Watching the outcome with the Choshu soldier was incredibly dividing and brutal on the Miburo's end. The reveal of identity with the traitor within their ranks was shocking, but it feels kinda led up towards. Everything happens at once.

The story behind Niimi and Serizawa humanized Serizawa a lot. Both seem to have respect for one another, but pride that distracts from their personal relationship. Serizawa is also very unpredictable in his temperament and behavior. Both factors take away from a meaningful bond.

Episode Context

Episode 7 lands precisely at the season's midpoint, arriving directly after Episode 6 ('Discord'), which suggests internal fractures among the Miburo have already been put on full display. This episode appears to answer that discord by centering the bond between two key figures, offering a counterweight before Episode 8 ('Near Yet Far') pulls them apart again. It's a structural pivot, the calm between two storms, and likely defines the emotional stakes the final seven episodes will spend testing.
