VerifiedNot going to lie, I was entertained watching Bojji spar with Daida. The latter looked pretty frustrated. He was definitely trying to prove something, although I think he went too far. Daida needs to control himself better or he's going to hurt others including himself.

VerifiedThis episode shows Kage isn't just some hooligan and what actually is Kage, I really thought at first that he was cursed. Thankfully Kage didn't turn out to be a truly evil individual due to his past experience. What right do they have to decide which is a king's swordplay?!💢💢

VerifiedThis had me so emotional... It's always a jarring thing to see people get bullied and excluded for simply being different than the others. This anime barely started and it already got me hooked for life. Endearing and sad, great characters and the story is getting better.

VerifiedKage's past is so heartbreaking as he try to survive the harsh world alone. The soundtrack is a perfect fit for each scene, giving more impact and emotion to viewers. Bojji's crying scene is so heart-wrecking. Need to protect him at all costs.

The friendship that forms here is the heart of the entire show. Two kids who have nothing finding each other without any fanfare, just quietly, honestly. The show doesn't oversell it, and that's exactly why it works. You'll be protective of these two by the end of the episode.

The tone shifts slightly here, focusing more on perception versus truth. Bojji’s strength isn’t obvious, but the episode quietly builds it through contrast. It’s less flashy, more observational—and that works. 🧠

Episode 2 focuses on the growing bond between Bojji and Kage. After being betrayed and mocked by others, Bojji continues to meet Kage in secret. Despite Bojji’s inability to speak or hear, Kage slowly realizes how kind and strong-hearted he truly is.

VerifiedEPISODE CONTEXT
After the premiere established Bojji's world and the obstacles stacked against him, this episode deepens the narrative by fleshing out Kage and cementing the partnership that will drive much of the season forward. It's foundational character work early in a 23-episode run, prioritizing emotional investment before the kingdom's power struggles escalate. The next episode, 'The New King,' signals a shift toward political tension, making this a crucial calm-before-the-storm entry.
