Zen has always wished to connect with somebody.
"Prince Zen, you are one of the country's princes. Among the people you will meet by chance, there will surely be someone you can trust. If you choose to distrust people, then those people will never appear before you."

I think that says a lot about Mitsuhide's character. Even in the manga I still hope to read about Mitsuhide's past - before he met Zen. Before he met Kiki.
============================================================
What is this?? Giving Obi the part of taking down that spy instead of Zen. ¬_¬
In the manga, Zen dealt with the spy directly making it "worth it, allowing him to be easily seen together with Shirayuki". It was clever and he protected Shirayuki (telling her to keep her distance when she wanted to approach so the guy wouldn't have a chance to try anything).

I can't make sense of the changes they've made to the anime.

A good author leaves the audience enough material to be satisfied with, yet yearning for more.

The relationship between Mitsuhide & Zen is much more interesting than lovey dovey relationship between Zen & Shirayuki, this episode confirmed it once again. It feels natural & nothing overly dramatic, unlike the latter which has been very overly dramatic & unnatural. Well, basically the romance part is not the strong aspect of this show so far. Which is unfortunate.
I like anime.

Current status: can't decide if I love Zen or Obi more right now, haha.

I loved the two of them having a bro moment drinking on the floor... right next to a table and couches (at the end of the episode). Real bros don't need table and chairs. Was that explained and I just missed it somehow?

Everyone who has read the manga seems excited for the next arc so... I'm excited too x)

I have to agree somewhat with this sentiment. While I've seen far worse in the romance dept, Obi and Mitsuhide are far more intriguing as characters than any backstory or cuteness between Zen and Shirayuki. Slow development is cool though, so I'll wait.

Exactly. But I think the way they handle Zen & Shirayuki relationship is what makes shoujou a shoujo. It's something that every shoujo anime has, a very dramatic & "dreamy" relationship between the protagonist and the love interest. I do not think it will change. So I hope they will not focus too much on the romance aspect.
I like anime.

What love triangle? Zen - Shirayuki - Obi? Because that's false, Obi made it very clear he's just a spectator. No reason to believe he's got a romantic inclination in this story. Heck, even if he did, I doubt he'd get in the way, he knows his role.

Nice to get more on Obi, but Mitsuhide and Kiki still need more development (though the flashbacks are helping with Mitsuhide for now).

It was nice, having an episode without Shirayuki/Zen romance or so much focus on Shirayuki.
I think I like Obi.

I agree.

I also like Mitsuhide and Kiki together.

And that's how you mix up a backstory with its relative flashbacks and the development of two other characters in a single episode, simply excellent.

Also, I'm starting to like Obi finally, now we only miss Kiki's spotlight.

Obi is now the best character, if Zen and Shirayuki didn't already love each other, I would rather ship Shirayuki with Obi. Mistuhide is pretty sick. Drunk Shirayuki was hilarious as was jealous Zen.

I don't even know why I'm still watching this tbh, I should've dropped it way earlier but now that I reached this far it seems like "I got till here might as well finish" situation. I thought the "Better than Akatsuki no Yona" rumored scenes would be here by now :/ I really hope that all who said that didn't only mean the romantic development but after 9 episodes it seems like that's what it was about.

At least drunk Shirayuki was amusing in a way I guess.

word

The flashbacks are, again, the highlight of the episode, and the slow discussion between Zen and Obi was interesting as well. The show is at its lowest point when it's some scene revolving around the relationship between Shirayuki and Zen. Shirayuk herselfi is a fine character, potentially the best character in the series, so give her more screen time that isn't related to Zen.

Drunk women sleeping are hot. Such a bunch lucky bastards.
Kiki is hot too. Her and Mitsuhide need to end up together, or I'll riot.

Zen just upgraded his crew. Obi is a good addition. He's a bit of a wild card, but that can be totally useful as a prince.

Drunk Shirayuki is hilarious. She even gets a piggy back ride, something Obi can brag about lol

The flashback scenes were good. Adds to Zen's character.

Episode very smooth, although there were moments a little bit mushy and situations in the déjà vu, the good part where there is a flashback, as a whole, the narrative of the qualities that make you forget the flaws seen today. Drawings and animations still excellent, great quality by Studio Bones, I'm happy. :D

While drunk Shirayuki is great, especially because it allowed Hayami to have a bit more fun with the role... I'm more grateful for the additional history for Mitsu and Zen.

Zen semi-officially welcomed Obi to the team, who proved how perceptive he can be to other people's emotions. And you just gotta love a rogue who's officially employed by the government. How long this can last, remains to be seen. I definitely wouldn't mind a bit of background on him, too.
