Finally some Jin lore! He’s so quiet but his past feels so heavy. The duel in the rain gave me actual goosebumps—the sound design in this show is literally a 10/10. My heart hurts for him!

This episode shifts into a darker tone and it works really well. The animation during the bridge scenes feels sharper, and the tension is way higher than earlier episodes. You also see how differently Mugen and Jin handle serious threats, which makes their dynamic even better.

Fight almost pops off again… and yep, still gets cut short. 😅Tension keeps rising and you can feel things about to go bad. Pacing stays balanced, but when it hits, it hits. Also, gotta say, Mugen dropped a gem—straight-up life lesson. Don’t miss it!
