EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming directly off the climactic confrontation in Episode 20's 'Battle of Good and Evil,' this episode functions as a critical transition point — processing the fallout and realigning character relationships before the final stretch. It bridges the high-intensity action arc with the more strategic 'Four Heroes Council' setup arriving in Episode 22. With only four episodes remaining, this is the pivot where Shield Hero shifts from survival mode to addressing the systemic injustices that have defined Naofumi's journey.
