EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at episode 13 of 51, this lands right at the first-quarter mark and follows the emotionally charged 'Memories Buried in the Snow,' pivoting from that episode's personal revelations toward broader themes of desire and consequence. It deepens the mystical lore and character motivations in ways that directly feed into episode 14, 'The Legendary Demon God, Reveal Zenki's Secret,' which promises major revelations about Zenki himself. This functions as essential connective tissue — building the supernatural framework the series will lean on going forward.
