This is only episode 30 and, providing that this series is as predictable as the last two, there's another 21 episodes in which they can defeat Nemesis?
The many mysteries of the anime nowadays
Does it also make sense to totally leave the identity of the main villain for the very end ? Most anime do not really do that.
I suppose you have a point there. I'm just thinking back to Metal Masters when we met the main villain right at the end of the series (Can't quite remember the number, 40 or so?)

Erm clearly you've forgotten that in the first series we saw the main villain in episode 13. When you compare series 3 to that it doesn't seem early at all. Also your math is off. This is episode 32 and they have 19 episodes to go.
My math is off? At least I know that 132 - 102 = 30...
Overall, I meant the Villain Arc. Metal Fusion didn't see much of it to start with until it became serious during Battle Bladers, Metal Masters started it straight after the finals of the World Championship (45ish?) and now we're starting it at 30? Either way, We'll just have to enjoy the episodes
