Not really interested in how the kidnapping went down in detail, most of the conversation couldve been shown after during the confrontation. Not really emotionally affected by the Shaman's death, abit wasted, might be abit too early for this, don't think they really setup anything to make it emotional as well.

An episode without the main character in action is abit awful tbhk, especially as the start of the 2nd arc. This is the this 2 episodes has been a real slow down compared to the 1st half of the anime.
