English Dub Review: To Your Eternity “The Awaited”

Overview

Kahaku, the sixth of Hayase’s descendants, introduces himself to Fushi. Much time has passed, and the Guardians have expanded their influence…

Our Take

The first male descendent of Hayase’s in a long time, 6th generation successor Kahaku, seems different from whatever Fushi encountered in his lifetime. The Church of Bennett is the evil believing that Fushi’s the catalyst in reeling the Knockers in rather than fighting against it, and the Guardians would benefit from Fushi joining their forces and believing in him being a miracle worker. But where there’re believers, there’re heretics driving him out, and Fushi needs a disguise to walk around, but it has to be Parona whom he is perfectly fine with to his appeal (and in the midst, trying to seduce as well).

The problem: Prince Bonchien Nocli of the Kingdom of Uralis, but honestly, he’s such a wimp. In exchange of the capture with letting the Guardians go, Fushi letting himself be captured along with Kahaku, Bon’s decisions can baffle the mind from being submissive to being kind. And back at home, Bon’s quite the idolized prince, extravagant in all regards, but in all essence, shielding Fushi away from the Church of Bennett and not letting him leave all at the same time.

Overall, the pacing this episode was definitely better, but there’s still something missing for me to really enjoy it. The main issue so far has been that important plot points just spawn out of nowhere with no real sense of underlying direction. But I’m hoping that improves in later episodes…
