A wild train ride of an episode if I've ever seen one. The amount of stuff that went on is ridiculous, and the amount of reveals we also got was ridiculous. Emotionally, they did everything right. I was so tense the entire time (in a good way) while watching the insanity unfold before me. Like, I feel like I can't even talk about this episode without it being spoiler heavy, but all I'll say is I wasn't ready for things to start kicking into gear, like, two minutes into the runtime. Absolute insanity.

This episode is the best of this season, especially the train battle. Seeing Taiyo's emotion during Hakuja's final revelation had me so hyped. Seeing his rage turn into empathy had me hooked because of his reaction. His victory felt bittersweet rather than just a simple win.

The Gerbera train arc picks up the intensity and the reveal about Taiyo's parents hits hard. It gives the story some much-needed weight beyond the usual comedy and family shenanigans. Hakuja as an antagonist is interesting but I wish they fleshed her out more. The animation holds up decently for the action scenes but this show really shines more in its character moments than its battles.
