As episode 1 of 24, 'Oni's Blood' is pure foundation, it introduces Shiki Ichinose, establishes the central conflict rooted in heritage and ancient rivalries, and sets the emotional and tonal baseline for the entire season. There's nothing before it, so the episode carries the full weight of world-building and character introduction. It directly feeds into episode 2, 'If You Want to Make It, Keep On Winning,' where Shiki begins processing his new reality and the challenges tied to his bloodline.
