Episode 21 "Rainbow Event"

Much like He Jin before Gongsan Zan leaves the show but she promises to return one day and I can’t wait for that for her presence will be sorely missed. Liu Bei gets sorely depressed from this but our lovable angel Xu Shu comes in a surprisingly whips up a fanciful dish after exploding the kitchen lol. This cheers up Liu Bei and with that, the Rainbow Event has begun. This allows Legend Heroes with 2 or more Hero Pieces to enter a test to gain the assistance of an angel. Naturally, Liu Bei chooses Xu Shu.




We finally get to see the Mother Computer who learn that every 300 years a Dream Battle takes place so that the Royal Seal which protects Heaven and Earth regains its energy. Which is the strongest human dream in exchange to gain the user’s wish. As well as being introduced to the final main angel Zhuge Liang.




Who’s apathetic towards the Dream Battle seeing that the angels are nothing more than tools to be discarded once the battle is over. Zhang Liang manages to put down Xu Shu into quitting but also pretends that she doesn’t want to break her promise to Liu Bei. So she disguises Zhang Liang as a warlord and tells Liu Bei to just go. However, before Liu Bei goes he gives that cookie recipe Xu Shu loves to Zhang Liang as a sign of their bond and to make Xu Shu happy which warms my heart. Zhang Jue arrives into heaven and decides this event can happen with his plans and summons an army of Tao Troopers to attack everybody. Liu Bei defends Xu Shu and he comments on how he’s become stronger, confined, and even has a friend with the Hero Pieces and it’s all thanks to her Liu Bei doesn’t care about power or abilities but Xu Shu herself. In the end, we see Sima Yi partnered with Cao Cao, Zhou Yu with Sun Ce, and of course Liu Bei and Xu Shu. (I honestly wished Cao Cao and Sun Ce were in this episode more as we only see them at the end of the episode kinda makes this whole event feel a little empty) And Zhang Liang all by himself contemplating Xu Shu joining the “meaningless battle” Xu Shu has now been bumped up to the main girl status that Gongsun Zan is gone.

The episode reveals a lot about the show’s lore, introducing a new element to the Dream battle of the angels actively fighting on behalf of their new warlords and in general, finally give Xu Shu some much-needed focus. Being left out of the spotlight outside of the first episode and for exposition. Focusing on her relationship with Liu Bei how they both lift each other in trying times. And the void left behind by Gongsan Zan’s temporary leave I’ll happily take Xu Shu and her new status as Liu Bei angel from now on.
