EPISODE CONTEXT

Following the premiere's introduction of Gabimaru and Sagiri, this second episode widens the lens to assemble the larger cast through a deadly selection process — the critical bridge between setup and the journey to Shinsenkyo. It deepens backstories and moral stakes before the group departs, meaning everything established here directly feeds into the expedition that will dominate the remaining eleven episodes. This is the foundation episode for the ensemble dynamic that defines the rest of the season.
