[C] 08 – Confidence


In this episode, we take a glimpse of the Southeast Asian Financial District and its possible collapse. Meanwhile, back in Japan, the effects of the slow downfall of the Japanese Financial District is seen and people are starting to disappear, and the only people who noticed it are those in the District.


Probably, one of the strongest episodes so far and in my opinion, it has the same intensity like that of the episode were Sennoza appeared in which they talked about caring about the possible future more about the present. One thing I noticed on those people who are affected by the possible collapse of the District is that they are acting lame and that they are not in themselves.

As for Kimimaro, as he sees the effects of the District in front of his eyes, he is starting to have doubts about the future and how can he restore the lost future, starting with his teacher. Meanwhile, one thing that bothered me in this episode is that what is this “C” that Mikuni is talking about? Also, like I said about Mikuni slowly turning into his father was right.


Seriously, he is willing to sacrifice some people for the sake of the District not to collapse even if it will have a great effect in reality. The episode hints a possible deeper connection between Msyu and Kimimaro, which is interesting since as we all know, Kimimaro’s dad went bankrupt in the District, losing his future as collateral. Could it be that Msyu might be Kimimaro’s sister? It also revealed that Mikuni’s sister is still alive, only that she is under comatose.

Overall, probably one of my favorite episodes to date due to what’s happening around the episode which includes the collapse of probably, one of the strongest economies in Southeast Asia, Singapore and its disappearance in the world map due to the collapse of the SEA Financial District. And most importantly, we saw Mikuni’s other side that Kimimaro is not aware of.
