📍 ARC CONTEXT

Sitting at episode 448 of 694, this installment lands squarely in the show's deep middle stretch, where the episodic formula is fully established and the Hattori-Kemumaki rivalry functions as a dependable comedic engine. No serialized arc is in play — each episode stands alone, so there's nothing specific it follows up on or sets up. Fans can treat it as a self-contained comedic outing consistent with the show's overall tone.
