This episode represents a good shift in direction, leaning more heavily on worldbuilding and drama, while maintaining the lighthearted, low-stakes soul of the show. Still, the writing (or translation) remains muddled and confusing, and many of the jokes featured just don't make much sense to me.
But, as always, it's funny, interesting and heartfelt, and strengthening the layers of lore and emotion only makes it a better show, even if, at times, it doesn't make the most sense or land completely for me. It's an episode that improves over most others, but is still limited by some core aspects of the show itself.
