EPISODE REVIEWS
Props to the writer and director for this episode, because we finally get a glimpse at how Kanbe is in battle, especially when faced with such strong opponent. We also get introduced to Kyuzo, not much is known yet, but from that fight scene we can have some speculation on his relationship with MC's group. The fight scene was directed really well, with the choregoraphy that not only looks good, but also uses the elemets around the characters, which makes it believable, such little as tripping over pipe. A really great watch.
Another character well introduced, i like how the fight sequences are simple but you can feel the intensity of it.
The only thing that's keeping them to move forward is to protect, to challenge, and to avenge, without this they are all heartless mercenaries. The powerful must have 1 rule to keep them from being a murderer. It's amazing composure and relentless mental battles. Amazing, what a great ep, little to now words, just pure katana.
