In the latest episode, viewers are taken on a journey into the past and witness the heartbreaking downfall of the Astrea Familia. The story shows how the family was lured into a trap by the Evilus and Rudra Familias but fortunately managed to escape. However, their respite was short-lived when the Juggernaut, a terrifying creature with lightning-fast speed and destructive powers, suddenly appears and launches a devastating attack, wiping out the majority of the Astrea Familia.

Only a few members survived the onslaught, including Alise, Kaguya, Lyla, and Ryu. The latter is forced to watch as her friends sacrifice themselves by holding back the Juggernaut while she recites her "Luminus Wind" spell, allowing her to escape as the sole survivor.

After this traumatic experience, Ryu is burdened with self-blame and holds herself responsible for the deaths of her loved ones. She becomes obsessed with the idea of taking revenge on the Evilus and Rudra Familias, convinced that killing everyone involved is the only way to achieve justice. She doesn’t consider the consequences of her actions or the possibility that someone might kill her.

As the episode progresses, Ryu slowly begins to realize how heavy this burden is and how much suffering she is inflicting upon herself. She struggles to understand why Bell continues to save her—a murderer who has abandoned her ideals. Bell’s answer is simple: she would do the same for him. In his eyes, Ryu has always been a champion of justice and a hero. Despite her past mistakes, Bell only sees the Ryu who always knew what was "right," and he believes that the justice within her will live on.

Eventually, Ryu starts to believe that she can find her way back home as long as she is with Bell, whom she always refers to as Mr. Cranell. The episode reaches its climax when a monster that survived the earlier explosion in the coliseum emerges from the rubble, attacks Bell, and knocks him unconscious. Ryu is on the verge of losing him and calls out his first name, fearing he might be gone forever. However, it turns out Bell had a plan all along—he wanted to lure the monster closer so he could launch a counterattack.

In conclusion, this episode revolves around the themes of justice, ideals, and redemption. Bell sees Ryu as a hero because she was always there for the Hestia Familia, and he strives to embody all the best qualities of those who have helped him along his journey. Similarly, Ryu sees Bell as a hero and realizes that her ideals live on within him. With Bell by her side, Ryu regains her faith and is ready to walk the path of justice once again.
