Hakuryuu undoubtedly the MVP of this episode, my boy spitting straight facts even though he wasn't in the right state of mind himself. He's willing to say the things that Alibaba and the others are too kind to say because he knows how painful it is to live a lie your whole life.

A lot happens in this episode, but one thing I agree with is when Hakuryuu ends Madaura’s life. The rest is really sad, and it got me. I can see that both sides have valid points. It’s just that they’re now on different paths, and I hope they eventually find what makes them happy. I’d give this episode a 9/10.

Episode Context

Sitting at the tail end of the Pirates Arc, this episode directly follows the confrontation with Madaura in 'Mother' and processes its emotional fallout. It functions as a critical pivot point, resolving the internal conflicts stirred by that encounter while setting the stage for the cast to splinter onto their individual paths. The next episode, 'Ren Kouha Appears,' signals a major shift in direction, making this the last moment of collective reckoning before the season's scope expands dramatically.
