We get to see the aftermath of the fight from the last episode and also a focus on Rikuo. To be fair, what happened on Rikuo side is quite predictable, especially since you suddenly gained an unknown ally. But I really like the outcome of it, as we see at the end of the episode, as Rikuo once again developed. I like how Rikuo developed with time, as he trains, we see other characters as time pass. This makes his journey felt more believeable in a sesne. And again, the animator really did something cool with the ability design, I really like the thick, black outline that looks like a brush stroke, making Rikuo look menacing.
