As Episode 1 of 12, this is pure setup, no prior episodes to draw from, just a clean introduction to the central premise and core cast. It establishes the protagonist's reluctant involvement with the Kaiki-gumi and the foundational dynamic between him and Mechako, which will clearly drive the season forward. Everything that follows in the remaining eleven episodes builds directly on the groundwork laid here.
