In this week's thrilling episode, we see Bell and Ryu attempting to hide in the Colosseum under Skull Sheep skins to escape the monstrous battles constantly raging around them. Unfortunately, luck is not on their side, as a Spartoi sees through their clever disguise and threatens to expose their presence.

Ryu, burdened with the heavy weight of being the sole surviving member of her family, is plagued by guilt and believes she is unworthy of life and holding Bell back. Therefore, she selflessly helps Bell escape, convinced that this is the best solution for both of them.

Despite her conviction, it becomes clear that Ryu's traumatic past still haunts her, preventing her from overcoming her guilt and self-blame. Bell, on the other hand, refuses to abandon her and risks his life to save her.

This act of heroism starkly contrasts Ryu's beliefs as she reflects on a flashback with her sister Alise. In this memory, she wonders what happens when someone puts their ideals into action, and Alise's answer is simple: They become a hero. By refusing to let Ryu succumb to her self-doubt, Bell not only saves her life but also gives her hope for a better future.

The episode follows the tried-and-true formula that has made the series so popular: Just when all seems lost, the protagonist steps in, saves the day, and pulls the viewer into the story with heart-wrenching tension.
