EPISODE REVIEWS
The plot expands dramatically as Eiji is dragged into the political scheming of the Dazaifu Government, a group of powerful Order users. Character designs for the Ten Sovereign members are introduced, displaying highly eccentric, anime-trope-heavy villain gear. Visuals make great use of massive, high-tech command rooms filled with floating red screens and holographic tactical maps.Specific Moment: The visual reveal of the massive crater in the center of the city, serving as a bleak, constant reminder of the scale of Eiji's childhood mistake.
I wonder if Eiji did ever set some conditions when he took over as the king, because clearly the other FIngers are not solid to support him. 3rd episode seems really gives the image of how much of a threat and hated Orders are by the regular people, a nice touch on world-building exposure.
Episode 3 finally starts feeling more like a battle of abilities rather than a simple action show. The focus shifts toward strategy, with Order users attempting to outthink each other instead of relying entirely on raw power. Eiji spends much of the episode reacting to events around him, but the growing conflict between factions helps make the story more engaging. The highlight is seeing how different Orders operate under unique rules, creating situations where intelligence matters just as much as strength. While the series continues to move quickly through its plot points, this episode does a better job establishing tension and making the fights feel less random. Some of the dialogue remains melodramatic, but it fits the show's exaggerated tone. Overall, it is one of the more entertaining early episodes because it actually explores the strategic potential of the Order system.
