| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, Kage can show human emotions after all despie how strange it is. Not going to lie, I was entertained watching Bojji spar with Daida. The latter looked pretty frustrated. He was definitely try to prove everyone something, although I think he went too far. Daida needs to control himself better or he's going to hurt others including himself. |
 |
| Man... Poor Bojji. I feel so bad for him. He got injured pretty badly in the fight against Daida after the instructions from Domas to stop dodging and fight like a true king. Idk how I feel about Domas right now. He could go either way right now. I don't trust him fully yet but we'll see. Other than that, we got to see more into Kage's character with the help of a backstory on his childhood. That was really sad if you ask me. We also got to see Kage's mother... (┬┬﹏┬┬). This episode was full of emotions and pain. I feel so bad for Kage now. Very sad past. That gift scene was so pure. I cried in this episode. No regrets. *sobs* |
 |
| The Shadow Clan has always been raucously targeted by the Royal family (whom they dubbed the Light Clan), and Kage being young at the time, his mother protected him from their infamy. At least the young countess Poise and her butler assistant helped him escape, but it leaves him all alone and wandering around like a lost kid. Beings who look evil, but are taught to help others. The troubles of Kage being mistreated by humans, as such with a drunk man making him do chores to outright stealing. It's sad to see Kage treat this man as family and betray him, even as such when he's at his death throes, leaving him alone once again. No wonder Kage grew up being a thief, that is until he met Prince Bojji, and continuing last episode's sparring session with his brother Daida under Domas's supervision. Bojji getting beaten up by Daida while no one's stopping them is a matter of pride of fighting like someone fit for royalty, until Apeas stopped the fight from getting much worse. Kage sees that Bojji is not even trustworthy in the royal ranks, while getting much-needed recovery, he always wants to try his best without giving up. Kage giving Bojji a proposal to stay by his side, that's pretty heartwarming. Would be interesting to see how Kage would stand forth alongside Prince Bojji. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Such a good fucking episode man, so much passion in this show, i love the manga but the anime is just taking it to a step above. |
| Holy shit this episode was so perfect |
| Already tearing up on episode 2, Kage's facial expressions and the dread of seeing his mom dead on a stick is just really hard to bear. I'm glad he found the man and the little girl who helped him out so well. While it was hard to watch, it is true that Bojji can't only just dodge his opponent's attacks when he can't profit from it with just so little strength. Kage fully committed to staying by Bojji's side ;_; |
| damn that made my cry Kage and Boji are unfortunate lets see how they will win against society |
| I got very emotional while watching this episode ಥ‿ಥ. Wit studio is doing a great job in adapting the source material. I have read the Web Manga which is good but the Anime is great 10 time better then the source material. Thank you Wit. |

| The Shadow clan persecution part made me have Berserk flashbacks when the soldiers appeared with the killed shadows impaled. Damn! Almost every kind heart kid to everyone in that kingdom is creepy. I want to see how Poise is now. Kage had a good mother, and she wasn't a hypocrite, which is good. At least there's someone with a little of common sense in the knights ranks. Ty, Apeas Now Boji have his spy division. |

| Great episode! That scene where Kage’s mother told him to escape and that she’d meet with him later but Kage ended up seeing her dead really hit hard. I’m happy we got see some backstory for Kage. I hate that old man who treated Kage so badly and used him to steal money only for him to sell him out in the end. I really hate Boji’s brother Deida. Boji would have wreckt him if he wasn’t told by his master to not fight cowardly. Really liking this show so far. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Jesus fucking christ I literally cried twice. What an heartbreaking episode. |

| The backstory of Kage was pretty heartbreaking. Discrimination was pretty heavy for him. Escaped and left his own mother because of the humans.. Well well, Boiji put up a great fight but ended up with injuries. Beaten up by Daida and everyone is just looking at them. They ain't helping anytime soon. Ending was pretty wholesome, seems like they'll be staying at each other's side now. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| The opening and ending are seriously friggin good. And man, poor smol Kage. Heartbreakingly bittersweet how he kept clinging to that small time hoodlum, especially the hand holding scene. Bad company is still better than the pain of being alone to some people. Also loved the bonding at the end. Great follow up episode. This series is proving that you don't necessarily need a fancy plot to keep your audience engaged. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication or so they say. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Fantastic episode, I'm in love with this anime Bojji and Kage are such great characters |
| Made the mistake of reading the web toon so it seemed to me just as retelling the story until around the 15th minute where i started to tear up. Boji and Kage's friendship is something I can't wait to find out more about. |
| The manga scenes for this part were decent, but the anime made it 100x more impactful I have to say. That was a great episode, and this series is shaping up to be the 2nd best of the season for me behind Mushoku Tensei. Never imagined I would feel sympathetic for a fucking shadow but this show succeeded in that. The animation and cuts too for Bojji's crying out his frustrations after he got done dirty like that was stellar, it makes me want to see him conquer all the bullshit obstacles facing his way and win in life. For how he can't talk, his actions and personality speaks volumes more than most characters I've come across this year in only 2 episodes. Also liked the pacing for the backstory for Kage and going through this experiences in the past for more than half the episode. I love for how cartoony the visuals are, the messages and potential for the rest of the series feels more mature and thought out than a lot of anime out there this year, with proper execution too. Kind of surreal stuff here. Also, after a few listens to the King Gnu OP, I can say I like it now. Felt odd to me in the first episode but it's good now. |
| really loved this episode. Wanted the fight to have the opposite result but well, the last scene of they being together made it all good |
  |
| I can't wait to see how the story progresses after this! |

animejas said: The manga scenes for this part were decent, but the anime made it 100x more impactful I have to say. Totally agree 100%. I read what few chapters are currently available after the premiere but was surprised at how much better the anime executed this part of the story purely by restructuring events. |
| That was beautiful. I'm crying. Again. So Thursdays will be about crying... <3 |
 |
| Rewatching the trailer had spoiled me Bojji's defeat but damn this episode was good! |
| BEAUTIFUL EPISODE |
 |
| I knew this series had a lot of potential when I saw the PV... but I didn't expect it to get THIS good. Let alone the fact that this is climax level quality and we've barely gotten started. |
Rem4lifexD said: Boji would have wreckt him if he wasn’t told by his master to not fight cowardly. The problems is you're wrong. Nothing Bojji could have done would have injured Deida. Those light taps were literally the best Boji could do. |
 |
| Surprisingly emotional episode! I suppose the little princess (who sheltered little Kage) will one day return. It's a great ending. Bojji needed that moral support from Kage. |
| I literally cried my eyes out, peak fiction! |
Heeroyuymit said: I've lost all respect for Domas, he is a shit human being. If they were using actual swords and not sticks, Boiji would've won 20 times over. Can we get spear guy to train Boiji? he seems like the only one that cares about fairness, not that trash of a human being who won't even teach him how to fight and idly stands by as his pupil is beaten ruthlessly. What a trash human being. 100% agree, the thing I took away from this episode is how awful of a human being Domas is, absolutely detestable character. |

| bruhhhh this is so sad and wholesome at the same time I was crying the whole ep this might be the AOTS |
