The latest episode is much more feel-good and showcases Miyo and Kiyoka in a domestic lifestyle. After getting kidnapped by her own family and being forced to leave Kiyoka, she is finally resting and at peace. However, the dangers have not subsided as the people from her dynasty have been constantly trying to seek her.

In episode 7, we get much-needed instances of Miyo and Kiyoka getting closer to each other as their relationship develops drastically after the traumatic incident. They both understand each other on a deeper level and maintain a mature relationship. Kiyoka has an innate sense of protectiveness and possessiveness towards Miyo, basically because of how she has been abused in the past.

Miyo, on the other hand, has become more open about her wants and needs. Although she is shy and timid, she is unafraid to voice her opinions and display her love and respect for Kiyoka. Moreover, she is always willing to learn and improve her skills. Her curiosity to learn and become more useful around the house is another great quality she possesses.

Another new character has been introduced in the anime, which provides great depth to the story. Kioka who has been a man of a few words throughout the series, showcases a different personality with his sister. It is intriguing to watch him bicker and fight with her as we have always seen him as a more stoic and serious person.

Apart from the story, the episode’s animation is still of the highest calibre and perfectly conveys the adrenaline and intensity. Through the use of vivid colours, precise textures, and flowing animation, these expertly staged confrontations go beyond the bounds of reality. Viewers are drawn into a world where kinetic energy meets emotional resonance by the dynamic interaction between human emotions and their environment in these sequences.
