I didn't expect to see this drawing till the series finale.
In this episode, Kotetsu returns to his hometown, Oriental Town that looks like some random Japanese province in my opinion to relax and to think about the future regarding him losing his powers. Also, after so many years, he finally meets his daughter, Kaede and boy, she is such a Barnaby fangirl that she keeps pictures of him in her desk!
The episode was about the fatherly bond between these two Kaburagis. In Kaede’s case, she hates his father because he didn’t visit them for quite a long time now, which is understandable in my opinion on why she is distant with his father. I mean, she doesn’t have a mother plus her guardian is her grandmother and if God wills it, He will take her away from Kaede since it is her time. Kaede lacks the proper guidance coming from an actual parent, which Kotetsu abandoned for years because of his job as a superhero.
This episode also explores more on what Kotetsu will do once his powers will completely vanish. Sure, they never what are Kotetsu’s options after he will completely lose his powers but based on his actions, it seems that he is fine with Barnaby doing all the work and at seen in the last scene in the episode, he is now planning to resign at his job just to be with Kaede. Another thing that I liked in this episode is Kotetsu’s flashback, it was simple and emotional and it really shows what he sacrificed for the sake of his dream of becoming one great hero.
The episode also features Kotetsu’s dedication as a father that he does his best to bond with his only daughter and never fails to do his responsibilities as a parent even if it will cause some of his limit in using his powers. And for the biggest surprise in this episode, Kaede. Yes, I am not surprised with her Barnaby fangirlism but what surprised me in this episode is that they revealed that she is a NEXT! Based on that short scene of her jumping around, it seems her powers involves floating and able to do incredible leaps. And for the clincher in this episode, that was so touching that I want to cry when I first watched that episode.
Overall, it was yet another good episode and it seems that the series is getting more dramatic as the weeks go by. Hopefully, the series will continue with this pace because based on the episode title alone, it seems that they will go much deeper with the Ouroboros organization since the title has the word, “ignorance” in it. Seriously, most fans, including me had a feeling that Jake is not involved with the deaths of the Brooks since we weren’t able to see the tattoo in his hand.
