English Dub Review: Kakuriyo -Bed & Breakfast for Spirits “I’m Infiltrating the Imperial Court.”

Overview

Our Take

Picking up from the previous episode, Aoi finds herself navigating rising tensions among the Ayakashi as warnings surface about Zakuro, a former Tenjin-ya worker who has since risen to prominence in the Imperial Court. Her attempt to keep a simple promise to deliver macaroons to Takechiyo draws her deep into court politics as distrust grows around Tenjin-ya and Odanna’s true nature threatens to ignite a potential disaster.

With the palace tightening control and Takechiyo taken away under dubious circumstances, Aoi’s determination becomes the quiet engine driving the episode forward. It reveals how far both allies and rivals are willing to go. Aoi, Sasuke, and Byakuya each contribute to a risky plan that bridges personal history with present danger. Byakuya’s past, shaped by the memory of his late human wife, casts a poignant shadow over the choices he makes, while Aoi’s compassion and culinary intuition once again become her greatest strengths.

Overall, this episode balances character insight with escalating stakes while keeping major revelations under wraps. Aoi’s unwavering resolve, the political unease surrounding Tenjin-ya, and Byakuya’s unexpected support create an atmosphere of rising tension that feels both personal and far-reaching. Though Odanna remains absent, the narrative, The episode emphasizes courage, loyalty, and the idea that even small acts like sharing food can carry tremendous emotional weight, even in the Ayakashi world. Continues to build toward a confrontation that could reshape events for what’s to come…
