Episode 3

Everyone's Reactions

Episode 3, “I’ve Got Nothing but Guts,” really made Koichi’s effort come through, and it left me with a warm feeling. Especially after what he went through in the previous C-part, it’s great to see him trying to take his first steps as a working adult. It’s like you can hear people cheering, “Hang in there… hang in there…,” and it almost brought me to tears. Also, the timeline in this episode is a bit complex, which makes the world feel more expansive compared to the original. When the phrase “three years later” came up, it made Koichi’s growth feel just a little further ahead, and that got me excited. I’m really looking forward to seeing how things develop from here—it’s honestly a bit thrilling.
