This episode marks the point where the anime diverges from the original source which is the manga. From here until the finale, the story follows an anime-original direction. Several new characters are introduced, and the episode also provides a brief explanation from a member of the Fleet of Fog about why they have taken on human-like forms. As expected, there's also the all too familiar trope of an idiot official making life difficult for the MC's group instead of acknowledging everything they've accomplished. Fortunately, the episode ends by setting up another major confrontation, promising an even more exciting battle than the one in the previous episode.
