EPISODE REVIEWS

VerifiedThis ep was dark as hell. The "invisible sword" fight was a massive flex of sound design. You can really hear the weight of the impacts. Yashiro is such a "scum" hero.
b4kasamaaaaa
VerifiedJogamine is such an interesting existence, you'll just keep wondering about how exactly she got her one-track-mindedness with justice, especially that intriguing hint Ishino mentioned in the last scene. The quick fight scene had smooth visuals too, didn't have to be flashy at all
hellozaworldo
VerifiedLooks like there's more to Jogamine's character. This episode creates that kind of curiosity and anticipation for what's to come with her story arc. Ishino is interesting too, especially that last unexpected scene. Can't wait to explore more on the other characters as well
uncultured_bovine
VerifiedThe energy of this episode feels lower compared to the last ones but it doesn't make it any less appealing. It's still packed with a great narrative, pacing is good too and we get to explore a bit deeper about the world-building and Jogamine's character too.

VerifiedI like how we’re seeing different events involving each of the girls, which are slowly creating this unusual bond with Yashiro (as their reluctant mentor, lol). Overall, it was a good episode that added more personality and depth to the characters.

VerifiedIshino being shady AF made him even more intriguing. He kind of reminds me of Venetim—a sly and cunning guy who always looks like he’s scheming something behind the scenes. And that ending part really left me wondering.

VerifiedJogamine being such a law-abiding teenager was amusing. Her boldness and honesty made the episode even more entertaining, especially since her dynamic with Yashiro is the complete opposite of his personality.

VerifiedThe shift to investigation-focused storytelling works. The ether drug hierarchy from E3 to the rumored E4 adds worldbuilding depth. Jogamine's mind-reading ability as an intelligence tool rather than combat skill is a smart tactical application of her power.

VerifiedYashiro and Jogamine going undercover together at a shady club is giving reluctant dad takes daughter to dangerous workplace energy. the way he's CLEARLY protective but pretending he's just doing his job?? sir your mentor feelings are SHOWING

VerifiedThis episode was okay, and did well in cementing character dynamics and where the plot will go from this point onwards. Yashiro's friend with glasses is as shady as ever.

VerifiedThis episode featured the dynamic between Aki and Yashiro! The tonnage of the whole episode was kept lighthearted between the two despite darker themes of the setting they were in. Aki really challenges Yashiro's way of doing things, and I feel this induces change the in him.

VerifiedLetgooo the underworld side of the story. The environment feels shady and dangerous, which adds a lot to the suspense. I liked the uneasy partnership dynamics too 🤝

VerifiedNot gonna lie, the tone in this episode felt intense. There’s a lot of pressure in the air and the story reminds you that nothing in this world is simple. It’s messy, tense, and kind of fascinating to watch because of the animation style
crybabytodoroki
VerifiedThis had a grittier energy compared to the last one. The world feels rough and unpredictable, and the characters have to deal with problems that escalate fassssst. Loved tha pacing on this one
thekindneighbor
Verifiedthe undercover club scene was such a different vibe from the usual fights and i loved it. this show really knows how to switch genres without it feeling forced.

Great display of Yashiro's abilities in the small section of combat scenes towards the end. I feel it shows how he is still compassionate despite being ruthless and a 'grim reaper' on the outside.

EPISODE CONTEXT
Coming off episode 3's establishment of Yashiro as a mentor figure to new recruits, episode 4 narrows the lens to his specific partnership with Jougamine, deepening a relationship that looks poised to become a central thread across the season. At just four episodes into a 24-episode run, this is still foundational work—building the trust dynamics and criminal world infrastructure that will likely pay off significantly in later arcs. Expect this pairing and the underworld connections introduced here to escalate as the series progresses toward its midseason.
