“Kaleidoscope!”

Review

Let’s go with the reviewing!! This Episode is basically the real continuation where it was left off since Episode 4.

It seems that Kotori Itsuka is now getting cooler than before, and she is acting like a villain… to her other villains! No matter what the situation is, Kotori seemed to be cooling down, instead of acting reckless like a wandering flame. I have finally seen her true character, ever since when I saw her before in her Spirit and Commander forms.

I like the fact that the Fraxinus battleship has added more features, such as providing an item, in which it allows a user to access a “powerful armor” — Something like Woodman and Origami have used during their battle with Wescott and DEM forces respectively! And also, the remaining Spirits who weren’t able to participate in the battle were finally put into a good use by Kotori herself.

Finally, Shido has confronted Mukuro once again, and he was able to duplicate her powers as well (As seen in the featured photo of this post)!

It is important that teamwork is really important in order to win tricky battles, isn’t it? And like that one said, “In order to win, we need everyone. Without everyone, we cannot win!” Yep, this is what I have learned from this Episode, again.

Sometimes, our own feelings in our hearts aren’t really the ones who control us. It is just only “us” who control these inner feelings of us inside our own hearts.
