What is it? Maybe it's my lack of words, which makes me think that the level of most Japanese anime is really just four words-injecting soul. The works that are endowed with soul will not be swallowed up by mainstream vision and ruthless capital. For Luo Lang, his trip to Japan is to find an opponent who can give his life meaning. For Chi Gui Wuming, his employer's life has made him find the meaning of life. In the end, Xiao Zai Lang's micro-expression really made me cry, maybe it's because my parasympathetic nerves are too excited. The blood at the end is matched with the footprints of horseshoes. Maybe on the way home, Wuming is dead.

    Nanashi: You've become pretty good. It feels... like I'm walking on top of the clouds.

    Kotaro: Don't flatter me. Are your wounds all right?

    Nanashi: Yeah... even a treasure like this comes in handy sometimes.

    Kotaro: Right?

    Nanashi: Really... you're some employer. Can you see the town?

    Kotaro: I can't see it yet. But, I'm sure it's close! Hey...

    Nanashi: Huh?

    Kotaro: Once your wounds heal, do you want to leave this country? If we go abroad, people there wouldn't mind your hair color, right?

    Nanashi: A foreign land, huh. That's not a bad idea. But how would we make money?

    Kotaro: We could steal, or become bodyguards. We can do anything! In fact, we could even become pirates!

    Kotaro: You're... really full of villainous ideas.

    Kotaro: [laughs] Hold on tight, so you won't fall off!

    Nanashi: Yeah.

    Kotaro: Let's go!
