A big surprise for a 29-minute runtime episode. The direction in this episode was so outstanding.
First we had the scene where Spriggan tries to trick Teoritta. Of course Teoritta would have her guard with what is a young girl. In fact, this almost worked because Teoritta is kind to anyone in need. Spriggan’s plan would have worked, but it was the knife that Teoritta got from Xylo that saved her. Really enhances the scene, especially with how fast it all happened. Also have to love Tsav’s comedy of him shooting a civilian. But it really is a great showcase of why he is such a good ally to have. His instincts are insanely good.
Rhyno is a demon, and his crime is killing his own kind. What makes him a true psychopath is that he loves killing demons. I wonder if his crime is killing a human who was a demon. It would add up. It all makes sense why Teoritta was on guard against him because he isn’t human.
The ending stuff for Patauche Kivia was great stuff. So her uncle was a part of the coexisters. She barely made it alive, but now she is convicted of the crime of killing her uncle. If we recall, in Xylo’s trial he was assumed guilty first, much the same for Kivia.
For Kivia, the choice to be a hero or be sentenced for a crime that is misunderstood is a no-brainer. She would never join her uncle in being a coexister. As she takes pride in helping all people, not just those she cares for. Being a hero will still allow her to help people. With that being said, it will be interesting how Kivia goes from her. Though Kivia being sentenced to Be a Hero is interesting because she is the most heroic out of the main cast. At least it comes first compared to Xylo, who has a good heart but doesn’t let it show right here.
Interesting world-building with the First Goddess. Instead of summoning from another world, she uses her magic to resummon the dead, which we have the heroes. Could this imply that Tatsuya is from another world originally? Also the 12th Order of the Holy Knights. Why is he overseeing the heroes? Many interesting things, and hopefully we get an S2 announcement soon.
