English Dub Review: Back Arrow “Is There Love on the Battlefield?”

v

Overview

Emperor Zetsu goes head-to-head against the berserk side of Princess Fine. As she loses touch with love, the princess doesn’t discern between friend and foe…


Our take

Damn! this is actually getting pretty interesting. Am I the only one here who thinks Fine’s character is pretty well written? She knew that she’s the worst when she turns into her evil form, so she decides that she has to give out all her love to max power when she can keep her own state Tenma Tsukamoto.

As the proceedings progressed, the war ended a bit anti-climactically, but I suppose that was the point. Zetsu ran out of time on his Warpers. If anything, Fine addressed the one thing of the scenario: “Is there love on the battlefield?” And through her Conviction, she managed to do the unthinkable in the scenario she was in.

Overall, it was a decent episode that ended on such an unexpected cliffhanger. All the time and investment that was put into the characters paid off. The action/animation was really good and I love that it’s one problem after the next with this show and that realistically, there’s always some catch to everything. To put it mildly, The Princess did NOT get a friendly welcome home which makes me curious what direction the show will take next?…
