It still feels like the premise is underdeveloped and has tons of potential.. but these short and sweet episodes can only do so much. This one was lighthearted and fun, and feels like the start of development for Hopeman.

I thought there was gonna be an action sequence when they pulled over; the fact that even he can be pulled over makes him feel so real

Episode Context

Sitting at the exact midpoint of the 24-episode run, Episode 12 picks up directly from Episode 11's bus departure for the Mount Fuji operation, extending that transit into its own contained comic installment. It functions as a tonal palate cleanser between the mission buildup and the harder push ahead, with Episode 13 shifting focus to Colonel Shadow's bid for new recognition as the Mount Fuji operation moves into its next phase.
