English Dub Review: To Your Eternity “The Wise Man’s Identity”

Overview

The team works to prevent the Nokkers from making use of the waterways and sewers. Fushi works non-stop rebuilding all the homes, and the exhaustion begins to show.

Our Take

This time around, Fushi and his gang are slowly allowed access to Renril in preparation for the Knokkers’ oncoming attacks. But Kahaku thinks that Fushi is overworking himself, and so requests him to sleep for the night. The thing is, with all the connections, Fushi can fool him but not his cursed arm, and it’s only a matter of time before he realizes it. To that extent, Eko goes wandering around looking for something to do to help, and she helped fix the waterways to have clean water again.

As Fushi progresses, so too is the identity of the Wise Man. With each and every connection, Fushi feels like he’s over-stretching himself a lot, but there is so much to do in so little time to not let the people see the eventual results. The problem is, the citizens have seen with their own eyes, and cannot discount what the Church of Bennett has been rumoring about all along…

Overall, this was a surprisingly decent episode. I thought there would’ve been more to the twist ending, but I’m glad the citizens didn’t just sell Fushi out or immediately go on a witch hunt, forgetting all Fushi did for their asses. While this excelled in terms of character progression this was more of a slow-burn episode with zero action, but that could change soon enough in later episodes.
