Our Take
In this episode, the focus shifts to the aftermath of Celia’s kidnapping and the arrival of new heroes in the world. The summoning of these heroes, coinciding with Celia’s crisis, is a bit unconventional but manages to fit into the storyline. Haruto shares his past life with Celia, who embraces him for who he is now, creating a deeper connection between them. The episode maintains a lighthearted tone as the girls enjoy a shopping trip, adding a fun contrast to the serious events unfolding.
Though the pacing is slow, the episode effectively sets up intriguing character dynamics, particularly with Haruto’s relationships with Celia and Aisha. The introduction of a new hero with a questionable attitude hints at future conflicts, while political tensions in the background suggest a larger plot at play.
Overall, this episode may not be action-packed, but it builds anticipation for what’s to come. The overlapping dialogue during language transitions is an interesting concept, though it can become a bit irritating. At this point, I’m eager to see how Haruto’s past will unfold and how it will affect his interactions with those around him as the plot unravels, not to mention the post-credits preview kinda ruined the surprise a bit…
