English Dub Review: Kakuriyo -Bed & Breakfast for Spirits “An Icy Assassin’s Bullet.”

Overview

Kiyo makes a decision that doesn’t go over well with Kasuga. But he doesn’t get to take it back right away…

Our Take

Picking up from the previous episode, the story heads north, blending emotional tension with growing danger as the group travels to the frozen region tied to Oryo’s past. Much of the episode focuses on strained relationships and unresolved feelings, particularly Kiyo’s uncertainty as a leader and Kasuga’s quiet devotion, with Aoi once again acting as the emotional backbone. While the romantic drama leans into familiar territory, it reinforces the series’ themes of responsibility, trust, and the cost of protecting others.

The second half raises the stakes, shifting from introspection to survival as outside threats force urgent decisions. Aoi’s defining selflessness takes center stage, and Oryo’s connection to the harsh northern land adds weight and melancholy to the unfolding events. The action itself is modest, but the tension comes through atmosphere and timing rather than spectacle.

Overall, this episode works as a tense setup that favors emotion and suspense over payoff. It can feel overly dramatic at times, and the pacing makes it clear not everything can be resolved soon, but the escalating danger and strong character focus keep it engaging and leave the season poised on an anxious cliff’s edge.
