English Dub Review: Utawarerumono Mask of Truth “Return”
Overview
Kuon comes back to Ennakamuy, this time as the friend they all love and know…
Our Take
The gang is back after Haku’s loss, at least Nekone manages to get back her big sis but she knows it is because of Kuon’s loss her most important person, Munechika the ultimate shield is back in the action, shame about her no longer having her mask. Also, she’s aware that Haku poses as Oshitoru. I’m glad they cleared that up.
I even liked the Kuon vs Atui fight later in the proceedings which was interesting to see how many “secrets” aren’t quite secret later on it was revealed that Munechika was able to solo the Gaunji
Overall, I enjoyed that episode. A lot is going on in terms of who knows what that’s not being spoken aloud. Knowing that Kuon is aware it’s Haku gives her scene with Nekone a lot of subtle yet painful layers to it that Kuon is aware of exactly why she’s crying. I’m also interested to see how the following episodes go with political maneuvering as that’s not been a strong focus of the series yet, but I’m curious if it’ll lead anywhere…
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
