English Dub Review: Let This Grieving Soul Retire “The Nine-tailed Fox Wants to Move in the Shadows”

The 13th Tail…



Overview

With some help, Krai manages to protect the Emperor. But unseen foes are plotting against them…




Our Take

Picking up from the previous episode, we continue the comedic misunderstandings, with Krai’s unpredictable antics driving much of the humor. His tendency to blurt out whatever comes to mind, combined with improbable luck, sets off a chain of accidental successes that leave both allies and adversaries bewildered. Meanwhile, Kris continues to shine as a loud, charismatic presence, and the episode highlights the growing bond between her and Krai, using their dynamic to balance chaos with charm. Subplots like the dragon encounters and the peculiar behavior of the “Nine-Tailed Fox” group add layers of absurdity while keeping the pacing lively and unpredictable.

Krai’s role as a reluctant problem-solver is amplified by his companions’ efforts, turning otherwise dangerous situations into comic triumphs. The episode cleverly uses these misunderstandings to explore character traits, revealing both the eccentricities and surprising ingenuity of the ensemble. Supporting characters, including Telm and the mischievous Liz, contribute to a web of accidental schemes that continually shift the power dynamics within the group, while maintaining a sense of fun rather than tension. The interplay between chaos and clever improvisation makes each scene entertaining, even when the narrative logic stretches plausibility.

Overall, this episode excels as a character-driven comedy, blending eccentric personalities with chaotic situations in a way that is easy to enjoy. The humor, timing, and interactions between Krai, Kris, and the rest of the cast keep the energy high, while the series’ penchant for playful misunderstandings ensures every development feels fresh and engaging. It’s a standout installment that balances absurdity and charm, making it accessible and fun for both returning viewers and newcomers alike.
