Junko is back with another odd job for Kanta. This episode reminded me a lot of Ep 4 but this time, Kanta has to deal with someone using a technology from the Dark Age. Taiko also gets a chance to show how much she's improved, and it's nice to see that she's come a long way. The episode even briefly introduces Kanta's master, showing that he actually had someone who taught him most of what he knows about fighting.

Guess who's back on screen? Feelings and new risk taken. Wonderful night dunes views. Remarkable suspense music with perfect orchestration and wild polirythms. Love and ambition may mix sometimes.

Episode Context

Sitting past the two-thirds mark of the 24-episode run, episode 17 shifts attention from Desert Punk and Kosuna's mercenary routine explored in 'A Load of...' to the always-volatile Junko dynamic, introducing a dangerous new adversary in the process. This pivot signals the series moving toward its later-season escalation of conflicts and relationship complexities. The groundwork laid here feeds directly into episode 18, 'Too Close for Comfort,' which pushes these evolving character tensions further.
