Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Episode 13: Return of the Saint ]

I really liked this episode! Part of the reason was that Setsuna has more exposure and development that in previous episodes. I enjoyed the scenes where he met up with Graham and the other guy, I though his acting was pretty good. Only Graham wasn’t convinced that he was just a civilian. Also, I wonder if he meant to help Setsuna out by mentioning that the Enact was around the area? There’s just no way he’d really accidentally let important information like that just be “the slip of the tongue”. Another other notes, I was quite surprised that someone actually made it so far as Marina’s room to try and kill her but I suppose that they wouldn’t have the best security compared to other nations. Well, at least the guards were lightning fast at responding to the threat.

The latter half that took place which Setsuna proceeding towards the palace unarmed was just so damn intense that I was sitting on the edge of my chair. I’m pretty sure putting up with being shot at took a lot of willpower but it payed off in the end as they managed to show the world their resolve. I liked the Setsuna/Marina interaction as well and I hope that they are able to meet on more private terms soon. Still though, Marina was taking a big risk at shouting out Setsuna’s name like that. Who knows who could have heard or been recording her.
