EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at episode 20 of 26, this marks the transition from the fracturing alliances established in 'Chapter Nineteen: Stars Divided' into active strategic maneuvering against Keiro. It serves as the calm-before-the-storm pivot point for the final arc, channeling the divisions among the celestial warriors into a concrete plan of action. The groundwork laid here feeds directly into 'Chapter Twenty-One: A Commoner Infuriated,' where the consequences of these decisions begin to escalate the empire's internal conflict toward its climax.
