Zetsuen no Tempest - Episode 3


Playing with fire?

It's funny how, despite the fact that their personalities are totally different, Yoshino and Mahiro make quite the dynamic duo. While the former is quiet and thinks before he acts, the latter is the opposite, an arrogant loudmouth who often rushes into things before analyzing them. Now, that's not to say either is better than the other; their strengths and weaknesses compliment each other's. I have a feeling the two will be able to go far, and Hakaze is lucky to have their help. Still, I can't shake off the feeling that the pair will eventually part ways due to conflict of interest, even aside from my now (probably) incorrect suspicion that Yoshino had something to do with Aika's death given that it was a Kusaribe clan member who was responsible. However, I actually think that whether this separation happens or not depends on how Hakaze functions as the middle(wo)man in their friendship.

The past of the two teens don't look too good either, judging by the preview. Despite their apparently good friendship, it seems that the two don't actually get along; it kind of feels like the friendship is forced. Why they still choose to travel together remains a mystery, but I assume Aika is part of the reason. Hopefully, this becomes clearer after the next episode, which appears to consist of informative flashbacks.
