Seirei no Moribito ep. 21
[ Episode 21: Jiguro Musa ]
First thing’s first: Young Balsa is soooo cute! And young adult Balsa is breathtakingly beautiful. It’s no wonder Tanda fell for her after living together for all those years. I also laughed at how Torogai looks exactly the same as she did all of those years ago. Man, how old is she going to live to be lol? Anyways, I enjoyed this episode as it was an insightful look into Balsa’s past and answers a few questions I had been pondering for some time now (such as how she eventually came to learn martial arts/the spear, how she lived while in Kanbal, etc.). It’s interesting how her past seems to be taking up two episodes though from the looks pf the preview it’ll probably be two and a half since it seems to also deal with Balsa now teaching Chagum martial artists and the way of the spear.

What I found most interesting is that she’s been using the same spear for 20+ years. At this point it’d practically be part of her body, since she carried it around with her all through her developing years and literally grew into it. It’s no wonder she’s so strong.
I couldn’t believe when Jiguro stuck the first Spear and his weapon broke. What a piece of junk! Loli-Balsa was awesome, and it’s too bad Jiguro got all jealous and smacked her upside the face for stealing his spotlight. I can’t blame him, though, since he will probably only get 2 episodes of screentime.
This was a really awesome episode, though, even if it was mostly just Balsa narrating.
My reaction to the spear breaking was something like “O_O WTF? Is that thing rusty or something? XD”.
It must’ve been really old is all I can say lol.
