You would assume that his "companion" would be introduced in this episode, right? Well, you'll have to watch the episode to find out. This episode really brings Kanta's character to the forefront, giving a much clearer picture of who he is. It also shows how one important resource can turn an otherwise ordinary village into something incredibly valuable to the point that it can even become the catalyst for a large-scale battle.

This chapter left a bittersweet flavour. It moved absolutely slow and managed expectation wrongly. It showed an unmeasured abuse of ecchi jokes/moments, that turned out to be anoying.

Episode Context

Sitting at the early fifth of a 24-episode run, 'The Price of Water' follows 'An Ace in the Sand,' which further cemented Desert Punk's notorious reputation across the Great Kanto Desert. This episode expands his world by placing him within a community dynamic rather than a solo job, developing how others perceive and react to him. It directly sets the stage for episode 6, 'Wandering Lust,' continuing the pattern of escalating encounters that build out both his character and the desert's power structures.
