Episode 6
Shu the Strategist episode! It breezes through two seasons with impressive momentum. The detailed character work is memorable, and that bowing scene is definitely folder-worthy.

The ending card for Episode 6, "Strategist Shu," features an illustration by Wandarchia—so nice to see! Hearing that there were three full bows (dogeza) really makes you want to save it straight to your phone's gallery. The classic visual of the fast runner leaving a cloud of dust behind feels nostalgic and heartwarming. It’s understandable they cut Li Long and Jouei’s storylines so cleanly given they’re wrapping up two seasons in one go, but I was a bit confused when Flick’s line seemed to side with Victor, especially since we already noticed he had the Star Sword. The twist of draining all the river water instead of just having a one-on-one duel was surprising, and seeing the coins from the Archipelago nations for the first time felt fresh. The way Stallion, Amada, and Richmond were each portrayed as distinct, well-developed characters was really impressive. I’m excited to see who joins the ranks next!
