Definitely called it, Kage was with Bojji all along and Kage being cursed. Kudos to Daida, a good show of the royalty's pride and honor. Hokuro is indeed a bro, standing up to Doma for the Bojji's honor.

This episode is the biggest plot twist as far in this series, doesnt expect it turn like this, also can wait about the king that bojji and kage meet

basically the payoff episode for Bojji’s training. If you’ve been waiting for Bojji to finally show progress

The threads start pulling toward each other and the show handles the complexity without losing the emotional core. Characters you thought you understood reveal second layers.

Man, this episode is wild. The magic mirror, grim reaper scythe, and Netherworld all packaged into the episode. I'm also starting to like Daida more in this show. He may have an ego but he is also very tough and doesn't let anyone push him around.

This one hits hard emotionally without overdoing it. The character decisions feel raw, and the pacing gives just enough space for it to sink in. Easily one of the more memorable early episodes. 💔

Finally we see Daida's honorable side here and I liked that I didn't have to keep disliking him. Domas on the other hand....I despise him so far. Weak and spineless, an no loyalty on top of that. Daida redeems himself, but Domas spirals further. Gorey scenes and great lore.

A full light-gore episode signifying the darkness of this series. Kage is back to Bojji's side & even crowned him with a cute little hat. The plot turns darker this time, with some intense scenes that'll make you stay seated till the end. Daida has some potential as a good king.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Picking up after Bojji's departure from the kingdom in Episode 4's 'His First Journey,' this episode deepens the motivations driving both allies and antagonists, turning what felt like a straightforward coming-of-age quest into something far more politically layered. Sitting roughly a fifth into the 23-episode run, it functions as a critical pivot point where the show's ensemble cast locks into competing trajectories. The groundwork laid here feeds directly into Episode 6, 'The King of the Underworld,' where Bojji's path takes a darker and more consequential turn.
