The more or less self-contained MOTW basic story in this episode is one that I like to return to occasionally for something relaxing. Partly because it feels representative of early Blade overall, which for me has positive associations, and also partly because I don't feel like I have to pay close attention to it. (I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not, haha)

Kenzaki and Hajime's interactions are absolutely my favorite part of the episode, though

As a side note about the music - Chalice has three or four versions of that guitar-heavy theme song, all of which are part of the giant music box set (plus a set of the ace cards if you bought the physical CDs in 2004!) available on Spotify for some inexplicable reason. And by inexplicable, I mean that Spotify has pointed out every year since I got an account that the Blade soundtrack is one of my most-listened-to albums
