EPISODE REVIEWS

This episode is kind of suffocating. The pacing is good and handles the shift perfectly. The psychological tone here is paired with some good animation, which led to some unsettling character development.

This episode marks a shift in atmosphere. The overall presentation is no longer as light or casual as in the previous episodes the direction is more controlled, the dialogue-heavy scenes are more deliberate, and the tension is more palpable even during moments without direct confrontation.

Seeing Kuga and Yukihira failing to accomplish what they want is such a bummer. But I can see why Rindo sees how they have similarities. We also get to see Tsukasa's cooking. Yukihira is now getting why Tsukasa has the first seat. What a tension he brings in that room. I'm glad Yukihira saved Nakiri in there. What an unexpected plot twist we have in this episode.
