Past Few Eps Have Been Rlly Good In Terms Of Pacing And Tone For The Most Part - Blog Posts

Do you want to know what’s so truly sickening in this scene? The moment where Matakara removed the jacket + armband and then dumped it into the sea water you can tell by Kenichiro’s expression (even if it remained the same as it is) that he was disappointed in himself, that he failed to live up to Mitsukuni’s promise to him to look after Matakara.

Honestly, even if Ken was pretty forgettable (no thanks to certain story directions btw) as a character, I definitely feel sorry for him.

The most painful part? That jacket belonged to Mitsukuni. So to see Matakara throwing away the last reminder of his brother, the only family that he had left and doing it in front of his brother’s most trusted comrade and leader who did whatever he can to keep Matakara safe is just truly saddening.
