Unfortunately (for me), it looks like the next couple of episodes are in fact going to be a training arc for our Black Bulls, and this episode marks the first one with Noelle spearheading it. We had some characters show up again, which is nice to see, I guess, but I truly amn't a big fan of training arcs. Still, it's not like this episode was bad and with nothing of substance. These sorts of things are important, I know (which is why I'll stop complaining), but I just want to get back to the driving plot.

that control training for noelle is paying off and seeing her talk about her mom while using valkyrie dress underwater felt like she is finally growing up

That Kraken fight was intense and the way Noelle used her Valkyrie Armor to zip through the water shows how much she has grown since they first visited the temple

Episode Context

The Black Bulls trade battlefields for beachside as the squad heads to the coastal region of Raquey for a training excursion. This is a character-driven episode that leans into adventure and mystery rather than pure action. Noelle Silva takes center stage, with the narrative pushing her toward meaningful self-reflection and personal growth. Expect a reunion with familiar faces from the Underwater Temple arc. Kahono and Kiato return, adding emotional texture and continuity to the world-building. The pacing shifts between quieter introspective moments and energetic action sequences, keeping things from ever feeling stagnant. Finral rounds out the featured cast as themes of confronting the past and finding strength through teamwork carry the episode. A solid breather that still moves the needle on character development without sacrificing entertainment value.
