UP: Wiz's little romance is PURE and heartbreaking. The storm scene is beautifully animated. DOWN: Daisuke and Riku's involvement feels like filler. The bunny disappears and you're left sad. 🍓

Episode Context

D.N.Angel shifts gears at episode nine, trading supernatural heists for something softer. This is a character-driven breather episode that puts the spotlight on With, Daisuke's shape-shifting companion, as a personal infatuation sends him on an emotionally charged little adventure. Daisuke and Riku step into supporting roles here, and their dynamic gets room to breathe outside the usual phantom thief chaos. Expect gentle pacing, warm comedic beats, and a surprisingly tender exploration of affection and loyalty. The fantasy elements take a backseat to slice-of-life charm, making this one feel more like a cozy side story than a plot-heavy installment. If you're invested in the cast beyond the action, this episode rewards that investment with genuine heart and a lighter touch that the series earns by this point.
