Journey to the Granute World.

Although Nyelv appears to genuinely ally himself with Shoma—unlike Glion from Gotchard—it's evident that Nyelv still has ulterior motives and desires to rule over the Granute World. This isn't a redemption, it's an enemy mine situation fueled by mutual needs, like Saeko in W, Kuroto in Ex-Aid, Evolt in Build V-Cinema, or Daichi in Geats. Nyelv communicates pragmatically with Shoma, focusing his capabilities, Michiru's death, and his evolution from those events.

While people often think about grudge situations (Michiru's death), Shoma may refuse to work with Nyelv at first due to how it's probably about assisting Stomach Inc.'s crimes, until Nyelv reveals that their collaboration against Bocca could potentially safeguard the human world, giving back Stomach Inc. to Stomach family's hands and using its abilities to seal the door between the human and Granute worlds, of which Shoma agrees after the victims are returned.

By this logic, it seems that Shoma might be willing to leave the Granute World’s fate in the hands of the Stomach family if it means ensuring the safety of the human world. Now even Gavv also leaves me wanting more, as expressed earlier, I wanted to see more exploration of the Granute World. Unfortunately, it's done this late, and they likely will only focus on defeating Bocca, not touching upon other potentials like protecting the Granutes from harm and improving their world to promote happiness for all living beings.

While Sachika would help anyone, including strangers, as per wanting to make everyone happy, though people'd support this (hatred to baddies), I noticed that at times she can be judgmental towards those she deems bad, like the Granute part-timers, and that generally, the people she and Shoma help are the likable ones. So turns out that she still has flaws in her perspective that Shoma didn't, and what Hanto also got over with, acknowledging herself as shallow, having some black and white aspects before this.

Now that Sachika knows Rakia’s past as a human abductor and potential killer, her flaws surface. Although she isn’t self-righteous enough to view Rakia as beneath her or other good people, this still made her distance herself from Rakia at first, and she got conflicted over how bad guys don't deserve to be happy. Before acknowledging Rakia's change later, I guess she doesn't abide by protecting everybody's interests; those unworthy of her/Shoma's kindness, and likely she coped by not believing that Kenji murdered Sae before.

Though Hanto has clearly formed a friendship with Rakia since Episode 32, I disagree with Hanto justifying Rakia’s crimes as a means of avenging Comel, though Hanto pointing out the victims Rakia abducted are now free can be good news for Sachika, not about downplaying Rakia but about how she'd be relieved that the people she's worried about due to their kidnapped loved ones can still be happy. I think the defense should be about how the victims are safe, and he has genuinely changed for the better.

I wonder if there will be conflict between Lango and Nyelv, given that Nyelv is working with an individual Lango looks down upon. Lango is likely to disapprove of their collaboration due to his disdain for humans. Nyelv is already seen as a traitor to the Stomach family, but it can be because his actions seem to prioritize human interests over those of the Stomach family by recognizing Shoma's capabilities and not looking down on the human world—similar to Bocca. Although Nyelv has previously worked with Suga, this would mark the first occasion he collaborates with a good human.
