EPISODE REVIEWS

This episode captures the "invisible" wall every beginner hits: boredom. It’s a brave narrative choice to linger on the frustration of basic training. The social pressure from his peers makes his internal struggle feel authentic and his eventual choice much more weightier

Hanamichi finally snapped out on his training and his frustations towards Captain Akagi. Pacing is kinda slow compared to earlier episodes without climactic moments. You can skip this episode if you'd like.
