This episode was a lot of fun in many ways. Firstly, I mentioned before that Masayoshi really needs his own weapon to fend for...

Alright, okay. Everybody relax. I think we can do this. Make sense of this, I mean. It makes sense! I promise. So, the first episodes raise the question of what a hero is.
