenter
Sagara, the world might hate your guts, but you're a total savior to those kids.
Commenter
It heals you? Just cuz they're kids?
Commenter
So THAT'S how they ate the monster meat~ and yeah, I guess some people can handle it and some can't...
Commenter
Sagami... absolute war criminal, but at least he's got a core underneath it all.
Commenter
Thought eating raw meat was fine cuz they were cryo-frozen... nope, food poisoning hits hard lmao.
Commenter
Were they the only kids who actually survived?
Commenter
Would've been way cooler if they sprinkled these flashbacks throughout the previous fights tbh... Or did they want us to genuinely hate him while he was the villain?
Commenter
The noise is finally back!!
Commenter
So THAT'S why it's Hercules...
Commenter
Were the kids with Sagami here the only ones who survived out of all of them...?
Commenter
Turned super white, talk about blindingly obvious lol
Commenter
Wonder how they went from this to the present day. Did they just get full of themselves, or was there some tragic betrayal that made them think "us against the world"?
Commenter
And that's how they got their powers...
Commenter
They could've used that power to protect everyone...
Commenter
Did they hold a memorial for the kids they couldn't save too...
Commenter
So there actually were kids they couldn't save...
Commenter
Wait, did everyone except those 6 die from eating the monster meat?!
Commenter
If they had just trusted this heart... this warmth...
Commenter
The Colonel's totally playing good dad right now lol.
Commenter
Eating monster meat lets you link with them and become a beast tamer? Wild.
