Mini redemption arc for Will in this episode and a pretty satisfactory final battle too. Nothing too crazy but animation was pretty decent for this series, so is the storytelling and pacing. Ep ends on a good note, fitting end to the season imo.

Synopsis
Born into a new world after a life of stagnancy, Will awakens to the faces of a skeleton, a ghost, and a mummy. Living in the ruins of a city long fallen, the three raise Will as their own. The skeleton— Blood—teaches him to fight; the ghost—Gus—teaches him magic; and the mummy—Mary—teaches him religion and responsibility. Most importantly, they all teach him love. As Will grows up and learns about the world he was born into, he prepares for the day when he must finally set out on his own. For Will, this journey includes a lifelong promise. At their coming-of-age, every adult is required to swear an oath to the god of their choice, with the strength of the pledge affecting the degree of their sworn god's blessing. With his departure approaching, Will must prepare to accept the truth of his undead guardians and embark into a world that even they don't know the state of. Will discovers, however, that every oath must be fulfilled, one way or another. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Quick Takes
View all 36 takesAn action packed episode with intense and emotional moments. Though the battle scene was short and kinda ended weird, it did well at capturing the emotional impact it had on Will. Will still has a lot to learn as this ep exposes his flaws in his mindset.
Bishop Bagley and Prince Ethel seemed kinda shady at first, but I like how this ep shows more on their character and that they aren’t bad people. A lot of character dialogue going on but I enjoy the storytelling and the flow of the story, good ep overall imo.
