![]() ![]() Did we mention he's going uphill? Ercole can accuse him of cheating all he wants, but Luca rightfully earned such skills himself with all the work and practice he put into his training. Luca out-biking Ercole (a man well past 16 years) in the final leg of the Portorosso Cup! Luca's but a 13-year-old sea monster who's spent the better part of his life swimming, yet he out paces Encole like a professional.It's a dramatic scene, but it's done with style. It's epically chilling to see Alberto so dramatically go from boy to sea creature as his tail unfolds and he rises from the water in a crouched silhouetted form. Despite being an intense moment that marks Alberto's falling out with Luca and Giulia, there's something strangely cinematic about Alberto revealing his true form before Giulia.The tone of Luca's voice as he clarifies catfish being bottom feeders shows a bit of fear and lack of confidence on his part which makes the burn sting Ercole's ego even more powerful than if the insult was said by someone with more confidence.Not only does it hit Ercole where it hurts most, but calls him out on being afraid of competition, enough to return the kids' hard-earned money. When the bully writes off her usual insults of "Evil Emperor of Injustice" as tired and cliche, it's Luca who gives the perfect insult for Ercole, a catfish-a bottom feeder with "two sad little whiskers". When Ercole takes our heroes' entry fee for the Portorosso Cup on the principle of "paying the outsider fee", Giulia stands to him demanding he return it.Luca was legitimately scared of this land monster, but he still took the spear and used it against Ercole because they were hurting Alberto. What makes it cooler, it wasn't even a defiant act.Luca pointing a harpoon at Ercole and his cronies to let Alberto go after Ercole corners them alone on the street and punches Alberto while Ciccio and Guido hold him down.For example, unbeknownst to Massimo, he was fishing over a barren fish graveyard, but Alberto figured out there were more fish in another area. While fishing with Massimo to earn their entry fee for the Portorosso Cup, Luca and Alberto use their know-how of fish to coordinate where to catch more. ![]() Although it's not as well-manufactured as a real Vespa, it's still impressive what these boys can accomplish in a day. Luca and Alberto giving their custom-made Vespas a test drive.During the night, Alberto primarily uses stealth to make off with smaller items, while also spooking the fisherman into knocking other things he's interested in overboard that he goes to collect the following morning. ![]() Given how sea monsters are feared and Portorosso is a town infamous for hunting them, Alberto has guts to do this on a frequent enough basis to grow his collection over multiple years the way he has. What's more impressive is how he obtains said items, which in part is thieving it off of fishermen's boats who come out onto the water near his island at night.
