EPISODE REVIEWS
I liked the darker feel of this one, and the group action gave it some good energy. The episode also did a nice job of making things feel more serious without going too far with it. The mix of action and tension worked well here. A decent watch if you’re in the mood for something a little more intense.
The pacing in this ep was slow as Chun Li's father was the highlight of this ep. The plot was definitely building tension and that cliffhanger was pretty mysterious. It was quite interesting that three martial arts symbolizing three countries were featured in this ep. The BGM, along with the OP and ED, brings nostalgic feels from classic video game-like sound effects.
I had to look away from some fight scenes because the screen flashes were way too intense. Godamn. Couldn't properly enjoy it because of that. But after the previous tease of Dorai being targeted, this was expected and the fights were mostly OK. I feel like this was just the appetizer and the main course is yet to show up. Decent episode overall.
