This is where the show's second arc really kicks off. The timeskip allows Tetsuya to have grown off-screen, but the reappearance of Innami the first gambler he ever faced is a brilliant way to show how far he's come. The fact that Innami is almost unrecognizable adds a layer of tragedy: the underworld changes people. Tetsuya has to face his past while navigating his new solo life. The Grim Reaper has come to collect. I love the episode.
