Episode 3

Everyone's Reactions

It seems like this episode was a real turning point for Liuyou and Jouei. The official explanation that what they’ve gained here will shape their fates really tugs at your heartstrings. I saw a post about someone crying their eyes out at the movie theater in episode 3, and just reading it brought tears to my own eyes. I totally get why they were so moved when Jouei was pulled during the Star Leap and heard those lines—that moment feels like it’s slipping away right before your eyes. It was such a treat for fans to see the anime-original weapon, Dain, make an appearance too. And I agree with the sentiment that Luka-sama is a pure villain but still likable. That scene where he pulls off his sly little act and gets asked, "Did you do it!?" almost made me shout out loud. I love how even the small details, like the armor looking so hot or the mysterious explosions, are all fun to watch. I want to keep riding this wave next week, so I’ll definitely catch up even if I’m sleep-deprived.
