So we found out more about Akira's past and why she chose her name. Kinda interesting and makes sense from her perspective imo. Since she was young, she trained hard to perfect her skills.

Got to know about Sakuya's tragic past as well. Honestly, this show has some depressing background stories if you ask me.

The restoration of Choshu Domain, and the Shinsengumi are in charge.

Katsura and Akira have another moment to themselves, while the Shinsengumi are hard at work helping people and Suzuran discovering the plot of the Masked Demons. Akira's backstory was the stereotypical hierarchy where men are greatly desired than women, and her family dojo will not be passed down to her. It's the same for Sakuya, whom became the way he is now thanks to his parents and living with domestic abuse, and he lived with a burden.

But man, the villainy plot is so bare-bones that it isn't even worth mentioning, using magical spells to save the nation as its foundation. And what Sakuma Shozan mentions is absolutely true: when all is said and done, both the Samurai and Shogunate will fall, and the old-fashioned ways will too in time to come.

One mission leads to another: stop the destruction of foreign properties. And they will not stop at what they do.

Better than some of the previous episodes. I liked the mask being a metaphor for the strong front he has put up.

It was fun seeing Kyoto being built and the Shinsengumi gaining trust. We also get some insight into Rashomaru's emotions and possible motives. This episode includes some other things like a great friendship and the setup of the next arc.
