VerifiedI really love that this anime has so much diversity! It's not something you'll see often. Representation is so important because it's a way for people to feel seen.

VerifiedThis episode was really good, mixing emotional and funny moments perfectly. It gave more insight into Rudo’s powers, showing how they work and their effect on him. This added depth to his character and made the episode engaging and meaningful overall.

VerifiedA bit lighter than some previous episodes. And also, thank god, I ain't regretting anything from the comment I made from ep. 6, lol. Anyway, this is a bit of a light-hearted episode, I kinda like the pacing of this and how it shows more traits of Rudo.
This episode was also funny and dropping a bit of lore, giving us more mystery and more intriguing characters to look forward to.

VerifiedIt's a breather episode. This episode focuses on Rudo, the training and understanding of his power. I think we will all be shocked at the ending.

Verifiednothing must happen in this episode. It's more on talking but still loving it.

VerifiedIn this episode, it explains more about Rudo's vital instrument and how it works, the concepts around it is pretty cool since it's not too OP. Everything in this episode was so funny and wholesome.

VerifiedRudo's feelings were in the right place. I like how the pacing of the story shows that even "getting better" at something isn't a linear path, but one that must go through regardless. It's impressive as well how fun the Cleaners could be, and the timing of the soundtracks was really fun!

Rudo's character development was shown in this episode by knowing the extent of his powers. This episode is a bit conversation/explanation heavy and not much action happened but the ending made me shocked by the antagonist's appearance. The cliffhanger is insane.

EPISODE CONTEXT
Positioned at the one-third mark of a 24-episode run, Episode 8 serves as a clear transitional bridge—decompressing after the intense confrontation in Episode 7 while laying essential groundwork for Rudo's understanding of his powers and the Cleaners' broader mission. It directly sets up the shift into new territory with Episode 9's exploration of the 'City of Graffiti,' making it a necessary connective tissue episode in the season's structure.
