Honestly I never thought I could this much of greatness. How lord of the mysteries portrayed the image of Mr Azik, I really was on jaw drop all the time, this episode was a masterpiece, how we emotionally attached with Mr Azik, and Klein saying Mr Azik could help him later was a perfect foreshadowing, I feel so lucky to be born in a time where I could experience lord of the mysteries, for me its everything. This ep was 10/10.

This was actually the best eps for me. If u think it was hard to get things i will just explain here. The pacing is better, the animation, the fights, the emotion and characters building we learn azik. This was 10/10 eps. If u find it hard to understand maybe wait the dub which is much better and easier to understand or watch tiktok explainations.

As a previous novel reader, Azik Eggers was my all-time favourite character. I was initially worried characters in this Donghua wont be fleshed out due to the fast pacing and donghua-only watchers wouldn't connect to the characters but this exceeded my expectations by a long-shot. I even believe they did Azik better here than in the novel, they just did him THAT good!

I thought it was interesting they portrayed him as a suspicious individual at the beginning, but then reveals he's a very kind-hearted and tragic character. It certainly adds suspense and intrigue to his initial character which makes it all the more engaging.

I also believe the beginning of this episode was just as great too and I love the visualization of Klein being burnt by gazing at a God, it really helps put into perspective the strength of these deities.

Overall, I'm a LotM glazer and Azik's bootlicker, regardless, they did everything right from his portrayal, his backstory, the animation, everything!

Hate clicking rating 1 by some doesn't change the fact that this is one of the best episode so far. It will get the recognition from fans and anime only viewer no matter, who are already invested in the series. It might also hook some others who were missing emotional touch up till now. Well people who knows knows, the story is too deep, complex and mysterious (obviously) to understand everything if they are viewing it in the same way as they were watching any other series. If reading is not your forte (even the subtitles) please wait for dub. It would be worth the wait.

This episode focuses on Azik and tells his sad and emotional backstory. It slows down the main plot, but in a good way-letting us really feel for his character. The visuals are beautiful, and the music fits the mood perfectly. Some small CGI parts were a bit off, but overall the episode looked great. There's no action or comedy here, just a serious and touching story. It may not be the most exciting episode, but it's one of the most powerful so far. A must-watch for fans who like deep character moments.
