Those emotions just punch me in my heart all at once! I'd thought Episode 15 was already an appropriate place to conclude this arc, but then we get this simultaneously tearful and inspirational encore with Blades Retsuden that says so much with so little. This show is always so full of pleasant surprises!

Yeah, this show's character stuff... boy, it's just really good?
