Everyone slowly makes up their choices in this epiosde, after Claus did from the previous one. We get to see Mullin and Sophia doing what their hearts was telling them to do. The subtle hesitation from Claus at Sophia's celebration made me internally groan a bit, but that can be ignored. What can't be ignored was that war declaration though, so beautiful but eerie at the same time, I love it. And Dio's reaction made me wonder what's going to happen after this.

The coronation scene gives a classic coronation feel from Asian cultures. The background music gave the scene the right tone. The rose petals scene was majestic but also eerie. It’s the first time I’ve seen Dio behave like that. The animation of Claus reflected in Mullin’s glass was funny. Haha. The story is now really keeping me hooked.

I can't believe it, I thought our main antagonist meant it as a veiled threat which it was, but to think they meant it literally. The villainess is shaping up to be a great character, She has presentation. With that said some might say Alex acted out of character, but he's a man possessed, with a chip on his shoulder. It was only a matter of time when his motives were made clear to his crew.
