No, I loved the flashback. It was well-placed. It really hit all the right emotions. And it wasn't just a flashback to what Takatora remembers - it's what he wanted to be. A supportive brother, rather than a harsh one.

Though I still have to say the episode itself was very poorly done from a production stand point, it definitely had an effect on me because I am still thinking about it right now. Every time I think about it, it hurts more. So they succeeded in that sense for sure. I definitely feel bad for Takatora. And the development of Mitchi is phenomenal.

I think this episode I would appreciate more a second time-around marathoning the series. Cause I said before - the pure writing and content surrounding it is fantastic.
