The Episode Review

Episode 3 revolves around Haruto becoming close to Charlotte, fighting for justice at her request, and gaining a reputation for being the “Black Knight.” The episode additionally recounts Haruto’s siblings’ visit. He then surprises everyone by defeating his brother Laius in a duel.

The anime has endowed our protagonist with extraordinary abilities. In this episode, we see him embark on missions for justice. While it is interesting to see the protagonist have a goal, giving him an Achilles heel could have made his character more interesting.
