There's a somewhat significant time skip after the events of the previous episode. If you remember the brief appearance of Kanta's master and his son back in Ep 17, this episode introduces his son who is essentially Kanta's fellow disciple. Considering what happened in the previous episode, this one is surprisingly lighthearted. The job Taiko takes on is also similar to the one from the first episode, but the way it concluded is something surprising.

A bit harsh without Kanta's presence, but an amazing display of emotion, action and new horizons. Taiko takes the lead and show of her potential and present abilities. Mitsuru is a great character and his evolution in this episode is fantastic.

Episode Context

Landing at episode 21 of 24, this follows the pivotal 'A Raw Deal' which left Desert Punk's fate hanging in uncertainty, forcing the series to restructure around Kosuna as its central figure. This episode is a critical bridge in the final stretch, establishing Kosuna's new leadership role and her relationship with apprentice Mitz before the narrative escalates into 'Hidden Agendas,' where the political and personal stakes tighten heading into the finale.
