Word building and introduction of other members following the previous one.
Also, give some hints about the upcoming conflict.

Overall – hooked me till the end, 8/10

Un episodio donde se explora un poco más en el lore y la presentación oficial de personajes, pero además mantiene combates. Me gusta que aparezcan científicos históricos con poderes, como si fuese un videojuego de peleas.

newton having an apple for a head- that was so smart and witty and very distracting... LMAO

well that was a unique way of healing that guy- hearing haito's lore was really sad tho. im liking the pace of this show, it continues to keep me interested with it and doesn't have any filler scenes which successfully pulls me in for more

Pacing is fast, but some character development feels rushed

The introduction of the new characters and their powers was really well done and the violence really fits the dark tone the show is going for.

Neumann is so fascinating with his icy calculations. It's awesome to see a character who's all about strategy and not just brute force.

The opening sequence was so cool and the way they introduced all the different Returners was so dynamic. I love how the animation style just pops.

Haito's backstory is just heartbreaking, you feel so bad for her and her drive to honor her father. The sacrifices she made are intense.

I loved the humor when Haito took down Gacy with a single strike. It was such a great contrast to Neumann's serious tactical plan.

Man, itsuki is such a jerk but he gets under your skin in a way that makes you want to see what he does next. That whole

Man, Touya really just went for it with Haito, I expected more internal conflict but they just cut straight to the chase.

This episode was wild, Musashi just showed up and one-shotted that clown, didn't even break a sweat. You gotta respect that efficiency.

It settled into a more natural pacing and focused more on dialogue rather than action. It gave us a meaningful backstory for a character while also introducing new faces. Overall, it felt like a setup episode that focuses on establishing the story and significant characters.

This episode gave us more insight into one of the main characters, adding depth and making them feel more fleshed out. Not only that, but we were also introduced to more interesting new characters, which helped expand the lore and the world-building.

I love this episode. While seeing more of the characters, I couldn’t help but compare it to Bungou Stray Dogs because of the vibe and character dynamics. This episode was really good, especially with the bit of backstory we got. Touya and Haitou’s chemistry was portrayed so well, making their interactions even more enjoyable and engaging to watch.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming off the series premiere 'Those Who Shed Petals,' which laid the conceptual groundwork for Returners and the Branch of Reincarnation, this episode shifts from world-building into consequence, asking what these powers cost the people who carry them. It occupies the critical bridge position between introduction and escalation, establishing the ethical tensions that will likely define the conflicts ahead.
