Handyman Saitou has always been a series that explores the complexity and backstories of its various characters. The eleventh episode is no exception. It sheds light on the backgrounds of the demon duo and places the theme of family at the center of the plot. Yet, it is the enigmatic Morlock who takes the spotlight in this episode, carrying both the emotional and action-oriented aspects of the story.



The decision to focus on Morlock in this episode could be interpreted as a farewell to his character or simply as an expression of the author's fondness for the wise old wizard. In any case, Morlock's complicated relationship with the world and his unresolved issues add depth to the episode. While the previous storyline with Morlock was captivating, the current plot, which centers on family, is likely more tangible and engaging as it focuses on the relationships between characters like Saitou and Raelza.



Throughout the episode, the writers seem intent on showcasing Morlock's abilities and his various forms. His transformation into a younger version of himself is a poignant moment, symbolizing his ability to turn back time and protect his newfound family. This act could serve as a fitting conclusion to Morlock's journey, as he sacrifices his life force to save not only his own family but also the family of the demon dog. In doing so, he demonstrates a change of heart and a newfound acceptance of Saitou as his son-in-law.



However, the episode also has its lighter moments. The spell-casting sequences are visually captivating, and Morlock's temporary dog-like appearance adds some humor to the story. The juxtaposition of serious themes and lighthearted moments is part of what makes Handyman Saitou unique and entertaining.



Although the episode heavily focuses on Morlock, other characters like Gibungle, Franlil, and Ninia only make peripheral appearances. This decision might disappoint some fans, as it would have been interesting to see these characters more integrated into the story. Additionally, the ending of the episode feels somewhat rushed, leaving viewers uncertain about the ultimate fate of Morlock and the series as a whole.



As Handyman Saitou approaches its conclusion, fans can look forward to seeing how the story wraps up in the final episode. The series has been a wild ride from the start, full of unexpected twists. While it may be difficult to fully grasp the breadth of the series, it has undoubtedly been an unforgettable journey with a unique blend of humor, emotion, and action that has consistently captivated and entertained its fans.
