: It’s a solid episode for character development, particularly for Silvia, as it establishes her difficult family background. If you can move past the heavy fan service, the introduction of Veronica and Avdocha sets a more serious tone for the arcs to come.
: Viewers have noted that while the series often leans heavily into ecchi elements, this episode balances it with genuine plot progression and the threat of assassination.
: Veronica lives up to her reputation, providing a sharp contrast to Silvia’s more vulnerable side. Her introduction adds a layer of political and personal urgency that was missing in previous episodes.
: Discussion threads on Reddit highlighted that the Funimation version of this episode removed or cropped certain scenes involving fan service, such as a bathhouse segment and specific revealing shots.
