Episode 15

Everyone's Reactions

It’s so cool that Nana Mizuki is both singing the new OP, "Akatsuki no Hoshi," and playing the fake Ishtar. You can almost read her character through the song, which makes it even more exciting. But fans are going wild because the previous OP is gone and there’s no pre-OP commentary anymore—I totally get that desperate shout of "Put the pre-OP back in!" The episode also touched on infectious diseases, showing how some kids who got vaccinated against smallpox and BCG as children don’t catch it. It made me think about modern vaccinations and gave me a little surprise. Being called the "miracle girl" really makes you feel like she’s destined for something big. Amidst the serious developments, Ramses is acting as a breath of fresh air; without him, things might have felt suffocating. With the throne dispute now in play, I expect the next episode to bring even more intense maneuvering, so I won’t be able to look away.
